Dominion Citrus Income Fund Receives a Letter of Intent to Acquire Units

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 30, 2015) - Dominion Citrus Income Fund (TSX:DOM.UN) (the "Fund") has received an unsolicited, non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") to acquire all of the units (the "Units") of the Fund, for a cash price of $0.35 per Unit.

The Trustees have responded to inform the bidder that the Trustees are not in a position to recommend the terms of the LOI to unitholders as the price offered was below the range of values for the Units based upon the valuation for the Fund's sole subsidiary, Dominion Citrus Limited ("DCL"), excluding DCL's debt held by the Fund, as determined by Klein Farber Corporate Finance Inc. ("Klein Farber") and published via Press Release on December 10, 2015. The Trustees have invited the bidder to provide an amended LOI offering a price within the range of values as provided by Klein Farber as well as suggesting other changes to the LOI that could potentially cause the Trustees to recommend the terms of a modified LOI for acceptance by the unitholders.

The Fund has also had conversations with two additional parties regarding their interest in bidding for either units of the Fund or assets of the Fund, but to date no formal correspondence has been received.

There is no assurance that any revised or other letter of intent will be received or, if received, that any agreement will be entered into or any transaction will be completed.
