/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, July 30, 2021 /CNW/ - Tricon Residential Inc. ("Tricon" or the "Company") (TSX: TCN), an owner and operator of single-family rental homes and multi-family rental apartments in the United States and Canada, announced today that it has issued a notice of redemption to the holders of its 5.75% extendible convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due March 31, 2022 (the "Debentures"), representing a redemption in full of all of the currently outstanding Debentures. The Debentures will be redeemed on September 9, 2021 (the "Redemption Date"), in accordance with their terms, at a total redemption price of US$1,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest of US$25.52 up to but excluding the Redemption Date, both per US$1,000 principal amount. The redemption price has been determined in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Tricon intends to satisfy the redemption price through the issuance of common shares in the capital of Tricon ("Common Shares") at 95% of the U.S. dollar equivalent of the 20-day weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the fifth trading day preceding the Redemption Date, with cash to be paid for the accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures and in lieu any fractional Common Shares that would otherwise be issued.
The Debentures have a conversion price of US$10.46 (C$13.02) per Common Share, which is lower than the current trading price of the Common Shares. Accordingly, at current trading prices, holders of Debentures have an economically advantageous opportunity to convert their Debentures to Common Shares prior to the Redemption Date and may do so in accordance with the terms of the indenture dated March 17, 2017 with respect to the Debentures (the "Indenture"). Registered holders of Debentures that wish to convert must provide written notice of conversion to TSX Trust Company prior to September 8, 2021, being the last business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. Non-registered holders of Debentures that wish to convert should contact their respective brokerage firm or financial institution well in advance of this deadline to ensure sufficient time to comply with internal deadlines for the redemption process.
Non-registered holders (banks, brokerage firms or other financial institutions) that maintain their interests in the Debentures through CDS & Co. ("CDS") should contact their CDS customer service representative with any questions about the redemption or conversion. Alternatively, beneficial holders with any questions about the redemption or conversion should contact their respective brokerage firm or financial institution holding interests in the Debentures through CDS on their behalf and comply with all internal redemption processes they may have.
Notices of redemption are being delivered today to TSX Trust Company, the Debenture trustee and to CDS. For more information, holders of Debentures should refer to the redemption notice delivered to them.
Subject to prior regulatory approval, Tricon intends to have the Debentures de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange following their redemption.

The economic advantage for holders of Debentures to convert to Common Shares is based on the current trading price of Common Shares as of the date hereof. If the conversion price becomes greater than 95% of the U.S. dollar equivalent of the 20-day weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the fifth trading day preceding the Redemption Date, holders of Debentures will no longer have an economic advantage to convert their Debentures prior to the Redemption Date. Tricon does not undertake any obligation to update this news release if these circumstances change.
