FAQ
Uniti Group Inc. (Uniti) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) created through the spin-off of certain telecommunications assets from Windstream Holdings, Inc. on April 24, 2015. Uniti, an S&P SmallCap 600 Company headquartered in Little Rock, Ark., is, to our knowledge, the first REIT primarily engaged in the acquisition and leasing of communication distribution systems.
Uniti has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2015. A REIT is a company that derives most of its income from real property or real estate mortgages and has elected to be taxed as a REIT. If a corporation elects to be taxed and qualifies as a REIT, it will generally not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on income that it currently distributes to its shareholders. A company’s qualification as a REIT depends on its ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various complex requirements under the tax code relating to, among other things, the sources of its gross income, the composition and values of its assets, its distribution levels to its shareholders and the concentration of ownership of its capital stock.
Uniti is traded on the NASDAQ exchange, and the ticker is UNIT.
