PVT.UN - <span class="simulate_din_font">Proventure Income Fund confirms transactions and provides guidance on January distribution</span> (CAD 1.41)

Company: Proventure Income Fund
Stock Name: PVT.UN
Amount: CAD 1.41
Announcement Date: 28/12/2011
Record Date: 19/12/2011

Dividend Detail:




Symbol: PVT.UN (TSX-V)



CALGARY, Dec. 28, 2011 /CNW/ - Due to the recent increase in market
price and level of trading activity of its units, Proventure Income
Fund ("Proventure") is confirming previously announced transactions
including the December 2011 special cash distribution, and is providing
guidance on the anticipated special cash distribution to be declared
and paid to its unitholders in January 2012 following the sale of
certain assets by Proventure to Cervus Equipment Corp. ("Cervus").



As announced by Proventure and Cervus on October 31, 2011, Proventure
and Cervus have agreed to complete a series of transactions, including
the sale from Proventure to Cervus of certain real estate assets that
Cervus currently leases from Proventure for the purposes of operating
Cervus' agricultural and construction equipment dealerships, for
consideration equal to approximately $25.90 million. From Proventure's
perspective, the transactions are necessary in order for Proventure to
qualify for the real estate investment trust exemption to the SIFT
rules under the Income Tax Act (Canada).



Following the completion of certain of those previously announced
transactions, on December 9, 2011 Proventure announced a special cash
distribution to Proventure unitholders of record at the close of
business on December 21, 2011 of $1.41 per unit. On December 14, 2011,
Proventure announced that this December 2011 cash distribution will be
paid to Proventure unitholders on or about December 28, 2011. The
source of the funds for this December 2011 cash distribution is the
cash portion of the proceeds from repayment by ProDev Trust of a
promissory note issued in 2010 in consideration for the purchase of
certain assets by ProDev from Proventure.



For the sale of the assets from Proventure to Cervus, Proventure has
received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange and
received the approval of its disinterested unitholders at a meeting
held on December 21, 2011. It is anticipated that the sale will be
completed in early January 2012. Proventure has agreed, following
completion of the sale of the assets to Cervus, to declare a special
cash distribution to its unitholders in January 2012 in an amount to be
determined. The source of the funds for the January 2012 cash
distribution is expected to be the cash portion of the proceeds from
the asset disposition. Proventure estimates the amount of the January
2012
cash distribution will be approximately $1.70, bringing the total
amount of combined distributions (i.e. the December 2011 cash
distribution plus the anticipated January 2012 cash distribution) to
$3.10.



Once these distributions are made, Proventure estimates that it will
have a net book value per unit of approximately $0.25.



Proventure encourages unitholders to refer to the press release dated
October 31, 2011 for more information.



Proventure is an open-ended mutual fund trust established under laws of
the Province of Alberta. Proventure is in the business of owning and
leasing commercial real estate and provides financing and leases real
estate to Cervus Equipment Corporation. The units of Proventure are
listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and trade under the symbol "PVT.UN".



This press release contains forward-looking statements subject to
various risk factors and uncertainties, which may cause the actual
results, performances or achievements of Proventure to be materially
different from any future results, performances or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

revenue stability and helps insulate the Company's cash flows from
market fluctuations. The Company is listed on the TSX and trades under

Toronto Stock Exchange: TGF.UN



TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2011 /CNW/ - Timbercreek Global Real Estate Fund (the
"Fund") is pleased to announce that its board of directors (the
"Board") has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.210 per class A
unit of the Fund ("Class A Units") and class B unit of the Fund ("Class
B Units") to be paid on January 13, 2012 to holders of Class A Units
and B Units of record on December 30, 2011. In addition, unitholders
will be allocated a foreign tax credit estimated to be approximately
$0.03 per Class A Unit and $0.03 per Class B Unit that relate to
withholding taxes previously paid by the Fund. As of December 19, 2011
there were 5,632,234 Class A Units and 1,063,693 Class B Units
outstanding.



About the Fund



The Fund, an investment fund formed under the laws of the Province of
Ontario and managed by Timbercreek Asset Management Ltd. (the
"Manager"), was established to invest in a globally diversified
portfolio of premier real estate securities (the "Portfolio"). The
Portfolio includes common equity, preferred shares and debt of both
public and private real estate investment trusts and real estate
companies in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Continental Europe,
Japan, Australia, Hong Kong and other countries.



The Manager believes there is a compelling investment opportunity to
invest in a globally diversified portfolio of premier real estate
securities that exists because the global real estate securities market
is inefficient relative to that of the direct real estate or broader
equities markets. Managed by a specialized real estate manager, the
Fund's unique investment strategy has been designed to capitalize on
these pricing inefficiencies in order to deliver a stable income stream
that can be acquired at a price that the Manager believes does not
reflect the long-term value of the underlying assets. Furthermore,
Fund Manager believes that the current volatility in global equity
markets provides the Fund with the rare opportunity to assemble a
global portfolio of prime real estate securities at prices that
generate attractive, stable yields with the potential for capital
appreciation.
