    LITTLE ROCK, Ark. and TORONTO, April 30, 2025 /CNW/ - BSR Real Estate Investment Trust ("BSR" or the "REIT") (TSX:HOM) (TSX: HOM.UN) today announced that it has closed the previously announced contribution transaction (the "Contribution Transaction"), pursuant to which BSR Trust, LLC ("BSR Trust"), the operating subsidiary of the REIT, sold six properties comprising 1,844 apartment units located in Dallas, TX to AvalonBay Communities, Inc. ("AVB") (NYSE:AVB) valued at $431,500,000 in the aggregate. Under the Contribution Transaction, BSR Trust received $193,000,000 in cash consideration, a portion of which was used to extinguish all existing mortgage debt on the contributed properties, and the remainder of which is anticipated to be used for transaction expenses and other general corporate purposes. In addition, the previously announced participation offer under the Contribution Transaction was fully subscribed, resulting in the cancellation of 15,000,000 (approximately 75%) of the Class B units of BSR Trust ("Class B Units") on the date hereof. These Class B Units were exchanged for equity ("AVB DownREIT Units") of a newly formed "DownREIT" partnership entity of AVB.

    In connection with the Contribution Transaction, the contractual rights held by a subset of legacy holders of Class B Units (the "Bailey/Hughes Holders"), including consent rights over certain fundamental sale transactions, were eliminated pursuant to an amendment and restatement of the investor rights agreement entered into at the time of the REIT's initial public offering in 2018 (the "Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement"). Under the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, the Bailey/Hughes Holders will retain one nominee on the REIT's board of trustees, provided they maintain a collective ownership interest in the REIT above 10%.

    Prior to the Contribution Transaction, the Bailey/Hughes Holders beneficially owned, or had control or direction over, 16,079,276 Class B Units and 4,886,506 REIT Units in the aggregate, together representing an approximate 39.06% ownership interest in the REIT (determined as if all Class B Units are redeemed for trust units of the REIT ("REIT Units")). Following the Contribution Transaction, the Bailey/Hughes Holders beneficially own, or have control or direction over, 3,239,398 Class B Units and 4,020,584 REIT Units in the aggregate, together representing an approximate 18.77% ownership interest in the REIT (determined as if all Class B Units are redeemed for REIT Units).

    John S. Bailey, W. Daniel Hughes, Jr., Patricia Bailey and their respective controlled entities (together, the "Supporting Unitholders"), all of whom are Bailey/Hughes Holders, participated in the Contribution Transaction in respect of a portion of their Class B Units. Each of the Supporting Unitholders is a "related party" of the REIT for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), and no other participating holder of Class B Units, including each participating Bailey/Hughes Holder, is a "related party" for purposes of MI 61-101. Prior to the Contribution Transaction, the Supporting Unitholders, beneficially owned, or had control or direction over, 12,259,104 Class B Units and 4,303,936 REIT Units in the aggregate, together representing an approximate 31% ownership interest in the REIT (assuming that all Class B Units are redeemed for REIT Units). Following the Contribution Transaction, the Supporting Unitholders, beneficially own, or have control or direction over, 3,115,109 Class B Units and 4,070,583 REIT Units in the aggregate, together representing an approximate 18.58% ownership interest in the REIT (assuming that all Class B Units are redeemed for REIT Units). The Contribution Transaction was exempt from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 in accordance with sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) thereof, respectively.

    The Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement will be available under the REIT's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. 

    Early Warning Disclosure

    This press release is also being disseminated as required by National Instrument 62‐103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take Over Bids and Insider Reporting Issues ("NI 62-103") in connection with the filing of an early warning report (the "Early Warning Report") by John S. Bailey, a founder and former Chief Executive Officer and former Executive Vice Chair of the REIT, in respect of the disposition of 3,779,133 Class B Units beneficially owned, or over which control or direction was exercised, by Mr. Bailey, which Class B Units were cancelled in connection with his participation in the Contribution Transaction. Such Class B Units were exchanged for 267,059 AVB DownREIT Units (as a result of the contractual exchange ratio of 0.0707 AVB DownREIT Units per Class B Unit) valued at US$55,329,283.62 (C$76,614,459.031) in the aggregate based on the closing price per share of AVB's stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange on April 29, 2025 of US$207.18 (C$286.88).

    Separately, on the date hereof, Unity Holdings, LLC, an entity over which Mr. Bailey exercises control or direction, distributed its assets in connection with its dissolution, and as a result  thereof,  the 1,111,167 Class B Units and the 311,137 REIT Units held by Unity Holdings, LLC were distributed to its members, of which 277,791 Class B Units and 77,785 REIT Units were distributed to entities over which Mr. Bailey exercises control or direction. Mr. Bailey did not participate in the Contribution Transaction in respect of such Class B Units.

    As a result of the foregoing dispositions, Mr. Bailey's beneficial ownership interest in the REIT has decreased in amount greater than 2% of the outstanding REIT Units (determined as if all Class B Units are redeemed for REIT Units) that were the subject of the most recent report filed by Mr. Bailey pursuant to NI 62-103.

    Prior to the dispositions on April 30, 2025, Mr. Bailey beneficially owned or exercised control or direction over 4,098,628 REIT Units and 6,383,625 Class B Units, which together represented an approximate 19.53% interest in the REIT (determined as if all Class B Units are redeemed for REIT Units) and an approximate 12.24% and 31.61% interest in the outstanding REIT Units and Class B Units, respectively.

    Following the dispositions on April 30, 2025, Mr. Bailey beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over 3,865,276 REIT Units and 1,771,116 Class B Units, which, following the cancellation of 15,000,000 Class B Units pursuant to the Contribution Transaction, together represents an approximate 14.57% interest in the REIT (determined as if all Class B Units are redeemed for REIT Units) and an approximate 11.54% and 34.11% interest in the outstanding REIT Units and Class B Units, respectively.

    The dispositions by Mr. Bailey were made in connection with the Contribution Transaction and dissolution of Unity Holdings, LLC. The remaining REIT Units and Class B Units held by Mr. Bailey are being held for investment purposes and he may, depending on market and other conditions, increase or decrease his beneficial ownership or control of REIT Units or Class B Units, whether through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, exercise of convertible securities or otherwise.

    A copy of the early warning report to be filed by Mr. Bailey in connection with the transactions described herein will be available on the REIT's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com and may be obtained from Spencer Andrews, Vice President of Marketing and Investor Relations of the REIT, at the telephone number below.
