PIMCO Canada Corp. (the "Manager") is pleased to announce the closing of the
initial public offering of PIMCO Global Income Opportunities Fund (TSX: PGI.UN)
(the "Fund"). Pursuant to the offering, the Fund issued an aggregate 60 million
Class A Units (the "Class A Units") at a price of $10 per Class A Unit for gross
proceeds of $600 million. The Class A Units are listed on the Toronto Stock
Exchange under the symbol PGI.UN.


The Fund has been created to invest in an actively managed portfolio (the
"Portfolio") comprised primarily of fixed-income securities selected from
multiple global fixed-income sectors. The Manager has retained Pacific
Investment Management Company, LLC ("PIMCO") to provide investment management
services to the Fund.


The Fund's investment objectives are to:

(a) provide unitholders with monthly cash distributions; 
(b) maximize total return to unitholders through distributions and capital
appreciation; and 

(c) preserve capital.

The Fund will not have a fixed monthly distribution amount but intends to make
cash distributions monthly. The Fund's monthly distributions are initially
targeted to be 6.5% per annum on the original subscription price (or $0.05417
per Class A Unit per month or $0.65 per annum).


The syndicate of Agents was co-led by RBC Capital Markets, CIBC, TD Securities
and National Bank Financial, and includes Scotiabank, BMO Capital Markets,
