Sometimes these things work, sometimes they don’t.
The recent attempt to salvage value by way of a reverse merger of non traded REIT Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust into publicly traded shares of Retail Properties of America, Inc. (RPAI) did not work…..so far. Perhaps the future will bring an increase in share price, but given the general overall tempo of the economy, I am not optimistic.
Here are the economic of what happened. Inland Western was initially offered at $10 per share. The IPO of RPAI fell somewhat short of the $12 range predicted, coming out at $8. As of the time of this writing, RPAI is trading at $9, which is good, but that equates to just a little over $3 for the original shares of Inland Western. Check out the terms of the offering, not all of the shares can be traded currently.
