Invesque Continues Executing on Strategy of Simplifying the Portfolio by Selling Non-Core Assets via Sale of its Calamar Portfolio and the Majority of its Medical Office Portfolio

TORONTO, July 28, 2022 /CNW/ - Invesque Inc. (TSX: IVQ.U) and (TSX: IVQ) (the "Company" or "Invesque") today announced the sale of US$113 million of non-core assets. Inclusive of previously announced dispositions, the Company has sold US$292 million of assets over the last twelve months.

On June 15, 2022, Invesque closed on the sale of its interests in two 55+ communities in Wheatfield, New York.

• The communities were acquired in 2018 as part of the acquisition of Care Investment Trust and were managed by Calamar under a joint venture structure.
• The implied pricing from the sale transaction was very favorable with an implied price per unit of US$145 thousand and an implied cap rate of 5.7% on trailing NOI.
• The two Calamar communities operate as age restricted apartment complexes and feature substantially less resident and health care services than traditional seniors housing owned by Invesque.
• The Company received net cash proceeds of US$10.0 million at closing and plans to utilize proceeds to continue de-levering and simplifying its balance sheet.

On July 26, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of the University Boulevard medical office building in Orlando, Florida for US$9.85 million.

• This stand-alone transaction was consummated with the operator of the surgery center that is the largest tenant at the property.
• The sale price reflected the high quality of the underlying real estate equal to nearly US$300 per rentable square foot and a cap rate of 7.2% on trailing NOI.

On July 28, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of nine medical office buildings in Canada for CA$94.3 million.

• The purchaser, Appelt Properties, an owner, developer, and manager of medical office buildings along with multifamily and retail properties, was uniquely positioned to acquire the portfolio based on its operating complexities and geographic diversity.
• The pricing for the nine properties was equal to CA$265 per rentable square foot and represented a 5.0% cap rate on trailing NOI.

"We have been very active over the past year executing on our strategy to simplify our story, simplify our portfolio, and simplify our balance sheet," remarked Scott White, Chairman and CEO of the Company. "The recently closed transactions allow us to continue de-levering and simplifying the balance sheet and further positions the Invesque portfolio toward being predominantly private pay seniors housing. The sale of the majority of our medical office portfolio represents a simplification of our portfolio, which will allow our team to focus on value creation in our remaining private pay seniors housing communities."

Following the completion of these transactions, the Company's portfolio consists of 83 properties with approximately 5,700 units, 7,800 beds, and 190,000 square feet of medical office buildings across 18 states and one Canadian province.

BMO Capital Markets acted as financial advisor to Invesque in connection with the sale of the Canadian medical office properties.
