GREENWICH, Conn., Jan. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today announced that its Board of Directors has formally declared the distribution of common shares of Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust ("Starwood Waypoint"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Starwood Property Trust. The distribution will complete the spin-off of Starwood Waypoint from Starwood Property Trust. Following the distribution, Starwood Waypoint will be an independent, publicly-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") primarily focused on investing in U.S. single-family rental homes and non-performing residential mortgage loans.
The distribution will be made on or about January 31, 2014 (the "Distribution Date") to Starwood Property Trust stockholders of record ("STWD Record Holders") as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 24, 2014 (the "Record Date").
On the Distribution Date, Starwood Property Trust will distribute all of the Starwood Waypoint common shares to STWD Record Holders. Each STWD Record Holder will receive one Starwood Waypoint common share for every five shares of Starwood Property Trust common stock held on the Record Date. STWD Record Holders are not required to take any action to receive Starwood Waypoint common shares in the distribution, and they will not be required to surrender or exchange their Starwood Property Trust shares. On the first trading day after the Distribution Date, February 3, 2014, Starwood Property Trust's shares of common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "STWD," and Starwood Waypoint's common shares will commence trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "SWAY."
The distribution remains subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") declaring effective Starwood Waypoint's registration statement on Form 10, which Starwood Property Trust expects to occur in the coming days.
A presentation containing more information regarding the spin-off of Starwood Waypoint will be available on Starwood Property Trust's website, www.starwoodpropertytrust.com, in the "Investor Relations" Section.
Trading Before the Distribution Date
The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") has informed Starwood Property Trust that, in connection with the spin-off, there will be three trading markets expected to begin on January 22 and to continue through and including January 31, 2014:
In the "regular way" market (NYSE: STWD), shares of Starwood Property Trust common stock will trade with the right to the Starwood Waypoint common shares distributed on the Distribution Date.
