RETRANSMISSION: OneREIT Announces Its Intention to Commence a Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 17, 2015) - OneREIT (the "REIT") (TSX:ONR.UN) announces its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"), subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The REIT intends to consider purchasing, from time to time over a period of 12 months, up to an aggregate maximum of 3,790,900 units, representing 5% of its issued and outstanding units as of August 14, 2015.

Purchases pursuant to the NCIB may commence through the TSX three trading days after the TSX accepts the Notice of Intention to Commence the NCIB. The NCIB will terminate twelve months thereafter or such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the option of the REIT. All purchases will be made through the facilities of the TSX at market prices and otherwise in accordance with the rules of the TSX. All units acquired under the NCIB will be subsequently cancelled. The REIT currently has 75,818,004 units issued and outstanding as of August 14, 2015.

The Board of Trustees of the REIT believes that, from time to time, the market price of the REIT's units does not adequately reflect the REIT's underlying value and future prospects and that, at such times, the purchase of the units represents an appropriate use of the REIT's financial resources and would be in the best interests of the REIT's unitholders.
