TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 16, 2015) - Dream Global Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:DRG.UN) (the "Trust") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted a notice filed by the Trust to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a one year period.

The bid will commence on December 18, 2015 and will remain in effect until the earlier of December 17, 2016 or the date on which the Trust has purchased the maximum number of Units permitted under the bid. Daily purchases will be limited to 57,293 Units which equals 25% of the average daily trading volume during the last six calendar months (being 229,175 Units per day), other than purchases pursuant to applicable block purchase exceptions. As of December 1, 2015, the number of issued and outstanding Units is 112,885,381.
