Mullen Group Ltd. provides 2009 Canadian Income Tax information in relations
to its predecessor Mullen Group Income Fund

OKOTOKS, AB, Dec. 3 /CNW/ - (TSX-MTL) Mullen Group Ltd. ("Mullen Group" and/or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide the following information which is intended to assist Canadian residents in the preparation of a 2009 T1 Income Tax Return. On May 1, 2009 , the holders of trust units of Mullen Group Income Fund (the "Fund") and the holders of Class B limited partnership units of Mullen Co. Limited Partnership approved a Plan of Arrangement that resulted in the conversion of the Fund from an open-ended income trust to a corporation called Mullen Group Ltd. The Corporation has determined that for the Fund's Canadian resident Unitholders, distributions declared and paid in respect of 2009 are comprised of 97.28 percent taxable income and 2.72 percent return of capital.

The information contained herein is based on the Corporation's understanding of the Income Tax Act ( Canada ) (the "Act") and the regulations thereunder, and is provided for general information only. Unitholders are advised to consult their personal tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

The Fund qualified as a mutual fund trust under the Act until May 1, 2009 and as such, the Fund's trust units ("Units") were qualified investments for registered retirement savings plans ("RRSPs"), registered retirement income funds ("RRIFs"), registered education savings plans ("RESPs"), and deferred profit sharing plans ("DPSPs"), all as defined in the Act. Unitholders who hold their Units in a RRSP, RRIF, RESP, or DPSP need not report any income related to Unit distributions on their 2009 Income Tax Return.

A Unitholder that did not hold his or her Units in an RRSP, RRIF, RESP or DPSP, must report the taxable portion of the 2009 income allocated by the Trust to the Unitholder, on the Unitholder's 2009 Income Tax Return. This taxable amount will be reported on a "T3 - Statement of Trust Income and Allocations and Designations" ("T3 Slip") that will be issued (i.e., "Other income" - Box 26 on the T3 Slip) and mailed to all Unitholders before March 31, 2010 .

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    

The return of capital portion of distributions reduces the Unitholder's adjusted cost base ("ACB") of Units. The ACB of a Unit generally equals the purchase price of the Unit, including commissions, less any return of capital distributions received or receivable after the date of acquisition. Unitholders should consult their own legal or tax advisors as to their particular tax consequences of holding Units.
