The proposed all-share merger of CREI and abrdn Property Income Trust (API), recommended by both boards and approved by CREI shareholders will not proceed, having failed to achieve sufficient backing from API shareholders. Whilst the transaction would have brought beneficial increased scale, CREI is well place to organically deliver continuing income-focused returns from its diversified portfolio of higher-yielding portfolio of below-institutional sized regional assets. Rents have continued to grow and the portfolio has strong reversion potential.
