MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jaws Mustang Acquisition Corporation (NYSEA: JWSM), a special purpose acquisition company ("Jaws"), has suspended pursuit of its previously announced hospitality business combination. On March 8, 2024, Jaws entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("non-binding LOI") with investment affiliates of Starwood Capital Group (collectively, the "Starwood Capital Entities") that owned interests in a portfolio of hotels (the "Initial Portfolio"), including the 1 Hotel Central Park in Manhattan ("1 CP"), for a potential business combination. Subsequently, the Starwood Capital Entities received an offer from Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: HST) to purchase the 1 CP on terms which the Starwood Capital Group Entities concluded were in the best interest of their investors to accept. HST's acquisition of the 1 CP was consummated on July 31, 2024. To date, Jaws has not identified one or more additional hotel interests that would constitute a suitable replacement for the 1 CP in the Initial Portfolio. At the present time, Jaws has suspended further pursuit of such previously announced hospitality business combination.
