UC Asset Filed for Public Offering of 8% Dividend Preferred Units

ATLANTA, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- UC Asset LP (OTCQB: UCASU) announced today that the company filed Form 1A last Thursday for a secondary public offering (SPO) through Reg A Tier II registration, with the intention of issuing up to $10 million preferred shares which will carry an 8% per annum preferred dividend. The filing is subject to SEC review, and the company will not offer any securities until the SEC qualifies its filing.

Investing in Cannabis Property

The majority of the capital raised will be used to expand its portfolio of cannabis property.

"We believe the legal cannabis industry has reached its rock bottom after four years of market consolidation, and we may see the second wave of growth for the cannabis industry starting soon," projected Larry Wu, founder of UC Asset.

According to Wu, the first wave of the cannabis industry started in 2012 and peaked in 2021, during which time stock prices of certain cannabis property companies soared 1400% in four years. But some cannabis property stocks have lost over 95% of their value since 2021, leading to huge losses for investors. Since then, many cannabis property owners have attempted to liquidate their portfolios, resulting in a continuous decrease in the value of cannabis properties.

"However, there has never been an industry that reached its maturity after only one wave of growth," claimed Wu. "It is not unusual for certain industries to experience 3 to 5 waves of fast growth before market saturation. The cannabis industry is far from realizing its full potential, in our opinion. As Warren Buffett once said, we ought to be greedy now, when others are fearful."

Hedging Strategy

Despite the company's confidence that a second wave of fast growth is happening soon, based on its analysis of industrial and macro-economic data, as well as policy trends, Wu cautioned that they could be wrong, and their strategy might lead to losses for investors.

"To hedge against potential loss, we will only invest in cannabis properties that can potentially be converted into non-cannabis properties and may still retain their value," said Wu.

For example, recently the company has entered into LOIs to acquire certain cannabis properties, of which the unit price, according to Wu, will be lower than average warehouses in the same area. "If the cannabis industry does not enter into another stage of fast growth, we may convert these properties into warehouses and may still make a profit," asserted Wu.

The preferred shares offered by the company, therefore, will be imbued with a hedging strategy: It will distribute an 8% per annum preferred dividend if the company's cannabis property portfolio does well. At this moment, an 8% dividend will be significantly higher than the average total return of REITs, which is about 4.9% for 2024.

If the cannabis industry experiences faster-than-expected growth, preferred unit shareholders will be able to convert their preferred shares into common shares at net book value, which will potentially give investors a big upside.

On the other hand, if the cannabis industry stumbles, and the company's cannabis property portfolio does not perform, it may trigger a redemption term and allow the preferred unit shareholders to redeem their shares at face value.
