VANCOUVER, July 15, 2016
VANCOUVER, July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- City Office REIT, Inc. (NYSE: CIO) ("City Office" or the "Company") announced today that the Company, upon receiving a redemption request from certain limited partners of the Company's operating partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), has issued a total of 3,126,084 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"). The shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with such limited partners' redemption of a total of 3,126,084 units of limited partnership interest ("OP Units") in the Operating Partnership (the "Redemption"). The OP Units tendered by the limited partners were originally issued by the Operating Partnership as part of the Company's IPO formation transactions to certain affiliates of Second City Capital Partners II, Limited Partnership, a real estate focused private equity fund (together with its affiliates "Second City"). After giving effect to the issuance of the 3,126,084 shares of Common Stock issued in the Redemption, the Company has 24,681,602 fully diluted shares outstanding.
In addition, the Company announced that it has appointed Jeffrey D. Kohn to the Company's Board of Directors effective immediately. Mr. Kohn is the principal partner and president of MDC Property Services Ltd. ("MDC") and has over 25 years of experience in the real estate industry. MDC and its affiliates manage over $3.0 billion of commercial real estate across North America. Also, Second City has advised the Company that in two separate transactions, Mr. Kohn along with James ("Jim") Balsillie and entities affiliated with him, have purchased an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of Common Stock at $13.00 per share from Second City.
James Farrar, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We welcome Jeff as a new director. He has tremendous real estate expertise in many of our target markets and we expect him to make valuable contributions to our Board."
Furthermore, Second City has advised the Company that Second City distributed its 2,137,430 shares of Common Stock, including the shares received in the Redemption, to Second City fund investors.
Mr. Farrar continued, "While Second City was critical to the formation and early growth stage of the Company, the Company believes that this Redemption and distribution is an important step in our future as a public company. We believe that the Redemption and distribution benefits our shareholders by diversifying our shareholder base, and potentially increases shareholder liquidity going forward. We thank Second City and its investors, which include institutions and a number of prominent business people, for supporting the Company in its IPO and formative years, and we welcome these investors as our newest shareholders."
