Invesco REIT Commences DST Program
Invesco Real Estate Income Trust Inc., a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust, announced that the company has entered the securitized Delaware statutory trust space with the commencement of its DST Program, which had been authorized by its board of directors last summer. Invesco REIT may issue and sell up to $3 billion in private placement offerings via its Delaware statutory trust program.
The REIT operating partnership, Invesco REIT Operating Partnership L.P., will guarantee each master lease agreement and will retain the right to acquire the DST interests from their investors at fair market value any time after two years from the closing of the applicable DST offering in exchange for units of the operating partnership or cash. After a one-year holding period, investors who acquired operating partnership units via the DST program may generally have the right to cause the operating partnership to redeem all or a portion of their OP units for, at the discretion of Invesco REIT, shares of common stock in the REIT, cash, or a combination of both.
