Timbercreek U.S. Multi-Residential Opportunity Fund #1 Announces Special Distribution

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - March 13, 2017) - Timbercreek U.S. Multi-Residential Opportunity Fund #1 (the "Fund") announced today details of a special distribution to unitholders resulting from the previously announced sales of Chelsea Commons and Alexander Pointe, the remaining two properties in the portfolio.

Special Distribution

The special distribution equates to $2.026 per class A unit of the Fund ("Class A Units"), $2.026 per class B unit of the Fund ("Class B Units") and $2.026 per Class C unit of the Fund ("Class C Units) to be paid on March 17, 2017 to holders of Class A Units, Class B Units and Class C Units of record on March 15, 2017. It is estimated that approximately $2.026 per unit is the effective return of capital to unitholders. The Manager intends to provide an estimate on the post-distribution NAV within a week of the payment date.

The special distribution is net of estimated U.S. taxes payable and other post-closing holdbacks of approximately 20% in aggregate. U.S. taxes paid will be allocated to unitholders as a foreign tax credit which may be available to reduce their total Canadian taxes payable. This foreign tax credit along with actual effective return of capital information will be provided to investors on their 2016 tax slip prior to March 31, 2017. A unitholder's final tax liability will be dependent on each unitholder's personal tax situation. Investors should seek their own advice on the tax consequences that apply to them in their circumstances.

Based on the completed dispositions of all portfolio assets and the payout of this special distribution, the Manager will initiate the processes required to wind-up the Fund which may include a modest final distribution of any cash that remains in the Fund upon completion.

In relation to the wind-up of the Fund, the last quarterly trailer fee will be paid on April 14, 2017. The trailer fee will be prorated for the period from January 1, 2017 to February 15, 2017, which coincides with the date of the sale of the last asset in the portfolio, Alexander Pointe.
