Universalidad TIN may take on debts through bank loans, capital lease, issue of credit-backed securities, transitory liquidity operations, and other means approved by the Board of Directors.
The debt cap is 40% of the assets value, the liens may be for up to 40% of the real estate assets and must be authorized by the Board of Directors. Exceptions are the operations for less than 2% of the Assets values.
The risks associated with the investment in TIN securities are the tenant risk, the asset risk, the vacancy risk, and the geographic and economic risk.
The tenant risk is mitigated through policies on A/R and credit risk, with the requirement of guarantees at the contract’s signature or insurance policy, and through a constant and direct contact with the tenant.
The asset risk is mitigated by means of the budget per real property; a 10-year business plan per real property; monitoring the budget implementation; recurrent investment in maintenance and improvement; yearly appraisals; insurance and permanent activity of experts towards deciding the times of entry and exit or the real properties.
The vacancy risk is mitigated by geographic diversification, type of real estate, economic sector, lessee, and maturity. The valuation models incorporate vacancy cycles. It may also be mitigated through insurance, requirement of guarantees from the lessees and strict exist clauses in the lease agreements.
The geographic and economic risk is mitigated by the diversification policy and ongoing monitoring of the real estate market.
The security value reflects the value of the Universalidad and its Financial Statements. The real properties’ value will be adjusted as per the daily consumer price index to avoid punctual variations generated by the appraisal updates. TIN securities’ value is released by the Issuer on a daily basis.
