Kingsway Arms Retirement Residences Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KWA) (the "Company" or
"Kingsway") provides the following update:




1.  The Company has filed today on SEDAR its quarterly financial statements,
    together with Management Discussion and Analysis for the three months
    ended March 31, 2014. 
    
    
2.  The Company announces today that it has entered into a binding purchase
    and sale agreement (together with an amending agreement) with Seasons
    Retirement Communities ("Seasons") whereby Kingsway has agreed to sell
    the Clarington Retirement Residence ("Clarington") to Seasons. The
    transaction is scheduled to close on May 30, 2014 ("the Closing Date").
    
    In December, 2013, the Company engaged the services of an independent
    licensed real estate brokerage firm (the "Agent") to solicit bids for
    Clarington. The marketing of the property commenced in January, 2014. A
    letter of intent with Seasons was executed on February 25, 2014 and a
    purchase and sale agreement was executed on March 21, 2014; however, the
    purchase and sale agreement was subject to satisfactory completion of
    due diligence by Seasons at its sole discretion. On May 6, 2014, the
    Company and Seasons entered into an amending agreement to the purchase
    and sale agreement, whereby Seasons waived its due diligence conditions,
    and placed a non-refundable deposit in trust with the Company's counsel.
    
    The purchase price for Clarington is $27.345 million, payable in cash at
    the Closing Date.  The Company will utilize the funds received at the
    Closing Date to fully discharge the outstanding mortgage obligations on
    Clarington at the Closing Date and will utilize the remaining funds for
    working capital purposes.  The fees for the Agent will be approximately
    2% of the purchase price.
    
    Promptly following the Closing Date, the Company will issue a further
    press release confirming the closing of the transaction and file the
    material agreements on SEDAR.
