No reliance may be placed for any purpose whatsoever on the information contained in this presentation or the completeness or accuracy of such information. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is given by or on behalf of Nexus REIT (the “REIT”), or its unitholders, trustees, officers or employees or any other person as to the accuracy or completeness of the information or opinions contained in this presentation, and no liability is accepted for any such information or opinions. This presentation contains forward-looking statements which reflect the REIT’s current expectations and projections about future results. Often, but not always, forward- looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “estimates”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the REIT to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to: the ability of the REIT to obtain necessary financing or to be able to implement its business strategies; satisfy the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange with respect to the plan of arrangement; obtain unitholder approval with respect to the plan of arrangement; the level of activity in the retail, office and industrial commercial real estate markets in Canada, the real estate industry generally (including property ownership and tenant risks, liquidity of real estate investments, competition, government regulation, environmental matters, and fixed costs, recent market volatility and increased expenses) and the economy generally. While the REIT anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its views to change, the REIT specifically disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the REIT’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Although the REIT has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forwardlooking statements. The factors identified above are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the REIT. This presentation includes industry data and forecasts obtained from independent industry publications, market research and analyst reports, surveys and other publicly available sources and in certain cases, information is based on the REIT’s own analysis and information or its analysis of third-party information. Although the REIT believes these sources to be generally reliable, market and industry data is subject to interpretation and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. Accordingly, the accuracy and completeness of this data is not guaranteed. The REIT has not independently verified any of the data from third party sources referred to in this presentation nor ascertained the underlying assumptions relied upon by such sources.
