RE:RE:NO DRIP
RE:RE:NO DRIPI agree with no DRIP. Kind of defeats the purpose of the NCIB/SIB process. I think it would only be wise to bring in a DRIP if the payout ratio was too high (i.e. reduce cash outflows by the DRIP's and this reduces the ratio) - but I don't think this is an issue.
With respect to the capital gains, the REIT can keep the non-taxable portion of the capital gain so they could retain 50% of the capital gain to pay off debts and fund repurchases. What I am not certain of is how much gain there is for tax purposes, were they depreciating the properties (recapture = 100% tax)? Is there an allocation to land (100% gain as can't depreciate land)? So a couple unknowns there. But either way, they should be in a posiition to keep 100-200 million from the proceeds I would reckon so that is a good starting point.
