The final pieces are falling into place for National Storage Affiliates Trust's acquisition by Public Storage. A prorated dividend of $0.0336 per share has been declared for the July 1–21 period, payable just before the expected July 22 closing—contingent on shareholder approval at the July 14 special meeting. Crucially, holders of a majority of outstanding OP units have already consented, leaving only the common shareholder vote as the remaining condition. To manage the dividend right around the July 21 record date, the NYSE will implement due bill trading. With the vote days away and the deal's economics now fully defined, the merger is on the cusp of completion.
