TORONTO, Jan. 4, 2022 /CNW/ – Nova Net Lease REIT (“NOVA” or the “REIT“) (CSE: NNL.U) is pleased to announce that it has completed its initial public offering of 3,167,478 trust units (the “Units“) at a price of US$1.25 per Unit (the “Offering“). The Offering raised gross proceeds of approximately US$4.0 million. The Units will begin trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange today under the symbol “NNL.U”.
“The closing of the Offering marks a significant milestone for the REIT and is a big step towards us establishing a platform to leverage our first-mover advantage as the only Canadian publicly listed REIT exclusively addressing US regulated cannabis real estate. Our platform will deliver investors an opportunity to provide capital to the accelerating U.S. cannabis market, which we believe to be underserved” commented Richard Michaeloff, CEO, President and Trustee of the REIT. “With a number of potential acquisitions identified that, in aggregate, are valued at over US$1 billion with cap rates between 10% and 13%, a management team and board with a demonstrated track record, and access to the public markets, we believe we are well positioned in the sector” he added.
The REIT has been formed to acquire specialized industrial and retail properties leased to experienced, top-tier, creditworthy state-licensed operators for their Regulated Cannabis facilities (“Licensed Facilities“) in the United States. The REIT intends to acquire properties through sale-leaseback transactions and lease such properties on a triple net lease basis for a targeted 10 to 15 year term and strives to negotiate annual rental rate increases in the leases. The REIT’s portfolio will consist of only Licensed Facilities in the United States with a targeted mix of 80% cultivation/grow/processing facilities and 20% retail/dispensary. The REIT is internally managed by a vertically integrated team of seasoned real estate and cannabis professionals with expertise across the spectrum of real estate investment management, including: acquisitions, underwriting, financing, asset management, property management, operations, development and redevelopment, accounting, regulatory affairs and marketing. The REIT will use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund transaction costs associated with the Closing and for general working capital purposes. The proceeds received by the REIT on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, to the extent exercised, will be used by the REIT for general working capital purposes. None of the net proceeds from the Offering will be deployed by the REIT to acquire Licensed Facilities.
The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., and including Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Agents“). The REIT has granted to the Agents an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offered Units at the Offering Price.
Goodmans LLP, is acting as Canadian counsel to the REIT and Hodgson Russ LLP and Reed Smith LLP, are acting as U.S. counsel to the REIT. Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP is acting as Canadian counsel to the Agents and Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr, LLP is acting as U.S. counsel to the Agents.
