(TSX:SBC)(TSX:SBC.PR.A) At a special meeting of preferred and class A
shareholders ("Shareholders") of Brompton Split Banc Corp. ("SBC") held today,
Shareholders approved a special resolution to extend the term of SBC for up to 5
years beyond the scheduled termination date of November 30, 2012 and thereafter
for successive terms of up to 5 years as determined by the SBC board of
directors. The extension allows Shareholders to continue to enjoy the benefit of
SBC's portfolio of common shares of six Canadian banks (Bank of Montreal,
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, National Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of
Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and The Toronto-Dominion Bank). Canadian banks
have stood out amongst their global peers as examples of stability over the long
term and through the credit crisis and continue to maintain attractive dividend
yields and return on equity. Shareholders will continue to have monthly and
annual retraction rights except that the annual retraction date will be advanced
forward from the second last business day of December to the second last
business day of November commencing in 2013. 


In addition to the daily liquidity provided by the TSX listings, shareholders
who do not wish to continue their investment may redeem either their preferred
shares or class A shares on November 30, 2012 and each extension of the term
thereafter on the same terms that currently exist. SBC will announce the term of
the initial extension by news release no later than October 1, 2012. Further
details are available in the management information circular dated March 1,
2012.
