what happened
The board of Service Properties Trust (SVC) reviewed the letter from Blackwells Capital and unanimously concluded that its requests are not in the best interests of shareholders, Reuters reported. In its response, the board said it expects EBITDA from retained hotels to rise by $109 million within 12 to 24 months.
For investors this is an open clash with an activist shareholder over the company's hotel strategy. The board's reply sets out its position but does not itself change reported financials, so the next moves by Blackwells and other shareholders will matter.
