Important Notice
Dividend Capital Trust (DCT) announced today that it has filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that outlines its plans to internalize its external management advisor, Dividend Capital Advisors. Please use this link to view the proxy statement. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to all DCT shareholders, who will be asked to elect a slate of Directors to the company’s Board and approve the internalization transaction and several other related proposals. A special committee to the company’s Board of Directors has concluded that the internalization of the advisor is in the best interests of DCT and its shareholders, and will also better position DCT to potentially pursue a listing of its shares on a national securities exchange, which is one of DCT’s stated corporate objectives. Please use this link to view a press release highlighting this news.
Additionally, DCT has filed its Form 10-Q outlining second quarter 2006 financial and operating performance. Funds From Operations (FFO) in the second quarter of 2006 were $0.17 per fully diluted share, and as of June 30, 2006, DCT owned, managed or had under development 385 properties totaling more than 59.1 million square feet in 24 markets, leased to more than 800 corporate customers. To learn more, please use this link to view a press release related to quarterly performance.
DCT will be hosting a conference call to discuss quarterly performance and the proposed internalization transaction.
