TORONTO, ONTARIO is pleased to announce that at a special
meeting held today, the unitholders of Sentry Select FIDAC U.S.
Mortgage Trust (TSX: SSF.UN) (the "Terminating Fund") approved the
merger of the Terminating Fund with Sentry Select MBS Adjustable
Rate Income Fund II (TSX: MGS.UN) ("ARIF II") (the "Merger").
Completion of the Merger
The effective date of the Merger is expected to be on or about
March 7, 2008. The Terminating Fund will transfer all of its assets
to ARIF II in exchange for units of ARIF II and the assumption by
ARIF II of all the liabilities of the Terminating Fund. Each
unitholder of the Terminating Fund will receive units of ARIF II
having the same aggregate net asset value as their units of the
Terminating Fund as of the close of business on the day prior to
the Merger date.
The proposed Merger is subject to the acceptance and approval by
the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").
The Merger
The Manager believes that the Merger will result in significant
benefits to unitholders for the following reasons:
- The larger, combined ARIF II will have the advantage of
increased economies of scale and lower proportionate fund operating
expenses;
- The Merger will eliminate the administrative and regulatory
costs of operating separate investment funds;
- The Merger will provide greater liquidity on the TSX resulting
from a greater market capitalization;
- Unitholders of the Terminating Fund will receive distributions
more frequently since ARIF II pays distributions monthly while the
Terminating Fund pays distributions quarterly; and
- The Merger will provide greater stability and predictability
of distributions for the Terminating Fund unitholders, since ARIF
II distributions are targeted to approximate the average 10-Year
U.S. Treasury Note yield plus 3%, whereas the Terminating Fund has
no targeted yield.
Costs of the Merger
All costs and expenses associated with the Merger will be borne
by the Manager.
