SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. Files Class Action Suit Against Starwood Waypoint Homes

WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 19, 2017 -- Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it has filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on behalf of holders of Starwood Waypoint Homes (“SFR”) (NYSE:SFR) common stock in connection with the proposed acquisition of SFR by Invitation Homes, Inc. and its affiliates (“INVH”) announced on August 10, 2017 (the “Complaint”).  The Complaint, which alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against SFR, its Board of Directors (the “Board”), and INVH, is captioned Berg v. Starwood Waypoint Homes, Case No. 1:17-cv-02896-JKB (D. Md.).

If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Seth D. Rigrodsky or Gina M. Serra at Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803, by telephone at (888) 969-4242, by e-mail at [email protected], or at http://rigrodskylong.com/contact-us/. 

On August 9, 2017, SFR entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with INVH.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shareholders of SFR will receive 1.6140 newly issued shares of common stock of INVH for each share of SFR common stock they own (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Among other things, the Complaint alleges that, in an attempt to secure shareholder support for the Proposed Transaction, defendants issued materially incomplete disclosures in a Form S-4 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Complaint alleges that the Registration Statement, which recommends that SFR stockholders vote in favor of the Proposed Transaction, omits material information necessary to enable shareholders to make an informed decision as to how to vote on the Proposed Transaction, including material information with respect to SFR’s and INVH’s financial projections, the analyses performed by the companies’ financial advisors, and potential conflicts of interest.  The Complaint seeks injunctive and equitable relief and damages on behalf of holders of SFR common stock. 

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 18, 2017.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  Any member of the proposed class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
