(TSX:SSF.UN) Symphony Floating Rate Senior Loan Fund is pleased to announce that
it has filed a final prospectus with respect to a treasury offering of units,
with a maximum offering size of $56,045,000 (5,500,000 units). The Class A units
will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the existing symbol
SSF.UN. The Class U units are convertible into Class A units. The Class A and
Class U units are being offered at a price of $10.19 and US$10.19, respectively.
The offering price of the units was determined so as to be non-dilutive to the
most recently calculated net asset value per unit of the applicable class prior
to the filing of the final prospectus. 


The Fund's investment objectives are to (i) provide monthly tax-advantaged
distributions consisting primarily of returns of capital; and (ii) preserve
capital, in each case, through exposure, pursuant to a forward agreement, to an
actively managed, diversified portfolio consisting primarily of floating rate
senior corporate debt instruments, including senior secured loans and other
senior debt obligations of North American non-investment grade corporate
borrowers. The Fund's distribution target is $0.05833 per Class A unit per month
and US$0.05833 per Class U unit per month, consisting primarily of tax-efficient
returns of capital. The Manager hedges substantially all of the value of the
portfolio attributable to the Class A units to the Canadian dollar. The value of
the portfolio attributable to the Class U units is unhedged.
