TORONTO, July 7 /CNW/ - (TSX: PCU.UN, FPI.UN) - Premier Canadian Income Fund ("PCU") is announcing a change in the exchange ratio to be used in connection with its previously-announced merger with First Premium Income Trust ("FPI"). The merger was approved at a special meeting of unitholders of each fund on June 4, 2010 and has been completed with a June 30, 2010 effective date.
The exchange ratio is used to determine the number of units of PCU, the continuing fund, to which each holder of units of FPI is entitled to receive in connection with the merger.

The table below sets forth the recalculated net asset value per unit of each fund as of June 29, 2010 and the resultant exchange ratio that has also been recalculated.
Premier Canadian Income Fund - net asset value per unit $4.4166 First Premium Income Trust - net asset value per unit $10.4793 ---------- Exchange Ratio 2.372708
As a result, each unit of FPI entitles the holder thereof to 2.372708 units of PCU.
