Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:
BEI.UN)
Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust
("Boardwalk", the "Trust" or "we") is pleased to announce that it
has increased the size of its previously announced bought deal
offering whereby the Trust has entered into an agreement to
issue 3,185,000 units of the Trust (“Units”) from treasury on
a bought deal basis at a price of $68.50 per Unit (the “Offering
Price”) to a syndicate of underwriters bookrun by TD Securities
Inc. and RBC Capital Markets (collectively, the “Underwriters”) for
total gross proceeds of approximately $218 million (the
“Offering”). In addition, the Trust has granted the Underwriters an
over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 477,750
Units at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part, for a
period of 30 days following closing of the Offering. If the
over-allotment option is exercised in full, the gross proceeds of
the Offering will total approximately $251 million.
The Trust announced yesterday that it has agreed
to acquire The Circle, a 295-suite newly built apartment complex in
Calgary, Alberta for approximately $77.8 million.
Boardwalk intends to use the net proceeds of the
Offering, including over-allotment proceeds, if any, to finance the
purchase price for The Circle, repay its portion of a floating rate
construction facility on the 45 Railroad community in Brampton,
Ontario and to fund future acquisition and development
opportunities in its existing pipeline.
The Units will be offered in each of the
provinces and territories of Canada pursuant to a prospectus
supplement to the Trust’s short form base shelf prospectus dated
December 14, 2023. The Offering is expected to close on or about
December 22, 2023 and is subject to certain conditions, including
the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Units have not been, nor will they be,
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the
United States (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act),
except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the 1933 Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Units in the United
States.
