I’ll give you one guess why this is being filed now and it starts with a “G”.
Brookfield Properties (BPO) has files a $1B mix shelf registration this am. In short they aim to raise $1B through either debt, common or preferred shares or any mix of the three.
I am going on record to say this is directly related to the General Growth (GGWPQ) and Brookfield Asset (BAM) talks.
