(the "Underwriters") for gross proceeds of $100,032,000 (the "Offering"). In addition, Dream Global has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days following closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 1,563,000 Units which, if exercised in full, would increase the gross proceeds of the Offering to $115,036,800. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 21, 2017. The Offering is subject to certain customary conditions, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Trust has bid on, and is currently in varying stages of negotiations with vendors on four potential acquisitions of office properties located in its target markets in Europe. The combined expected purchase price of these properties would exceed EUR200 million ($281 million).

The Units will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed on or about March 13, 2017 with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada.
