Further information on Pine Trail REIT, the issuer resulting from the Qualifying Transaction, is disclosed in the Filing Statement.
Trading in units of Pine Trail REIT is expected to commence on the TSXV under the symbol “PT” following the issuance by the TSXV of its final bulletin in respect of the Qualifying Transaction, in any event not earlier than November 14, 2018 in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
