(the "Manager") announced its proposal to change the investment objectives of its 13 funds, namely the Professionals' Balanced Fund, Professionals' Balanced Growth Fund, Professionals' Retirement Balanced Fund, Professionals' Bond Fund, Professionals' Short Term Fund, Professionals' Canadian Equity Fund, Professionals' Dividend Fund, Professionals' Global Equity Fund, Professionals' American Index Fund, Professionals' European Equity Fund, Professionals' Asian Equity Fund, Professionals' Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Professionals' Equity World Trends Fund, (each, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds").

The special meetings of unitholders of the Funds were called for December 10, 2012 to seek the approval of unitholders on record on November 6, 2012 for the proposed investment objective changes. On November 7, 2012, a notice of meeting and a management information circular providing the necessary details of the proposals, as required by securities regulations, were sent to the unitholders of the Funds.

The quorum for the meetings of the unitholders of the Funds, which is two unitholders present in person or represented by proxy and holding not less than 10% of the units of each Fund, was not reached for the majority of the Funds. As a result, the meetings of the unitholders of the Funds have been adjourned to Monday, December 17, 2012, commencing at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at the offices of the Fédération des médecins spécialistes du Québec, located at 2 Complexe Desjardins, East Tower, 20th Floor (Salle Raymond-Robillard), Montreal, Québec.

As prescribed in the Declaration of Trust of the Funds, if a meeting of the unitholders of a Fund is adjourned due to lack of quorum, unitholders of such Fund present at the adjourned meeting, whatever their number and the number of units held by them, will form a quorum.
