• 95.3% of June 2020 rent received to date
• Monthly cash distribution of $0.0375 per unit declared

MONTREAL, June 18, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - PRO Real Estate Investment Trust ("PROREIT" or the "REIT") (TSX: PRV.UN) today announced its June 2020 distribution and provided an update on its June rent collections.

"We are pleased with our performance throughout the ongoing pandemic, with our strong rent collection trend continuing into the month of June. This reflects the soundness of the three pillars on which PROREIT is built: sound diversification by asset class, solid geographic positioning in strong secondary markets mainly in Central and Eastern Canada, and a robust tenant base," said James Beckerleg, President and CEO, PROREIT.

"We benefit from a stable portfolio and a defensive tenant roster, and we are particularly pleased with the resilience of our retail segment, mainly comprised of needs-based community services. We are also supporting our smaller tenants requiring assistance, both through the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program and the internal deferral arrangements we put in place," added Mr. Beckerleg.

"While we continue to adapt our near-term strategy to the current environment, we are confident that we are well-positioned to benefit from the gradual reopening of the economy," concluded James Beckerleg.
