TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2023 /CNW/ - CT Real Estate Investment Trust ("CT REIT") (TSX: CRT.UN) announced today that it has entered into an automatic purchase plan ("APP") agreement with a designated broker to facilitate purchases of CT REIT's units ("Units") under its previously announced normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). CT REIT previously announced that it had received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to purchase Units under the NCIB in accordance with its terms during the 12-month period commencing November 29, 2022 and terminating November 28, 2023.
