The Board of Trustees of the Fund believe that, in view of the changes to the tax treatment of income trusts announced by the Federal government in October 2006, and continuing market uncertainty affecting the income trust sector, the market price of the Fund's Units may not adequately reflect the current value of, and prospects for, the Fund's business. As a result, the Board of Trustees believe that the Fund's outstanding Units may, at such times, represent an attractive opportunity to realize additional unitholder value and that purchases of Units at such times would be an appropriate and desirable use of the Fund's available resources. The Fund may commence purchases of Units on November 24, 2008, at times and in quantities determined by it. All purchases will be effected through the facilities of the TSX, and will comply with the regulations of a NCIB as defined by the TSX. Under the bid, up to 1,358,635 Units of the Fund may be purchased. This amount represents approximately 10% of the public float as of November 19, 2008. Until March 31, 2009, or as may otherwise be permitted by the TSX, the Fund may purchase up to 9,458 Units during any trading day, which represents 50% of the average daily trading volume for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to TSX acceptance of the notice of the NCIB. Thereafter, the Fund may purchase up to 4,729 Units during any trading day, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to TSX acceptance of the notice of the NCIB. This limitation does not apply to purchases made pursuant to block purchase exemptions. The Fund has 21,818,392 Units issued and outstanding as of November 19, 2008.
