Partners Announces $13.7 Million Mortgage at Ontario Property

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 30, 2016) - Partners Real Estate Investment Trust ("Partners" or the "REIT") (TSX:PAR.UN) is pleased to announce that it has finalized a $13.7 million mortgage at the REIT's Wellington Southdale property in London, Ontario.

This new mortgage is with the Manulife Financial and is effective today. The mortgage has a five-year term and an interest rate of 2.94%. Partners will devote $9.8 million of the mortgage towards repayment of the property's two existing mortgages, which carried an average interest rate of 5.71%. Remaining net proceeds of $3.9 million, prior to financing costs will be deployed towards Partners' Credit Facility, thereby improving the REIT's liquidity position.

In association with this new mortgage, Partners will pay a broker fee of approximately $48,000 to First National Financial (TSX:FN)(TSX:FN.PR.A). Moray Tawse, a significant unitholder of the REIT, has an interest in First National Financial.
