Dundee Corporation to Make A Substantial Issuer Bid

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 12, 2011) - Dundee Corporation (TSX:DC.A)(TSX:DC.PR.A)(TSX:DC.PR.B) announced today that it intends to make a substantial issuer bid under which it will offer to purchase for cancellation up to 10,000,000 of its outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a purchase price of $23.75 per share, a 15% premium over the closing price on Friday, September 9, 2011. No minimum number of Shares need be tendered but the maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be purchased by Dundee under the Offer is 10,000,000, representing approximately 16.2% of the issued and outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Dundee expects to launch the Offer on September 13, 2011 and for it to expire at 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on October 19, 2011.

Ned Goodman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dundee said "We believe that the Company's balance sheet is sufficiently strong to offer this substantial issuer bid, which will provide an opportunity for those shareholders who require it to have increased liquidity during the current uncertain stock market environment". Mr. Goodman also stated that "Neither my family nor I will be tendering any of our shares to the substantial issuer bid and when we polled our directors and officers, none of them will be doing so either".

Neither Dundee nor its Board of Directors will make any recommendation to shareholders whether to tender or refrain from tendering their Subordinate Voting Shares to the Offer. Shareholders are strongly urged to consult their own financial, tax and legal advisors and to make their own decisions whether to tender or refrain from tendering their Subordinate Voting Shares to the Offer and, if so, how many Subordinate Voting Shares to tender.

This press release is for information purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any Subordinate Voting Shares.
