Allied Properties REIT Announces $200 Million Offering of 3.636% Series C Senior Unsecured Debentures

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 18, 2017) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Allied Properties REIT (TSX:AP.UN) ("Allied") announced today that it has agreed to issue $200 million aggregate principal amount of series C senior unsecured debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 3.636% per annum and will mature on April 21, 2025. The Debentures are being offered on an agency basis by a syndicate of agents co-led by BMO Capital Markets and Scotia Capital Inc. The offering is expected to close on or about April 21, 2017. DBRS Limited has provided Allied with a provisional credit rating of "BBB" (low) with a "Stable" trend relating to the Debentures.

"This reflects our ongoing commitment to the balance sheet and to our unsecured debenture program," said Cecilia Williams, Vice President & CFO. "The eight-year tenor represents progression in attaining longer term financing and fits well into our current debt-maturity schedule."

Allied intends to use the net proceeds from the offering: (a) to repay amounts drawn on Allied's unsecured revolving operating facility used for general capital funding related to Allied's capital improvements, acquisitions and intensification projects; and (b) for general working capital purposes.

The offering is being made pursuant to Allied's base shelf prospectus dated December 15, 2016. The terms of the offering will be described in a prospectus supplement to be filed with Canadian securities regulators.
