ERES Declares Monthly Distribution for February
European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: ERE.UN, “ERES”) has recently made a significant announcement regarding its monthly distribution for February. The trustees of ERES declared a cash distribution of €0.005 per Unit and Class B LP Unit, marking a notable commitment to its Unitholders. This distribution is equivalent to €0.06 on an annualized basis and is scheduled to benefit holders of these Units who are on record as of February 28, with a payment date set for March 17.
Details of the Distribution
The upcoming monthly distribution will be made in euros; however, it will be converted to Canadian dollars based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of payment, which is estimated to be C$0.00741 per Unit.
