From pg 9 of CRCT (not CMA) slide set http://infopub.sgx.com/FileOpen/CRCT_Pre...eID=260891

"Jointly managing the mall since July 2013"

This mall, the Grand Canyon Mall, is the subject of the proposed acquisition which is not completed yet. The CRCT reit manager would have property managers managing malls in it's portfolio, for which fees would be paid by the unitholders to the property managers.

Since Grand Canyon Mall is not yet in the portfolio and not yet contributing to the reit's income for unitholders, just who is paying for the property manager who is jointly managing the mall?

Sorely missing from this announcement is also a forecast that when the dust finally settles, it will be yield accretive for CRCT unitholders.

The current NPI yield is 3.5% but CRCT believes the potential is 7-8% in the longer term. Slide 24 (as indicated on bottom left of slides) of the set below may give a better idea.

Thanks! On slide 25:
Expected to be yield accretive post completion

This info is from a non-deal roadshow slide set in Sept - wonder why they didn't include this critical piece of info in the preferential offering slide set.

as of the latest quarter, the NAV is ard 1.47 with last price 1.405. I think it is right for them to issue rights @ discount as opposed to a PO below NAV.

For all the bad press reits get for rights and placements (and rightfully so with some reit managers blatantly abusing unitholders by diluting their holdings to increase AUM), this one looks like an example of a benign rights issue.
