The merger was implemented on a tax-deferred rollover basis for unitholders at an exchange ratio calculated as the net asset value ("NAV") per unit of each merging fund divided by the NAV per unit of ATF.UN, each determined as at the close of business on July 10, 2008. Immediately prior to the merger, the NAV per unit of ATF.UN was reconsolidated on a one to 1.615694 basis to reflect the NAV per unit of Brompton VIP Income Fund on the close of business on July 3, 2008 as these funds employ the same portfolio manager and investment strategy. Brompton Advantaged VIP Income Fund has a tax-advantaged structure in place such that distributions are primarily a return of capital. The table below provides the respective exchange ratios and NAV per unit for each of the Funds after effecting the reconsolidation noted above.
