NoneAGNC Investment Corp. Declares Fourth Quarter Dividends on Preferred Stock50 YEARS, eight generations, and still going strong. That’s the story of the Volkswagen Golf in 2024 - the definitive compact hatchback. Over 37 million Golfs have been built since it first rolled off production lines in 1974, and half a century later it’s still very much going strong. Better yet, while today’s car market is largely dominated by cookie-cutter mid-sized SUVs, the Golf remains relatively true to its original philosophy; a practical, affordable, well-built, fun-to-drive hatchback, which all started with the Mk1. But what is it that truly makes the little motor so special? In November, I was lucky enough to meet Anna Bebbington, Events Manager at the Mk1 Golf Owners Club , at the NEC Classic Motor Show in Birmingham. Standing next to a gleaming selection of Mk1 Golfs, including Volkswagen’s original press car and the very first GTI, I first asked her what makes the model resonate so deeply with car fans. “I think it's iconic, and it brings back people's memories of childhoods of that era - it’s like their dad's car,” she said. “And I also think it's all about getting in one. It’s the smell when you climb in. “It’s the way it looks, they’ve got a certain shape. There’s not a shape like that around now.” But Anna, who herself owns a Mk1 Golf Cabriolet from 1991, also talks about how it’s the perfect daily driver, as well as a budding classic car. “My Cabriolet was my daily car for five years. I used to go to work in it,” she said. “I've had my car for nearly 17 years. It's part of the family. But I also think people are seeing these now as a kind of investment. “But even so, they’re still very drivable.” This isn’t just unique to Anna either, as she explains that other members of the Mk1 Golf Owners Club, which itself is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024, have driven their near-50-year-old machines from all corners of the country - including Ireland and Scotland . Over the years, the Golf has evolved with each generation - each boasting its own distinct design and features . The Mk4, released in 1998, is often considered the first ‘modern’ Golf and introduced features like a fully galvanised body and all-wheel drive. In 2019, VW released the Mk8 iteration - their most technologically advanced and sophisticated version to date. Indeed, the model was initially criticised by many for its complex infotainment system, which has since been significantly improved by the release of the Mk8.5 facelift earlier this year. It seemed VW listened to its fans, offering a more user-friendly interface, sometimes even bringing back physical buttons, while still maintaining the famous level of quality throughout its interior. Despite her proclivity for the Mk1 Golf, Anna is also a big fan of the newer models . “I particularly love them," she told me. “I've actually just ordered a new Golf GTI for delivery next year. I think they're amazing, and they’re such a drivable car. “I just think maybe the shape of them has gone away a little bit.” Naturally, I had to ask an expert like Anna what I should look for, should I be in the market for a classic Mk1 Golf one day in the future . She said: “You're looking for something either in a very original condition or restored to a high standard. The cars that are very original tend to be worth more. “There's a lot of highly modified Mk1s out there, but they need to have been done well.”k| h�V�x��a ݋���?ʆ�pM4�~ݡ��hk��Ñ��.��n0(�����2*B����x�K�9�W�+�$w�I@�t��0�-�!�Q'�>�aq_81N�!ץr�d/�V��Y�E>.��ؐ"����fePƈ�O�H�{Ó7���"���7�a���K츄�����6�3n�i������_ّ]��9}~�ĩ*zOʌ5�?ȁ#�fgc*�_���\�uT%��«��sA��`��|��{d�ܠ�뎫|_��P�Ґ�S��"k�����E�����((��)S����eԕIدI��Ҳ�TI<�4�͜w��/E<���qǽ!�™Ζ�8�fE=M�ޱ�}��|x����i^ d����PnC���pM��ܢf!IBf������e��H��1�:��]:|�l�� ���<�-mQ� VT��3g�?���@�=���9���N���5��S�i�����C��O�؍��\כ��Ŋ;l�。

Georgian police fired tear gas to disperse thousands of pro-EU demonstrators on Monday, who had rallied in the centre of Tbilisi amid a deepening political crisis in the Black Sea nation. The country's prime minister hours earlier had vowed "no negotiations" with the opposition, enraged by the ruling Georgian Dream party's decision to shelve EU accession talks after it claimed victory in an election they decried as fraudulent.

