Group 2: Reasons for Withdrawals - The withdrawals are attributed to two main factors: a cooling secondary market leading to decreased investor appetite and challenges in the operational quality of underlying assets [6][7]. - Specific concerns raised by regulatory bodies include rental stability, cash flow predictions, and compliance issues, which have led to prolonged periods of silence from project sponsors before the eventual withdrawal [5][6]. - The market environment has created significant pricing pressure on new issuances, with risks of underpricing and substantial asset impairment for original rights holders [6][7].
