Public Storage to acquire National Storage Affiliates in all-stock merger agreement
Public Storage entered into a merger agreement on March 16, 2026 under which National Storage Affiliates Trust would merge into a Public Storage subsidiary. Each NSA common share would convert into 0.1400 of a Public Storage common share, and the filing describes support agreements from certain NSA holders to vote for the deal. Completion depends on customary conditions, including approval by NSA shareholders and limited partners, so shareholders would receive Public Storage stock if the deal closes.
