PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS Initial Public Offering March 20, 2013 MELCOR REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST $ Š Š Units This prospectus qualifies the distribution (the “Offering”) of Š units (the “Units”) of Melcor Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”), a newly formed unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust established under, and governed by, the laws of the Province of Alberta. The REIT has been formed to own a portfolio of income producing properties, comprised primarily of retail, office and industrial properties. Concurrent with the completion of the Offering and related transactions (the “Closing”), the REIT will indirectly acquire, through a limited partnership (the “Partnership”), interests in a portfolio of 27 income producing properties located in Western Canada, comprised primarily of retail, office and industrial properties (the “Initial Properties”) currently owned, or co-owned, and operated by Melcor Developments Ltd. (“Melcor”, and where the context requires, together with its affiliates). See “Acquisition of Initial Properties”. On Closing, it is expected that Melcor will, through an affiliate, hold an approximate Š % effective interest in the REIT through ownership of all of the Class B LP Units of the Partnership (or an approximate Š % effective interest in the REIT if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full). The Class B LP Units are economically equivalent to, and exchangeable for, Units. In addition, Melcor will hold all of the outstanding Class C LP Units of the Partnership in respect of the Retained Debt (as defined below). See “Retained Interest” and “Distribution Policy”. The objectives of the REIT are to: (i) generate stable and growing cash distributions on a tax-efficient basis; (ii) enhance the value of the REIT’s assets and maximize long-term Unit value through active asset and property management; and (iii) expand the asset base of the REIT and increase AFFO per Unit primarily through acquisitions and improvement of its properties, including the Initial Properties, and through targeted and strategically deployed capital expenditures. See “The REIT – Establishment and Objectives”. The REIT initially intends to make monthly cash distributions of $ Š per Unit to holders of Units, which are estimated on an annual basis to be approximately 93% of AFFO of the REIT. See “Non-IFRS Measures”, “Financial Forecast” and “Distribution Policy”. The Initial Properties, assembled from Melcor’s portfolio of investment properties, are located in the Edmonton, Alberta region; the Calgary, Alberta region; Lethbridge, Alberta; Regina, Saskatchewan; and Kelowna, British Columbia; with approximately 1.57 million of owned square feet of GLA. See “Assets of the REIT”. The REIT’s growth strategy will initially be focused primarily on opportunities to acquire additional retail, office and industrial properties that satisfy the REIT’s investment criteria, as well as to generate greater cash flow from its properties. The REIT will seek to leverage its relationship with Melcor to access acquisition opportunities that satisfy the REIT’s investment criteria. Melcor’s current intention is to offer to sell to the REIT additional investment properties that it owns, has under development, and/or develops in the future, including some or all of the Retained Commercial Properties (nine in total) and the Properties Currently Under Development (eight in total), in one or more transactions over the next few years, subject to market conditions. In order to formalize this intention, Melcor will grant the REIT: (i) the Right of (continued on next page) Tradition. Growth. Results.
