VANCOUVER, Aug. 29, 2017 /CNW/ - Sunstone U.S. Opportunity (No. 4) Realty Trust ("Sunstone US#4") is pleased to announce a special and final distribution.
Following the completion of post-closing audits at the property, the Trust paid a special final distribution in the gross amount of US$1,574,096.77 (US$79.40 per unit) to unitholders of record as of August 15, 2017 with a payable date of August 18, 2017.
The Trust expects to provide notice of its intention to terminate and dissolve to The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS") in due course and expects to complete the dissolution at the end of 2017. The notice shall, among other things, further specify the termination date and the location at which CDS is to surrender the certificate representing the units for cancellation.
Steve Evans, Founder and CFO commented, "Since its initial public offering, Sunstone US#4 has distributed a gross total of US$20,075.23 for every US$12,500 invested. On a total return basis, the Fund performed well delivering a 60.6% return on equity in USD, and returned an estimated internal rate of return (IRR) of over 8.9% in U.S. dollars, and 15.3% in Canadian dollars. It is gratifying to have executed our game plan and delivered very profitable results for our investors."
Final Special Distribution
As a result of the post-closing adjustments including but not limited to property tax assessments, a reduction on estimated remaining costs for the fund, and the sale of remaining HOT.UN units, Sunstone issued a final special distribution totalling a gross amount of US$1,574,096.77 (US$79.40 per unit) to unitholders of record as of August 15, 2017 with a payable date of August 18, 2017. Please note that this distribution is based on Sunstone's best estimates at the time of distribution, and may be amended to reflect the year-end final allocation. Tax records will be generated to reflect the appropriate U.S. withholding.
Until such time that CDS surrenders the certificate, the Sunstone US#4 units should be valued at $NIL.
CDS will issue a bulletin to advise participants of any adjustments to the tax records to reflect year-end rebalancing between actual U.S. tax liability and U.S. withholding taxes paid to the IRS.
