August 13, 2012

DBRS has today published updated versions of two Canadian structured finance methodologies:

-- Stability Ratings for Canadian Structured Income Funds
-- Rating Canadian Split Share Companies and Trusts

Neither of the methodology updates resulted in any meaningful changes and as such, neither publication has resulted in any rating changes or rating actions.

DBRS’s criteria and methodologies are publicly available on its website, www.dbrs.com, under Methodologies.

DBRS’s rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available at www.dbrs.com.
