Item 5. Other Events
On April 6, 1999, American Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT")
received the necessary consent from its shareholders to approve
proposals (the "Proposals") to restructure AMIT from a closed-ended,
finite-life real estate investment trust ("REIT") to a publicly traded,
open-ended, infinite-life operating REIT.
The Proposals were presented in a definitive proxy statement that
was mailed on February 12, 1999 to shareholders of record on February 5,
1999. In addition to restructuring AMIT to a publicly traded, open-
ended, infinite-life REIT, the Proposals, among other matters, permit
AMIT to modify its investment objectives, to incur a specified amount of
indebtedness and to list AMIT's shares on a national exchange. As
required by AMIT's Declaration of Trust, the Proposals were approved by
Shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to
vote.
AMIT has been approved for listing subject to notice of issuance
on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "AMC". Management
expects that AMIT will begin trading on the American Stock Exchange in
July, 1999, but no assurance can be given regarding the exact timing of
such event.
The benefits and risks associated with the Proposals are further
outlined in the proxy statement that was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 12, 1999, and is hereby incorporated by
reference.
