SENDAS ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO VOLUNTARILY DELIST ITS AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES FROM NYSE

Published

on

SÃO PAULO, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (B3: ASAI3; NYSE: ASAI) (“Company”) announces that the Company’s Board of Directors approved at the meeting held on this date, the intention of the Company to proceed with the voluntary delisting of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing five common shares of the Company and represented by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (“Delisting”), including the change of the Company’s ADR program to Level 1, in order to enable investors to maintain ownership of their ADSs, which may be traded on over-the-counter markets after the Delisting, as applicable, and deregistration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), once the Company complies with the applicable deregistration requirements.

The Company clarifies that the application for listing and admission to trading of its common shares on the Novo Mercado segment of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“Novo Mercado”) and the application to list its ADSs on the NYSE were granted in February 2021 in the context of the corporate reorganization involving the Company and Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (GPA), as disclosed to the market in general at the time.

However, the Company considers that maintaining a secondary listing on the NYSE is not currently beneficial, given that trading of the Company’s common shares is predominantly concentrated (around 87%) on the Novo Mercado. The Delisting is in line with the Company’s long-term strategy of maintaining efficient operations, given the low cost characteristic of the Company (“low-cost company”).

Accordingly, the Company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC in due course seeking to make the Delisting effective by January 9, 2025. The Company expects immediately following the Delisting, the ADSs will begin to trade over-the-counter. Thereafter, if and when the requirements are met, the Company will file a Form 15F with the SEC to deregister and terminate its disclosure obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company reserves the right, for any reason and at any time, to postpone or cancel the filings of Forms 25 and 15F or otherwise modify its plans with respect to this matter

Finally, the Company clarifies that: (i) its common shares will continue to be listed and admitted to trading in Brazil, on the Novo Mercado, which is its primary trading market, maintaining all periodic and occasional disclosures required by applicable Brazilian regulations; and (ii) committed to high standards of governance, even after the effectiveness 2 of the Delisting and the deregistration with SEC, the Company will voluntarily maintain its current corporate governance practices.

The Company will keep its shareholders and the market in general informed of any material updates regarding the matters mentioned herein.

By

DENVER, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Principal Real Estate Income Fund (the “Fund”), which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PGZ,” announced the declaration of monthly distributions of $0.105 per common share, payable on the dates noted below. Based on the Fund’s current net asset value share price of $11.42 (as of market close on December 27, 2024), the distributions represent an annualized distribution rate of 11.03%.

The following dates apply to the distributions declared:

RISKS

This press release is not for tax reporting purposes but is being provided to announce the amount of the Fund’s distributions. In early 2026, after definitive information is available, the Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying how the distributions paid by the Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions on a shareholder’s tax return (e.g., ordinary income, long-term capital gain or return of capital). An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. The Fund is designed as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle.

Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or even all of your investment and exposure to below-investment grade investments (i.e., “junk bonds”). The Fund’s net asset value will vary and its distribution rate may vary and both may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in the market spread over a specified benchmark, market interest rates and performance of the broader equity markets. Fluctuations in net asset value may be magnified as a result of the Fund’s use of leverage. Therefore, before investing you should carefully consider the risks that you assume when you invest in the Fund’s common shares.

Securities backed by commercial real estate assets are subject to market risks similar to those of direct ownership of commercial real estate assets including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, declines in rental or occupancy rates and risks related to general and local economic conditions.

The Fund’s investment objectives and policies are not designed to seek to return the initial investment to investors that purchase shares.

Sources of distributions to shareholders may include net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains, net realized long-term capital gains and return of capital. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the fund provides a Section 19(a) notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at that time, available at www.principalcef.com. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year’s distributions) contained in shareholders’ 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain an  annual report or semi-annual report which contains this and other information visit www.principalcef.com or call 855.838.9485.  Please read them carefully before investing.

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value and initial offering prices.

NOT FDIC INSURED | May Lose Value | No Bank Guarantee

The Fund is a closed-end fund and does not continuously issue shares for sale as open-end mutual funds do. Since the initial public offering, the Fund now trades in the secondary market. Investors wishing to buy or sell shares need to place orders through an intermediary or broker. The share price of a closed-end fund is based on the market’s value.

ALPS Advisors, Inc. is the investment adviser to the Fund.

Principal Real Estate Investors LLC is the investment sub-adviser to the Fund. Principal Real Estate Investors LLC is not affiliated with ALPS Advisors, Inc. or any of its affiliates.

ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. is the FINRA Member firm.
