TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sep 16, 2014) - Tuckamore Capital Management Inc. (TSX:TX) (TSX:TX.DB.B) ("Tuckamore" or the "Company") has been advised by Brompton Corp. ("Brompton") that Brompton has received a letter (the "Proposal Letter") from the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") wherein the CRA proposes to deny the deduction to Brompton of certain non-capital losses and other tax attributes in respect of Brompton's 2009 to 2013 taxation years. Tuckamore Holdings LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tuckamore, held approximately 40% of the outstanding shares of Brompton during certain of these periods. Tuckamore Holdings LP sold its interest in Brompton in 2011.

Tuckamore has been notified by Brompton that in the event Brompton is subject to taxes assessed by CRA or incurs losses or costs associated with the CRA's review, it will be seeking indemnification for approximately 40% of these taxes, losses or costs pursuant to agreements entered into by Tuckamore Holdings LP.

Brompton has announced that it has not received any notice of reassessment from CRA to date and that based on the Proposal Letter it estimates its total additional tax liability could be approximately $10.4 million exclusive of penalties, interest, legal costs and other costs. Brompton also notes in its announcement that it remains of the view that its tax filing position is appropriate and does not believe any additional assessment of income tax by CRA is warranted, that it intends to vigorously defend its position, and that legal proceedings through the relevant courts could take considerable time to resolve.

Tuckamore is reviewing its agreements with Brompton and is considering its alternatives in respect of any potential claim for indemnification. The Company intends to follow and participate in the conduct of any negotiations, objections, appeals or other tax-related proceedings relating to the periods during which it was, indirectly, a shareholder of Brompton and to exercise all rights and remedies that it may have in respect of any claims brought by Brompton against Tuckamore Holdings LP for indemnification.
