$GOOD This is what happens when they business openly plans to use ATM offerings to pay off debt.
They need to sell assets, not use shareholders as a get out of jail free card.
If they sell, their AUM goes down, and for that reason they won't. (less management fees).
The market is saying "We will not absorb your dilution at these prices because the dilution is non-accretive."
They are issuing shares at 12% plus dividend yield (they pay 12%+)....and targeting property that yields 7.5% -> 9.5%.
NEGATIVE ARBITRAGE SPREAD. That's robbing peter to pay paul, and the end result is a dividend cut of massive proportions if they do issue ATM. The issue of shares at these prices; permanently restructures this company as a much lower price stock.
...and don't for a second buy into the 'aww shucks' routine they tried in the most recent earnings report. "Oh, I didn't know this property we bought was in this place we bought it" - SURE PAL.
