AG.UN Arctic Glacier Income Fund

Arctic Glacier Income Fund (CNSX:AG.UN) ("Arctic Glacier") announced today it
has completed the previously announced sale of substantially all of its business
and assets (the "Transaction") to affiliates of H.I.G. Capital (the
"Purchaser"). The Transaction was effected pursuant to the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA") and the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.


The business continues to be carried on under the Arctic Glacier name and
substantially all employees, including senior management, have accepted
employment with the Purchaser. "This transaction makes Arctic Glacier
financially stronger and better positioned to compete and grow" said Keith
McMahon, President and CEO of the new company, Arctic Glacier Holdings, Inc. "We
look forward to carrying on our proud tradition of product quality and service
excellence. We wish to thank our customers, suppliers and employees for their
support throughout this process".


Prior to closing of the Transaction, Arctic Glacier agreed to certain amendments
to the asset purchase agreement between Arctic Glacier and the Purchaser. As a
result of the amendments and because Arctic Glacier did not purchase the land
and buildings of its Arizona facility, the cash proceeds available on closing
were $413.35 million subject to certain post-closing working capital and other
adjustments under the asset purchase agreement. A copy of the agreement setting
out the amendments will be filed on SEDAR and may be viewed at www.sedar.com.


A portion of the cash proceeds received by Arctic Glacier on closing of the
Transaction was used to satisfy all amounts owing to Arctic Glacier's existing
secured lenders. The remainder of those proceeds is being held by Alvarez &
Marsal Canada Inc., the CCAA Court-appointed monitor (the "Monitor"). Arctic
Glacier expects that those remaining proceeds of sale will be sufficient to pay
all of its known unsecured creditors and may be sufficient to permit a
distribution to its unitholders after all unsecured creditor claims have been
proven and satisfied. Prior to any distribution of the balance of funds held by
the Monitor to the unsecured creditors of Arctic Glacier and its subsidiaries, a
court-approved claims process will be undertaken to identify creditor claims
against Arctic Glacier and its subsidiaries and adjudicate or resolve claims
filed. 


Following the completion of that claims process, the trustees of Arctic Glacier
expect to determine whether sufficient funds exist to make a further
distribution to unitholders. The timing and amount of any distributions to be
paid to unsecured creditors and unitholders cannot be determined at this time.
