TORONTO , Feb. 11, 2026 /CNW/ - GO Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (the " REIT ") (TSX: GO.U) announced today that its operating subsidiary, GO Residential Operating LLC (" OpCo "), has agreed to issue on a private placement basis (the " Offering ") C$325 million principal amount of senior unsecured debentures maturing February 13, 2029 (the " Debentures "). The Debentures will be sold at par and are being offered on a private placement basis in each of the provinces and territories of Canada by a syndicate of agents led by CIBC Capital Markets (as Lead Bookrunner), and includes RBC Capital Markets (as Co-Lead Manager), BMO Capital Markets and Desjardins Securities.

"Today marks a pivotal moment for the REIT as we celebrate the pricing of OpCo's inaugural unsecured debenture offering, which garnered broad interest from top-tier institutional investors nationwide," said Joshua Gotlib, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of the REIT. "This achievement serves as another example of our prudent and proactive approach to the balance sheet, which includes diversification of our funding sources. The proceeds from today's offering strengthen our ability to execute on our growth initiatives and deliver significant value to unitholders."

Meyer Orbach, Chairman of the REIT, added: "The success of the offering, following receipt of an investment grade rating from Morningstar DBRS, is a powerful validation by the market of the quality of our assets, the resiliency of our business model and the expertise of our management team. Closing our inaugural unsecured bond offering represents the latest step in our commitment to become a preeminent owner and operator of luxury high-rise multifamily properties."

The Debentures will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 4.534% per annum, payable in equal semi-annual instalments in arrears on February 13 and August 13 in each year, commencing on August 13, 2026 until maturity, unless redeemed at an earlier date. The Debentures will be direct senior unsecured obligations of OpCo and will rank equally and rateably with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of OpCo, except to the extent prescribed by law.

In connection with the Offering, OpCo entered into a forward cross-currency interest rate swap whereby both the interest rate and principal of the Debentures are fully hedged. This results in gross proceeds of approximately US$240 million with the same principal maturity and a US$ equivalent swapped fixed annual interest rate of 5.552%.

It is a condition of closing of the Offering that the Debentures be rated at least BBB (low) with a Stable trend by Morningstar DBRS. OpCo intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay existing indebtedness under OpCo's credit facility and for general corporate purposes (including possible acquisitions and/or other investments). The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about February 13, 2026.

The Debentures have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " U.S. Securities Act "), or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States and, accordingly, may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in the U.S. Securities Act) except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. 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 Debentures in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
