OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Feb. 24, 2017) –

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:IIP.UN) (“InterRent” or the “REIT”) announced today that due to strong demand, the REIT has increased the size of its previously announced public offering to 9,770,000 trust units (the “Trust Units”) at a price of $7.68 per Trust Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $75 million (the “Offering”). The Offering was led by BMO Capital Markets, and including, Canaccord Genuity Corp., Desjardins Securities Inc., GMP Securities L.P., Scotiabank, TD Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc., RBC Capital Markets, Industrial Alliance, National Bank Financial Inc., Raymond James Ltd., Echelon Partners, Inc., and Eight Capital (together the “Underwriters”).

InterRent has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 655,000 Trust Units ($5,030,400), such option being exercisable in whole or in part at any time prior to 30 days after the closing of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used in part to pay down corporate debt including the debt incurred with the anticipated closing of the Montreal acquisition in early March, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about March 15, 2017 (the “Closing Date”) and is subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Trust Units will be offered in all provinces and territories of Canada by way of a short form prospectus.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Montreal Acquisition

The REIT announced on February 21, 2017 that it has entered into an unconditional agreement to purchase a property in Montreal comprised of 224 suites that is scheduled to close in early March. The property, located at 1111 and 1121 Mistral, consists of two six-stories concrete mid-rises with a total of 196 1-bedroom and 28 2-bedroom suites and is in close proximity to Highway 40, the Jarry metro station, as well as numerous schools, stores, parks and amenities. The purchase price of the $24 million, or $107,143 per suite, represents a going-in cap rate of 5.3% and will be financed at approximately 70% though a CMHC insured mortgage.

“We are very pleased to announce this acquisition as it increases our presence in Montreal, which is one of our three focus markets. We believe the lack of purpose-built concrete rental buildings in the Villeray neighbourhood and when combined with the various resident amenities, including, elevators, an outdoor pool, outdoor terrace, and fitness centres makes this property one of the dominate offerings in the area,” said Mike McGahan, CEO.
