MRRS DECISION DOCUMENT

Background

The local securities regulatory authority or regulator (the "Decision Maker") in each of the Jurisdictions has received an application (the "Application") from the Applicants (or "Dealer Managers") on behalf of the mutual funds listed in Appendix "A" hereto for which the Applicants currently act as manager or portfolio adviser or both (the "Existing Funds") and any other mutual fund subject to National Instrument 81-102 - Mutual Funds ("NI 81-102") which may be created in the future for which the Applicants or an affiliate thereof will act as manager or portfolio adviser or both (the "Future Funds", and together with the Existing Funds, the "Funds" or "Dealer Managed Funds"), for a decision under section 19.1 of NI 81-102 (the "Legislation") for:

• an exemption from subsection 4.1(1) of NI 81-102 to enable the Dealer Managed Funds to purchase equity securities (the "Securities") of a reporting issuer during the period of distribution (the "Distribution") of the issuer's Securities pursuant to a private placement offering (a "Private Placement") and for the 60-day period (the "60-Day Period") following completion of the Distribution (the Distribution and the 60-Day Period together, the "Prohibition Period"), notwithstanding that the Dealer Managers or the associates or affiliates thereof act or have acted as underwriter in connection with the Distribution (each a "Relevant Offering"), such relief referred to as the "Requested Relief".

Under the MRRS:

(a) the Ontario Securities Commission is the principal regulator for this Application, and

(b) this MRRS decision document evidences the decision of each Decision Maker.

Interpretation

Defined terms contained in the Securities Act (Ontario) or National Instrument 14-101 - Definitions have the same meanings in this decision (the "Decision") unless they are defined in this Decision.

Representations

This Decision is based on the following facts represented by the Applicants:

1. Each of the Dealer Managed Funds is or will be an open-ended mutual fund trust or corporation established under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Other than the BMO Harris Private Portfolios which are not reporting issuers in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Yukon, the securities of each of the Dealer Managed Funds are or will be qualified for distribution in the Jurisdictions pursuant to simplified prospectuses and annual information forms that have been prepared and filed in accordance with the securities legislation of the Jurisdictions.

2. The Applicants are or will be the manager or the portfolio adviser or both of the Dealer Managed Funds. The Applicants and/or their affiliates currently are, and will be in the future, "dealer managers" with respect to the Funds, and each Fund is or will be a "dealer managed fund", as such terms are defined in section 1.1 of NI 81-102.

3. CAMI is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada and holds a registration in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio manager" in Ontario. It also holds a registration in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio manager" or the equivalent in each of the other Jurisdictions. The head office of CAMI is located in Toronto, Ontario. CIBC is a Schedule 1 Canadian chartered bank governed by the Bank Act (Canada) and its head office is located in Toronto, Ontario.

4. RBC is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario and holds a registration in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio adviser" in Ontario. It also holds a registration in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio manager" or the equivalent in each of the other Jurisdictions. The head office of RBC is located in Toronto, Ontario.

5. BMOI and BMONB are corporations incorporated under the laws of Canada and their head offices are located in Toronto, Ontario. BMOH is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada and holds a registration in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio manager" in Ontario. It also holds a registration in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio manager" or the equivalent in each of the other Jurisdictions except Quebec where it holds the registration of "unrestricted practice advisor". The head office of BMOH is located in Toronto, Ontario. Guardian is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada and holds a registration in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio manager" in Ontario. The head office of Guardian is located in Toronto, Ontario.

6. In addition, affiliates of the Applicants, who are registered as advisers in the categories of "investment counsel" and "portfolio manager" or the equivalent in each of the Jurisdictions, may from time to time act as portfolio advisers of the Funds through advisory or sub-advisory agreements. Each such affiliate will be a "dealer manager" with respect to the Funds.

7. The Applicants have each appointed an independent review committee (the "IRC") under National Instrument 81-107 - Independent Review Committee for Investment Funds ("NI 81-107") for the Existing Funds and will appoint an IRC for the Future Funds. In compliance with NI 81-107, each IRC has assumed its roles and responsibilities. The investment objective of each Dealer Managed Fund permits it or will permit it to invest in the relevant Securities.

