MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 25, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Maplewood International Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX VENTURE:MWI.UN), announced today that it has amended its distribution policy whereby the REIT now initially intends to make monthly cash distributions of $0.02267 per unit to unitholders, representing an annualized distribution yield of approximately 8.5% based on the price of $3.20 per unit issued pursuant to the REIT's brokered private placement completed on September 10, 2013.

The first distribution will be for the period from completion of the REIT's qualifying transaction on September 16, 2013 to October 31, 2013, and will be paid on November 15, 2013, and is expected to be in the amount of $0.034005 per unit. The REIT intends to make subsequent monthly distributions, in the amount of $0.02267 per unit, commencing in December, 2013, subject to the discretion of the Board of Trustees.

Further information on the REIT's distribution policy can be found in the Management Information Circular dated August 8, 2013 filed by Holland Global Capital Corporation, the REIT's predecessor company, and available on the REIT's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

As previously announced on September 16, 2013, the REIT has also implemented a distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") effective as of September 9, 2013, which allows unitholders of the REIT the opportunity to acquire additional Units at a 3% discount to the weighted average closing price of the Units, for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of distribution declared by the REIT in respect of Units. The TSXV has approved the issuance of a total of 284,375 Units pursuant to the DRIP. The REIT will determine for each distribution payment date the amount of new equity, if any, that will be made available under the DRIP on that date. No assurances can be made that new Units will be made available under the DRIP on a regular basis, or at all. The DRIP provides an efficient and cost-effective way for existing unitholders to acquire additional units in the REIT.
