Dominion Citrus Income Fund (TSX:DOM.UN) and Dominion Citrus Limited (TSX:DMN.PR.A): Insurance Proceeds/Amendments to Credit Facility/Rights Offering Update

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 16, 2011) - Dominion Citrus Income Fund (the "Fund")(TSX:DOM.UN) and Dominion Citrus Limited ("DCL")(TSX:DMN.PR.A)(together the "Company" or "Dominion") jointly announce an agreement with one of their main insurers for payment to the Company of $712,106.65 in insurance proceeds. In January 2011 the Company identified a long trail of suspicious transactions over the years 2003 to 2010, originated by a then existing finance employee. The Company has conducted a formal investigation which culminated in a proof of loss being submitted to its insurer under its crime insurance bond. After review and investigation by the insurer, it was determined that the events qualified for restitution to the Company. The Company has executed a release and subrogation agreement and awaits final payment within 30 days.

The Fund and DCL also jointly announce an agreement with Dominion's principal bank to amend the Company's credit facility by reducing the limit to the amounts of the two letters of credit currently outstanding of $482,000. This limit will be further reduced as and when the letters of credit expire and then cancelled in its entirety by October 1, 2011. The facility has not been drawn upon over the last two years.

Given the insurance proceeds and operating improvements at DCL, the Fund has determined that the Rights Offering, as first announced in December 2010, will be foregone at this time. The Company presently feels that it has the liquidity in place to execute on its 2011 business plan.
