MONTREAL, July 30, 2013 /CNW/ - PRO Real Estate Investment Trust ("PROREIT" or the "REIT") (TSXV: PRV.UN) is providing an update with respect to its proposed public offering announced on July 9, 2013, for which a preliminary short form prospectus was filed with the securities authorities in all provinces of Canada.
The closing date for the offering was originally anticipated to occur by the end of July 2013, but, on the advice of its advisors, the REIT has decided to postpone the offering until the Canadian real estate capital markets demonstrate more stability than shown since the filing of the prospectus. The REIT will provide an update on anticipated timing in due course.
Further details of the offering are set out in the preliminary prospectus of the REIT dated July 8, 2013, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The securities offered have not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any U.S. State securities laws and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, within the United States or its territories or possessions or to or for the account of any U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) other than pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any such securities within the United States, or its territories or possessions, or to or for the account of any U.S. person.
A preliminary prospectus containing important information relating to the securities has been filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in all of the provinces of Canada. The preliminary prospectus is still subject to completion or amendment. Copies of the preliminary prospectus are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under the REIT's profile.
