NEW YORK, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. (NYSE: RQI) (the "Fund") today announced the results of its transferable rights offering (the "Offer"), which commenced on June 18, 2026 and expired on July 15, 2026 (the "Expiration Date"). The Offer was led by UBS Investment Bank as the sole dealer manager.
The Offer is expected to result in the issuance of approximately 12,642,989 shares of the Fund's common stock (the "common shares") (including notices of guaranteed delivery), resulting in anticipated gross proceeds to the Fund of approximately $154 million, or $220 million after adding anticipated leverage to the gross proceeds raised. The Fund will receive the entire proceeds of the Offer since Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor"), the Fund's investment adviser, has agreed to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the Offer.
The subscription price of $12.15 per common share was determined based upon the formula equal to the higher of 92.5% of the average of the last reported sales price of a common share on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the Expiration Date and each of the four preceding trading days on the NYSE or 90% of the average of the Fund's net asset value per common share at the close of trading on the NYSE on the Expiration Date and each of the four preceding trading days (the "Subscription Price"). Common shares will be issued promptly after completion and receipt of all stockholder payments.
Joseph Harvey, Chief Executive Officer of Cohen & Steers, said:
"With the continued support of our investors, we are supplying RQI with proceeds to further capitalize on the compelling investment opportunities emerging across both listed and private real estate. I am grateful for all the investors who continue to place their trust in Cohen & Steers."
Mathew Kirschner, Portfolio Manager, U.S. Real Estate, said:
"We believe that real estate is in the early stages of a new cycle. In addition, structural tailwinds including a retail renaissance, AI-driven digital transformation, and changing demographics including an aging population, are converging with limited supply to create compelling investment opportunities across real estate. With the support of our investors, this rights offering enables RQI to invest fresh capital at what we believe are attractive valuations into these opportunities."

Risks of Investing in Real Estate Securities
The risks of investing in real estate securities are similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate, including falling property values due to increasing vacancies; declining rents resulting from economic, legal, political or technological developments; lack of liquidity; lack of availability of financing; limited diversification, sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest rate changes and market recessions and changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market. No representation or warranty is made as to the efficacy of any particular strategy or fund or the actual returns that may be achieved.
Risks of Investing in Closed-End Funds
Shares of many closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their asset value. Funds are subject to stock market risk, which is the risk that stock prices overall will decline over short or long periods, adversely affecting the value of an investment in a fund.
