Product Overview |
|
|
The Corporation was created to obtain exposure to the investment performance of an actively managed portfolio of secured loans and investments (the “Reference L.P.”) in the Canadian commercial real estate sector on a tax efficient basis. C.A. Bancorp Ltd. (the “Manager”) believes there are excellent opportunities for the Corporation to gain exposure to well-structured commercial mortgage and real estate loans with attractive debt yields. Most large Canadian financial institutions focus on larger loans and longer term mortgage transactions, as the loan underwriting and due diligence time required for any size commercial real estate loan is virtually the same. The Manager believes the lender market that competes for smaller value and shorter term loans and mortgages is presently under-serviced and highly fragmented.
The Corporation’s investment objectives with respect to the Preferred Shares are to:
(i) provide Preferred Shareholders with fixed cumulative preferential quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.4219 per Preferred Share, representing a yield on the issue price of the Preferred Shares of 6.75% per annum (except that the first distribution will only be $0.105); and
(ii) return the original issue price of the Preferred Shares after 10 years. Distributions on the Preferred Shares are expected to comprise primarily of returns of capital and/or capital gains dividends. |
