/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR DISTRIBUTION THROUGH UNITED STATES NEWS OR WIRE SERVICES./

MONTRÉAL, Nov. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - PRO Real Estate Investment Trust ("PROREIT" or the "REIT") (TSXV: PRV.UN) announced today that the offering price of the units of the REIT ("Units") proposed to be offered to the public pursuant to a preliminary prospectus of the REIT dated October 22, 2013 (the "Prospectus") is anticipated to be $2.40 per unit (the "Offering Price"), for a total proposed offering of $11.1 million (approximately $12.8 million if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) (the "Offering"). Including the issuance of $5.8 million of Class B LP Units (as defined below) to the vendors of certain properties as described below, a total of $16.9 million (approximately $18.6 million if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) of new equity would be issued in connection with the Offering and the closing of the acquisitions described in the Prospectus (the "Acquisitions").

Vendors of certain properties that are proposed to be acquired by the REIT, as described in the Prospectus, have agreed to accept a minimum of $5.8 million of Class B limited partnership units of PRO REIT Limited Partnership ("Class B LP Units") as partial consideration for the sale of such properties, all at a price per Class B LP Unit equal to the Offering Price. Immediately following the closing of the Offering and the Acquisitions, it is expected that members of management, the board of trustees, and certain vendors will hold a 30.7% equity interest in the REIT. The Class B LP Units will be issued on a private placement basis, which is subject to regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Subject to the closing of the Offering, it is currently anticipated that the payout ratio of the REIT will be 92.9% of the REIT's adjusted funds from operations and that the monthly cash distributions will represent an annualized distribution yield of 8.75% based on the Offering Price. It is anticipated that the first distribution will be for the period from closing of the Offering to December 31, 2013 and will be paid on or about January 15, 2014 to unitholders of record on December 31, 2013 and will be in the amount of $0.0198 per Unit, assuming a closing of the Offering on November 26, 2013. The REIT does not currently make distributions on the Units.

The REIT intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the Acquisitions, to repay certain of its indebtedness under an operating facility, and for general trust and working capital purposes.

The Offering is being made on an underwritten basis through a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and including TD Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., GMP Securities L.P., and Dundee Securities Ltd.

The Offering is expected to close in the week of November 25, 2013 and is subject to usual closing conditions. For more information on the Offering and the proposed acquisitions, please see the REIT's preliminary short form prospectus, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
