3 terms
transferable rights offering financial
"announced the results of its transferable rights offering (the "Offer")"
A transferable rights offering is a company raising money by giving existing shareholders tradable tokens called “rights” that let them buy new shares at a set price. Think of it like a coupon that shareholders can either use to buy discounted stock, sell to someone else, or let expire; it matters to investors because exercising preserves ownership percentage while selling can provide cash, and the overall offering can dilute share value for those who do nothing.
subscription price financial
"The subscription price of $12.15 per common share was determined"
Subscription price is the set amount an investor pays to buy newly issued shares, bonds or units when a company offers them directly, such as in a rights issue or subscription offering. It matters because it determines how much an investor’s ownership cost will be, affects potential gains or losses and influences dilution of existing shareholders—think of it as a pre-order price that helps decide whether joining the new issue is worthwhile.
net asset value financial
"90% of the average of the Fund's net asset value per common share"
Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.

NEW YORK, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. (NYSE: RQI) (the "Fund") today announced the results of its transferable rights offering (the "Offer"), which commenced on June 18, 2026 and expired on July 15, 2026 (the "Expiration Date"). The Offer was led by UBS Investment Bank as the sole dealer manager.

The Offer is expected to result in the issuance of approximately 12,642,989 shares of the Fund's common stock (the "common shares") (including notices of guaranteed delivery), resulting in anticipated gross proceeds to the Fund of approximately $154 million, or $220 million after adding anticipated leverage to the gross proceeds raised. The Fund will receive the entire proceeds of the Offer since Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor"), the Fund's investment adviser, has agreed to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the Offer. 

The subscription price of $12.15 per common share was determined based upon the formula equal to the higher of 92.5% of the average of the last reported sales price of a common share on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the Expiration Date and each of the four preceding trading days on the NYSE or 90% of the average of the Fund's net asset value per common share at the close of trading on the NYSE on the Expiration Date and each of the four preceding trading days (the "Subscription Price"). Common shares will be issued promptly after completion and receipt of all stockholder payments.

Joseph Harvey, Chief Executive Officer of Cohen & Steers, said:

"With the continued support of our investors, we are supplying RQI with proceeds to further capitalize on the compelling investment opportunities emerging across both listed and private real estate. I am grateful for all the investors who continue to place their trust in Cohen & Steers."

Mathew Kirschner, Portfolio Manager, U.S. Real Estate, said:

"We believe that real estate is in the early stages of a new cycle. In addition, structural tailwinds including a retail renaissance, AI-driven digital transformation, and changing demographics including an aging population, are converging with limited supply to create compelling investment opportunities across real estate. With the support of our investors, this rights offering enables RQI to invest fresh capital at what we believe are attractive valuations into these opportunities."
