The December 2025 distribution will be payable on January 15, 2026 to Unitholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2025.CAPREIT also announced that it has declared a special non-cash distribution of $0.90 per Unit, payable in Units of CAPREIT (the “Additional Units”) on December 31, 2025 to Unitholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2025 (the “Special Distribution”).
The Special Distribution is principally being made to distribute to Unitholders a portion of the net capital gains of CAPREIT realized during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2025, and will therefore be in the form of a capital gain to Unitholders for Canadian income tax purposes.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

The number of Additional Units to be issued will be based on the dollar amount of the Special Distribution divided by the closing price of the Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange on December 31, 2025.Immediately after the payment of the Special Distribution, the issued and outstanding Units of CAPREIT will be consolidated such that the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Units will be the same as immediately before the Special Distribution. For Unitholders who are residents of Canada for Canadian federal income tax purposes, the amount of the Special Distribution will increase the adjusted cost base of Unitholders’ consolidated Units. Unitholders who are not resident in Canada for Canadian federal income tax purposes may be subject to applicable withholding taxes in connection with the payment of the Special Distribution.CAPREIT cautions that the foregoing comments are not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any Unitholder. CAPREIT recommends that Unitholders consult their own tax advisors regarding the income tax consequences to them of the Special Distribution and related Unit consolidation.ABOUT CAPREITCAPREIT is Canada’s largest publicly traded provider of quality rental housing.
