On April 2, 2023, the Company and Life Storage LP (“Life Storage OP” and, together with Life Storage, the “Life Storage Parties”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Extra Space Storage Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Extra Space”), Extra Space Storage LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Extra Space OP”), Eros Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Extra Space (“Extra Space Merger Sub”), and Eros OP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Extra Space OP (“Extra Space OP Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the combination of the Company and Extra Space through a series of transactions including, among others, (i) a merger of Extra Space Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Extra Space (the “Company Merger”) and (ii) a merger of Extra Space OP Merger Sub with and into Life Storage OP, with Life Storage OP continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Extra Space OP (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”).
