TORONTO and NEW YORK, March 23, 2026 /CNW/ - GO Residential Real Estate Investment Trust ("GO Residential REIT" or the "REIT") (TSX: GO.U) announced today that it has completed its previously announced public offering (the "Offering") of 3,768,845 trust units of the REIT (the "REIT Units") on a bought deal basis at a price of US$9.95 per REIT Unit (the "Offering Price") for total gross proceeds of approximately US$37.5 million. Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the REIT's operating subsidiary, GO Residential Operating LLC ("OpCo"), completed its previously announced private placement of approximately 3,780,910 common units of OpCo ("OpCo Units") on a private placement basis at the Offering Price for total gross proceeds of approximately US$37.6 million (the "Concurrent Private Placement"). Together, the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$75.1 million.

The Offering was completed through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by CIBC Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The REIT has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 565,326 REIT Units at the Offering Price, which, if exercised in full, would increase the total gross proceeds of the Offering to approximately US$43.1 million.

The REIT intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement, together with a draw of approximately US$19 million on the REIT's credit facility, to fund a portion of the approximately US$439.6 million aggregate purchase price payable for the REIT's previously announced acquisitions of: (i) a 100% interest in the residential and retail units in 7 Dey, located at 7 Dey St., New York, NY 10007; and (ii) an approximate 81% managing interest in 409 Eastern Parkway, located at 409 Eastern Pkwy., Brooklyn, NY 11216 (the "Acquisitions"). The Acquisitions are expected to close in the second quarter of 2026. In the event the REIT is unable to consummate one or both of the Acquisitions, the REIT intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement to fund future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

The REIT Units and OpCo Units have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