Mink Ventures Grants Stock OptionsTORONTO, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (“ ERES ” or “ the REIT ”) (TSX:ERE.UN) announced today an update on the expected closing of its previously disclosed strategic dispositions, and timing of its anticipated special distribution and distribution reduction, as announced in its press release dated September 16, 2024. Strategic Dispositions As disclosed on September 16, 2024, ERES Limited Partnership (“ ERES LP ”) and certain other subsidiaries of ERES have entered into an agreement with an entity owned by a consortium of parties that includes TPG Angelo Gordon, Dream Unlimited Corporation, Stadium Capital Partners, and several co-investment partners (the “ Purchaser ”), to sell certain entities owning 2,947 residential suites in the Netherlands for proceeds, net of certain estimated adjustments, of approximately €695 million (the “Disposition I” ). Approval for Disposition I has been received from the Dutch competition authority (ACM), and the Purchaser has notified ERES of an expected closing date of December 16, 2024. Also as previously announced, certain other subsidiaries of ERES have entered into a separate agreement to sell 232 residential suites in the Netherlands for gross proceeds of approximately €44 million (the “Disposition II” , and together with Disposition I, the “Dispositions” ), which ERES expects will close on December 2, 2024. There can be no assurance that all requirements for closing of the Dispositions will be obtained, satisfied or waived, nor that the Dispositions will close on the dates disclosed herein. Special Distribution Subject to the completion of the Dispositions in accordance with the terms and timing described above, ERES intends to declare a special cash distribution of an estimated €0.75 per Unit and ERES LP’s exchangeable Class B LP Unit (equivalent to an estimated C$1.10 based on the foreign exchange rate of 1.47 on November 21, 2024), payable to holders of the REIT’s Units and ERES LP’s Class B LP Units of record at the close of business on December 23, 2024, with payment on December 31, 2024 (the “Special Distribution” ). For Canadian income tax purposes, the Special Distribution is estimated to be comprised of a return of capital in the range of approximately 55-65%. The Special Distribution will not qualify for the REIT’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan. It is expected that the Toronto Stock Exchange will implement its “due bill” trading procedures with respect to the Special Distribution. Further details relating to the Special Distribution, if declared, will be provided at a later date. The Special Distribution has not yet been declared and there can be no assurance as to the timing, quantum or composition for Canadian income tax purposes of any such distribution. Distribution Reduction Furthermore, as previously announced, given the expected completion of the sale of approximately half of the REIT’s residential suites in 2024 and payment of the Special Distribution, the Board of Trustees intends to reduce its monthly distribution by approximately 50% (the “ Distribution Reduction ”) to better align distributions with ERES’s remaining portfolio. Subject to the completion of the Dispositions in accordance with the timing described above, and subsequent to the payment of the Special Distribution, ERES expects the Distribution Reduction to become effective for its January 2025 distribution, payable in February 2025. Further details relating to the Distribution Reduction, if implemented, will be provided at a later date. There can be no assurance as to the timing or magnitude of any future distributions by the REIT. Property Management Update In addition, with the significant decrease in portfolio size upon anticipated closing of the Dispositions and the associated diseconomies of scale, ERES announced that it has entered into an approximately fee-neutral agreement to transfer property management services for the REIT’s remaining portfolio in the Netherlands to a third party, expected to enter into effect on or about January 15, 2025. Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust will continue to act as the REIT’s asset manager. Proposed Netherlands Tax Amendment Finally, ERES provided an update on the Dutch government’s legislative proposal to amend the earnings stripping rule (by abolishing the €1 million threshold for real estate entities), as published on September 17, 2024. Further to previous disclosure, on November 14, 2024, the Dutch House of Representatives passed an amendment to the legislative proposal pursuant to which the taxable EBITDA threshold would be increased to 24.5% and the €1 million threshold for real estate entities would, however, be retained. Such amendment would maintain the current ability of the REIT’s subsidiaries to deduct net financing expenses for Dutch corporate income tax purposes. The revised legislative proposal is subject to approval by the Dutch Senate, expected by mid-December, and is projected to become effective as of January 1, 2025. There is no assurance that the potential amendment will ultimately be enacted by the Dutch government or enter into force as per the timeline indicated. As such, it is subject to change, and such change (and the impact of such change on the REIT) may be significant. Should the potential amendment be implemented as described above, and after adjusting for the estimated effect of previously disclosed dispositions, the REIT’s forecasted current income tax expense for the year ending December 31, 2025 for the remaining portfolio is approximately €4 million. This assumes ongoing rental operations, however, ERES will continue to explore all available opportunities to drive value, including the possibility for future strategic property sales, which would alter the estimated current income tax expense for the REIT’s residual portfolio. ABOUT ERES ERES is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust. ERES’s Units are listed on the TSX under the symbol ERE.UN. ERES is Canada’s only European-focused multi-residential REIT, with a current portfolio of high-quality, multi-residential real estate properties in the Netherlands. As at September 30, 2024, ERES owned approximately 6,300 residential suites, including approximately 3,200 suites classified as assets held for sale, and ancillary retail space located in the Netherlands, and owned one commercial property in Germany and one commercial property in Belgium, with a total fair value of approximately €1.6 billion, including approximately €0.7 billion of assets held for sale.
