Dominion Citrus Income Fund (TSX:DOM.UN) and Dominion Citrus Limited (TSX:DMN.PR.A): Lease Surrender Agreement Executed for Kelfield Warehouse Facility

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 16, 2011) - Dominion Citrus Income Fund (the "Fund") (TSX:DOM.UN) and Dominion Citrus Limited ("DCL") (TSX:DMN.PR.A) (together the "Company" or "Dominion") jointly announce the execution of a Lease Surrender Agreement ("Lease Surrender") with the landlord of Dominion's 51 Kelfield Street warehousing facility. The lease surrender will require (i) a $750,000 payment from Dominion Citrus Limited to the Landlord in six payments between closing and August 15, 2011; and (ii) the sale to the Landlord (at no expense to the Landlord) of all existing racking and refrigeration equipment at the facility.

Dominion's existing lease to 2020 will be substantially amended. The Company will lease back certain processing and storage space on a 3-year lease but will be subject to a termination clause should the Landlord find a more suitable tenant(s). The Lease Surrender will have no negative effect on Dominion's existing businesses. The Company will use extra third party storage when required to augment the leased storage space and will continue to lease the processing space it requires. The Lease Surrender will reduce yearly lease expense by approximately $760,000.

The Fund is continuing to move towards the rights offering as previously announced on November 29, 2010. A further announcement will be made in due course.
