TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 17, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OVER UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE

Calloway REIT (TSX:CWT.UN) announced today it has amended the terms of its previously announced offering of Series G senior unsecured debentures (the "Debentures") to increase the size of the offering from $75 million principal amount of Debentures to $90 million principal amount of Debentures. Closing of this issue is expected to be on or about August 22, 2011.

The Debentures are being sold on a bought deal basis by a syndicate of dealers co-led by CIBC and RBC Capital Markets. The Debentures will carry a coupon rate of 4.70% and will mature on August 22, 2018.

Calloway intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to in part complete the acquisition of three Walmart anchored Supercentres located in Ontario and for general trust purposes. Dominion Bond Rating Service has provided Calloway with a provisional credit rating of BBB with a stable trend relating to the debentures.

This offering is being made by way of a Prospectus Supplement to Calloway's existing $2 billion base shelf short form prospectus filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The terms of the offering will be described in a prospectus supplement to be filed with Canadian securities regulators.

Calloway is one of Canada's largest real estate investment trusts with an enterprise value of $5.6 billion as at June 30, 2011. It owns and manages 24 million square feet in 113 value-oriented retail centres having the strongest national and regional retailers, as well as strong neighbourhood merchants. Walmart will continue to be the dominant anchor tenant in the portfolio, and we expect their presence will continue to attract other retailers and consumers. Calloway's vision is to provide a value-oriented shopping experience to Canadian consumers.
