TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 16, 2014) -

This news release contains forward-looking information that is based upon assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties as indicated in the cautionary note contained within this press release.

Dream Unlimited Corp. (TSX:DRM) ("Dream") announced today that the unitholders of each of the publicly listed ROI funds: ROI Canadian High Income Mortgage Fund (TSX:RIH.UN); ROI Canadian Mortgage Income Fund (TSX:RIL.UN); and ROI Canadian Real Estate Fund (TSX:RIR.UN) have overwhelmingly approved the previously announced reorganization to indirectly transfer all of their respective assets, together with those of ROI Institutional Private Placement Fund and the relevant underlying reference funds (all such funds collectively, the "ROI Funds"), to the newly formed Dream Hard Asset Alternatives Trust ("Dream Alternatives"). Across the three publicly listed ROI funds, unitholder approval averaged approximately 99% and there was participation from an average of 59% of unitholders in the vote.

As previously disclosed, Dream and Return On Innovation Advisors Ltd. have agreed to complete a reorganization of the ROI Funds, pursuant to which all of the assets within the ROI Funds will be indirectly transferred to Dream Alternatives. Upon successful completion of the reorganization, expected to be on or about July 8, 2014, unitholders of the ROI Funds will receive units in Dream Alternatives, which will be managed by a subsidiary of Dream, together with a special cash distribution. It is expected that Dream Alternatives will comprise approximately $730 million in net assets upon closing and will provide its unitholders with exposure to real estate, real estate lending and infrastructure, including renewable power, and accordingly leverage Dream's asset management platform, track record and expertise in these areas.

The units of Dream Alternatives have been conditionally approved for listing by the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "DRA.un". Following closing, Dream Alternatives will be the fourth publicly listed entity on the TSX managed by Dream.

"We are pleased with the overwhelming support for the reorganization and creation of Dream Alternatives," commented Michael Cooper, CEO. "We are excited to bring all of Dream's expertise into the management of the Trust that is expected to deliver an initial implied cash flow yield of 4.0% per year, based on an initial unit price of $10.00, plus opportunities for growth in hard asset alternative investments."

Following the creation of Dream Alternatives, Dream expects to have approximately $14.5 billion of assets under management.
