/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, June 5, 2026 /CNW/ - Padlock Euro Storage Fund I (the "Fund") today announced that the Fund has declared a cash distribution (the "Final Distribution") on all of Class A, Class F and Class U units of the Fund (the "Units"). The Fund also announced that immediately following payment of the Final Distribution and payment of the Redemption Price (as defined below), it would redeem and subsequently cancel all issued and outstanding Units (the "Mandatory Redemption") in accordance with the third amended and restated declaration of trust of the Fund dated May 13, 2025, as amended.
In accordance with the post-closing adjustment procedures of the previously announced sale and purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which QR CS Padlock LP, an affiliate of QuadReal Property Group, indirectly acquired the Fund's portfolio of 27 self-storage and mixed-use properties located in the United Kingdom (the "Transaction"), the Fund received proceeds of approximately £16.4 million (the "Post-Closing Proceeds").
The Final Distribution represents the proceeds available for distribution on the Units following receipt of the Post-Closing Proceeds, after taking into account payment of further expenses and reserves maintained by or on behalf of the Fund in connection with the wind-up of the Fund (the "Wind-Up Reserves"). The Mandatory Redemption will be effected in connection with the payment by the Fund of a nominal amount per Unit (the "Redemption Price"), representing the remaining assets of the Fund after paying the Final Distribution and taking into account the Wind-Up Reserves.
The Final Distribution and Redemption Price per Unit for each class and series of Units of the Fund is set out below:
