You may have recently received communication from Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc. (CCIT) that they are merging with Select Income REIT (SIR )to enhance shareholder value. This information, while helpful, may prompt further questions for you about your IRA holding.
This merger has caused significant changes in the relationship between FTR and the product CCIT merged into, SIR. FTR keeps its costs low by utilizing the product sponsor’s existing transfer agency structure. This allows us to embed our services into the media, mailings, and reporting that is already in place for the product sponsors. This merger has transitioned CCIT off of that structure. Due to this transition, the FTR IRA account holders impacted by this merger will receive notification and explanation from FTR on the new structure and services on their account.
Starting on January 30, 2015, please use the mailing and contact instructions listed below for all requests on SIR FTR IRA account(s).
