VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (Marketwire) - The Trustees of Boston Pizza Royalties Income Fund (the "Fund") (TSX:BPF.UN) announced their intention for the Fund to maintain its current income trust structure beyond January 1, 2011 when legislative changes to the tax treatment of income trusts, commonly referred to as Specified Investment Flow Through tax (the "SIFT Tax"), become effective.
The Trustees of the Fund have examined all alternatives available to the Fund to maximize unitholder value in the face of the implementation of the SIFT Tax and believe that the Fund remaining a trust is in the best interest of unitholdes and the business for the following reasons: The Fund will avoid incurring significant administrative and legal costs associated with converting to a corporation, which conversion would not provide any material tax benefit to unitholders as the amount of SIFT Tax the Fund will pay in the current trust structure beginning on January 1, 2011 is approximately the same as the amount of corporate tax that would be payable if the Fund were to convert to a corporation; While there have been concerns over the future of investor interest in the income trust sector following January 1, 2011, the Trustees believe that there will be continued investor interest and access to capital based on Boston Pizza's proven track record of stable and growing distributions over the past eight years in the current trust structure; and The Trustees will continue to examine all available alternatives for the structure of the Fund and, under the federal SIFT Tax guidelines, can choose to convert to a new structure on a tax-deferred basis until December 31, 2012... |
