Brompton Split Banc Corp. Announces April Class A Distribution

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Brompton Split Banc Corp. (SBC) (TSX: SBC) is pleased to announce that a
monthly distribution in the amount of $0.10 per Class A share will be
paid on May 14, 2009 to Class A shareholders of record at the close of
business on April 30, 2009.

Recent improvement in equity markets has resulted in an increase in net
asset value per unit (consisting of one class A share and one preferred
share) of SBC to $16.32 as at April 16, 2009, which allows the Fund to
reinstate the monthly class A share distribution. In accordance with the
Class A Share Provisions and the prospectus, no cash distribution may be
paid on the class A shares, if after payment of the distribution by the
Fund, the net asset value per unit would be less than $15.00. The Fund
will continue to monitor its net asset value per unit on a monthly basis
to determine whether the Fund will pay a Class A distribution in each
subsequent month. The Fund intends to continue to pay the $0.10 monthly,
non-cumulative distribution per class A share in months where the net
asset value per unit exceeds the $15.00 threshold after the payment of
such distributions.
