Dream Impact Trust Announces $40 Million Impact Debenture Offering
May 31 2022 - 4:08PM
DREAM IMPACT TRUST (TSX: MPCT.UN) ("Dream Impact",
"we", "our" or the "Trust") today announced that it has entered
into an agreement to sell, to a syndicate of underwriters led by TD
Securities Inc. and Scotiabank, $40 million principal amount of
5.75% convertible impact unsecured subordinated debentures of the
Trust due December 31, 2027, (the “Debentures”) at a price of
$1,000 per Debenture (the “Offering”). The closing of
the Offering is expected on or about June 9, 2022.
The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of
5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31
each year, commencing on December 31, 2022. The Debentures will be
convertible at the holder’s option into units of the Trust
("Units") at a conversion price of $8.00 per Unit representing a
conversion rate of 125.0000 Units per $1,000 principal amount of
Debentures. The Debentures will not be redeemable before December
31, 2025. The Debentures will be direct subordinated unsecured
obligations of the Trust.
The net proceeds from the Debentures are
intended to be used for expenditures associated with eligible
impact investments in accordance with the Trust’s Impact Financing
Framework, released in 2021, as amended on May 30, 2022. The Trust
is currently in advanced stages of negotiation for over $55 million
of income properties, comprising over 200 multi-family rental
units, in addition to land slated for redevelopment. The Trust’s
pipeline of assets are complementary to its existing portfolio, as
they are well located and adjacent to existing or future public
transit hubs in the GTA. The remaining proceeds will be earmarked
for the Trust’s development projects aligned with the Trust’s
Impact Financing Framework. Prior to the allocation of the net
proceeds of the Offering, the net proceeds may be initially
utilized, in part or in full, for repayments of certain of the
Trust’s credit facilities, and ultimately will be allocated to
finance, in whole or in part, expenditures associated with eligible
impact investments in accordance with the Trust’s Impact Financing
Framework.
The Debentures will be offered by way of a shelf
prospectus supplement to the Trust’s short form base shelf
prospectus dated December 2, 2021, to be filed on or about June 2,
2022 with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces
and territories of Canada.

securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation
is unlawful. This press release is not an offer of securities for
sale in the United States (“U.S”). The securities being offered and
