Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this document constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to the Choice Properties REIT’s (the “Trust”) future outlook and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, budgets, litigation, projected costs, capital expenditures, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of or involving the Trust. Particularly, statements regarding future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for the Trust or the real estate industry are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘might’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘occur’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘intend’’, ‘‘estimate’’, ‘‘predict’’, ‘‘potential’’, ‘‘continue’’, ‘‘likely’’, ‘‘schedule’’, or the negative thereof or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The Trust has based these forward-looking statements on factors and assumptions about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs, including that the Canadian economy will remain stable over the next 12 months, that inflation will remain relatively low, that interest rates will remain stable, that tax laws remain unchanged, that conditions within the real estate market, including competition for acquisitions, will be consistent with the current climate, that the Canadian capital markets will provide the Trust with access to equity and/or debt at reasonable rates when required and that Loblaw will continue its involvement with the Trust. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based upon assumptions that management of the Trust believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Trust’s control, that may cause the Trust’s or the industry’s actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the factors discussed under ‘‘Enterprise Risks and Risk Management’’ section the Trust’s 2014 Second Quarter Report to Unitholders. The forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this document. Except as required by law, the Trust undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
