TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/31/14 -- InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust ("InnVest") (TSX: INN.UN) is pleased to announce the final results of its previously announced substantial issuer bid (the "Offer") to purchase for cancellation up to $28,750,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.25% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures, Series G (the "Series G Debentures") at a purchase price of $1,080 per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Series G Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Offer expired in accordance with its terms at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 30, 2014. The final report provided by the depositary indicated a total of $59,843,000 aggregate principal amount of Series G Debentures had been deposited pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn as of the time of expiry, representing approximately 52% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Series G Debentures. As the aggregate principal amount of Series G Debentures deposited under the Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Offer, a pro-rata factor will apply such that debentureholders who deposited Series G Debentures will have approximately 48% of the Series G Debentures they deposited purchased by InnVest.
Accordingly, given that all of the conditions of the Offer have been satisfied, InnVest has taken up and forwarded payment to the depositary under the Offer for a total of $28,750,000 aggregate principal amount of Series G Debentures, for total consideration of $31,050,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to and including the date of take-up of the Series G Debentures in the aggregate amount of $557,080.48. It is expected that payment for the Series G Debentures tendered and accepted for purchase will be forwarded by the depositary under the Offer to the registered holder of Series G Debentures as soon as practicable and in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Series G Debentures deposited but not purchased will be returned as soon as practicable by the depositary under the Offer to the depositing debentureholders. The purchase of Series G Debentures pursuant to the Offer represents 25% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Series G Debentures and after giving effect to the purchase of such Series G Debentures for cancellation, $86,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Series G Debentures remain outstanding.
