European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust Announces Completion of Going-Private Transaction with Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust

ERES Units Delist Following CAPREIT Takeover Completion

Executive Summary
  • European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (ERES) has completed its going-private transaction with Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (CAPREIT).
  • CAPREIT now holds 100% ownership of all issued and outstanding ERES Units and Class B LP Units.
  • ERES units are delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and will cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada.
  • Transaction consideration was $1.19 per ERES Unit, paid in an all-cash transaction.
  • CAPREIT increased its effective interest from approximately 65% prior to closing to 100%.
Material Impact
  • The news confirms the execution of a transaction announced on March 2, 2026, with terms ($1.19/unit) fully disclosed months in advance.
  • There is no surprise element regarding price or structure; the market had priced in the exit based on previous approvals and fairness opinions.
  • For existing shareholders, this represents a definitive cash-out event rather than an investment opportunity change.
  • The completion removes execution risk associated with shareholder voting and court approval (both secured in April 2026).
  • Impact is positive for holders receiving liquidity but neutral for the broader market as the ticker ceases to exist.
