Milestone Apartments REIT Completes Going Private Transaction with Starwood Capital Group

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO and DALLAS, April 28, 2017 /CNW/ - Milestone Apartments Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: MST.UN) ("Milestone" or the "REIT") today announced the closing (the "Closing") of the previously announced going private transaction whereby an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group ("Starwood") acquired all of Milestone's subsidiaries and assets (the "Transaction"), all outstanding trust units of the REIT (the "Units") were redeemed in accordance with certain amendments to Milestone's Declaration of Trust and the REIT was wound up and terminated.

In connection with the Closing, Milestone unitholders ("Unitholders") can expect to receive on or about May 3, 2017 a final liquidating distribution of US$16.30041 per Unit (the "Consideration"), which includes an amount equal to the amount that would otherwise have been paid as the REIT's April distribution.

With the completion of the Transaction, the Units ceased trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), and Milestone has received confirmation that the Units will be delisted from the TSX at close of business today. Milestone will also cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.

For more information on the Transaction, please see the news releases issued by the REIT on January 19, 2017, March 22, 2017, March 28, 2017 and April 19, 2017 along with the REIT's management information circular prepared in connection with the Transaction, all of which are available on SEDAR.
