Wilmington Capital Management Inc. ("Wilmington") (TSX: WCM)(TSX:
WCM.A)(TSX: WCM.B) announced today that through a private real
estate trust in which Wilmington has an interest (the "Trust") it
has acquired (the "Acquisition") a 46.15% indirect interest in a
portfolio of 5 self-storage facilities and 2 development properties
located in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario (the "Property
Portfolio"). The Trust will itself hold the Property Portfolio
through a subsidiary limited partnership (the "Partnership"). The
aggregate cost of the Property Portfolio will amount to
approximately $22,500,000 and is funded by way of an assumption of
debt, equity of $5,000,000, funds from the Trust of $400,000 and a
bridge loan in the amount of $3,250,000. Wilmington's share of the
cash consideration to complete the Acquisition is $4,125,000 which
is being funded by providing equity to the Trust in the amount of
$2,500,000 and a bridge loan to the Trust in the amount of
$1,625,000. An additional 46.15% indirect interest will be acquired
by another investor and its share of the cash consideration to
complete the Acquisition is $4,125,000 which is being funded by
providing equity to the Trust in the amount of $2,500,000 and a
bridge loan to the Trust in the amount of $1,625,000.
The Partnership has also entered into two term credit facilities
(the "Term Facilities") in the amount of $12,500,000 and
$1,350,000, respectively. The Term Facilities are secured by
certain of the properties in the Property Portfolio.
The Partnership and the Property Portfolio will be
professionally managed by Real Storage Management Inc., an entity
whose purpose is to provide management services to the Partnership
and other self-storage facilities owned by the Trust. Wilmington
believes the Acquisition is a major step in meeting its principal
objective of acquiring and holding assets that are capable of
providing stable cash flows and value creation over the longer

opportunities to invest in additional properties in the Canadian
self-storage industry that meet its objectives.
