MONSEY, N.Y., May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The law firm of Wohl & Fruchter LLP has renewed its investigation into the fairness of the proposed sale of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings (NYSE: KW) (“KW”) for $10.90 per share in cash in a take-private transaction led by KW’s CEO William McMorrow and senior management, along with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“Fairfax”), KW’s largest shareholder.
The sale price is only a modest premium over KW’s closing price of $9.89 per share on February 13, 2026, the last trading day before the deal was announced on February 17, 2026.
Wohl & Fruchter has renewed its investigation of the proposed sale after reviewing the definitive proxy (“Proxy”) filed by KW with the SEC on May 5, 2026, soliciting KW stockholders to approve the proposed sale at a vote presently scheduled for June 10, 2026.
According to the Proxy, as of May 1, 2026, McMorrow owned 8.4% of KW’s outstanding common stock, and Fairfax owned 19.9% of KW’s outstanding common stock.
The sale was approved upon the recommendation of a purportedly independent special committee of the KW board of directors.

“We are investigating whether the Special Committee acted in the best interests of KW shareholders in recommending the sale,” explained Joshua Fruchter, a founding partner of Wohl & Fruchter. “This includes whether the members of the Special Committee were truly independent, whether the sale price is fair to KW shareholders, and whether all material information regarding the transaction has been fully disclosed. With the upcoming vote, we encourage KW shareholders to contact our firm as soon as possible if they have any concerns about the sale price.”
