SBC.PR.A Brompton Split Banc Corp

At a special meeting held on March 29, 2012, shareholders of Brompton Split Banc
Corp. (the "Fund") (TSX:SBC)(TSX:SBC.PR.A) approved a special resolution to
allow the Board of Directors to extend the term of the Class A Shares and the
Preferred Shares for up to 5 years and to determine the distribution rates for
the extended term. The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has
approved a 5 year extension to the term of the Class A Shares and Preferred
Shares to November 29, 2017. The Fund was originally scheduled to terminate on
November 30, 2012. The distribution rate for the Fund's Preferred Shares for
this new 5 year term which commences on December 1, 2012 will be $0.45 per annum
paid in equal quarterly amounts. The new Preferred Share distribution rate is
based on current market rates for preferred shares with similar terms. The
Preferred Share distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 is expected
to be $0.12493 per Preferred Share which takes into account the new distribution
rate for December and the previous distribution rate for October and November.
In addition, the Fund intends to maintain the targeted monthly Class A Share
distribution at $0.10 per Class A Share. 


The extension allows shareholders to continue to enjoy the benefit of the Fund'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. Canadian banks continue to have attractive dividend
yields and return on equity. As well, the extension of the term of the Fund is
not a taxable event and enables shareholders to defer potential capital gains
tax liability that would have otherwise been realized on the redemption of the
Class A Shares or Preferred Shares until such time as such shares are disposed
of by shareholders.


In connection with the extension, those shareholders who do not wish to continue
their investment in the Fund, may retract their Preferred Shares or Class A
Shares on November 30, 2012 pursuant to a special retraction right and receive a
retraction price that is calculated in the same way that such price would be
calculated if the Fund were to terminate on November 30, 2012. The notice expiry
for the special retraction is October 31, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time).
