The Toronto Stock Exchange reports that it has conditionally approved an application for the listing of the units of GO Residential Real Estate Investment Trust, subject to
completion of a proposed initial public offering (IPO) of these
securities as described in the REIT's amended and restated
preliminary prospectus dated July 11, 2025, amending and restating
the preliminary prospectus dated June 18, 2025. It is anticipated that, in the next few days, the REIT will
file a final prospectus for its offering of units.
As soon as possible after the final prospectus is cleared by the
relevant securities regulatory authorities, the TSX will post the units for
trading on an if, as and when-issued basis, in U.S. dollars, under the symbol GO.U and with Cusip No. 36272H 10 7. Before the units are posted for trading on
such basis, the TSX will issue a bulletin confirming both the
pricing and the expected closing date for the offering. If and
when the offering closes, the units will be listed on the TSX. The temporary market-maker is Integral Wealth Securities Ltd.
Subject to the closing of the offering, all trades in GO.U on and
before the trading day immediately preceding the closing date will be
for special settlement on the closing date and will appear on the
settlement report from CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. If
the offering does not close, all of the if, as and when-issued trades
will be cancelled. No securities will be delivered and no money will be
owed by purchasers to sellers.
Parties who are entitled to receive units under the offering may sell
such securities in the if, as and when-issued market without being
subject to restrictions on short sales. Parties who are not entitled to receive units under the offering must comply with the short sale rule
in all respects for any sales they make in the GO.U if, as and when-issued market.
If and when the offering closes, there will be no further trading in
GO.U on an if, as and when-issued basis, and the units issued at
such closing will trade on a regular settlement basis.
