"CT REIT's growth and resilience drove strong results in Q1, reflecting the core attributes of our strategy and business model," said Ken Silver, CEO of CT REIT. "These attributes have once again given our Board the confidence to announce a distribution increase, the ninth since our IPO in 2013."
"As my retirement date at the end of May approaches, it is also with confidence that I hand over leadership of the REIT to Kevin Salsberg, and wish him and the entire team great success going forward," continued Silver.
"Looking ahead, our talented team, the strength of our portfolio and the growth opportunities tied to our strategic relationship with Canadian Tire Corporation give me optimism about CT REIT's future," said Kevin Salsberg, President and COO of CT REIT. "I would like to thank Ken for his considerable contributions to CT REIT since our IPO and for his continued guidance as he assumes the role of strategic advisor over the course of the next year."
