That's $0.93 X 500000 = $465000!
How many lots do you think you will finally get?
For cornerstone investors there is NO lockup period for this reit.
See page 55 of prospectus.
Thanks for the info re no lock-up!
I am aiming for 25 lots... I'm awaiting completion for the apartment I bought, so have a bit of cash lying around in the meantime before paying it out.
BTW, I'm aiming for a quick first day gain of 4 to 5c, and will let it go.

So if reach $1 or more then you sell?
Best of Luck!
Btw this is Page 53 of prospectus.
Do you think it will affect the reit if they lose the case?
I am worried about this.
But some people say if read too much of prospectus will get too cautious and end up not buying.
Yup, 98c I will sell already
Another post FYI. See also this.
Sorry, page 53 did not appear - can you resend?

Investment moats website - I like that guy and I follow his blog closely as part of my learning process of stocks.
The other one is new to me but I will read in detail.
Prospectus Link: H E R E
Their page 53 is page 69 out of 700 pages in my pdf version.
Hope you can locate it.
I copied and paste here for you.
"There is a pending appeal in relation to HK Gateway Plaza Company Limited which owns Gateway Plaza that may adversely affect the value of the Units.
There is a pending appeal before the Supreme People’s Court of China (“Pending Appeal”) in relation to a claim for the return of an alleged loan of RMB210.0 million (that purportedly took place in June 2007), filed by Beijing Bestride Real Estate Development Co Ltd (“Bestride”) against HK Gateway Plaza Company Limited (“HK Gateway”) which owns Gateway Plaza (the “Litigation Action”)."
There is some comfort from the following points listed in the prospectus:
a. the sale and purchase agreement in relation to the sale of the shares of BVI SPV to RREEF CCT contained a clear statement that the vendor of the shares of BVI SPV, being Tin Lik, was obliged to settle all intercompany debts between Bestride and HK Gateway prior to the completion of the transfer, save for an external loan of US$235 million then outstanding and
payable by HK Gateway to a bank (which does not cover the alleged loan of RMB210 million from Bestride to HK Gateway);
b. there is also no evidence of any loan given by Bestride to HK Gateway in the audited accounts prepared by HK Gateway’s auditors;
c. the vendor of Gateway Plaza (being MIC) has in the Beijing Gateway Share Purchase Agreement provided MGCCT with an indemnity against any losses that may be suffered by MGCCT as a result of the Litigation Action and in relation to the Beijing Representative Office, subject to MIC’s liability under the Beijing Gateway Share Purchase Agreement being limited to 10% of the Beijing Gateway Consideration (as defined herein).

was looking at Tradehaven's post
http://tradehaven.me/2013/02/21/bond...at-crossroads/
Olam perpetual's yield is 11.28%. so payback is 8.8years ?
Olam bond that matures in 25-oct-22 is 7.18%. so payback is 13.9years?
so from a risk point of view, if Olam would to go bankrupt/default in the next 5 years, wouldnt perpertual be a better bet since i get back 11.28 * 5 = 56.4% of my capital back versus 7.18*5% = 35.9% back ?
sorry if i sound stupid to the experts' here.
It seem like the straight bond has moved a little higher after the initial minor correction 2 weeks ago. Juts FYI only. Below Bond availability is arranged by yield:

Perpetual can stop dividend payment anytime they want, so no guarantee that you will get the dividend. That is why I say, avoid perpetual, don't be fooled by them!

Need some advise:
Olam 2.5% bond maturing 6 Sept 2013 is trading at around par. Given the half-yearly coupon payments, doesn't that mean that effectively one is earning 2.5% in slightly more than 6 months (as the 6 March half-yearly coupon payment is not made yet), i.e. yield is essentially just under 5%?
If so, sounds like a good investment? No risk associated with long-dated bonds, and not likely Olam will default in this sort of time horizon.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Given the short time span and under 5%, probably few want to take the risk? As we know, Olam is high risk investment

Actually, in my personal situation, the short time span works just fine, and 4.8% effective yield (nett of buying comm) is sufficiently attractive (for me).

I guess a lot of people hope to sell it on the first day.
What if the cornerstone investors all sell on first day .
Hubby tried to apply thru ATM today during lunch time but cannot get thru.
Perhaps lots of people were trying at the same time.
Well, if you they have management control, then no choice have to raise it from ashes. But they own only 20% or so, there is no need. Just like they write off CITIC, a few hundred Millions $ (precedent!). So, my view is they will not bail out Olam if it happens (just like CITIC).

In this instance, I would not be so concerned.

so even if rates go up to 3%, and Olam new bond offering 10year maturity 8% yield/coupon, I would be better off buying the perpetual with 11% yield?
I am comparing Olam bonds only with differing maturity dates.
I bought SG$250k Petra Food straight bond 5% coupon at 100 par on 20th Apr12. Maturity date is 2017. LTV given is 70%. So come out cash 30% of SG$250k = SG$75k. Borrowing interest for $175k @ 1.35% including custodian fee..
Rec'd the 1st payout on of Sg$6250 on 20th Oct12.
Expect to rec the next payout of SG$6250 on 20th Apr13
Just rec'd a early redemption letter from Petra food . A 3% (103) incentive will be given to bond investors holders who agree to the early redemption of the bond. It will take est 6-7 mths (Oct 13) to complete the buyout from the bond investors.
Likely profit from Petra food bond for holding for 18 mths est $6250X3+ $7500 (3% of 250k ) = SG$26,250k.
Net return for holding 18 mths =$26.25k - $3.6(borrowing cost) = S$22.65k
==============================================
With the latest cooling measure nos 7 + increase in property tax. Buying straight bond with no leverage can be a alternative for those low risk investors.Just need to be patience for the yield to be attractive level to buy. Currently still hv S$3m bond. Need to slowly de-leverage.
