NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

DUNDEE INTERNATIONAL REIT (TSX:DI.UN) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to sell 11,700,000 units of Dundee International REIT (the "Units") on a bought deal basis at a price of $10.70 per Unit to a syndicate of underwriters led by TD Securities Inc. (the "Underwriters") for gross proceeds of $125,190,000 (the "Offering"). In addition, Dundee International REIT has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days following closing, to purchase up to an additional 1,755,000 Units which, if exercised, would increase the gross offering size to $143,968,500. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about June 6, 2013. The Offering is subject to certain customary conditions, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Dundee International REIT intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Units to fund future acquisitions and for general trust purposes.

Dundee International REIT has completed approximately $777.2 million of acquisitions to date in 2013, including the acquisition of the 1.5 million square foot SEB portfolio in Germany which was completed in March 2013. Dundee International REIT is currently at various stages of due diligence on property acquisitions located in Munich, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf and Hamburg, Germany with a combined purchase price of EUR269.3 million ($353.5 million). This includes two properties, one located in Stuttgart and the other in Munich, Germany for which Dundee International REIT is in exclusive negotiations. These two properties together comprise approximately 408,800 square feet of gross leasable area and have a weighted average occupancy of approximately 97%. The total combined purchase price for these properties is anticipated to be approximately EUR94.84 million ($124.5 million). The two properties are institutional quality assets having an average age of approximately 18 years. They are leased to a total of 18 tenants with a weighted average lease term of 6.5 years. The top three tenants of the properties include a German state tenant, a municipal government tenant and the financial arm of a major German manufacturer. Dundee International REIT is seeking to acquire these two properties at an average cap rate of 6.6% which represents a spread of over 400 basis points over the five year borrowing rate.

Dundee International REIT expects to continue its due diligence and negotiations in respect of these acquisitions and will actively pursue these and other acquisition and investment opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that any of these discussions will result in a definitive agreement or, if they do, what the terms or timing of any acquisition would be.
