TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust (“Primaris” or the “REIT”) (TSX: PMZ.UN) announced today significant progress on its disposition program that supports its capital recycling objectives, and provided additional commentary on its Hudson’s Bay Company (“HBC”) tenancy.

Disposition

On March 31, 2025, Primaris closed on the sale of St. Albert Centre in St. Albert, Alberta, for $60.0 million to a private real estate operator. The sale price includes a $10 million vendor-take-back loan maturing in one year bearing interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. St. Albert Centre is anchored by a 93,300 square foot HBC.

The REIT also closed on the previously announced sale of Sherwood Park Mall, Sherwood Park Professional Centre, and excess land (“Sherwood Park Mall”), in Sherwood Park, Alberta for $107.0 million to a private retail operator and developer on February 28, 2025.

“These strategic dispositions further demonstrate our track record of executing on our well-defined growth strategy focused on market leading shopping centres in growing Canadian markets,” said Alex Avery, Chief Executive Officer. “Considering property transactions year to date, we have enhanced the appeal of our enclosed shopping centre portfolio, to our retailer tenants and shoppers, driving the portfolio’s annual same store sales productivity from $705 per square foot as at December 31, 2024, to approximately $752 per square foot on a pro forma basis.”

The dispositions were sold at IFRS fair value, with the use of proceeds allocated to future acquisitions, repurchase, and cancellation of units under the REIT’s Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”), and general trust purposes.

Sherwood Park Mall and St. Albert Centre were both unencumbered.

The below table summarizes the REIT’s dispositions year to date:

Property Name		Location		Type		Gross Leasable Area (“GLA”)		In-place Occupancy			Total CRU Sales Volume1 ($’000)			Same Stores Sales Productivity1 ($’000)			Disposition Price (millions)			Closing Date
Sherwood Park Mall		Sherwood Park, AB		Enclosed shopping centre		415,237		94.7	%		$	38,799		$	575		$	107.0		February 28, 2025
St. Albert Centre		St. Albert, AB		Enclosed shopping centre		352,812		97.3	%		$	35,396		$	556		$	60.0		March 31, 2025
						768,049					$	74,195					$	167.0
1 Commercial retail unit (“CRU”) tenants that lease units up to 15,000 square feet and include food court and kiosk tenants. As at or for the year ended December 31, 2024. Supplementary financial measure, see “Use of Operating Metrics” below.

HBC Tenancy Update

As at March 31, 2025, the REIT’s exposure to HBC is as follows:

• 9 HBC locations totaling 1,031,000 square feet of GLA;
• 14th largest tenant by annualized minimum rent;
• Approximately $10.8 million of gross rental revenue, per annum;
• $9.94 weighted average gross rent per occupied square foot;
• Approximately $4.5 million net rental revenue per annum, or 1.4% of total annualized minimum rent;
• $4.33 weighted average net rent per occupied square foot; and
• In addition to the 9 owned HBC locations, the shadow-anchor HBC located at Devonshire Mall in Windsor, Ontario is owned by an unrelated HBC joint venture.

“Primaris REIT has been preparing for the departure of HBC, as its department store peers downsized and ceased operations over the past 15 years, including Zellers, Target and Sears,” said Patrick Sullivan, President and Chief Operating Officer. “The departure of Canada’s final conventional department store will enable future value creation for our stakeholders, paving the way for optimal use of space that better reflects the evolving needs and desires of the growing communities.”

Primaris continues to closely monitor HBC’s Companies Creditor Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) process. As has been publicly reported, all HBC locations in Primaris’ portfolio have commenced liquidation, and are not expected to continue operations beyond June 30, 2025. As a result of declining operating performance, significant deferred capital maintenance, and very limited consumer foot traffic draw, Primaris believes that the departure of HBC’s tenancy will be beneficial to the REIT over the medium term, and sees significant upside in the longer term.

Primaris has updated its longstanding re-tenanting, redevelopment, and repurposing plans in relation to each of the locations with significant analysis and evaluation of alternatives. As a result, Primaris is ready to act, at first opportunity.

Financing Activity

On March 26, 2025, Primaris entered into and borrowed on a $100.0 million bilateral non-revolving term facility maturing January 4, 2028, with a one-year extension at Primaris’ option. The bilateral non-revolving term facility bears interest at variable rates of either: (i) Prime plus 0.25% per annum, or (ii) Adjusted Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average plus 1.25% per annum. The proceeds of the drawdown were used to repay debt on the syndicated revolving term facility and for general trust purposes. Concurrently, Primaris entered into an interest rate swap for $50.0 million at an effective rate of 3.960%. This bilateral non-revolving term facility was arranged by Desjardins Capital Markets.

On March 28, 2025, Primaris repaid $133.1 million aggregate principal of the maturing Series B senior unsecured debentures, which paid a 4.267% interest rate. $100.0 million of this repayment was prefunded by a maturing term deposit which was placed in August 2024 with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of $500 million Series E and F senior unsecured debentures.

Proforma these financings and the disposition of St. Albert Centre, Primaris has full availability on its undrawn $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, and has a cash balance of $35.0 million at March 31, 2025.

Normal Course Issuer Bid Activity

Due to Primaris’ strong differentiated financial model, recent dispositions and the continued deep approximate 30% discount to the REIT’s most recently published Net Asset Value (“NAV**”) per Unit at which Primaris REIT units trade, management continues to allocate significant available funds to buy back units for cancellation under the REIT’s NCIB. In 2025 the REIT has repurchased 1,755,309 units for approximately $26.8 million through March 31, 2025 at an average price of $15.24 per unit. Repurchases under the NCIB in 2025 have already exceeded all repurchases completed in 2024, which totaled 1,534,500 for a total of approximately $23.4 million at an average price per unit of approximately $14.26, representing a discount to NAV** of approximately 34.0%.

Management continues to view repurchasing units under its NCIB as highly attractive and expects to continue to deploy capital for further repurchases for the foreseeable future.

The Ocree platform, built exclusively on the Polymesh blockchain, enables fractional ownership of premium commercial properties through a user-friendly “point and click” interface. Its simplified approach to property fractionalization enables accredited investors to access an asset class traditionally limited to institutional investors and industry professionals. Now, investing in a high quality real estate deal can be as easy as ordering an Uber, or checking out on Amazon.

“Our mission at Ocree is to unlock possibilities in commercial real estate investing by removing traditional barriers to entry while maintaining the highest standards of security, compliance, and transparency,” said Ted Davis, CEO of Ocree Capital Inc. “By building on Polymesh’s institutional-grade public permissioned blockchain, we’ve created a platform that benefits both property owners seeking liquidity and investors looking for access to premium real estate opportunities.”

The platform is now live with its inaugural listing – the $51.9 million commercial property in Winnipeg, Manitoba – with $4 million of equity being offered for investors to purchase fractional ownership through Ocree’s streamlined process. The first listing is 15 Berwick Court, Winnipeg, a professionally managed 156-unit Class “A” multi-residential development, designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable, high-end living, and that is aligned with Ocree’s commitment to providing clients with high-quality assets.

“We’re proud to collaborate with Ocree Capital on this milestone initiative exemplifying how blockchain can bring greater access, transparency, and efficiency to real estate markets,” said Will Vaz-Jones, Head of Partnership Development at the Polymesh Association. “Ocree’s regulatory approach and expertise, combined with Polymesh’s purpose-built blockchain infrastructure, creates a powerful solution for the Canadian market.”

The Ocree platform was developed in collaboration with industry veterans from leading real estate organizations, leveraging decades of commercial real estate expertise to cultivate the best experience for asset owners and real estate investors looking to engage in blockchain-based investments.
