Marketwired Canada


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


(TSX VENTURE:MWI.UN) (formerly HG.P) Maplewood International Real Estate
Investment Trust (the "REIT"), announced today the completion of its Qualifying
Transaction (as described in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV")
Corporate Finance Manual), previously announced in the news release of Holland
Global Capital Corporation (the "Corporation") on April 23, 2103. The Qualifying
Transaction remains subject to receipt of final approval of the TSXV through the
issuance of the TSXV's final exchange bulletin regarding the Qualifying
Transaction (the "Final Exchange Bulletin"), which is expected on or about
September 18, 2013. The Corporation was reorganized into the REIT by way of a
plan of arrangement under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)
(the "Arrangement"), as previously announced in the news release of the
Corporation on September 10, 2013. The Arrangement was approved pursuant to a
final order issued by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) on
September 9, 2013. Following the issuance by the TSXV of the Final Exchange
Bulletin, the units of the REIT will begin trading under the symbol "MWI.UN",
which is expected to occur upon the open of market on or about September 20,
2013.


Pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, the REIT acquired an industrial income
producing property in the Netherlands (the "Property") for a purchase price of
approximately $9.3 million (approximately EUR6.75 million), subject to customary
adjustments. The purchase price for the Property, representing a capitalization
rate of approximately 8.3% (before transaction costs), was financed by new
mortgage financing of approximately $5.5 million (approximately EUR4.0 million),
with the balance in cash. The mortgage financing rate is approximately 3.9% for
a 5-year term, with a principal amortization period of approximately 33 years.
Based on the capitalization rate and the mortgage financing rate, the resulting
investing spread to the REIT from the purchase of the Property is approximately
440 basis points. A copy of the sale and purchase agreement in connection with
the acquisition of the Property is available on the REIT's profile at
www.sedar.com.


Description of the Property

The Property is located at Einsteinstraat 1 in s'-Gravenzande, the Netherlands,
approximately 30 kilometres northwest of Rotterdam, the second the largest city
in the Netherlands and home to the largest port in Europe, and approximately 16
kilometres southwest of The Hague, the third largest city in the Netherlands and
home to the Dutch government and parliament. The Netherlands, one of the core
founding members of the European Union, enjoys an elite sovereign credit rating
status, with across-the-board AAA sovereign credit ratings (S&P: AAA, Fitch:
AAA, Moody's: Aaa).


The Property is a large-scale industrial complex, comprised of approximately
130,405 square feet of gross leasable area (approximately 12,115 square metres),
of which approximately 20,785 square feet (approximately 1,931 square metres)
are used for an integrated 3-storey office building. The Property is 100% leased
pursuant to an annual inflation-indexed lease with a remaining lease term of
approximately 8 years, and with unlimited automatic five-year renewal terms, to
Rexnord FlatTop Europe B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rexnord Corporation
("Rexnord"), a leading global industrial components company headquartered in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with approximately 7,300 employees worldwide. Rexnord has
a corporate history dating back to 1892 and is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, with a market capitalization of approximately US$2 billion.


The Property serves as a mission critical facility for Rexnord within its
Process & Motion Control division, specifically to design, manufacture, market
and service specified highly-engineered mechanical components known as flattops,
which are used within complex conveyor chain systems. The Property is
strategically located in a prominent industrial zone and is surrounded by major
transportation arteries.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

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
conditionally 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 the REIT to issue additional equity to existing unitholders.


About Maplewood International REIT

The REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust
established under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The REIT was formed to
indirectly acquire the Property pursuant to the Arrangement. Following final
approval of the TSXV of the Qualifying Transaction, the REIT will focus on

Europe, with an initial focus on the Netherlands, and such other jurisdictions
