TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 20, 2015) -

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Quantum International Income Corp. ("Quantum" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:QIC) (TSX VENTURE:QIC.U) announces that it has filed an amended and restated preliminary short form prospectus (the "Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each provinces of Canada (except Québec) in connection with its previously announced public offering of 47,620,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of C$0.42 per Subscription Receipt, for gross proceeds of C$20,000,400 (the "Offering"). The Corporation has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,559,595 Subscription Receipts at the same price, exercisable in whole or in part, for a period of 30 days following the closing date.

Underwriting Agreement Amendment

In connection with the Offering, Quantum entered into an underwriting agreement with Mackie Research Capital Corporation and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (together, the "Underwriters"), for the purchase of the Subscription Receipts on a "bought deal" basis (the "Underwriting Agreement"). Such Underwriting Agreement has been amended (the "Underwriting Agreement Amendment") to, among other things, (i) provide for the internalization of the management services provided to Quantum by Quantum International Asset Management Corp., an external third party (the "External Manager"), pursuant to a management agreement dated August 28, 2014 between the Corporation and the External Manager (the "Management Agreement"), (ii) extend the date by which the Corporation shall have obtained a receipt from the Ontario Securities Commission (as principal regulator) in respect of the final short form prospectus from July 15, 2015 to July 21, 2015, and (iii) extend the date by which the Corporation and Underwriters shall have closed the Offering from July 21, 2015 to July 28, 2015.

For additional information relating to the Offering and the External Manager Internalization (as defined herein), please refer to the Prospectus and Underwriting Agreement Amendment.

Internalization of Management Agreement

The Underwriting Agreement Amendment provides that it shall be a condition of the release of the proceeds of the Offering from escrow (other than the $4,000,080 which will be released to the Corporation on the date of the Offering) that the Corporation shall have acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of the External Manager from the holders thereof in exchange for an aggregate of 11,000,000 common shares (the "EM Shares") of Quantum (the "External Manager Internalization"). The External Manager Internalization will enable the Corporation to internalize the management services currently being provided to the Corporation by the External Manager under the Management Agreement. Upon the completion of the External Manager Internalization, the Management Agreement will be terminated.

The EM Shares will be held by entities jointly controlled by two corporations, all of the outstanding shares of which are owned by separate trusts, the beneficiaries of which are members of the families of each of Grant White or Manu Sekhri, on a 50/50 basis, respectively. Grant White is the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Corporation, and Manu Sekhri is the President and a director of the Corporation. As a result of the relationships noted above, the completion of the External Manager Internalization by the Corporation will constitute a "related party transaction" between the Corporation and the External Manager for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). In completing the External Manager Internalization, the Corporation intends to rely on Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 and Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the External Manager Internalization, nor fair market value of the Internalization Shares, will exceed 25% of Quantum's market capitalization.

The completion of the External Manager Internalization is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, which will be conditional on the Corporation receiving the approval of a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the Corporation to the issue of the Internalization Shares (the "Internalization Shareholder Approval"). The Internalization Shareholder Approval is expected to be obtained by written consent of shareholders.

Concurrent with the completion of the External Manager Internalization, each of Grant White and Manu Sekhri is expected to enter into an employment or consulting agreement with the Corporation that will provide for an annual salary payable in an amount consistent with such individual's peer comparator group, as determined by a majority of the independent directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably.
