On October 7, 2019, Summit Industrial Income REIT announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of an institutional quality portfolio of 37 light industrial properties in Calgary, Edmonton and Grande Prairie, Alberta totaling over 3.3 million square feet.

This acquisition was partially financed through a bought deal offering of 15,510,000 subscription receipts at a price of C$12.90 per receipt for gross proceeds of approximately C$200 million. Summit entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets to sell the receipts. On October 17, 2019, the underwriters exercised in full the over-allotment option granted to them by purchasing an additional 2,326,500 subscription receipts under the same terms and conditions. The total value of the transaction is approximately C$230 million.

Summit is an open-ended mutual fund real estate investment trust focused on growing and managing a portfolio of light industrial properties across Canada.

McCarthy Tétrault advised Summit in this bought deal offering with a team co-led by Heidi Gordon and Andrew Parker, that included Matt Vaughan and Sarah Ferguson (Business), Gabrielle Richards, Pat McCay and Justin Shoemaker (Tax), and Gordon Baird (Financial Services).
