GO RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

07.01.26 13:00 Uhr

TORONTO, Jan. 7, 2026 /CNW/ - GO Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX: GO.U) announced today that it has received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") of the REIT's notice of intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). Under the NCIB, the REIT will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 2,643,960 of its trust units ("Units") on the open market, representing 10% of the "public float" (calculated in accordance with TSX rules) as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the number of issued and outstanding Units was 33,396,667.

The NCIB will commence on January 9, 2026 and remain in effect until the earlier of January 8, 2027 and the date on which the REIT has purchased the maximum number of Units permitted under the NCIB. Purchases of Units under the NCIB will be made in accordance with TSX rules and policies through the facilities of the TSX, or through Canadian alternative trading systems. The price paid for any repurchased Units will be the market price of such Units at the time of acquisition. The average daily trading volume of the Units from the start of trading on July 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, was 82,449 Units and accordingly daily purchases will be limited to 20,612 Units other than purchases made in accordance with the TSX's block purchase exception.

The REIT continues to believe that, from time to time, the market price of the Units may not fully reflect the intrinsic value of the Units and that, in such circumstances, using the NCIB to return capital to its unitholders who choose to participate is a desirable use of the REIT's funds and may benefit those unitholders who continue to hold Units by increasing their equity interest in the REIT. To the REIT's knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, none of the trustees, officers or other insiders of the REIT or any associate of any such persons, or any associate or affiliate of the REIT currently intends to sell Units to the REIT during the course of the issuer bid.

The REIT may establish an automatic purchase plan under which its broker may purchase Units according to a prearranged set of criteria. The plan would enable the purchase of Units at any time, including when the REIT would not ordinarily be active in the market because of internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. The plan will terminate on the earliest of the date on which the purchase limits specified in the plan have been attained, the date on which the NCIB terminates or the date on which the plan is terminated by a party in accordance with its terms.
