Q: AX.UN dropped around $1.50 after 3rd quarter results and a release from the company on Nov 1 which stated it will be cutting its payout ratio by about 53%. A part of that release stated under the heading "Overview of New Initiatives:
...The REIT will immediately focus on repurchasing its units through its existing normal course issuer bid (the NCIB) to capitalize on the current trading price, which is presently at a significant discount to its NAV. The REIT has sufficient liquidity to execute the NCIB and intends to continue with the repurchase of units in the future to the extent that the REIT's significant discount to NAV persists...further on it says as a result of the improved balance sheet and the increase in retained cash flow from the revised distribution, the REIT will have the ability to repurchase units...

To me this feels a bit shady in that it announces an initiative that will result in the stock taking a hit and then they are going to buy back the stock at the lower price.

A couple of questions:
1. Will the shareholders have the option to keep their stocks and not sell in a buyback?
2. If you owned a fair amount of stocks in this REIT, would you hold or sell?

Thanks,

Paul
