R&R REIT Announces TSXV Acceptance of Normal Course Issuer Bid

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW./

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 25, 2015 /CNW/- R&R Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSXV: RRR.UN) today announced receipt of final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") of the REIT's notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").  Under the NCIB, the REIT will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 1,000,000 Units on the open market, representing approximately 1.2% of the outstanding Units (after giving effect to the exchange of outstanding Class B units of subsidiary limited partnerships of the REIT).

The NCIB will commence on March 2, 2015 and remain in effect until the earlier of March 2, 2016 or the date on which the REIT has purchased the maximum number of Units permitted under the NCIB.  Purchases of Units under the NCIB will be made in accordance with TSXV by-laws, rules and policies through the facilities of the TSXV, or through other permitted means (including through other published markets).  The Units so purchased will be cancelled.  The price paid for any repurchased units will be the market price of such Units at the time of acquisition.

The REIT believes that its outstanding Units represent an attractive investment, and the ongoing purchase of its outstanding Units may increase unitholder value and constitutes a desirable use of the REIT's funds.

To the REIT's knowledge, none of the trustees, officers or other insiders of the REIT or any associate of any such persons, or any associate or affiliate of the REIT currently intends to sell Units to the REIT during the course of the NCIB.
