TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2016 /CNW/ - NorthWest Healthcare Properties
Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX: NWH.UN), Canada's leading global diversified
healthcare real estate investment trust announced today that it has filed a preliminary base shelf prospectus with the securities
regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The preliminary base shelf prospectus has not yet
become final for the purpose of the sale of securities. The intention of the base shelf prospectus is to allow the REIT to more
quickly access capital when market opportunities permit.
Once receipts for the final base shelf prospectus are obtained from the applicable securities regulators, the final base shelf
prospectus will be valid for a 25-month period, during which time the REIT may offer and issue, from time to time, trust units,
debt securities, warrants and subscription receipts, or any combination thereof, having an aggregate offering price of up
to C$750,000,000. Any issue of securities under the shelf prospectus will require the filing of a prospectus supplement
that will include the specific terms of the securities being offered.
No securities may be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time at which receipts for the final base shelf
prospectus are obtained from the applicable securities regulators. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation
or sale would be unlawful.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy in the United States and
the securities referred to in this news release may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws.
