("Tricon" or the "Company") (TSX: TCN), an owner and operator of single-family rental homes and multi-family rental apartments in the United States and Canada, announced today that it has completed its previously announced public offering (the "Offering") of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") to a syndicate of underwriters co-led by RBC Capital Markets, Scotia Capital, Morgan Stanley and Stifel GMP (collectively, the "Underwriters") on a "bought deal" basis.
A total of 15,480,725 Common Shares were issued at a price of C$13.00 per Common Share for total gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$201 million.

Upon completion of the Offering, BREIT's effective ownership interest in the Company remains at approximately 12.7% (assuming the exchange of its preferred units of Tricon PIPE LLC for Common Shares).
The Company intends to allocate substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the Company's future growth initiatives, including a portion of the capital commitments expected to be deployed through new and anticipated investment vehicles, and any balance used to fund other growth initiatives that may be pursued in the Company's businesses and/or for working capital and general corporate purposes.
