Canadian Warrants

The fund units and warrants will be sold to the public in the form of combined units at a price of $12 per combined unit. Each combined unit consists of one fund unit and one warrant. The combined units will separate immediately upon closing of the offering. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one fund unit at an exercise price of $12 on or before 5 p.m. (Toronto time) on Jan. 31, 2010. In accordance with the terms of the warrant indenture, since Jan. 31, 2010, is a Sunday, the fund has advised that the warrant agent will accept subscriptions until 5 p.m. (Toronto time) on Feb. 1, 2010.
Listing of the fund units and warrants will become effective at 5:01 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2009, in anticipation of the offering closing on Friday, Aug. 14, 2009. The fund units and the warrants, other than those which have not been distributed to the public, will be posted for trading at the opening on Aug. 14, 2009.
Registration of interests in, and transfers of, the fund units will be made only through the book-entry only system of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. Registration of interests in, and transfers of, the warrants will be made only through the book-based system of CDS. On the date of closing, the fund will deliver to CDS certificates representing the total number of fund units and warrants subscribed for under the offering. The fund units and warrants must be purchased, transferred and surrendered for redemption through a CDS participant. Upon purchase of any fund units and warrants, the unitholders or holders of warrants will receive only the customary confirmation.
The warrants will be governed by the terms of a warrant indenture to be dated the closing date of the offering, anticipated to be Aug. 14, 2009, between the fund and Equity Transfer & Trust Company as warrant agent. The warrant indenture provides for appropriate adjustments to the warrants in the event of stock dividends, subdivisions, consolidations and other forms of capital reorganization.
