Tricon Residential Inc. (NYSE: TCN, TSX: TCN) (“Tricon” or the
“Company”) today announced that the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice (Commercial List) has granted a final order approving its
previously announced statutory plan of arrangement under the
Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to
which Blackstone Real Estate Partners X, together with Blackstone
Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. will acquire all of the outstanding
common shares of the Tricon (“Common Shares”) for US$11.25 per

issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws and will
deregister the Common Shares under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”).
