Four rights entitled the unitholder to purchase one trust unit for a price of $9.50 until 4:00pm local time on November 20, 2007.
The rights offering resulted in the issuance of 9,468,337 trust units for gross proceeds of $89.9 million. The reason for the offering is to provide the Trust with additional capital that can be used to capitalize on certain attractive investment opportunities that the Trust's Investment Manager has identified and foresees arising over the next few months.
