Q: Hi I received my new shares of AW from my old AW.UN. For my 355 of AW.UN I now have 345 of AW plus I received $390.48 in cash. I will not get full details until I get my statement at the end of the month. In the mean time the broker has stated " MER - A&W REVENUE ROYALTIES INCOME FUND TRUST UNITS DEFAULT: C$.99472 CASH +.97311 SHS + C$0.1052 DIST PER 1 OLD " Can you help me figure out this logic in layman's terms? Thank you for your better interpretation.
5i Research Answer:
The $0.1052 is the regular monthly distribution payment. The units were converted into new AW shares, however there was a pro-rata allocation of cash and shares, and that is why there were slightly less shares exchanged, with the difference being the rest of the cash payment in the conversion.
