Debt funding • Currently investigating securitisation of major portion of long-term debt • Initial indications: significant interest savings possible
Liquidity • Stated strategic objective to extend unitholder base and improve liquidity • Exercise still under way, but progress already made
Prospects • Market conditions likely to remain favourable • Portfolio enhancement will provide strong foundation for organic rental growth • Barring the unforeseen, real growth in distributions forecast for coming year
