Q: Will Preferred Trust common shares be listed on an exchange?

A: It is expected that Preferred Trust common shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Preferred Trust is newly organized and has no operating history or history of public trading. There can be no assurance as to the depth or quality of the market for Preferred Trust common shares.

If you sell your common shares of Dividend Trust before the Distribution Record Date and are no longer a shareholder of Dividend Trust as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, you will not receive shares of Preferred Trust pursuant to the Transaction. If you sell your common shares of Dividend Trust after the Distribution Record Date, you will receive the common shares of Preferred Trust that you would have received had you continued to hold such shares of Dividend Trust. However, it is anticipated that shares of Dividend Trust will trade with “due bills” from a date three business days prior to the Distribution Record Date through the Distribution Date, and any Dividend Trust shareholder who sells common shares of Dividend Trust during that period will also be selling the right to receive shares of Preferred Trust in connection with Dividend Trust common shares sold.
