CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund (NYSE: IGR) Announces Terms of Rights Offering

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund (NYSE: IGR) (the “Fund”) today announced that it has approved the terms of the issuance of transferable rights (“Rights”) to the holders of the Fund’s common shares (par value $0.001 per share) (“Common Shares”), as of the record date, March 9, 2023 (the “Record Date”), to subscribe for additional Common Shares at a discount to market price (the “Offer”).

After considering a number of factors, including potential benefits and costs, the Board and the Fund’s investment advisor, CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC (the “Advisor”), have determined that it is in the best interests of both the Fund and its shareholders to conduct the rights offering so that, with increased assets, the Fund will be well positioned to seek to take advantage of existing and future investment opportunities in the global real estate markets that the Advisor considers to be consistent with the Fund’s primary investment objective of high current income and secondary investment objective of capital appreciation.

The Advisor believes this is an attractive time to raise additional assets for the Fund based on several factors, including, but not limited to, the following potential benefits:

Attractive valuations: the Advisor’s belief that many global real estate securities currently are trading at historically attractive valuations

Growth potential: anticipated significant opportunities for investment in real estate sectors aligned with long-term secular themes driving above average growth potential

Total return: potential enhancement of the Fund’s distribution and/or net asset value (NAV) appreciation

Lower Fund expenses: anticipated positive impact to the Fund’s total expense ratio by spreading fixed costs over a larger asset base

Tax-efficiency: potential reduction in the need to sell existing portfolio positions, which may reduce taxable events for shareholders

“Global real estate stocks are attractively valued today; we have not seen valuation levels like this since the global financial crisis in 2008-2009 and the initial COVID drawdown in March 2020. Our team’s analysis of historical market environments suggests that today’s market conditions are favorable for global real estate stock investment,” said Joseph Smith, Chief Investment Officer of CBRE Investment Management Strategies and a Portfolio Manager of the Fund.

Holders of Common Shares as of the Record Date will be entitled to participate in the Offer, which will include an over-subscription privilege. Additional information on the Offer is set forth in a Prospectus Supplement dated February 27, 2023, which supplements the Fund’s currently effective shelf offering Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, which together list the Fund’s strategies and risks.

The Fund declared a regular monthly distribution payable on February 28, 2023, and anticipates declaring a regular monthly distribution payable on March 31, 2023, with respective record dates of February 21, 2023 and March 20, 2023, which will not be payable with respect to Shares that are issued pursuant to the Offer as such issuance will occur after the distribution record dates. Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be entitled to receive the monthly distribution expected to be payable in April.

Certain key terms of the Offer include:
