Press Release

CAPREIT Announces Increase to Previously Announced Bought Deal Equity Offering to $425 Million

Company Release - 11/19/2019 9:19 AM ET

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES/

TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2019 /CNW/ - (TSX:CAR.UN) – Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust ("CAPREIT" or the "REIT") announced today that due to strong demand, the size of the previously announced equity offering in connection with which it entered into an agreement to sell to a syndicate of underwriters led by RBC Capital Markets has increased, on a bought deal basis, to 7,930,000 units at a price of $53.60 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $425 million (the "Offering").  CAPREIT has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part up to 30 days after closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 1,189,500 units to cover over-allotments, if any.  If the Over-Allotment is exercised in full, the gross proceeds would increase to approximately $489 million.

CAPREIT will, within the next few days, file with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, a preliminary short form prospectus relating to the issuance of the units. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about December 6, 2019.

CAPREIT intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering: 

i.

to finance the REIT's acquisition of approximately $194 million of unencumbered multi-residential properties;



ii.

to repay approximately $127 million of the REIT's acquisition and operating facility, which was used to fund $88 million of recently closed unencumbered acquisitions and the acquisition of $39 million of Irish Residential REIT shares;



iii.

to finance approximately $14 million to exercise existing operating lease buyouts, converting two Toronto properties to traditional fee simple property interests; and



iv.

the remainder, if any, to finance future acquisitions in CAPREIT's robust pipeline, to fund intensification opportunities within CAPREIT's existing portfolio, for revenue-enhancing capital expenditures, and for general trust purposes.

 

The above use of proceeds are described in more detail in CAPREIT's press release dated November 18, 2019.

CAPREIT intends to make monthly cash distributions to unitholders of record on each record date, on or about the 15th day of the month following the record date. CAPREIT's current monthly cash distribution is $0.1150 per unit ($1.38 annually). The first cash distribution to which purchasers of the units under this Offering will be entitled to participate will be for the month of December, with a record date of December 31, 2019 and a payment date of January 15, 2020.

The securities being offered have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or pursuant to applicable exemption from registration.
