Mr. Dennis Blasutti reports RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST COMPLETES $200 MILLION ISSUANCE OF SERIES AQ SENIOR UNSECURED DEBENTURES RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust has completed its previously announced issuance of $200-million principal amount of Series AQ senior unsecured debentures. The debentures were sold at a price of $100 per $100 principal amount, carry a coupon rate of 4.308 per cent per annum, are payable semi-annually in arrears and mature on March 11, 2033. The net proceeds of the debentures will be used by the trust to repay existing indebtedness at or prior to maturity.

The debentures were offered on an agency basis by a syndicate of agents co-led by TD Securities, Desjardins Capital Markets, RBC Capital Markets, BMO Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets and Scotia Capital. Morningstar DBRS assigned the debentures a credit rating of BBB with a positive trend. The debentures were issued pursuant to RioCan's trust indenture dated March 8, 2005, as supplemented.
