Author: News Release

Vancouver, B.C – August 16, 2011 – FrontFour Capital Corp. (“FFCC”) is pleased to announce that the recently launchedFrontFour Opportunity Fund is now listed on the FundSERV Inc. network under the symbol “FCC”. FFCC was co‐founded by Zachary George, David Lorber, and Stephen Loukas and is an investment fund manager and portfolio manager registered with the British Columbia Securities Commission. The founders of FFCC are also the principals of FrontFour Capital Group LLC (“FFCG”) and collectively manage approximately $100 million in AUM.

The FrontFour Opportunity Fund is managed with a value‐oriented approach combined with deep fundamental research, seeking out market opportunities created by corporate events or specific catalysts. Investments are made across the capital structure in both equity and credit in order to capitalize on events such as operational turnarounds, mergers and acquisitions, spin‐offs, asset sales, and stock buybacks, as well as bankruptcies, restructurings, and recapitalizations. The fund focuses primarily on mid‐cap public companies in both the United States and Canada.

FFCG was recently awarded Best Event Driven Fund of the Year by Hedgeweek in recognition of its 2010 performance.

According to Hedgeweek, “What really helped FrontFour stand out from the competition last year was its ability to trade successfully around core positions, while maintaining a robust hedge overlay strategy. This dynamic hedging enabled the portfolio to generate returns with low correlation to overall markets, capturing event alpha whilst mitigating downside risk.”

The launch and listing of the FrontFour Opportunity Fund on the FundSERV network now makes this strategy available to Canadian investors. The fund has been anchored with capital from well‐known business leaders and investors across Canada who have endorsed the fund and committed their capital for 3 years.

Commenting on the launch of the new fund, David Lorber said, “FrontFour is pleased to be part of the Canadian fund landscape and looks forward to developing and building long term relationships with investment advisors looking for strategic ways to diversify their client portfolios”.
