FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Annual Report are considered “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable securities laws (“forward-looking statements”). This document should be read in conjunction with material contained in current consolidated financial statements of the Company along with the Company’s other publicly filed documents. Words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “aim”, “endeavor”, “project”, “continue”, “target” and similar expressions identify these forward-looking statements. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead reflect management’s expectations, intentions and beliefs concerning anticipated future events, results, circumstances, economic performance or expectations with respect to Tricon and its investments and are based on information currently available to management and on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management of the Company as of the date of this Annual Report, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The Company’s estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, include the various assumptions set forth herein, including, but not limited to the Company’s future growth potential; results of operations; future prospects and opportunities; demographic and industry trends; no change in legislative or regulatory matters; future levels of indebtedness; the tax laws as currently in effect; the continuing availability of capital; current economic conditions, including levels of inflation and the prevailing interest rate environment; and the anticipated impact and aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This Annual Report may include forward-looking statements pertaining to the following (see “Description of the Business” in the Annual Information Form (the “AIF”) of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023):

●The anticipated benefits of the go-private transaction with Blackstone (the “Go-Private Transaction”) to the Company and its shareholders; shareholder approvals, court approval and required regulatory approvals and other conditions required to complete the Go-Private Transaction; the anticipated timing of the completion of the Go-Private Transaction; future distributions by the Company; and the de-listing of the Company’s common shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange and the Company ceasing to be a reporting issuer; and the consequences to the Company and its shareholders if the Go-Private Transaction is not completed. Completion of the Go-Private Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions and there can be no assurance that it will be completed on the proposed terms, or at all, or that its effect on the Company or its shareholders will align with current expectations.

●Anticipated investment and operating performance (including, in particular: projected returns, timelines, development plans, the rollout of operational initiatives, sales expectations, unrealized investment value, and projected cash flows). These measures are based on Tricon’s own analysis of relevant market conditions and the prospects for its business and investments, and on projected cash flows and project plans for incomplete projects in its Investment Vehicles. Projected cash flows for properties under development are determined based on detailed quarterly and annual budgets and cash flow projections prepared by developers for all incomplete projects. Numerous factors may cause actual investment performance to differ from current projections, including those factors noted under “Risk Factors” in the AIF.

●Anticipated demand for single-family and multi-family rental properties, apartment suites and homebuilding, and any corresponding effect on occupancy rates and more generally on the Company’s performance. These statements are based on management’s analysis of demographic and employment data and other information that it considers to be relevant indicators of trends in residential real property demand in the markets in which the Company operates. Housing demand is dependent on a number of factors, including macroeconomic factors, many of which are discussed in the AIF under “Risk Factors”. If these or other factors lead to declining demand, occupancy and the pace or pricing of home sales may be negatively impacted, with a corresponding negative impact on the value of the Company’s assets and its financial performance.

●The pace of acquisition and the ongoing availability of single-family rental homes at prices that match the Company’s underwriting model. These statements are based on management’s analysis of market data that it considers to be relevant indicators of trends in home pricing and availability in the markets in which the Company carries on its business. Home prices are dependent on a number of factors, including macroeconomic factors, many of which are discussed in the AIF under “Risk Factors”. If these or other factors lead to increases in home prices above expectations, it may become more difficult for the Company to find rental homes at prices that match its underwriting model.

Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors, including those noted above, could cause Tricon’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by forward-looking statements in this Annual Report, including, without limitation, those listed under “Risk Factors” in the AIF.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove to be incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report. See “Risk Factors” in the AIF for a more complete list of risks relating to an investment in the Company and an indication of the impact the materialization of such risks could have on the Company, and therefore cause actual results to deviate from the forward-looking statements.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report are based upon what management currently believes to be reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report are made as of the date of this document and the Company does not intend to, or assume any obligation to, update or revise these forward-looking statements or information, to reflect new information, events, results or circumstances or otherwise after the date on which such statements are made to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law, including securities laws.
