TORONTO, Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:ERE.UN, "ERES"), "ERES") is pleased to announce that the trustees of ERES have declared the August 2025 monthly cash distribution of €0.005 per Unit and Class B LP Unit (the "August 2025 Distribution"), being equivalent to €0.06 per Unit annualized. The distribution will be payable to holders of the Units and Class B LP Units (the "Unitholders") of record on August 29, 2025, with payment on September 15, 2025.
The Euro-denominated distribution will be paid in Canadian dollars based on the exchange rate on the date of payment (estimated C$0.00801 per Unit and Class B LP Unit). Registered Unitholders will be provided with an option to elect to receive such distribution in Euros rather than Canadian dollars. If no such election is made, registered Unitholders will be paid the distribution in Canadian dollars based on the above exchange rate mechanism. Beneficial Unitholders will not have an option to elect to receive the distribution in Euros. The final cash distribution in respect of July 2025 was C$0.00801 per Unit and Class B LP Unit.
As disclosed in its press release dated July 31, 2025, the Board of Trustees has announced an intention to cease ERES's regular monthly cash distributions, subject to completion of certain pending dispositions. The August 2025 Distribution is anticipated to be ERES's final regular monthly distribution.
