Hines REIT Plan of liquidation

According to recent SEC filings, Hines REIT filed its articles of dissolution with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. The articles, which became effective upon filing, relate to the company’s plan of liquidation. Stockholders approved the plan in November 2016.

The board of directors recently amended the plan of liquidation. The REIT plans to remain in existence as a corporation for federal income tax purposes until it makes its final liquidating distribution.

Hines REIT to Liquidate

In early July, the Hines REIT board of directors unanimously approved a plan of liquidation. They estimated that shareholders would receive distributions of $6.35 to $6.65 per share of common stock if the plan is executed.

Hines REIT previously distributed $1.01 per share from July 2011 through April 2013 which was designated as partial return of invested capital. Shares were originally priced between $10.00 and $10.40 each, with a final offering price of $10.08.

Hines previously announced that it will stop paying regular quarterly distributions after the second quarter of 2016 and expected to make final distributions to its stockholders on or before December 31, 2016.

Unfortunately for investors, CFX Alternative Trading, a secondary market for private placements, is offering shares of CNL Lifestyle Properties for just $5.50 per share. That’s significantly less than the original purchase price of $10.00 per share.
