Westfield Century City Sold To French Company In $16 Billion Deal

Westfield Corp., which operates malls in the Los Angeles area, around the nation and in Britain, is being sold to French commercial real estate giant Unibail-Rodamco in a $16 billion deal, the two companies announced Tuesday.

The cash-and-stock deal values shares of Australia-based Westfield at $7.55 a share, an 18 percent premium over Monday’s closing price, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Westfield’s 16 California locations include its Century City shopping center, which recently completed a $1 billion makeover.

5.  GIVE WISELY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

During the holiday season, many Angelenos traditionally donate money and goods for charitable causes around the world. The charities include their favorites as well as start-up charities created in response to crises. This generosity, however, produces a spike in solicitations.

Angelenos can arm themselves with methods to distinguish the honest and effective charities from the frauds and ineffective charities. The Charitable Services Section (CSS) of the Los Angeles Police Commission offers assistance and advice for giving wisely to charities.
