TORONTO: Sentry Select Capital Corp. (“Sentry Select” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce the Exchange Ratios for 130/30 Mining LP (the “Partnership”) exchange option as announced in the preliminary prospectus of the offering dated April 21, 2008. The Partnership will issue Class A Units and Class F Units (collectively, the “Units”).
Cash option: Prospective purchasers may still purchase Units by cash payment until closing. The offering price is $10.00 per Class A Unit and $10.00 per Class F Unit.
Exchange option: The exchange option was open for acceptance by holders of Eligible Securities until 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on May 27, 2008 (the “Deposit Date”).
Investment objectives: The Partnership will invest in an actively managed long/short portfolio consisting primarily of equity and debt securities of metals and minerals mining and exploration issuers that are listed on a North American stock exchange using a 130/30 approach with the view to:
- providing limited partners with monthly cash distributions of 8% per annum (approximately $0.0667 per month) based on the initial price of Units; and
- enhancing the net asset value of the Partnership.
Exchange Ratios: The number of Units issuable for the Eligible Securities of an Exchange Issuer deposited by a prospective purchaser pursuant to the Exchange Option was determined by dividing the weighted average trading price of the Eligible Securities of such Exchange Issuer on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the three consecutive trading days ended on May 27, 2008, as adjusted to reflect distributions declared by an Issuer that will not be received by the Partnership; by $10.00.
Issuers and Exchange Ratios: The following table sets out the weighted average trading price of each Eligible Security and the Exchange Ratios used to determine the number of Units to be issued for each Eligible Security. The Exchange Ratios and other information disclosed below will be included in the final prospectus to be filed with the securities regulatory authorities across Canada. The Exchange Ratios are rounded down to four decimal places.
