This press release contains forward-looking information that is based upon assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties as indicated in the cautionary note contained within this press release.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dream Impact Trust (TSX: MPCT.UN) (“Dream Impact” or the “Trust”), announced today that Dream Impact and the beneficial holders of the Trust’s 5.50% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due July 31, 2026 (the “Debentures”) have reached an agreement to extend and amend certain terms of the Debentures. All of the Debentures are beneficially owned by certain controlled affiliates of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (collectively, “Fairfax”).

Dream Impact and Fairfax have agreed to extend the maturity date of the Debentures from July 31, 2026 to July 31, 2031. In addition, the interest rate of the Debentures will change from 5.50% to 6.50% and the conversion price of the Debentures will be adjusted to $2.75 per unit. Under the amended terms of the Debentures, the Trust will have the right at its sole option to satisfy any conversion request in cash in lieu of delivering units of the Trust that would otherwise be issuable on conversion of the Debentures.

“We are extremely pleased to announce the extension of the Debentures as this was a significant debt maturity for the Trust in 2026, and the new cash settlement option on a conversion reduces potential dilution down the road,” said Meaghan Peloso, Chief Financial Officer of Dream Impact. “This is one step among many that we have completed, and we will continue to provide updates as we make progress on advancing our strategic initiatives.”

The amendments to the Debentures will be subject to the approval of a majority of the votes cast at a special meeting of unitholders of the Trust as well as the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and other customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature. Dream Unlimited Corp., which holds 6,852,681 units of the Trust representing 37% of the Trust’s issued and outstanding units, has agreed to vote in favour of the amendments to the Debentures. The special meeting of unitholders of the Trust is expected to be held in the fall of this year.

Further information regarding the amendments to the Debentures will be included in the Trust’s management information circular which will be mailed to unitholders of the Trust. A copy of the agreement relating to the amendments to the Debentures and the management information circular will be available on and under the Trust’s profile on www.sedarplus.ca following their filing by the Trust.

The amendments to the Debentures will also require the consent of holders of not less than 66⅔% of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Debentures. Fairfax has agreed to consent to the amendments to the Debentures. As a result, the Trust anticipates that it will obtain the requisite approval of the Debenture holders.

The amendments to the Debentures are expected to be effective in late 2025 or early 2026, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the amendments.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction.

Management Changes

The Trust is pleased to announce the appointment of Derrick Lau as Chief Financial Officer of the Trust effective September 19, 2025. In his new role, Mr. Lau will oversee all financial aspects of the Trust as it continues to execute on its strategic objectives. Mr. Lau currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Dream Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (“DRR”), spearheading the overall financial management of DRR since its initial public offering in 2022.

Transaction reflects evolution of the QuadReal and Realstar partnership

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–QuadReal Property Group (“QuadReal”), a global real estate investment, development and operating company announced today that it has fully acquired the UNCLE brand in the UK and Europe as well as Realstar’s UK&I residential operating platform, which will be re-named.

The transaction consolidates the operating company under QuadReal. Ryan Prince will remain as CEO for the next 12 months. Following this transition period, he will move to the role of non-executive Chairman. The current team will remain to expand the business.

Established partnership

QuadReal and Realstar launched their first joint venture in 2017, expanded the relationship through asset acquisitions and, in 2021, QuadReal purchased a minority interest in the Realstar UK operating company.

Today, the platform manages nearly 6,000 residential units across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Dublin. A substantial portion of this portfolio operates under the UNCLE brand, which is known for its award-winning design, amenity spaces, and innovative resident services that offer unprecedented flexibility. UNCLE is consistently rated the UK’s top rental brand on platforms such as Trustpilot.

QuadReal will continue to expand its UK and European BTR and student housing portfolio and will leverage the well-established UNCLE brand in these markets.

This transaction does not affect Realstar’s other UK-owned assets outside the joint venture, nor does it have any impact on Realstar’s Canadian or other international activities. Following the transaction, Realstar will continue to pursue new investment opportunities in the UK and Ireland.

Global residential portfolio

Globally, QuadReal has significant experience in the residential sector. Its portfolio includes over 65,000 residential units and 28,000 student beds, predominantly in North America and Australia. In the UK, QuadReal has over 8,500 residential units and 4,500 student beds across 29 communities.

Jonathan Dubois-Phillips, President, International Real Estate at QuadReal said: “This furthers QuadReal’s global residential strategy and positions us well for future growth in both the built-to-rent and student housing markets. We have a solid residential foundation in the UK because of our partnership with Realstar, and QuadReal will continue to deliver value through operational excellence and solid portfolio and asset management.”

Ryan Prince, Vice Chairman of Realstar and founder of UNCLE, said: “I am incredibly proud of the businesses we have built, the brands we founded, and the people I have worked alongside since launching Realstar’s UK operations nearly 25 years ago. Since the establishment of our UK business, we have worked across sectors from GP surgeries to hotels, BTR, student accommodation and co- living. QuadReal’s investment, particularly over the past five years has turbo-charged our growth, and the business is now in its strongest position yet. I look forward working alongside QuadReal on the UK BTR and student fronts while at the same time seeking out new opportunities for Realstar to grow in the UK and Europe.”

DOVER, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–To speed up permit turnaround times and give applicants full transparency into the permitting process, the City of Long Beach, California, has chosen Clariti Enterprise to replace its existing platform. The new Enterprise Land Management (ELM) System will be implemented by Speridian Technologies and used by approximately 500 internal users across multiple city departments.

Long Beach is the second-largest city in Los Angeles County and the seventh most populous in California. In 2024 alone, the city conducted over 3,600 plan checks and issued more than 12,000 permits for retail and commercial projects, totaling $591 million in construction valuation.

“The LB Builds – Enterprise Land Management system represents a transformative step forward for how Long Beach serves its residents, developers and businesses,” said Long Beach Community Development Department Director Christopher Koontz. “[The Clariti system] will dramatically improve the customer experience across all aspects of permitting and licensing.”

With Clariti Enterprise, the city will integrate 26 different applications currently used for development services onto one central platform, which will significantly reduce back-and-forth between customers and staff.

As the single source of truth for key functions such as licensing, permitting, planning, and inspections, the new system will also help the city:

• Accelerate permit turnaround times by eliminating department silos.
• Deliver an exceptional experience for customers by providing an intuitive portal that will allow residents to find information, communicate with staff, and apply, track, and pay for their permit online.
• Automate time-consuming manual tasks like scheduling inspections, assigning reviews, and sending notifications, so staff can focus on high-impact work.
• Attract developers and investors by reducing delays and offering a simpler, faster way to do business with the city.
• Make better, data-informed decisions with Enterprise’s in-depth reporting and powerful analytics.

On the decision to move forward with Clariti, the city highlighted the platform’s scalability and flexibility, as well as Clariti’s strong presence in California, which includes neighboring jurisdictions such as the City of Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Irvine, and Orange County.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with the City of Long Beach to bring them a more connected, flexible community development system,” said Cyrus Symoom, Co-CEO of Clariti. “With Enterprise, Long Beach will be able to meet demand with greater speed and transparency, while continuing to evolve alongside its community.”

“Speridian Technologies is honored to partner with the City of Long Beach to deliver a next-generation permitting experience,” said Speridian Technologies Chief Executive Officer, Ali Hasan. “Our mission is to empower public sector organizations with innovative, scalable solutions that streamline operations, enhance transparency, and improve service delivery for residents and businesses. By implementing a modern enterprise system, Long Beach is setting a new standard for efficiency and customer experience in municipal permitting, and we are proud to support their vision for a more connected and accessible city.”
