Attention Business Editors:
Cinram International Income Fund Extends Small Unitholder Program
TORONTO, Feb. 22 /CNW/ - Cinram International Income Fund (the "Fund")
(TSX: CRW.UN) today announced an extension to the small unitholder selling
program (the "Program") that enables registered and beneficial unitholders who
owned 99 or fewer units of the Fund as of December 20, 2006, to sell their
units without incurring any brokerage commission. The Program's aim is to
reduce unitholder servicing and other related costs. Cinram has retained
Georgeson Shareholder Communications Canada Inc. ("Georgeson") to manage the
Program and to handle transactions and payment. The sale of units will be
executed through the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The voluntary Program which initially began on December 22, 2006, has
been extended and will expire at 5 p.m. ET on March 22, 2007. The Program is
designed to assist eligible registered holders (and beneficial holders of
units held in nominee form) in selling their units without incurring any
brokerage commissions. Payment for units sold under the Program will be mailed
approximately five business days after the sale. More information about the
Program, including participation documents, will be forwarded to eligible
unitholders in the coming weeks.
All units received through the Program will be gathered into board lots
(100 or more units) and sold no later than 12 p.m. on the next business day on
the TSX. The price of the units will be set at the average price received for
all units sold on a given day. For the convenience of unitholders who are
residents of the United States, the proceeds will be converted into U.S. funds
at the prevailing conversion rate at the time of sale.
Cinram is pleased to make this voluntary Program available to its
unitholders; however, the Fund makes no recommendation as to whether eligible
unitholders should participate in the Program. The decision to participate
should be based upon the unitholders' particular circumstances. Eligible
unitholders may wish to obtain advice from their financial advisor prior to
participating.
For questions about the Program, please contact Georgeson Shareholder
Communications Canada Inc. toll-free at 1-866-568-7418 or collect at (416)
847-7147 outside of North America.
