Allow me to simplify this. If Chemtrade fails to meet their obligation of distributing the committed percentages of their earnings to the unit holders, not only will the unit price remain stagnant, but they may also face an investigation by the SEC and a potential class-action lawsuit from investors
The first thing that would happen is their status as a Trust would be rescinded. Then they'd be sued. Not sure how their exchange status would be affected. Nonetheless, you are totally right about their requirement to distribute; taxes, debt, Capex, etc, not withstanding, they have to distribute their profits to shareholders...thus why it is a distribution and not a dividend. I've always wondered why it is a fixed value, for that reason...under some circumstances it should pay out higher. Perhaps it's a payout ratio thing? I don't know.
