We have rolled out our new Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase
Plan (the "Plan") which allows our existing shareholders to increase
their holdings of our common shares and gives new
investors
an opportunity to make an initial investment in our common
shares.
If you are an existing shareholder, you may purchase additional
common shares by reinvesting all or a portion of the dividends paid on
your common shares and by making optional
cash payments
of not less than $50 up to a maximum of $10,000 per month.
- If you are a new investor, you may join the Plan by making an initial
investment of not less than $1,000 up to a maximum of $10,000.
-
Once you
enroll
in the Plan, you may authorize electronic deductions from your U.S.
bank account for optional cash payments.
Your participation in the Plan is voluntary and you may terminate
your account at any time. If you elect not to participate in the
dividend reinvestment portion of the Plan, you will receive dividends,
if and when declared by our board of trustees, by check or automatic
deposit to a U.S. bank account that you designate.
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the "Administrator") administers
the Plan.
