Morguard Sunstone Real Estate Income Fund announces exchange ratios

VANCOUVER, June 14 /CNW/ - Sunstone Investment Management Inc. (the "Manager") is pleased to announce the exchange ratios for the exchange option (the "Exchange Option") provided under the preliminary prospectus (the "Prospectus") dated April 20, 2010 of Morguard Sunstone Real Estate Income Fund (the "Fund") in connection with the Fund's initial public offering.

Prospective purchasers wishing to acquire units of the Fund ("Units") under the Exchange Option were required to deposit freely tradable listed securities (the "Eligible Securities") of certain real-estate issuers (the "Exchange Issuers") held in the book-entry system operated by CDS on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 25, 2010.

Under the Exchange Option, the number of Units issuable for each Eligible Security of any particular Exchange Issuer (the "Exchange Ratio") was determined by dividing the volume-weighted average trading price of such Eligible Security on the applicable stock exchange or other stock price quotation system on which it was listed during the five consecutive trading days ending on June 8, 2010 (the "Pricing Period"), as adjusted to reflect distributions declared by an Exchange Issuer that will not be received by the Fund, by $10.00, being the issue price per Unit.

The following table sets out the name of the Eligible Securities which were deposited prior to the May 25, 2010 deadline, the securities of which may be accepted by the Fund pursuant to the Exchange Option, including the applicable Exchange Issuers' CUSIP number, ticker symbol, weighted average trading price during the Pricing Period and the applicable Exchange Ratio.
