Slate Retail negotiates C$10 million private placement of trust units

Non-brokered sale fixed alongside a C$50 million public sale of units

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 26 – Slate Retail REIT said on Wednesday that it plans a C$10 million non-brokered private placement of units.

The company will sell 769,230 class U trust units at C$13.00 apiece, which is a 23.81% premium to the closing share price of C$10.50 on Feb. 24.

The company also plans a C$50 million concurrent public sale of 3.85 million units at the same price as those sold in the placement. The public offering, with a C$6 million greenshoe, will be conducted by a syndicate of underwriters led by joint bookrunners CIBC and GMP Securities on a bought-deal basis.

Proceeds from both sales will be used to repay debt under the REIT's credit facilities.

Toronto-based Slate Retail is an open-ended real estate investment trust that focuses on U.S. grocery-anchored real estate.
