Cinram Receives Lender Approval for Credit Agreement Amendment Allowing It to
Repurchase Outstanding Indebtedness

TORONTO, March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Cinram International Income Fund
(TSX: CRW.UN), the world's largest provider of pre-recorded multimedia
products and related logistics services, announced today that its lenders have
approved an amendment to its subsidiaries' senior secured credit facility to,
among other things, permit Cinram to use up to US$150 million to repurchase
term advances outstanding under the senior secured credit facility at prices
below par through one or more "modified Dutch" auctions during a one-year
period commencing on the effective date of the amendment, expected to be March
23, 2009. The amendment does not obligate Cinram to make any such repurchases
and there can be no assurance that Cinram will repurchase any term advances.
In addition, Cinram agreed (i) to make a US$35 million prepayment at par of
term advances on the effective date of the amendment. (ii) to make quarterly
prepayments at par of US $10 million commencing with the second quarter of
2009. (iii) to reduce the revolving credit commitment under the senior credit
facility by US$50 million on the date of the amendment, and (iv) not to pay
any unitholder distributions for the balance of the term of the facility,
subject to certain limited exceptions. As of December 31, 2008, Cinram had
$647 million of term advances outstanding under its credit facility.
"We believe that this amendment to the senior credit agreement will assist the
Company in its continuing efforts to deleverage our balance sheet," said John
Bell, Cinram's Chief Financial Officer.
Execution and delivery of the amendment is subject to customary conditions. If
the amendment to the credit agreement is executed and becomes effective,
Cinram will file a copy of the amendment and related documents on
www.sedar.com. Cinram's acquisition of term advances would, under the terms of
the amendment and related documents, be subject to certain other restrictions,
as will be set forth in the amendment agreement documents.
