Redemption
The Fund’s Deed of Trust was amended and restated to ensure that there is no public or organized market for the trading of the Units, in order that the Fund was not considered to be a “SIFT” pursuant to the provisions of the Income Tax Act Canada. Accordingly, the amendments to the Deed of Trust included a provision that the consent of the Trustees of the Fund is required for any transfer of Units.
In addition, to address in part the loss of liquidity to Unitholders that resulted from the delisting, the Deed of Trust was amended to enhance the Fund’s redemption rights. The amendment increased the amount the Fund can make available to redeem Units, in cash, from $100,000 per month to $1,500,000 per month (subject to the Trustees discretion to exceed this amount). The amendments also provided for the Trustees to post a redemption price to be determined by the Trustees, from time to time, based upon the Fund’s tangible book value (the “TBV”), plus or minus 10% of the TBV, depending upon the Trustee’s view of the Fund’s business prospects and liquidity at a particular time. The Trustee’s also have the right, in their discretion, to immediately adjust the TBV for any sudden material events or changes in the business of the Fund. The detailed calculation of the TBV is more specifically set forth in the amended and restated Deed of Trust, a copy of which is available to any Unitholder, without charge, upon request.
The aggregate value of redemptions is determined on a monthly basis for approval by the Board of Trustees. Any Units tendered and accepted for redemption will be processed and cancelled by the tenth day of the month immediately following the tendering of same by Unitholders requesting their Units be redeemed.

Transfers of Units
Unitholders are still entitled to trade their Units through private sales, subject to the specific consent of the Trustees, and any restrictions which may apply to a specific selling Unitholder. However, the Units are not listed on any stock exchange and there is no other public market for trading the Units.
