According to the 2016 Final Results Announcement, a final distribution of approximately RMB0.1506 (which is equivalent to HK$0.1699) per Unit will be paid to persons who are registered Unitholders as at 12 April 2017 (Record Date), subject to dilution upon issuance of Units to the REIT Manager for settlement of 85% of the Manager's Fee in respect of the period between 1 July 2016 and 31 December 2016. The register of Unitholders will be closed from 12 April 2017 to 13 April 2017, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Units will be effected.

On 10 March 2017, 14,401,158 new Units (representing approximately 0.49% of the 2,936,181,642 Units in issue immediately after such issue) were issued to Yuexiu International Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yuexiu Property Company Limited, for settlement of 85% of the Manager's Fee arising from the real estate owned by Yuexiu REIT.
