services agreements with its non-executive trustees in respect of
issuing units in lieu of all or a portion of the cash trustee
retainer fees that will be payable to such non-executive trustees
for the 2024 fiscal year (the "2024 Units for Services
Agreements"). The 2024 Units for Services Agreements with each such
non-executive trustee, which have been conditionally approved by

The number of units issuable will be calculated using the
volume-weighted average trading price for the units of the REIT on
the TSXV for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of
issuance (provided that the price per unit shall not be less than
the maximum permitted discounted market price on the date of
issuance pursuant to the TSXV rules) and the daily average exchange
rate for CAD:USD reported by the Bank of Canada on the business day prior to the
issuance. The trust units that are issued will be subject to a four
month hold period. The issuances are expected to occur in early
January 2025.
The REIT also announces today that it has granted 224,100
deferred trust units to an executive officer at a price of
C$0.09 per deferred trust unit
in accordance with the REIT's long-term incentive plan. One third
of the deferred trust units will vest annually on the anniversary
of the award date.
