December 22, 2022 – On March 22, 2022, Maxus Realty Trust, Inc. (“Maxus” or the “Company”), a real estate investment trust specializing primarily in multifamily apartment communities, announced that it was undertaking a strategic review of its portfolio of properties to enhance shareholder value and that the strategic review may include opportunistic sales of a significant portion of its property portfolio to take advantage of the current market environment for multifamily housing.
Since that announcement, Maxus has completed the sale of 17 properties for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $388 million, including approximately $48 million in mezzanine equity that Maxus retained. As a result of these transactions, Maxus’ Board of Trustees declared a special dividend on December 1, 2022 of $100 per share payable on December 22, 2022 to shareholders of record on December 12, 2022.
On December 20, 2022, Maxus’ Board of Trustees declared an additional special dividend of $53 per share payable on January 31, 2023 to shareholders of record on December 30, 2022.
“After declaring the first special dividend on December 1, 2022, we are pleased to have been able to complete the sale of five additional properties,” said David Johnson, Maxus Chairman and CEO. “It has been a challenging market at the end of 2022, but we are pleased with the results we have achieved through this process.”
Maxus will continue to assess market conditions for opportunistic sales in the near term, which may include potential sales of additional properties. No timetable has been set for completion of this process, and there can be no assurance that this review process will result in any transactions or as to the terms of any such transactions. While the Company continues this process, the Company has suspended its regular monthly dividend effective after the regular dividend payable December 15, 2022. If the Company is successful in completing additional sales, the Company expects to declare one or more additional special dividends in future periods in lieu of regular monthly dividends. The Company currently expects to reinstate regular monthly dividends following completion of the strategic review process. However, the reinstatement of regular monthly dividends will be subject to the ultimate results of this process, and there can be no assurance as to the future reinstatement of regular monthly dividends or the levels of any such dividends, although the Company currently expects that any such dividends, if reinstated, would be at reduced levels as compared to historical periods as a result of the number of properties sold pursuant to the process.
