R&R REIT Replaces its Unit Issuance Plan with Units for Services Agreements with its Non-Executive Trustees
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Jan. 4, 2023 /CNW/ - R&R Real Estate Investment Trust (TSXV: RRR.UN) (the "REIT") announces today that in order to comply with evolving TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") rules relating to security-based compensation, it has terminated its unit issuance plan for non-executive trustees, which allowed non-executive trustees to elect to receive all or a portion of their trustee retainer fees in units of the REIT, rather than in cash. In lieu of the unit issuance plan, the REIT has instead entered into units for services agreements with each of its non-executive trustees who wish to receive all or a portion of their trustee retainer fees for the 2022 year in units, rather than in cash. The units for services agreements with each such non-executive trustee, which have been conditionally approved by the TSXV, set out the dollar amount of trustee fees to be paid in units. Details regarding the amount elected by each of the non-executive trustees are set out below:
Non-Executive Trustee |
Amount of 2022 Trustee |
Graham Blyth |
US$15,000 |
Louise Dermott |
US$15,000 |
Irfan Lakha |
US$15,000 |
Geoffrey Morphy |
US$15,000 |
The number of units issuable will be calculated using the volume-weighted average trading price for the units of the REIT on the TSXV for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of issuance (provided that the price per unit shall not be less than the maximum permitted discounted market price on the date of issuance pursuant to the TSXV rules) and the daily average exchange rate for CAD:USD reported by the Bank of Canada on the business day prior to the issuance. The trust units that are issued will be subject to a four month hold period. The issuances are expected to occur in early January 2023.
R&R REIT is an open-ended real estate investment trust focused on increasing unitholder value through the acquisition and ownership of hotel properties located in the United States.
