NOTE NAME CHANGE: On March 9, 2012, in what is likely a damage control move, Inland Western changed its name to Retail Properties of America. Here is a link to Inland’s press release.
According to the company website, no shares are being repurchased by the company and, as is the case with all non-traded REITs, their website goes on to explain “Inland Western shares are not listed on a national exchange and cannot readily be sold”. Many of you already are aware of that sad fact if you have tried selling you shares.
Annualized per share distributions have fallen from $.6425 in 2008 to $.26 in 2011. A recent tender offer from CMG in late 2011 offered $3.50 per share. According to Inland secondary market trades have ranged from $4.08 to $6.00 per share. Any of these values are far less than the $10 initial offering price.
REITs attracted unsophisticated investors who were promised steady, dependable distributions of income. Many investors were not made fully aware of the risks associated with these investments.
