TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Partners Real Estate Investment Trust (“Partners REIT” or the “REIT”) (TSX:PAR.UN) previously announced a special distribution of $0.87 per outstanding unit to unitholders of record on November 2, 2018 to be paid on November 9, 2018 (the “Payment Date”).
After further consultations with the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), the TSX has revised its guidance and the units of the REIT trade on a “Due Bill” basis from and including November 1, 2018 until the close of trading on November 12, 2018 (the “Due Bill Period”). The units will commence trading on an ex-distribution basis (i.e., without an attached "Due Bill" entitlement to the special distribution) commencing the opening of trading on November 13, 2018. The Due Bill redemption date will be November 14, 2018.
As a result of the units trading on a Due Bill basis during the Due Bill Period, those entitled to be paid the special distribution owing on the Due Bills should expect to receive that payment by the Due Bill redemption date of November 14, 2018. Unitholders prior to the Due Bill Period who do not purchase or sell units during the Due Bill Period will not have their applicable special distribution payment impacted by the Due Bill process.
