TORONTO, April 5, 2017 /CNW/ - H&R Real Estate Investment Trust ("H&R REIT" or "H&R") (TSX: HR.UN; HR.DB.D; and HR.DB.H) is pleased to announce that as a result of strong investor demand for its previously announced offering it has agreed to increase the size of the offering to $150 million principal amount of Series N Senior unsecured debentures, which will be offered to the public on a bought deal basis. The offering is a re-opening of this series of debentures, the original issuance of which was completed in January 2017. These debentures will carry a coupon rate of 3.369% and will mature on January 30, 2024. The additional debentures were sold at a price of $100.532 per $100 principal amount plus accrued interest, with an effective yield of 3.279% if held to maturity. An aggregate of $350 million of such debentures will be outstanding after giving effect to the offering. The offering is being underwritten through a syndicate co-led and bookrun by TD Securities, BMO Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank. The offering is expected to close on or about April 13, 2017. It is a condition of closing that a final rating by DBRS of BBB (high) be obtained.

The net proceeds from the offering of the Series N Debentures will be utilized by H&R REIT to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general trust purposes.

The offering of the Series N Debentures is being made under H&R REIT's existing short form base shelf prospectus dated April 30, 2015. The terms of the offering of the Series N Debentures will be described in a prospectus supplement to be filed with Canadian securities regulators.
