On March 10, 2021, Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund ("Chemtrade") announced that it completed its previously-announced public offering of 9,800,000 trust units at a price of C$7.15 per trust unit for gross proceeds of approximately C$70 million.

The trust units were sold on a bought deal basis to a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc., RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank and TD Securities Inc., and including Desjardins Securities Inc. and Raymond James Ltd.
