AG.UN Arctic Glacier Income Fund

Arctic Glacier Income Fund (CNSX:AG.UN) ("Arctic Glacier" or the "Fund")
announced today that a special committee of its board of trustees (the "Special
Committee") has authorized commencement of Phase II of the Sale and Investor
Solicitation Process ("SISP"). 


During Phase I of the SISP, Arctic Glacier's financial advisor, TD Securities
Inc. ("TD Securities") solicited and received non-binding letters of intent
("LOIs") from several interested parties to acquire or to invest in Arctic
Glacier. Alvarez & Marsal Canada Inc, (the "Monitor"), in consultation with TD
Securities, the Chief Process Supervisor and Arctic Glacier, determined that
multiple LOIs were qualified for inclusion in Phase II. As a result, TD
Securities and the Monitor recommended that the Special Committee authorize the
commencement of Phase II of the SISP.


Arctic Glacier, with the assistance of TD Securities, will now make additional
information available to parties invited to Phase II and will then seek
submission of binding proposals regarding a transaction with the Fund. Phase II
is expected to require a period of several weeks to complete and there can be no
assurance that any transaction may occur. 


"We are very pleased with the level of interest that surfaced in Phase I," said
Keith McMahon, President and CEO of Arctic Glacier. "We received indications of
interest from a large group of prospective acquirers and investors, and are
optimistic about Phase II of the process. We will continue to work with these
parties and expect to conclude a transaction for the benefit of all Arctic
Glacier stakeholders." 


Commenting on today's news release from Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. ("Reddy Ice")
in connection with their U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and interest in
a combination with Arctic Glacier, Mr. McMahon said, "We have received a
non-binding letter of intent from Reddy Ice. Reddy Ice is one of many parties
that have expressed interest in our process and from whom a non-binding letter
of intent was received. We do not intend to disclose the identities of any of
our Phase II participants."
