Arctic Glacier Granted CCAA Order

Arctic Glacier Income Fund (CNSX:AG.UN) today announced that its application for
an order under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") has been
granted by the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench.


The court's order authorizes the Fund and its operating subsidiaries ("Arctic
Glacier") to commence a court supervised recapitalization of its business
through the initiation of a sale and investment solicitation process
("solicitation process"). It also provides for a stay of certain creditor claims
and authorizes debtor-in-possession financing to enable Arctic Glacier to
maintain normal business operations during the CCAA process. With the approval
of the court, TD Securities Inc. has been retained by Arctic Glacier as
financial advisor to assist with the implementation of the solicitation process.


Arctic Glacier's current lenders have provided up to $50 million
debtor-in-possession financing facility to fund Arctic Glacier's operations
during the CCAA process. 


"We are pleased that the court has authorized the implementation of the
recapitalization process, which is a key step toward financial stability for
Arctic Glacier's business," said Keith McMahon, President and CEO of Arctic
Glacier. 


The court also appointed Alvarez & Marsal Canada Inc. as monitor of Arctic
Glacier to oversee the CCAA proceedings. The Order's duration is for an initial
period of 30 days, subject to extension by the court. 


The monitor will be seeking recognition of the Initial Order pursuant to Chapter
15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware. 


During the CCAA process, Arctic Glacier expects to maintain all operations at
their normal capacity in both Canada and the United States. No layoffs or lease
terminations are planned and all suppliers of goods and services are intended to
be paid as usual, including amounts owed prior to the CCAA filing. 


Additional information regarding Arctic Glacier's CCAA proceedings will be
available on the monitor's website at www.alvarezandmarsal.com/arcticglacier.
