Summit Industrial Income REIT Announces May Regular Cash Distribution and Special Distribution

TORONTO, May 15, 2015 /CNW/ - Summit Industrial Income REIT ("Summit" or the "REIT") (TSX: SMU.UN) announced today its regular monthly cash distribution of $0.042 per Unit to be paid on June 15, 2015 to Unitholders of record on May 31, 2015.

The previously-announced special cash distribution of $0.016 per Unit will also be paid on June 15, 2015 to Unitholders of record on May 31, 2015. As announced, the Board of Trustees has adopted a policy to pay a special distribution to Unitholders of up to 20% of any realized gain on the sale of a property.

Summit II's amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") provides residents of Canada the opportunity to elect to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional units of Summit II.
