By Kenneth Lim

Boston, Feb. 15 - Temple Real Estate Investment Trust on Thursday closed its maximum C$14 million of five-year convertible subordinated debentures on Thursday, at a coupon of 7.5% and an initial conversion premium of 15%.

The convertibles were offered on a best-efforts basis, with a minimum of C$10 million and a maximum of C$14 million. There is an over-allotment option for a further C$1.68 million.

Temple concurrently sold C$29 million of its common stock, or 5.8 million units, at C$5 apiece.

Blackmont Capital Inc. was the lead placement agent of the convertible and stock offerings, which were sold under Regulation S.

The debentures are non-callable for the first three years. They are callable in the fourth year subject to a hurdle at 125% of the conversion price and are freely callable after that. There are no puts.

Temple, a Winnipeg, Man.-based real estate investment trust that focuses on hotel properties, will use the proceeds of the deals to buy additional hotel properties and assets and for general purposes.
