Tricon Announces Pricing of Upsized U.S. IPO and Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of US$503 million

TORONTO, Oct. 6, 2021 /CNW/ - Tricon Residential Inc. ("Tricon" or the "Company") (TSX: TCN), an owner and operator of single-family rental homes and multi-family rental apartments in the United States and Canada, today announced the pricing of its previously announced marketed public offering of common shares of Tricon ("Common Shares") in the United States and Canada (the "Offering") and concurrent private placement of Common Shares (the "Private Placement") to Blackstone Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. ("BREIT"). The underwriters have agreed to purchase 36,000,000 Common Shares from the Company in the Offering at a price of US$12.40 per share (the "Offering Price"), and BREIT has agreed to purchase 4,848,746 Common Shares from the Company in the Private Placement at a price of US$11.75 per share (the Offering Price net of underwriting discounts), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US$503 million. The aggregate size of the Offering and the Private Placement has been increased from the previously announced approximately US$395 million.

The Common Shares are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "TCN" on October 7, 2021 and will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "TCN". The Offering and the Private Placement are expected to close on October 12, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

Morgan Stanley, RBC Capital Markets, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Scotiabank and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a Stifel company, are acting as joint book-running managers in the Offering.  Morgan Stanley and RBC Capital Markets are also acting as representatives of the underwriters in the Offering.

Tricon has also granted the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of the underwriting agreement for the Offering, to purchase up to 5,400,000 additional Common Shares, representing 15% of the total number of Common Shares to be sold pursuant to the Offering.

BREIT has exercised its participation right, pursuant to the investor rights agreement with the Company dated September 3, 2020 to acquire 4,848,746 Common Shares in the Private Placement. Following the completion of the Offering and the Private Placement, BREIT's effective ownership interest in the Company will be approximately 11.87% (assuming the exchange of its preferred units of Tricon PIPE LLC for Common Shares and assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option).

Tricon expects that the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement will be used to repay the total amount outstanding under its 2017-1 pass-through certificates in respect of the Company's single-family rental securitization debt maturing in 2022, in addition to funding future property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Offering, Tricon has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement to its base shelf prospectus, and will file a final prospectus supplement to its base shelf prospectus, with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada.
