TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 4, 2017) -

Not for distribution to U.S. newswire services or for dissemination in the United States.

Brompton Opportunities Fund Inc. (the "Corporation") announces that it intends to terminate and wind-up Brompton Energy Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") on or about January 31, 2017 (the "Termination Date"). The Fund generated a total return of 50.7% (Series A) in 2016; however, the Corporation believes it is in the best interests of shareholders to terminate the Fund based on its small size and the resulting higher management expense ratio.

The Corporation will not accept any new purchases of shares of the Fund. Series A, Series F, Series 2009 and Series 2010 shares of the Fund will be redeemed for cash based on the net asset value per share of each series as at the close of business on the Termination Date.

The Corporation intends to mail each shareholder of the Fund a formal notice of the termination.
