Forward Looking Information
This press release may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking information generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "outlook", "objective", "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "should", "plans", or "continue", or similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events. Some of the specific forward-looking information in this press release may include, among other things, statements regarding the intended use of proceeds of the Offering, the expected rating of the Series G Debentures, the anticipated closing date of the Offering and the terms of the Series G Debentures. Such forward-looking information is based on information currently available to management and is based on assumptions, estimates and analyses made by management in light of their respective experiences and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. Statements that constitute "forward-looking information" are not guarantees of future events or performance and, by their nature, are based on management's current estimates and assumptions, which are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks associated with real estate ownership, the rollover of leases, tenant concentration, geographic concentration of properties, development projects, financing, interest rates, economic environment risks, changes in law, competition in the Canadian real estate markets, joint arrangements, environmental and climate change-related matters, insurance, cyber security, adverse global market, economic and political conditions, duties, tariffs and other trade restrictions and their impacts, and public health, reliance on the Partnership's asset manager, the Partnership's credit rating and credit risk of the Partnership's senior unsecured debentures and that the proceeds from the sale of the Series G Debentures will be used as described herein.
Material factors and assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making an estimate set out in the forward-looking information may include, but are not limited to: interest rates; access to equity and debt capital markets to fund, at acceptable costs, the future growth of the Partnership and to enable it to refinance debts as they mature; the Partnership's ability to maintain occupancy and to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents; and the availability of purchase opportunities for growth in Canada. Given the current geopolitical environment, there is inherently more uncertainty associated with any assumptions made. Management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be other than as expected or estimated and that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from current expectations, but there may be other factors not presently known or not presently believed to be material that could cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward looking information.
All forward-looking information in this press release speaks as of the date of this press release. The Partnership does not undertake to update any such forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law. Additional information about these assumptions and risks and uncertainties is contained in the Partnership's filings with securities regulators, including its latest MD&A. These filings are also available under the Partnership's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.
