TORONTO -- Sentry Select Capital Corp. is pleased to announce that its offering of Sentry Select Principal-Protected Blue-Chip Notes(TM) Series VI has raised gross proceeds of $15,829,900.

The total amount raised in the Sentry Select Principal-Protected Blue-Chip Notes(TM) series now stands at $181,500,300.

Benchmark portfolio

Sentry Select Principal-Protected Blue Chip Notes(TM) are deposit notes, issuable in series by National Bank of Canada, whose performance is linked to a benchmark portfolio composed of 15 blue-chip Canadian income trusts, 15 blue-chip Canadian stocks and 15 blue-chip U.S. stocks. The portfolio has been chosen by Sentry Select Capital Corp.

Principal plus appreciation

At maturity, after eight years, investors will be repaid their principal, plus appreciation in the benchmark portfolio, if any. The fluctuation of the value of the portfolio will directly impact the return payable. It is therefore possible that no return will be paid.

Early redemption

National Bank of Canada may redeem the Series VI Notes after four years at a price that will give investors the equivalent of a compound annual rate of return of approximately 9%.

Liquidity

A weekly secondary market will be maintained by National Bank Financial under normal market conditions to ensure the Notes' liquidity. There is no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Redemption of Notes within 24 months of their issue will be subject to an early trading charge.
