Company Guidance
During the Equity Commonwealth (EQC) earnings call for Q3 2024, the company provided updates on its strategic transition, including the sale of properties and shareholder plans. The company is under contract to sell its properties in Austin and Washington DC, recognizing a $50 million non-cash impairment charge this quarter, with expected sales proceeds totaling $234 million, consistent with previous estimates. A special shareholder meeting is scheduled for November 12, 2024, to approve the Plan of Sale, which could result in distributions ranging from $19.50 to $21 per share. Should the plan be approved, EQC will adopt liquidation basis accounting by year-end, and expects to pay off Series D preferred shares and declare a common distribution of $18 to $19 per share. The company aims to complete asset sales by the end of Q1 2025, with subsequent NYSE delisting and SEC deregistration in Q2 2025, while maintaining REIT status for 2024 and 2025.
