AIP.U AIP Realty Trust

AIP Realty Trust (“AIP” or the “Trust”) (TSXV: AIP.U) is pleased to announce that it has implemented a Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) enabling Canadian holders of trust units of AIP (the “Units”) to reinvest distributions paid on such Units, subject to applicable withholding taxes, into additional Units of the Trust. The DRIP provides investors with a way to steadily increase their ownership in AIP without incurring any commission or other transaction costs.

To encourage participation, Units purchased through the DRIP will be purchased at a three percent (3%) discount to the average market price based on the daily volume weighted average price of the units for five consecutive trading days. Participants will also be able to make optional cash payments towards the purchase of additional Units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DRIP. Units purchased through the DRIP will be issued from Treasury by the Trust.

Up to 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Units may be issued pursuant to the DRIP at any time during a financial year (being 341,786 at the effective date of the DRIP, or such greater number permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) from time to time). Any increases in the maximum number of Units that the Trust may issue pursuant to the DRIP is subject to (i) approval of the Trust’s board of trustees, (ii) approval of the TSXV, and (iii) public disclosure by way of a news release regarding the increase in the maximum number of Units.

TSX Trust Company (the “Agent”) has been appointed as the Agent for the DRIP. AIP will pay to the Agent all cash distributions which are to be reinvested on behalf of unitholders participating in the DRIP, subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Agent will then use these funds to purchase additional Units on behalf of participants directly from the Trust or from the TSXV (or applicable market). Proceeds received by the Trust from the issuance of Units under the DRIP will be used for general corporate purposes. Participation in the DRIP is optional and does not affect unitholders’ cash distributions, unless they elect to participate in the DRIP.

The Trust provides unitholders with quarterly distributions that reflect the underlying strengths of the Trust. The Units are listed on the TSXV (under the trading symbol AIPV.U) and may be eligible for registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings plans, tax-free savings accounts and deferred profit sharing plans.

The DRIP will be effective commencing December 15, 2022. The DRIP and the enrollment form may be obtained from the Agent by calling 1-866-600-5869, by visiting the Agent’s website at https://www.tsxtrust.com/t/investor-hub/drips, or by visiting the AIP website at www.aiprealtytrust.com.
