The Terminating Funds transferred all of their assets to the Continuing Fund in exchange for units of the Continuing Fund and the assumption by the Continuing Fund of all the liabilities of the Terminating Funds. Each unitholder of the Terminating Funds received units of the Continuing Fund having the same aggregate net asset value as their units of the Terminating Funds as of the close of business on July 31, 2008.

Each unitholder of DIT II received 1.1865 units of the Continuing Fund in exchange for each unit of DIT II. Each unitholder of Alliance received 1.5816 units of the Continuing Fund in exchange for each unit of Alliance. Fractional units were not issued.

Special unit distribution

The Mergers triggered a tax year-end for the Terminating Funds. A special unit distribution was paid to all DIT II unitholders of record as of July 31, 2008. The distribution was paid in units, in the amount of $0.40 per unit. Following the distribution payment, the units were consolidated, resulting in no change in either the number of units or the net asset value per unit immediately following the transaction.

Throughout the year, DIT II realized capital gains from the sale of securities and must distribute the net income and net realized capital gains to unitholders to ensure that it will not be liable for income tax. The unit distribution represents the total remaining undistributed taxable income for the tax year.

The Mergers

The Manager believes that the Mergers will result in significant benefits to unitholders for the following reasons:

- The larger combined Continuing Fund will have the advantage of increased economies of scale and lower proportionate fund operating expenses.

- The Mergers will eliminate the administrative and regulatory costs of operating separate investment funds.

- Units of the Continuing Fund will have greater liquidity on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

- Units of the Continuing Fund have the support of a mandatory market purchase program, unlike capital units of Alliance.

Costs of the Mergers

All costs and expenses associated with the Mergers are borne by the Manager.

Alliance preferred securities

Alliance preferred securities, with a face value of $4,514,910, were called and repaid by Alliance in accordance with the trust indenture on August 1, 2008.