8. In the case of CIBC, CIBC World Markets ("CIBCWM") may be a party to the underwriting agreement with a reporting issuer of Securities in a Relevant Offering. In the case of RBC, RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC Dominion") may be a party to the underwriting agreement with a reporting issuer of Securities in a Relevant Offering. In the case of BMO, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. (together with CIBCWM and RBC Dominion, each a "Related Underwriter") may be a party to the underwriting agreement with a reporting issuer of Securities in a Relevant Offering. In respect of each Relevant Offering in which a Related Underwriter participates as an underwriter, the Dealer Managers may wish to cause the Dealer Managed Funds to invest in Securities during the Prohibition Period.

9. To the extent a Related Underwriter participates as an underwriter in a Relevant Offering, the investment prohibition contained in subsection 4.1(1) of NI 81-102 (the "Investment Prohibition") restricts the Dealer Managed Funds from making certain investments in the issuer's Securities during the relevant Prohibition Period and can result in the portfolio adviser incurring extra costs, which are ultimately borne by the relevant Fund, to substitute investments for those that it is prohibited from buying.

10. Subsection 4.1(1) provides an exemption if the Dealer Managers or any of the associates or affiliates thereof act as a member of a selling group distributing five percent or less of the underwritten securities. However, this de minimis exemption is not available to entities that are underwriting a Distribution (as opposed to being in the selling group), and therefore the Dealer Managed Funds cannot avail themselves of this exemption.

11. The Funds would not be restricted by the Investment Prohibition if, in accordance with subsection 4.1(4) of NI 81-102, certain conditions are met, including that a prospectus is filed in one or more of the Jurisdictions in connection with a Relevant Offering and an IRC established for the Funds under NI 81-107 has approved the investment under NI 81-107.

12. The Applicants will not be able to rely on subsection 4.1(4) of NI 81-102 in connection with a Relevant Offering as a prospectus would not be filed in connection with a Private Placement. However the Applicants will comply with each of the other conditions in subsection 4.1(4) including that the Funds' IRC will approve any purchases under the Relevant Offerings under subsection 5.2(2) of NI 81-107.

Decision

Each of the Decision Makers is satisfied that the test contained in the Legislation that provides the Decision Makers with the jurisdiction to make this Decision has been met.

The Decision of the Decision Makers under the Legislation is that the Requested Relief is granted provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

The Investment Decision

At the time of each purchase by a Dealer Managed Fund during a Prohibition Period for a Relevant Offering, the Dealer Managed Fund has an IRC that complies with NI 81-107 and the IRC of the Dealer Managed Fund will have approved the investment in accordance with each of subsection 4.1(4)(a) of NI 81-102 and NI 81-107. The Dealer Managed Funds will also comply with paragraphs (c)(ii) and (d) of subsection 4.1(4) of NI 81-102.

II. Each issuer of a Relevant Offering is a reporting issuer or equivalent under the Legislation in a Jurisdiction at the time of each purchase by a Dealer Managed Fund during the Prohibition Period for the Relevant Offering.

Transparency

III.

(a) Prior to the first reliance on the Decision, the internet website of the Dealer Managed Fund or Dealer Manager, as applicable, discloses,

and

(b) on the date which is the earlier of (i) the date when an amendment to the simplified prospectus of the Dealer Managed Funds is filed for reasons other than the Decision and (ii) the date on which the initial or renewal simplified prospectus is receipted, Part A of the simplified prospectus of the Dealer Managed Funds discloses,

that the Dealer Managed Funds may invest in Securities during the Prohibition Period pursuant to the Decision, notwithstanding that a Related Underwriter has acted as underwriter in the Relevant Offering of the same class of such Securities.

IV. On the date which is the earlier of:

(i) the date when an amendment to the annual information form of the Dealer Managed Funds is filed for reasons other than the Decision; and

(ii) the date on which the initial or renewal annual information form is receipted,

the annual information form of the Dealer Managed Funds discloses the information referred to in paragraph III above and describes the policies or procedures and, standing approvals if any, that have been approved by the IRC as related to investments that can only be made pursuant to the Decision.

Sunset

V. The Decision, as it relates to the jurisdiction of a Decision Maker, will terminate on the coming into force of any legislation or rule of the Decision Makers dealing with Private Placements in the context of section 4.1 of NI 81-102.
