- Additional tax information is available on the PECO Investor website, under the Tax Matters Tab.
Why is my cost basis lower than my purchase price?
- Throughout PECO’s history, distributions have included non-taxable (also known as return of capital) and taxable dividends. Typically, non-taxable (return of capital) dividends lower an individual’s cost basis.
- It’s important to note that an investor’s original purchase price and cost basis are not necessarily the same amount.
- Because PECO has distributed non-taxable (return of capital) dividends, an individual’s cost basis is usually lower than the original purchase price.
- This is particularly relevant to our investors that originally invested in Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT I, Inc. (“REIT I”).
- Investors that originally invested in Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc. (“REIT II”) are less affected.
- Where appliable, investors’ cost basis information will be printed on the September 30, 2021, statements, which will be mailed to in early October 2021.
- Cost basis details are available to financial advisors via the Computershare Financial Advisor Portal.
- Cost basis details are available to investors via their online account with Computershare – under the Activity / Transactions heading.
- Please consult your financial advisor, custodian, or tax professional for details on your cost basis.
How did the IPO impact Phillips Edison’s former non-traded REIT investors (Class B Common Stockholders)?
- Prior to the IPO, shares held by PECO’s existing stockholders were converted into Class B common stock on July 2, 2021.
- Class B common stock remained illiquid until January 18, 2022. On this date, the Class B shares automatically converted into PECO’s Nasdaq-listed common stock.
- The capital raised in the IPO can help PECO grow over the long term, and the IPO has provided liquidity to PECO’s former non-traded REIT investors.
- See “Can I sell my stock?” below for more details.
What happened in January 2022 to fractional Class B shares upon the conversion into Common Stock?
- Because only whole shares can be converted into the Nasdaq-listed common stock, any fractional shares were automatically sold into the open market on January 18, 2022.
- Class B stockholders received cash proceeds of this sale in lieu of the fractional share that they were otherwise be entitled to receive. Class B stockholders received the proceeds in the same manner that they receive their monthly cash distributions (i.e., electronic deposit, deposit to custodian, physical check). Payments are expected to be distributed to investors by February 2022.
- For example: If an investor held 1,234.567 shares of Class B common stock, PECO sold 0.567 shares into the open market, and the investor received the proceeds of the sale in cash form. The price at which the trade is executed will be the market value of the stock on January 18, 2021.
- Non-qualified accounts will receive tax documents related to the fractional share sale (i.e., 1099-B) from Computershare (or custodian), along with their 1099-DIV for the 2022 tax year. These forms will be delivered in early 2023.
Did the company do a stock split?
- Yes. On July 2, 2021, PECO executed a one-for-three reverse stock split of each issued and outstanding share of PECO’s common stock.
- On the same day, PECO executed a reclassification of its stock such that each outstanding share of common stock was converted into a share of Class B common stock.
- PECO’s Board of Directors approved the stock split on June 14, 2021, and PECO’s stockholders approved the reclassification on June 18, 2021.
- Although the reverse stock split reduced PECO’s total shares of common stock outstanding, it affected all stockholders equally and proportionally. PECO’s business remains unchanged and there is no economic impact to PECO’s stockholders.
- Stockholders received more details with their June 30, 2021, statement and received a statement thereafter that reflected the reverse split.
