RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Bought MoreIt isn't really about a quick buck. It is also maximizing value as the REIT is trading distressed along with several other names in the sector. A SIB would be a value enhancer. Look at Dream, they were able to sell DIR near full NAV to buy D.UN at a huge discount during out of favor. Sets them up for when the cycle terms and REITs/office are more in favor and they can sell assets to buyback units which will be inevitably significantly higher in all reasonable likliehood.
Canceling a large numbers of high yielding common units here at $8 would be a steal for Artis and could be done quite cheaply. Manji said he has a pipeline of potential sales of assets for which he did not even list. He could make some real strategic decisions here given the success of 1H asset sales and potentially Cominar proceeds + public security dispositions.
