LANESBOROUGH REIT ANNOUNCES THAT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE SALE OF ALL OF ITS PROPERTIES NOT PASSED BY UNITHOLDERS
WINNIPEG, MB, June 27, 2024 /CNW/ - Lanesborough Real Estate Investment Trust ("LREIT") (TSXV: LRT.UN) announces today that on June 27, 2024, at the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders ("Unitholders") of trust units of LREIT, the special resolution of Unitholders to approve the previously announced proposal to sell eleven properties and a vacant land investment property, representing all or substantially all of the assets of LREIT, to 7254751 Manitoba Ltd. ("725") for aggregate consideration of $41,683,800 (collectively, the "Sale Transaction") was not approved. Due to the fact that the resolution to approve the Sale Transaction was not approved by Unitholders, the special resolution to approve the previously announced proposal to wind-up and terminate LREIT was not considered at the Meeting.
As the Sale Transaction was not approved by Unitholders, the Sale Transaction will not proceed and the asset purchase agreements between LREIT and 725 will be terminated.
In light of the results of the Meeting, management of LREIT will be considering the options available to it and will provide an update in due course.
At the Meeting the Unitholders approved the re-election of the independent trustees of LREIT and the appointment of MNP LLP as auditor of LREIT.
