OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On December 13, 2023, Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP (NYSE: GHI) (the “Partnership”) announced that the Board of Managers of Greystone AF Manager LLC (“Greystone Manager”) declared a distribution to the Partnership’s Beneficial Unit Certificate (“BUC”) holders of $0.44 per BUC. The distribution consists of a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.37 per BUC plus a supplemental distribution payable in the form of additional BUCs equal in value to $0.07 per BUC. The supplemental distribution will be paid at a ratio of 0.00415 BUCs for each issued and outstanding BUC as of the record date, which represents an amount per BUC based on the closing price of the BUCs on the New York Stock Exchange on December 12, 2023 of $16.87 per BUC. No fractional BUCs will be issued in connection with the supplemental BUCs distribution, as all fractional BUCs resulting from the distribution will receive cash for such fraction based on the market value of the BUCs on the record date. The Partnership expects to issue an aggregate of approximately 95,000 BUCs for the supplemental BUCs distribution.
The cash distribution and supplemental distribution will be paid on January 31, 2024 to all BUC holders of record as of the close of trading on December 29, 2023. The BUCs will trade ex-distribution as of December 28, 2023.
While the Board has not yet declared any distributions for subsequent quarters, the Board currently intends to declare an additional supplemental distribution of $0.07 per BUC payable in the form of additional BUCs during the first quarter of 2024. Both the current and expected future supplemental distributions are a result of the Partnership’s expectation of strong operating results for the full 2023 fiscal year which are anticipated to permit the Partnership to make distributions to BUC holders in excess of its regular cash distributions. The payment of the supplemental distributions in the form of BUCs allows the Partnership to retain additional capital to fund future investment opportunities which the Partnership and the Board believe will accrue to the benefit of BUC holders.
“We are pleased to announce the fourth quarter 2023 distribution which is consistent with the Board’s previously stated intent,” said Kenneth C. Rogozinski, Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership. “The payment of the current and future supplemental distributions in the form of additional BUCs will allow BUC holders to benefit from our deployment of the retained capital into accretive investments in a cost-efficient manner.”
Greystone Manager is the general partner of America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two, the Partnership’s general partner. Distributions to the Partnership’s BUC holders, including regular and any supplemental distributions, are determined by Greystone Manager based on a disciplined evaluation of the Partnership’s current and anticipated operating results, financial condition and other factors it deems relevant. Greystone Manager continually evaluates the factors that go into BUC holder distribution decisions, consistent with the long-term best interests of the BUC holders and the Partnership.
