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.
