Is the Master Lessee the REIT (which is bad) or the Sponsor (which is good, provided that there is no indemnification by the REIT to the Sponsor for this).

This stock is literally at 10% yield, based on their projections. And the portfolio is of such a high quality. Quite strange to see it trading at this price for so long. The Queen Mary is revenue generating too - not a cumbersome, useless asset. Those pricing this in are throwing the baby out with the bath water. Only question to me is how they will raise funds for their next leg of growth. But low interest rate environment should provide some relief for them. 
Gentle Reminder of article takeaway
 
 
" The    Sponsor is responsible for the capital budget and major capital improvements ....
....even if the repair costs turn out to be massive,    the REIT is not on the hook for the costs."

" The sponsor will own 18.3% of the stapled security with a lock-up agreement 12 months after the listing date" .
18.3% - Which is quite a small ownership.

" There was a  lot of smoke surrounding the Queen Mary  and I wanted to know  what was relevant and what was noise. 
The main issue that needed clarity on was who&rsquo s responsible for the Queen Mary&rsquo s repairs &ndash the REIT or the Sponsor.
On re-review of the prospectus, this part ended up being  rather clear cut as it can be directly referenced from the prospectus  amid a wall of text.
This is kind of implied from the fact that the lease on the Queen Mary was on a triple-net basis. However, for the avoidance of doubt, it was  actually spelt out in a line at the top of Page 377  of the Prospectus.

The Queen Mary is a horrible drag on Eagle. Smart
of sponsor to offload. If they dump the QM, Eagle
May soar. Until then - it will always be the Elephant squatting over Eagle. Taking it out for a massive overhaul will hit both the revenues and incur debt and equity fundraising.
Vested long.

" It is also seeking views on whether it is appropriate for a Reit that has  demonstrated good financial discipline, such as having a higher ICR threshold, to be allowed a higher leverage, say 55 per cent. "

The History of The Queen Mary
The RMS Queen Mary is a retired British ocean liner that sailed from 1936 to 1967 under the Cunard-White Star Line banner when it entered service. Cunard-White Star formed as an operating company to control the joint shipping assets of both Cunard Lines and White Star Lines when both companies experienced financial difficulties during the Great Depression. You will remember White Star Lines as being the owner and operator of the infamous RMS Titanic and that of HMHS Britannic.
The Queen Mary was the flagship of the Cunard Line from May 1936 until October 1946 when she was replaced by The Queen Elizabeth. She was officially retired from service in 1967 and made its last voyage to Long Beach, California, United States, where it now remains permanently moored. Its two engine rooms, three of the four propellers, and all of the boilers have been removed. The ship is now deemed as a building as it is permanently immovable. Currently the ship serves as a tourist attraction featuring restaurants, a museum and a hotel with 347 rooms.
In April 2016, UC assumed a 66-year master lease of The Queen Mary at an estimated cost of US$143m. UC spent US$23.5mil on repurposing of unutilised spaces and structural works on The Queen Mary and this was finally completed in December 2018. According to the valuation in Eagle&rsquo s IPO prospectus, The Queen Mary has been valued at US$159.4mil and has an occupancy rate of 69.8% as of FY2018.
UC originally revealed a US$250mil plan in early-2016 to redevelop the adjacent 45 acres of parking with a boutique hotel, restaurants, a marina, an amphitheater, jogging trails, bike paths and possibly a huge Ferris wheel. However, it seems like these plans are on-hold as we are not able to find any progress on them. Here are some of the links found online with regards to UC&rsquo s original plans for The Queen Mary:
- Queen Mary operator seeks to raise millions in public offering on Singapore Stock Exchange
- A new plan has emerged to save Long Beach&rsquo s Queen Mary and it won&rsquo t come cheap
- First look at Queen Mary Island, the proposed $250M attraction at Long Beach&rsquo s troubled ship
- Huge Entertainment District to Surround Queen Mary in Long Beach
- Plans revealed for $250-million Queen Mary Island complex next to the historic ship in Long Beach
During the time that UC reveal their plans, a 396-page marine survey of the ship surfaced and specifies that &ldquo urgent&rdquo repair work is needed an will cost as much as £ 235 million. The summary of these marine survey can be found in the article entitled  Years of neglect could imperil the Queen Mary&rsquo s future, experts say  and  Queen Mary: Mayday for a Scottish monument. I quote some of the excerpts from the 2 articles above:
- One veteran naval architect has told Scotland on Sunday that the ship&rsquo s condition is so perilous that she could sink if attempts were made to tow her
- After years of neglect, the historic vessel could face some internal structural collapse within the next decade unless major action is taken soon
- The ship&rsquo s hull is corroded so severely from the inside that certain areas, including the ship&rsquo s engine room, could be prone to flooding
- &ldquo poorly planned&rdquo and &ldquo poorly executed&rdquo conversion has exacerbated corrosion in the ship&rsquo s underbelly and jeopardized its structural integrity
The point on the 396-page marine survey of the ship has not specifically mentioned in the IPO prospectus, but the prospectus specifically singles out The Queen Mary as an asset that is subjected to damages due to wear and tear.
The Queen Mary is on a triple-net-lease basis and therefore tenants are responsible for the maintenance, property tax and insurance of the asset. However, structural works and capital expenditure is still the liability of the owners.
