Q: Which REITs are most affected by potential exit of HBC? Would this have any significant effect on remaining retailers of clothing and textiles. I was once told by retail analyst there is significant over capacity in retail floor space devoted to clothing.

Q: What do you think of the $11 Catalyst offer? Is there any chance this offer will be accepted given that approximately 57% of the shares are owned by the Baker group? How do you see this "bidding war" ultimately playing out?

Q: Why is HBC trading approximately 8% below the $10.30 takeover offer? I know Catalyst has indicated that they have enough votes to reject the offer. Even if the offer is rejected and Baker walks away, approximately 85% (Baker's group and the Catalyst block) of the shares are now held by individuals/institutions that believe there is significant long term real estate value. Furthermore, the TD Securities valuation and fairness opinion indicates the company is valued between $10 - $12.25. Shouldn't this set a floor for the stock price?
