Foremost Income Fund Reviews Redemption Price

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 17, 2015) - Foremost Income Fund ("Foremost" or the "Fund") reviews the redemption price pursuant to section 6.3 of the deed of Trust.

Redemption Price Determination Pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Deed of Trust

Pursuant to s. 6.3 of the Deed of Trust of the Fund dated November 12, 2005 as amended (the "Deed of Trust"), the Trustees are required to determine the redemption price to be paid in respect of units tendered for redemption, at an amount that is not less than 10% lower, nor more than 10% higher than, the tangible book value per unit of the Fund then in effect. The redemption price may be revised from time to time in the Trustees' discretion due to a Material Change (as defined in the Deed of Trust).

Due to concerns as to the potential impact of current and expected market conditions on the Fund's performance, and the resultant potential for an impairment of the value of the Fund's assets, in turn affecting the Fund's tangible book value, the Trustees have determined pursuant to s. 6.3 of the Deed of Trust that as of March 17, 2015, the Fund will redeem tendered trust units for $5.75 per unit.

This does not impact and is subject to the Trustees' earlier determination to set the cash limit for unit redemptions at $0.00, thereby providing that all redemptions received in the month of March, 2015, shall be redeemed in exchange for promissory notes, as disclosed in the press release and accompanying material change report issued on March 13, 2015.

This discussion is intended for summary purposes only and is subject in all respects to the Deed of Trust. The income and other tax consequences of holding, redeeming or disposing of units and acquiring promissory notes will vary depending on the unitholder's particular circumstances, including the jurisdiction(s) in which the unitholder resides or carries on business, and whether the unitholder is an RRSP, RESP, RRIF, PPSP or TFSA. Accordingly, this summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any prospective purchaser or any unitholder. All unitholders should consult their own legal and tax advisors prior to redeeming units of the Fund.
