Forward - Looking Information

This website may include “future-oriented financial information” and “financial outlook information” as defined under Canadian securities laws as well as other forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively, the “forward-looking information”) with respect to Alignvest Student Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) and Canadian Student Living Group Limited Partnership (“CSL”). Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases including, but not limited to, “expects”, “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates”, “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates”, “believes”, “does not believe” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking information”. This information represents predictions and actual events or results may differ materially.

Forward-looking information may relate to the REIT’s and CSL’s future outlook and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding respective financial results, future financial position, expected growth of cash flows, business and marketing strategy, budgets, receipt of regulatory approvals such as zoning approvals, anticipated timeline for completion of acquisitions or development of assets, projected costs, projected capital expenditures, taxes, plans, industry trends (including trends in asset prices), anticipated accrual of asset value and growth opportunities. Any forward-looking information contained on this website is based on certain assumptions regarding expected growth, results of operations, performance, industry trends and growth opportunities as described in greater detail in the current offering memorandum of the REIT as may the same may be amended, restated or supplemented from time to time (the “Offering Memorandum”).

While management of the REIT considers these assumptions to be reasonable, based on information available, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the REIT and CSL to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Please refer to the risk factors set out under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Offering Memorandum.

Although the REIT and CSL have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Any forward-looking information contained on the website is current only as of the date such information is posted to the website and the REIT and CSL, their respective trustees, directors, partners, officers and employees, as applicable, disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, users of this website should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

Forward-looking information and other information contained herein concerning the real estate industry is based on estimates prepared by management of the REIT using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of the industry which management believes to be reasonable. While management of the REIT is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data or comparables presented herein, industry data and comparables are subject to change based on various factors. Neither the REIT nor CSL has independently verified any of this data from independent third party sources.
