Ascott Reit - Rights Units Applications

 Results of Rights Units Applications for Ascott Reits are as follows:


No. of Rights Units% of Rights Issue
Valid Acceptances246,557,766 97.2

Total415,011,067 163.6


From the results, it seems many investors subscribe to the rights allocation they were entitled to. In fact, only 2.8% were available for the excess applications. This came as a surprise as Reits are generally getting weaker and weaker each day from the news of Fed tapering. Perhaps, the huge discount plays a big factor in subscribing, at least that's for my case.


I don't hope much of getting excess applications. But at least I will be entitled to my rights, just like the 97.2% of people who subscribed to it.
