Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On March 25, 2019, the Trust announced the distribution reinvestment and optional cash purchase plan (the "DRIP Plan").

The DRIP Plan provides an efficient and cost-effective way for the Trust to issue additional equity to existing Unitholders.

Unitholders may choose to make optional cash purchases of Series A Units under the DRIP Plan at any time in amounts equal to or greater than $1,000, but not to exceed $100,000 per annum. The aggregate number of Series A Units issued pursuant to optional cash payments, in any financial year, cannot exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Series A Units as at the beginning of that financial year. 

Private Placement
On May 6, 2019, the Trust announced its intention to complete a non-brokered private placement of Series C Units of the Trust for gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000. The private placement is expected to close on or about June 28, 2019.
