S&P 500 slips, but losses kept in check as Nvidia climbs ahead of results
Investing.com -- Life Science REIT, a UK-based property business specializing in the life-science sector, has initiated a strategic review to evaluate potential options for the company.
The move comes as the firm’s shares persistently trade at a significant discount to its asset value, a situation attributed to ongoing industry challenges.
The company announced on Friday that it is considering various alternatives, including a potential sale or winding down of the business.
Life Science REIT has expressed confidence that a potential sale would attract multiple interested parties, following discussions with prospective buyers.
In light of the strategic review, the company has decided to suspend any future dividends until the review process is completed.
This decision is a response to delays in leasing activity and the anticipation of further lease incentives, including rent-free periods to secure additional leases. These factors, along with their impact on cash flow, have contributed to the decision to halt dividends.
The strategic review is aimed at exploring all available options to address the company’s current situation, with the goal of maximizing shareholder value.
While the review process is underway, the company will continue to operate and manage its property portfolio. The outcome of the review and the company’s subsequent decisions will be disclosed once the process is completed.
