QUÉBEC CITY, May 4, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Cominar Real Estate Investment Trust ("Cominar") (TSX: CUF.UN) announced today that it has closed the previously-announced offering of its 5.95% Series 12 senior unsecured debentures in the principal amount of $150 million (the "Debentures"). The Debentures were offered at a price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, bear interest at a rate equal to 5.95% payable semi-annually in arrears, and will mature on May 5, 2025.

The Debentures were sold by way of private placement in Canada pursuant to an agency agreement with National Bank Financial Markets  and BMO Capital Markets, as co-lead agents, along with a syndicate that also includes CIBC World Markets, TD Securities, Desjardins Securities and Scotia Capital, for total net proceeds to Cominar of approximately $148.5 million after deducting the agents' fee for the offering.

Cominar intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of approximately $148.5 million together with available liquidities for the full repayment of the $300 million aggregate principal amount of Series 4 senior unsecured debentures due July 27, 2020.

The Debentures have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and accordingly will not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States, its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction or to, or for the account or for the benefit of, a U.S. person, except pursuant to applicable exemptions from the registration requirements.
