KEYreit (TSX:KRE-UN.TO)- acknowledges the announcement made this morning by Huntingdon Capital Corp. ("Huntingdon") of its commencement of an unsolicited partial bid (the "Huntingdon Offer") for 6,628,940 units of KEYreit.

KEYreit is in the process of reviewing and evaluating the Huntingdon Offer with its financial and legal advisors. KEYreit expects that a special committee of its board will be appointed to assist the board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary duties in respect of the Huntingdon Offer and making every effort to maximize value for the benefit of KEYreit's unitholders and other stakeholders.
