By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, Dec. 8 – Morguard Real Estate Investment Trust priced a C$175 million bought-deal offering of 4.5% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due Dec. 31, 2021, according to a press release on Thursday.

RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities Inc. are leading the deal.

Morguard Corp. has agreed to purchase C$50 million of the debentures.

There is a C$26.25 million over-allotment option.

The paper is convertible into trust units at C$20.40 per unit, representing a 40% premium over Thursday’s closing share price of C$14.55.

The issue became callable on Nov. 1.

Any remaining funds will be used for debt repayment, for future acquisitions and for general trust purposes.
