What happened
CIBC Capital Markets issued a fairness opinion regarding a founder-backed takeover bid for H&R Real Estate Investment Trust.

Passive H&R owners are expected to rely on recommendations from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., which are anticipated in the next two weeks.

Why it matters
The recommendations from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. could influence the outcome of the takeover vote, as passive H&R owners control 13 percent of the REIT’s units. CIBC Capital Markets and National Bank Financial have stated that the transaction is fair to H&R unitholders.
