Introduction and Overview

On June 28, 2005, Deloitte Restructuring Inc., (formerly Deloitte & Touche Inc.) was appointed Receiver and Manager (the "Receiver") of Crocus Investment Fund ("Crocus") by the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench (the "Court") pursuant to an application made by the Manitoba Securities Commission. The intent of the Receiver and Manager is to realize the assets of Crocus for the benefit of the various stakeholders including the Class A shareholders.

Interim Distributions

To date, the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba has approved three (3) interim distributions (the "Distributions") to shareholders. Depending on the type of account, shareholders received different types of correspondence relating to the distributions. All applicable forms were sent by ordinary mail and were customized to include specific shareholder account and interim distribution information.

The following summarizes the various account categories that shareholders held and the documents which were sent:

Nominee Accounts

• Distribution funds were sent to the intermediaries of record for your broker/dealer and shareholders received an account statement and letter indicating same. 

Client Name Non-Registered Accounts and Client Name De-Registered Accounts

• Shareholders received a cheque and an account statement representing their portion of the distribution.

Client Name Registered Account (RIF/RSP)

• Shareholders were sent an account statement and a letter outlining two options of which only one was to be selected: Direct Transfer Authorization Form (Option A) or Direction to Deregister Form (Option B).
  

Client Name Locked-In Accounts (LIF/LIRA/LRIF)

• Shareholders were sent a Direct Transfer Authorization Form.

At present there are a number of shareholders who have unclaimed funds from one or more of the Distributions.  Should shareholders, their advisors, or advisors from a receiving institution have questions regarding the completion of the required documents, please contact Crocus Shareholder Services as follows:
