EVT.PR.A to Be Redeemed

Economic Investment Trust Limited has announced:

that on November 30, 2009 it will redeem for cash all of its outstanding 5% Cumulative Preferred Shares Series A at a redemption price of $53.125, comprised of $50.00 per share, a premium of $2.50, and accrued dividends in the amount of $0.625 per share.

Even the most Assiduous Readers may be forgiven for asking ‘What?’. The June 09 Financials state:

At June 30, 2009, there are 5,615,535 Common Shares issued and outstanding and each share is entitled to one vote. There are 7,200 (2008 – 7,700) 5% Cumulative Preferred Shares Series A issued and outstanding. During the fi rst quarter, the Company purchased 500 Preferred Shares Series A for cancellation.

So the total market capitalization of the preferreds comes to less than half a million dollars. EVT.PR.A closed today at 51.23 bid for 800, no offer. This is the first mention of EVT.PR.A on PrefBlog. EVT.PR.A is not tracked by HIMIPref™.
