TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2015 /CNW/ - Starlight U.S. Multi-Family Core Fund (the "Fund") (TSXV: UMF.A, UMF.U) announced today that it has entered into an amending agreement (the "Amending Agreement") with Scotia Capital, Inc. (the "Broker"), the broker under the Fund's previously announced automatic repurchase plan (the "Plan") entered into to facilitate repurchases of the Fund's class A limited partnership units (the "Class A Units") and class U limited partnership units (the "Class U Units" and together with the Class A Units, the "Units") under the Fund's normal course issuer bid previously announced on June 4, 2015 (the "Issuer Bid").

The Fund and the Broker have entered into the Amending Agreement to amend the Plan to replace the daily aggregate repurchase maximum with a monthly aggregate repurchase maximum.

All purchases under the Plan will be made by the Broker based on the parameters prescribed by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), applicable Canadian securities laws and the terms of the Plan. The Plan is intended for the purchase of Units only under the Issuer Bid.  Under the Plan, the Broker may purchase Units under the Issuer Bid when the Fund would ordinarily not be permitted to do so. The Plan commenced on June 11, 2015 and expires on June 10, 2016, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. As of June 30, 2015, 3,350 Class A Units and no Class U Units have been repurchased under the Plan.

The TSX-V approved the Fund's notice of intention to enter into the Issuer Bid on June 4, 2015. Under the Issuer Bid, the Fund has the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 278,999 of its Class A Units and 34,857 of its Class U Units. The Issuer Bid commenced on June 11, 2015 and will remain in effect until the earlier of: (i) June 10, 2016, (ii) the termination of the Fund if not extended, and (iii) the date on which the Fund has purchased the maximum number of Units permitted under the Issuer Bid.
