Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Box.un is 5 percent of my non-registered holdings with my cost at $16.00. There doesn't seem to be much more upside from the current market price and, if perchance, the takeover should fall thru, box.un will drop back to the $26 range. The risk of holding seems too high. Is there any chance the buyout could fall thru and would you hang on or unload the stock?
Thanks.

Q: BPY-UN has offered $30.10 per unit of BOX-UN on January 23.
BOX-UN closed at $31.25 on January 24.
Please confirm or explain following:
Is the BPY-UN offer all cash
Is a tax free rollover contemplated
When will the purchase close

Would you sell the BOX-UN into the market and buy an equivalent amount of BPY-UN? I am comfortable holding BPY-UN.

Would you recommend another Canadian "office" REIT to replace BOX-UN. I specifically purchased BOX-UN to represent high quality Canadian office REIT.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hello,

Looks like Brookfield Properties would like to take out the approximately 16% of the company it doesn't already own.The stock is trading above the $30.10 being offered for the shares/. There are rumours that there is a large shareholder of the remaining interest that is holding out for $33 or higher, do you know anything about this? Is there somewhere where one can go to find out more?

Thanks!

Q: I've owned this stock for some years and have been disappointed with its movement. I do like the management of the Brookfield companies in general and would like to consider trading out my position with another Brookfield company. What is your opinion on 'BOX' and might you prioritize another Brookfield company?
