Prince William Partnership, Kensington II Partnership, Moira Partnership Announce Proposed Unit Consolidation and Privatization


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 7, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Prince William Partnership, Kensington II Partnership, and Moira Partnership (individually the "Partnership", collectively the "Partnerships") announces that they will ask their unitholders (the "Unitholders") to vote on proposed going-private transactions by way of a consolidation of Partnership units (the "Units") in each Partnership at a ratio of one post-consolidation unit of Partnership (a "New Partnership Unit") for each 10 pre-consolidation Units (individually the "Consolidation", collectively the "Consolidations"). Under the Consolidations, fractions of New Partnership Units will be cancelled and Partnerships will pay consideration of $9,600, in the aggregate, for each Combined Unit(1). Any Limited Partner who would receive less than one New Partnership Unit will cease to be a unitholder of the particular Partnership.

The votes on the Consolidations will take place at special meetings of Unitholders to be held on February 8, 2011 (individually the "Meeting", collectively the "Meetings"). The terms of the Consolidations have been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the General Partner of each Partnership.

Each Consolidation must be approved by not less than two-thirds of Unitholders and by a simple majority of the votes cast by minority Unitholders present or represented by proxy at each Meeting. The Unitholders whose votes will not count as part of the minority include Highfield Limited Partnership and Realstar LP Holdings Inc. ("Realstar").

The Partnerships have entered into a support agreement with Realstar, which owns approximately 56% of the Units of the Partnerships. Following the Consolidations, Realstar will be the only Unitholder of the Partnerships.

If the Consolidation is approved at the Meetings, each Partnership will amend its Limited Partnership Agreement to effect the Consolidation. The Partnership will then apply to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada and ultimately revert to privately-held status. If approved, the Consolidation is anticipated to become effective on or about February 10, 2011.
