First Capital Realty Inc TM FIRST CAPITAL REALTY INC. NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 10, 2019 This Management Information Circular requires your immediate attention. If you are in doubt as to how to deal with this document, the documents referred to herein or the matters to which they refer, please consult your professional advisors. YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE VOTE TODAY. October 25, 2019 85 Hanna Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario M6K 3S3 T 416.504.4114 F 416.941.1655 TF 1.877.504.4114 www.fcr.ca October 25, 2019 Dear Fellow Shareholder: We are pleased to invite you to attend a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares (the “Common Shares”) of First Capital Realty Inc. (the “Company”) to be held at the offices of Torys LLP, 79 Wellington Street West, 33rd Floor, TD South Tower, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5K 1N2 on December 10, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time). At the Meeting you will be asked to approve a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) to convert the Company into a publicly traded real estate investment trust named First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”). The accompanying notice of special meeting (the “Notice of Meeting”) and the management information circular (the “Circular”) contain a detailed description of the Arrangement and set forth the actions to be taken by you at the Meeting. You should carefully consider all of the relevant information in the Notice of Meeting and the Circular and consult with your financial, legal or other professional advisors if you require assistance. Upon completion of the Arrangement, the REIT will carry on indirectly all of the business and activities currently carried on by the Company, all of the directors of the Company will serve as the initial trustees of the REIT, all officers of the Company will serve as the officers of the REIT and the REIT will become co-principal debtor, with the Company, of the Company’s outstanding senior unsecured indebtedness. Despite the structural changes described in the Arrangement, the proposed REIT structure will not result in a change in the Company’s strategy, portfolio or operations. The strategy of the REIT will remain consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed super urban strategy. We understand that the Company’s dividends are important to Shareholders. The conversion to a REIT will not change the rate of annual distributions to investors. The REIT’s distribution policy will remain consistent with the Company’s current dividend policy except that distributions will be paid monthly rather than quarterly. The initial monthly distribution of $0.0716 per REIT Unit will be declared on or prior to December 31, 2019 to unitholders of record on December 31, 2019 and is expected to be paid in January 2020. Following this, the REIT expects to pay monthly distributions of $0.0716, or $0.86 per REIT Unit on an annualized basis, the same level as the Company’s current annual dividend rate per Common Share. In lieu of the Company’s fourth quarter 2019 dividend, the REIT intends to declare three monthly distributions which includes the initial distribution that will be paid in January, and subsequent distributions that will be paid in February and March, 2020. After careful consideration, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) unanimously has determined, based upon consultation with its legal and financial advisors, and based in part on the fairness opinion received from Blair Franklin Capital Partners Inc., as described in the Circular, that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement. The determination of the Board is based on various factors described more fully in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and Circular and includes the following anticipated benefits that the Company believes will enhance long-term shareholder value: • Expanding the Company’s investor base and profile through inclusion in various REIT-specific indices, REIT ETFs and REIT- dedicated investment funds; • Enhancing comparability with the Company’s peers; and • Providing a more efficient vehicle to deliver the benefits of urban real estate ownership from the Company’s business to investors. Each member of the Board has agreed to vote his or her Common Shares in favour of the Arrangement. - i - Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval by Shareholders as described in the Circular. If such approvals are obtained and the other conditions to the completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, closing of the Arrangement is expected to occur on December 30, 2019. Your vote is important. We urge you to vote FOR the Arrangement. The details of the Arrangement and the Meeting are described in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and Circular. Yours truly, FIRST CAPITAL REALTY INC. “Bernard McDonell” Bernard McDonell Chairman of the Board - ii - TM NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS You are invited to a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares (including common shares represented by Instalment Receipts (as defined herein), the “Common Shares”) of First Capital Realty Inc.
