MIAMI, March 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Capital Group, a leading global investment firm, confirmed today that last week the firm and its controlled affiliates sold their entire 11,985,905 million common stock position in TRI Pointe Group, Inc. (NYSE: TPH). Starwood Capital Group said the decision to exit its stake was due to its ongoing disappointment in the performance of the Company over the past several years, lack of confidence in the strategic direction of the Company and disagreement over the best way to maximize shareholder value. Accordingly, Starwood Capital Group's two representatives on the TRI Pointe Board -- Barry Sternlicht, Chairman of the Board, and Christopher Graham - have resigned from their positions on the Board.
