Timbercreek U.S. Multi-Residential Opportunity Fund #1 Wind-up Update

TORONTO, ON–(Marketwired – November 17, 2017) – Timbercreek U.S. Multi-Residential Opportunity Fund #1 (the “Fund“) today announced that, with the receipt of the Ontario Securities Commission Decision 2017/0601 (the “Decision“), the Fund is no longer a reporting issuer under applicable securities legislation. The cessation of reporting issuer status is a key milestone in the previously announced wind-up of the Fund (the “Wind-up“).

Having successfully concluded its investment purpose, the Fund applied to cease to be a reporting issuer because, among other reasons, it has ceased carrying on business (other than for the purpose of effecting the Wind-up) and the Manager felt it was in the best interests of the unitholders that the Fund ceased to be a reporting issuer and reduced its expenses accordingly.

The Manager has filed an application for a tentative refund claim with the Internal Revenue Service of the United States (the “IRS“) to carry-back a net operating loss in order to obtain a refund of prior year federal income taxes paid to which the Fund may be entitled. It is expected that the IRS will process the Fund’s application for a tentative refund claim by mid-2018, and although there can be no assurance that the IRS will make a determination in favour of the Fund, the Manager expects to distribute any remaining net proceeds, and complete the Wind-up promptly after a determination is made.

In connection with the Decision, the Fund has agreed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities that it will no longer consent to transfers of its securities. Investors are advised to contact their investment advisor, stockbroker, bank, trust company or other nominee if they have questions regarding the transferability of their securities.
