Northview Apartment REIT Completes Previously Announced Offering of Trust Units With Full Exercise of Over-Allotment Option

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

CALGARY, Alberta, June 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northview Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (“Northview”) (TSX:NVU.UN) today announced it has closed its previously announced public offering, on a bought deal basis, of trust units (“Units”) with a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”) co-led by CIBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank (the “Equity Offering”).

An aggregate of 4,830,000 Units were issued by Northview at a price of $26.20 per Unit, including 630,000 Units issued on the full exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, for aggregate gross proceeds of $126.5 million.

Northview intends to use the net proceeds from the Equity Offering to fund a portion of a 623 unit portfolio acquisition (the “Acquisition”) with a purchase price of $151.8 million (excluding closing costs) and to repay a portion of its credit facilities. These credit facilities were previously used to internally fund growth. Northview’s increased borrowing capacity will support current and future developments, value creation initiatives, acquisitions and working capital requirements.

The first cash distribution which purchasers of Trust Units under the Equity Offering will be entitled to receive will be for the month of June 2018, with an expected record date of June 29, 2018 and an expected payment date of July 16, 2018. Northview’s current monthly cash distribution is $0.1358 per Trust Unit.

CAUTIONARY AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This media release contains forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements relating to the intended use of proceeds of the Equity Offering and the payment of Northview’s June 2018 cash distributions. These statements are not guarantees of future events, performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether, or the times at which, such events, performance or results will be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made, underlying estimates and assumptions made by management and management's good faith belief with respect to future events, performance and results, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, which could cause actual results to differ materially from what is currently expected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks related to: the failure to complete the Acquisition; real property ownership; availability of cash flow and mortgage financing; demand for rental accommodation and commercial space; natural resource prices; development and construction risks; reliance on key personnel; concentration of tenants; capital requirements; interest rate risk; credit risk; liquidity risk; general uninsured losses; government regulation; environmental risk; utility costs; potential conflicts of interest; integration of acquired properties; income tax related risk factors; and other risk factors more particularly described in Northview’s most recent Annual Information Form and MD&A, both of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Northview or that Northview currently believes to be less significant may also adversely affect Northview.

Readers are cautioned that the above list of factors is not exhaustive and that should certain risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying estimates or assumptions prove incorrect, actual events, performance and results may vary significantly from those expected. There can be no assurance that the actual results, performance, events or activities anticipated by Northview will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effect on, Northview. Readers, therefore, should not place undue importance on forward-looking information. Further, these forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this media release. Northview disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities laws.
