On May 30, 2019 the Trust’s Board of Trustees approved a one cent semi-annual dividend, payable on July 31, 2019, on shares held of record a July 19, 2019. This continues the Trust’s recent practice of paying total annual dividends of two cents per share, payable one cent each semi-annually on July 31 and January 31. This dividend continues 49 consecutive uninterrupted fiscal years during which the Trust has paid annual dividends, since the formation of the Trust and the initial listing of its shares on the New York Stock Exchange in 1971.

 

The Trust’s listing of the Albuquerque Hotel for sale for $7.5 million expired on April 30, 2019. The Trust continues to entertain offers at this asking price, but decided not to relist the property at this time because management perceives that year-over-year increases in operating revenues and anticipated profits have occurred, which could command a higher listing price.

 

Effective May 31, 2019, the Trust listed the Tucson Hotel for sale at a price of $15.8 million with a real estate broker who successfully sold four other InnSuites hotels in the past three years. The Trust set forth this price as the asking price for the Tucson Hotel in its current Annual Report on Form 10-K, and management believes that that year-over-year increases in operating revenues and anticipated profits support this as a listing price.

 

As part of the Trust’s business strategy, and as described in the Trust’s current Annual Report on Form 10-K, management is actively seeking a larger company that is not listed on the NYSE AMERICAN as a potential partner for a reverse merger. The Trust has begun limited discussions with potential candidates.

 

On May 30, 2019, the Trust’s Board of Trustees set a date of July 24, 2019 for the Annual Shareholder meeting, to be held at 11:00 AM MST at the Trust’s corporate office:  1730 East Northern Ave, Suite 122, Phoenix, AZ 85020. Shareholders of record of the Trust on June 24, 2019 will be entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 the Trust repurchased 36,454 Shares of Beneficial Interest on the open market for a total cash repurchase price of approximately $36,000.
