TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 13, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Investors and investment advisors are invited to listen to an update on Brompton Oil Split Corp. (the "Fund") (TSX:OSP)(TSX:OSP.PR.A), including comments on current developments in the energy markets by Brompton's Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager Laura Lau. Investors may listen to the recorded update call on Brompton's website at www.bromptongroup.com. The Fund is available for purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols OSP (class A shares) and OSP.PR.A (preferred shares).

The Fund's portfolio has been reconstituted in order to position the Fund to benefit from emerging developments in the energy markets. The reconstitution was targeted to:

• increase exposure to refiners and integrated producers in order to benefit from strong refining margins;
• reduce exposure to Alberta as a result of uncertainty regarding the provincial royalty review;
• increase the exposure to low cost U.S. shale plays since these companies will be early beneficiaries of an oil price recovery; and
• replace holdings whose balance sheets have weakened in the current commodity price environment.

Following reconstitution, the portfolio is comprised of the shares of the following companies:

ARC Resources Ltd.		Cimarex Energy Co.		PrairieSky Royalty Ltd.
Canadian Natural Resources Limited		EOG Resources Inc.		Suncor Energy Inc.
ConocoPhillips		Husky Energy Inc.		Valero Energy Corporation
Crescent Point Energy Corp.		Keyera Corp.		Vermilion Energy Inc.
Chevron Corporation		Occidental Petroleum Corporation		Exxon Mobil Corporation
		Pioneer Natural Resources Co.
