Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust has closed the issuance of an additional 1,448,599 trust units of Primaris for gross proceeds of approximately $21.4-million. The issuance was pursuant to the exercise in full by the underwriters of their overallotment option with respect to the trust's recently completed public offering of 10 million units on Oct. 10, 2025. The exercise of the overallotment option increases the total gross proceeds of the offering to approximately $168.9-million.
