Edgefront REIT Completes $12.1 Million of Property Acquisitions

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Dec. 17, 2015) – Edgefront Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) (TSX VETNURE:ED.UN) has completed its previously announced acquisition of two industrial properties located in Prince George, British Columbia and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.1 million. Such purchase price was satisfied by the issuance to the vendors of approximately $5.3 million of units at a premium-to-market issue price of $1.90 per unit and approximately $6.8 million in cash funded from cash on hand and proceeds of new mortgage financings on the properties.

“2015 has been a busy and productive year for Edgefront. We closed on 5 industrial properties worth approximately $50 million and were uniquely and consistently successful in having vendors take back $19.6 million of our equity as payment of the purchase prices. We materially increased our asset value to $161.2 million, and raised more money through equity vendor take backs than in our 2014 prospectus offering.” stated Kelly Hanczyk, the REIT’s Chief Executive Officer. “These are significant achievements for us and we succeeded without having to tap the capital markets. We have proven that we can grow our business regardless of market conditions and we look forward to accelerating our pace of growth in 2016.”
