MISSISSAUGA, ON, Jan. 4, 2023
/CNW/ - R&R Real Estate Investment Trust (TSXV: RRR.UN) (the
"REIT") announces today that in order to comply with evolving TSX
Venture Exchange ("TSXV") rules relating to security-based
compensation, it has terminated its unit issuance plan for
non-executive trustees, which allowed non-executive trustees to
elect to receive all or a portion of their trustee retainer fees in
units of the REIT, rather than in cash. In lieu of the unit
issuance plan, the REIT has instead entered into units for services
agreements with each of its non-executive trustees who wish to
receive all or a portion of their trustee retainer fees for the
2022 year in units, rather than in cash. The units for services
agreements with each such non-executive trustee, which have been
conditionally approved by the TSXV, set out the dollar amount of
trustee fees to be paid in units. Details regarding the amount
elected by each of the non-executive trustees are set out
below:

The number of units issuable will be calculated using the
volume-weighted average trading price for the units of the REIT on
the TSXV for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of
issuance (provided that the price per unit shall not be less than
the maximum permitted discounted market price on the date of
issuance pursuant to the TSXV rules) and the daily average exchange
rate for CAD:USD reported by the Bank of Canada on the business day prior to the
issuance. The trust units that are issued will be subject to a four
month hold period. The issuances are expected to occur in early
January 2023.

material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion,
