Trust (TSXV: RRR.UN) (the "REIT") announces that it has
issued REIT units to participating trustees in connection with its
2024 units for services agreements (the "2024 Units for Services
Agreements"), pursuant to which trustees could elect to receive all
or a portion of their trustee retainer fees for 2024 in units,
rather than in cash. The units issued pursuant to the 2024 Units
for Services Agreements serve as compensation for past services
provided by such trustees to the REIT for the 2024 fiscal year. The
units were issued at a price of C$0.16 per unit and the amount of trustee fees
paid in units and the number of units issued to each participating
trustee is as follows:

The REIT also announces that it has entered into new units
for services agreements with participating trustees in respect of
issuing units in lieu of all or a portion of the cash trustee
retainer fees that will be payable to such trustees for the 2025
fiscal year (the "2025 Units for Services Agreements"). The 2025
Units for Services Agreements with each such trustee, which have
been conditionally approved by the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"TSXV"), set out the dollar amount of 2025 trustee fees to be paid
in units. Details regarding the amount elected by each of the
trustees are set out below:

The number of units issuable will be calculated using the
volume-weighted average trading price for the units of the REIT on
the TSXV for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of
issuance (provided that the price per unit shall not be less than
the maximum permitted discounted market price on the date of
issuance pursuant to the TSXV rules) and the daily average exchange
rate for CAD:USD reported by the Bank of Canada on the business day prior to the
issuance. The trust units that are issued will be subject to a four
month hold period. The issuances are expected to occur in
February 2026.
The REIT also announces today that it has granted 255,791
deferred trust units to two of its executive officers at a price of
C$0.16 per deferred trust unit in
accordance with the REIT's long-term incentive plan. One third of
the deferred trust units will vest annually on the anniversary of
the award date.
