Insights
Kennedy-Wilson is taken private in a $10.90-per-share cash merger, and Fairfax-affiliated holders fully exit.
The amendment describes completion of a Merger Agreement where a merger subsidiary combined with Kennedy-Wilson, leaving it as the surviving corporation. Each outstanding common share, excluding specified exceptions such as rollover and appraisal shares, was converted into the right to receive $10.90 in cash per share.
The document also notes that warrants held by the reporting persons were cancelled for no consideration, and that all listed Fairfax-related entities now report 0% beneficial ownership. This means the prior large shareholder group is no longer an equity holder following the transaction.
After the merger, Kennedy-Wilson intends to file Form 25 to delist from the New York Stock Exchange and then Form 15 to terminate registration and suspend reporting under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Subsequent company filings around the June 16, 2026 effective date will frame the transition to private status.
