Starlight U.S. Residential Fund Completes Sale of Property in Orlando, Florida Comprising 264 Multi-Family Residential Suites
The Loan matured on May 7, 2025 and the Fund was unable to meet the conditions required to extend the term under the loan agreement. Despite engaging in good faith negotiations, the lender was unwilling to modify or extend the term of the Loan without a significant principal paydown, which the Fund does not have the ability to satisfy. As a result, the lender required the Fund to proceed with the sale of the Property.

The agreement aims to create new opportunities for Canadian exporters and investors in key sectors including infrastructure, energy, retail, healthcare and financial services—areas where Canadian expertise aligns with Vietnam's development priorities. Under the MOU, EDC and VinaCapital will collaborate to support Canadian companies seeking to enter or expand their presence in Vietnam.

SmartSilk Corp. Announces Legal Filing Related to Unfulfilled Pandemic-Era PPE Order
MONTREAL, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SmartSilk Corp., a Canadian company that actively supported urgent public health procurement efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, has formally filed a legal claim in connection with a failed 2020 order for N95 respirators. In early 2020, as global demand for personal protective equipment surged, SmartSilk joined the worldwide effort to secure critical supplies for healthcare and front-line workers. Acting in good faith and under urgent conditions, the company placed a significant order for N95 respirators with a distributor that was publicly listed — in error — on Honeywell International Inc.'s procurement portal at the time. The presence of this supplier on a trusted platform was a key factor in the decision to proceed with the purchase during a period when reliable sources were scarce.
