CAPVEST Income Corp. Announces Change Of Investment Objectives


WEBWIRE

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- CAPVEST Income Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: CVS) is pleased to announce that at a special meeting held on March 6, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved a change to the Company’s investment objectives and a consolidation of its common shares.

Change of investment mandate

The Company’s investment objectives will now focus on investing, directly or indirectly, in a diversified group of infrastructure and energy companies. The Company intends to target an annual yield of approximately 6%, paid quarterly on the common shares.

Management believes that the Company can achieve higher and more stable returns, and can access a source of income that is absent from its current investment objective by investing in a diversified group of energy-related income and royalty funds and investing in a diversified group of publicly traded infrastructure companies in Canada and other member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The Company also intends to target direct ownership in infrastructure assets providing sustainable and predictable current cash flow returns.

Infrastructure comprises the physical assets that a society requires to facilitate its orderly operation, which includes: transport (toll roads, airports, seaports, rail); energy (gas and electricity transmission, distribution and generation); water (pipelines and treatment plants); communications (broadcast, satellite and cable); and social (hospitals, schools and prisons). The infrastructure companies in which the Company will invest will be selected to provide shareholders with long-term exposure to strong and stable returns through distributions and/or dividends from its portfolio of investments, as well as potential capital growth in these investments.

Consolidation of common shares

The shareholders also authorized the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to consolidate the common shares of the Company at a ratio of up to 15 to 1. In a subsequent Board Meeting immediately following the Special Meeting, the Board of Directors approved a consolidation ratio of 15 to 1. Management believes that the consolidation will raise the share price to more attractive levels, reduce the shareholder transaction cost and improve trading liquidity. The Company’s name will not change as a result of the consolidation.

TSX-V approval

The proposed consolidation is also subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

CAPVEST Income Corp.

CAPVEST Income Corp. is an investment corporation listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Its common shares and 7% convertible debentures trade under the symbols CVS and CVS.DB, respectively. CAPVEST Income Corp. is managed by Sentry Select Capital Corp.
