/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO and MONTREAL, Jan 8, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Fiera Capital Corporation (TSX: FSZ) ("Fiera Capital"), a leading independent asset management firm, announced final amounts for the special distributions to be made by each of the North American Preferred Share Fund and Senior Secured Floating Rate Loan Fund (collectively the "Funds").

Final Distribution Amounts for the Special Distributions:

The following special distributions will be paid in units, and immediately thereafter, the issued and outstanding capital of each fund will be consolidated such that the number of issued and outstanding units of each fund does not change. The final distribution amounts have been determined now that each fund's year-end tax position is finalized. The estimated distribution amount for the North American Preferred Share Fund announced on December 21, 2015 has been revised to reflect the allocation of capital gains realized in connection with the November 27, 2015 annual redemption to unitholders whose units were redeemed on that date.  For unitholders whose units were so redeemed and who held units on capital account, this allocation generally will not affect the tax character of the amount received in connection with that redemption.
