/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
TORONTO, Oct. 26, 2016 /CNW/ – Starlight U.S. Multi-Family (No. 5) Core Fund (the “Fund“) (TSXV: SUA.A, SUA.U)announced today that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted the Fund’s notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the “Issuer Bid“). Under the Issuer Bid, the Fund will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 2,042,526 of its Class A limited partnership units (the “Class A Units“) and 268,912 of its Class U limited partnership units (the “Class U Units” and together with the Class A Units, the “Units“), representing 10% of the Fund’s public float of the Class A Units and Class U Units, respectively. The Fund may not purchase more than 2% of the issued and outstanding Class A Units or Class U Units during any 30 day period, which as at October 21, 2016 represented 417,231 Class A Units and 54,066 Class U Units, respectively.
The Issuer Bid will commence on November 1, 2016 and remain in effect until the earlier of (i) October 31, 2017 and (ii) the date on which the Fund has purchased the maximum number of Units permitted under the Issuer Bid.
The Fund expects to enter into a repurchase agreement (the “Plan”) with Raymond James Ltd. in order to facilitate repurchases of the Units under the Issuer Bid. Purchases under the Plan would be made by the Fund’s broker based on the parameters prescribed by the TSX Venture Exchange, applicable Canadian securities laws and the terms of the parties’ written agreement. The Plan is intended for the purchase of Units only under the Issuer Bid. In addition, under the Plan, the Fund’s broker may automatically purchase Units under the Issuer Bid when the Fund would ordinarily not be permitted to do so.
The Fund has implemented the Issuer Bid because it believes that Units may become available during the period of the Issuer Bid at prices that would make the purchase of such Units for cancellation in the best interests of the Fund and its Unitholders.
