Distributions
Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)
The Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) has been activated for the distribution for the quarter ending 30 September 2020 onwards. To participate in the DRP for this distribution, completed forms will need to be received by the unit registry no later than 1 business day after the record date. Units issued under the DRP will be issued at a 1% discount to the market price calculated for the purposes of the DRP. The DRP and the 1% discount to the market price for units issued under the DRP, will remain in place until either the DRP is suspended or the terms amended. Securityholders will be notified if the DRP is suspended or the terms amended.
To participate in the DRP unitholders can update their elections online at InvestorServe or by completing a form available from Boardroom, the unit registry, phone 1300 737 760, +61 2 9290 9600, enquiries@boardroomlimited.com.au
Unitholders can now elect to participate fully or partially in the DRP by completing the appropriate forms. If securityholders do not elect to participate in the DRP they will continue to receive cash distributions. Further information is contained in the DRP Plan Rules
The Fund’s year-end for tax purposes is 30 June, at which time the net income and the components of the distributions are determined.
