NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TSXV:PT and PT.U - Pine Trail Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") announced today that it has declared a distribution of $0.00048 per trust unit (TSXV:PT) for the abridged 24-day period November 6 to November 30, 2018 (the “Distribution”). The Distribution will be paid on December 17, 2018 to unitholders of record as at November 30, 2018. The 24-day period covered by this Distribution commenced immediately following the completion of the REIT’s Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) on November 6, 2018 and concluded at month-end. As a result, the Distribution amount has been pro-rated accordingly.
The REIT is also announcing the implementation of a distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), which allows holders of trust units of the REIT (“Units”) the opportunity to acquire additional Units at a 3% discount to the weighted average closing price of the Units for the last five trading days preceding the applicable distribution payment date on which trades of the Units were recorded. The TSX Venture Exchange has initially approved the issuance of a total of 3,438,430 Units pursuant to the DRIP, which represents 10% of the total issued and outstanding Units, the maximum permissible by the TSX Venture Exchange. The REIT will determine for each distribution payment date the amount of new equity, if any, that will be made available under the DRIP on that date. No assurances can be made that new Units will be made available under the DRIP on a regular basis, or at all. The DRIP can provide an efficient and cost-effective way for the REIT to issue additional equity to existing unitholders. The current participation rate of unitholders, including insiders of the REIT, in the DRIP is not currently known to the REIT. Holders of the Trust will be asked to approve the adoption of the DRIP at the annual meeting of the Trust.
