TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 5, 2014) - As previously announced, Brompton Lifeco Split Corp. ("LCS" or the "Fund") (TSX:LCS)(TSX:LCS.PR.A) will hold a special meeting of shareholders on February 18, 2014 to consider the proposed extension of the term of the Class A Shares and Preferred Shares of the Fund. If approved, shareholders will be able to continue their investment in the Fund beyond its currently scheduled termination date of April 30, 2014. The proposed extension will not result in any changes to shareholder redemption rights and is subject to shareholder approval. In the event that the proposed extension is not approved by shareholders, the Fund will terminate and Class A and Preferred shareholders will receive net asset value per Class A and Preferred Share, respectively.
