On June 29, 2023, Real Estate Split Corp. (TSX: RS and RS.PR.A) (the “Fund”) completed an overnight public offering (the “Offering”) of 393,700 class A shares and 500,500 preferred shares for total gross proceeds of approximately C$10.3 million.
The objectives of the Fund are to provide holders of the class A shares with non-cumulative monthly cash distributions and the opportunity for capital appreciation through exposure to the Fund’s investment portfolio and holders of the preferred shares with fixed cumulative preferential quarterly cash distributions and to return the original issue price.

The Fund is focused on e-commerce real estate investment trusts (REITs) that the Advisor believes are well-positioned to benefit from the rapid adoption of e-commerce and the growth of data infrastructure as well as cyclical REITs with attractive valuations and exposure.
