The Properties are expected to contribute further to AREIT's operating cashflows, boosting dividends per share. The Properties were valued based on a stable level of operating income and the expected yield of the property after considering long-term sustainable growth of 3% for office, mall and hotel assets. AREIT's dividend yield is approximately 5.4% from its existing assets based on the 30-day VWAP of P43.93. Hence, the asset-for-share swap will be accretive after the new assets are infused. Estimated yields and total shareholder return are subject to actual operating performance and market conditions. |
