Owning 5 Properties Leased by Tesla Canada

Leased by Tesla Canada, the properties are located at 2180/2200 Cyrille-Duquet Street in Quebec City, Quebec, and 2474 Doral Drive in Innisfil, Ontario. The addition of the properties is expected to be immediately accretive to the REIT’s Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) per unit on a leverage-neutral basis.

The combined purchase price of the two properties is approximately C$25.9 million ($16 million for the Cyrille-Duquet Street Property and $9.9 million for the Doral Drive Property).

The REIT financed the respective purchase prices of the Cyrille-Duquet Street Building and the Doral Promenade Building using its revolving credit facilities.
