CALGARY, Alberta, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unless otherwise stated, all numbers in this press release are presented in Canadian dollars. Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust (“Alaris” or the “Trust“) (TSX: AD.UN) is pleased to announce that further to its previously announced closing of the offering (the “Offering“) of $80 million aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured senior debentures of the Trust (“Debentures“), the syndicate of underwriters led by National Bank Financial, CIBC Capital Markets and Desjardins Capital Markets, and including Acumen Capital Partners, Raymond James Ltd., RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank, and Cormark Securities Inc. have exercised their over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment Option“) in full, resulting in the issuance today of an additional $12 million aggregate principal amount of Debentures, bringing the total Offering to $92 million aggregate principal amount of Debentures.

The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year commencing on December 31, 2025 and mature on June 30, 2030. The Debentures are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “AD.DB.B”.

The Trust intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering, including the Over-Allotment Option, to partially repay outstanding indebtedness under Alaris’ subsidiary’s senior debt facility which may be subsequently redrawn and used to fund future investments in new Partners (as defined below) investments or general trust purposes.

ABOUT ALARIS
