Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) (TSX: INO.UN) announced today that its Board of Trustees has declared a special distribution of $0.225 per Unit. The distribution will be payable in Units to Unitholders of record as at December 31, 2024.
The special distribution will be made to distribute to Unitholders the taxable income realized by the REIT from transactions completed during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The special distribution will be paid at the close of business on December 31, 2024 by the issuance of Units that have a fair market value equal to the dollar amount of the special distribution based on the closing price of the Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange on December 31, 2024.
Immediately following the special distribution, the outstanding Units of the REIT will be consolidated such that the total number of Units outstanding will not change, and each Unitholder will hold, after the consolidation, the same number of Units as such Unitholder held before the special distribution.
The amount of the special distribution generally should increase the tax cost basis of Unitholders’ consolidated Units for Canadian federal income tax purposes.
The REIT cautions that depending on the tax status of the Unitholder, additional tax may arise associated with the special distribution. Unitholders not resident in Canada for Canadian federal income tax purposes will be subject to applicable withholding taxes in connection with the payment of the special distribution. The foregoing comments are not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any Unitholder. The REIT recommends that Unitholders consult their own tax advisors regarding the income tax consequences to them of this anticipated special distribution and related Unit consolidation.
