The Company's investment objectives are:

Preferred Shares:



i.  to provide holders of the Preferred Shares with fixed, cumulative
    preferential monthly cash dividends in the amount of $0.04375 per
    Preferred Share to yield 5.25% per annum on the original issue price;
    and 
ii. on or about the termination date, currently December 1, 2015 (the
    "Termination Date"), to pay the holders of the Preferred Shares $10.00
    per Preferred Share, which was the original issue price of the Preferred
    Shares. 



Class A Shares:



i.  to provide holders of the Class A Shares with regular monthly cash
    dividends initially targeted to be $0.10 per Class A Share to yield 8.0%
    per annum on the original issue price of the Class A Shares, and
    currently targeted to be $0.1257 per Class A Share; 
ii. on or about Termination Date, to pay the holders of Class A Shares
    $15.00 per Class A Share, which was the original issue price of the
    Class A Shares. 



The Company is currently scheduled to terminate on December 1, 2015. The Company
intends to seek shareholder approval to extend the Termination Date initially to
December 1, 2020, and thereafter for additional terms of five years each at the
discretion of Quadravest Capital Management Inc., as the manager of the Company.
In conjunction with such extension, if approved, shareholders would be offered a
special retraction right which would allow them to exit their investment in the
Company on the same basis as if the Company were to terminate on its otherwise
scheduled Termination Date. Further information regarding the term extension
will be provided at the time meetings of shareholders are called to consider
and, if deemed acceptable, approve the extension.


The sales period of this overnight offering will end at 9:00 a.m. EST on January
10, 2014.


A copy of the preliminary short form prospectus is available from the syndicate
of underwriters.
