unitholders vote in favour of its acquisition by CPP Investment Board and
Sterling Partners

Special Meeting to be Held on November 24, 2009

TORONTO , Oct. 29 /CNW/ - Livingston International Income Fund (TSX: LIV.UN) ("Livingston") announced today that it has mailed its notice of special meeting and management information circular ("Circular") to unitholders, recommending that unitholders vote in favour of the acquisition of Livingston by CPP Investment Board and Sterling Partners.

The special meeting to consider the transaction is scheduled for November 24, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. EST at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LLP in Toronto . Unitholders of record as at October 14, 2009 are eligible to vote.

The Circular has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and is also available from the Investor Relations section of Livingston's web site at www.livingstonintl.com.

Livingston's board of trustees unanimously supports the transaction and urges unitholders to review the Circular, which contains important information about the proposed transaction, including the background to the offer and the reasons why Livingston believes that the acquisition is fair to, and in the best interests of, unitholders.

"The transaction with CPP Investment Board and Sterling Partners emerged as the best alternative following a confidential targeted auction process initiated by the board of trustees in June 2009," said Peter Valentine , chairman of Livingston's board of trustees. "The all-cash offer, representing a significant premium over the volume-weighted average price of the units during the 30 trading days before the transaction was announced, provides certainty of value and liquidity to unitholders."

"In the absence of the transaction, unitholders face the risk that Livingston will be adversely affected by challenges associated with continued uncertain economic conditions worldwide," continued Mr. Valentine .

How to vote

Unitholders may attend the special meeting in person and should contact their broker, securities dealer, trust company or other intermediary well in advance of the special meeting to obtain information on how to vote in person. Alternatively, unitholders should exercise their right to vote by following the instructions provided with the Circular or by otherwise following instructions provided by their broker or other intermediary. Unitholders are advised to provide their voting instructions via Internet, telephone or mail. Details are explained in the Circular under the heading "General Proxy Matters".
