with the recent price surge, i have a feeling rickmers may do a rights issue soon... Usually a rights issue comes about after some sudden price surge, if you have enough money, you can always create a temporary net demand to increase the share price

Come to think of it, the rights exercise price is 24 cents SGD (around 20 cents USD), the total dividends received from May 2008 until today is about 20 cents USD. What a wonderful company, they are asking back all their money, shareholders are taken for a nice ride

^^^ Yes. That's the life of REITs investors. Sometimes they themselves dont even realise it.....
REITs are not family heirlooms that can pass to your grandchildren. S-REITS have yet to be tested by the eventual interest rate upcycle

Trust and Reits are different, as for the rights, you can choose to sell the rights and the shares, you dun have to subscript...
MOst reits have not seen Asian Financial Crisis where interest goes near the 10% mark, but that would be an extraordinary event, whereby every counters will be slammed, not just Reits. Reits have gone throu period of time whereby interest are close to 4% and they are doing ok

The mistakes were done in 2007 - 2008 when the Management chose to leverage heavily to purchase vessels at peak price AND failed to take on amortizing loans. There were plans in 2008 to raise a substantial rights issue of US$650 million to finance the acquisition of 5 Mitsui vessels, 4 Hanjin vessels and 4 Maersk vessels. As we all know, the GFC came - vessel valuation declined, liquidity dried up and unit price plunged. Some of the M&A contracts were cancelled and RMT had to pay a penalty fee to the parent company. Today, Rickmers face continued pressure on vessel valuation (weak LTV), the increase likelihood of decline in cash-flow as vessel leases start to mature next year and increased loan amortization in 2013 onwards. Throw in the Convertible Bond and expiry of LTV covenants- the situation isn't healthy. The rights issue will give the Trust some breathing room but I don't think it will clear up the problem entirely unless the container rates start to improve in 2014 onwards. The moral of the story is simple - don't over-leverage to purchase vessels (part finance it with equity), take on long term LTV-free amortizing loans so you won't be exposed to the shipping cycle directly, spread out your M&A across the cycle and don't engage in speculative M&A without financing in place and retain a portion of the profit for a rainy day. Granted, the Management did deliver operationally - vessels are largely deployed and there was no counter-party default. Interestingly, they are maintaining the DPU which implies a doubling of distributable income. I wonder will this be sustained in 2014 onwards when leases start to expire. I suspect a recovery in freight rates is the main upside going forward.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

At least lee Hsien Yang's wife is supporting the rights issue. She last supported MIIF at 30c and look at the price of MIIF today!
