Investors can redeem Class A Shares of CC&L Natural Resources Fund and use the proceeds to invest in the 2010 Partnership which is expected to close on April 22, 2010.

Each investor in the Partnership received approximately 2.5022 Class A Shares for each Partnership unit held. This ratio was determined based on the April 1, 2010 net asset value of the Partnership and of the Class A Shares which was $10.1436.
CC&L Natural Resources Fund is actively managed by the same team of portfolio managers at Connor, Clark & Lunn Investment Management Ltd. responsible for the investments of the Partnership and the 2010 Partnership. CC&L Natural Resources Fund seeks to generate long term growth by providing investors with exposure to Canadian natural resources companies.
