PRESS RELEASE

Notice of Intention to close Series O EdgePoint Portfolios

TORONTO, February 24, 2017 – EdgePoint Wealth Management (“EdgePoint”) announced today that it will close Series O of all EdgePoint Portfolios on or about May 1, 2017.

The decision to close Series O was based on the narrowing of the management expense ratio (“MER”) difference between Series O and EdgePoint’s other fee-based Series F and F(N). Since the launch of Series O in 2009, the MER for all Series of EdgePoint’s Portfolios has been declining as a result of growth and economies of scale. The small difference no longer justified the costs associated with managing a separate series for all four Portfolios.

All Series O units will be converted to the same Portfolio’s Series F or F(N) units. The conversion rate will be based on the closing net asset value (“NAV”) of the series on the day of conversion. Since the NAVs between the two series are different, the post-conversion unit balance will change, however the market value will remain the same. The transaction will have no tax implications. Any existing Series O automatic purchase and withdrawal plans will continue with the new Series F or F(N) units.

The Independent Review Committee (“IRC”) of EdgePoint’s Portfolios reviewed the proposed termination of Series O and is satisfied that the steps being taken achieve a fair and reasonable result for unitholders. This will have no impact on any of the other Series of EdgePoint’s Portfolios.
