    Freo,

    I'm no expert on the matter, but I seem to remember hearing that Trusts are bound by certain regulations regarding dividend payments that aren't applicable to companies listed under a normal company structure. That is , they need to continue distributions to at least a set level and if they drop below that level there are punitive tax rates applicable. In other words they are hamstrung in continuing dividend payments because of their Trust status whereas a company status would allow suspension of dividends.

    Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could elaborate on this.
