Commerce Split Corp. has confirmed that the annual rates for its Preferred Shares will remain unchanged for the upcoming five-year period beginning December 1, 2024.

Extension of Term and Options for Shareholders
Previously, Commerce Split Corp. announced its plan to extend the termination date by another five years, pushing it to December 1, 2029. For shareholders who decide not to continue investing, there is an opportunity to exercise retraction rights. This option allows them to sell their shares back to the Company at a price based on the net asset value per unit, calculated as of November 29, 2024.
Options for Shareholders: Sale and Retraction
Shareholders also have the flexibility to sell their shares on the market whenever they prefer, which might yield a better price than the retraction price the Company offers. If investors wish to retain their shares, they can do so and benefit from ongoing payments and potential future value appreciation.
