Timbercreek Real Estate Investment Trust Unitholders Approve Sale of All
Outstanding Units of the Fund
TORONTO, Aug. 18 /CNW/ - Timbercreek Real Estate Investment Trust ("the Fund") announced that unitholders approved an arrangement agreement to purchase all of the outstanding units of the Fund at the Annual and Special Meeting held earlier today. Unitholders who are not "Interested Unitholders" representing approximately 3.58 million units, or 95% of units voted at the meeting, voted in favour of the special resolution.
The units will be acquired by means of a Plan of Arrangement by the Restier Limited Partnership in exchange for an aggregate net cash payment of $182,715,328.65. This is equivalent to a gross price of $14.45 per unit, and represents an approximate 15 percent premium over the Net Asset Value of the Units on March 31, 2010, the last quarter end before the announcement of the acquisition proposal.
"We are pleased to have been able to deliver this significant value to unitholders," said Blair Tamblyn, CEO of the Fund. "This acquisition validates our strategy of investing in multi-family residential real estate for its ability to deliver stable and reliable cash distributions as well as capital appreciation."
The transaction is expected to close on or about August 24, 2010. In order for unitholders to receive payment for their units, they should complete and return the Letter of Transmittal included in their meeting package. Unitholders can request an additional copy by calling 416-306-9967 x250 or by emailing [email protected].
