RIDGEWOOD CANADIAN INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND TO HOLD UNITHOLDER MEETING TO VOTE ON PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
Toronto, February 22, 2011 Ridgewood Capital Asset Management Inc. (the "Manager"),
the manager of Ridgewood Canadian Investment Grade Bond Fund (TSX: RIB.UN) (the
"Fund"), announces that a special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders (the "Unitholders") of
the Fund"s units (the "Units") will be held on March 31, 2011, commencing at 10:00 a.m. at the
offices of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, 333 Bay Street, Suite 2400, Toronto, Ontario.
The Manager has determined that it is desirable to increase the portion of the Fund"s portfolio
that may be invested in investment grade "Maples", that is investment grade bonds issued by
non-Canadian issuers denominated in Canadian dollars, to 25% of the Fund"s net asset value. In
order to effect the foregoing, the Manager is holding the Meeting to seek Unitholder approval of
amendments to the Fund"s investment restrictions (the "Proposed Amendment"). The Manager
believes that the Proposed Amendment will allow the Fund to diversify its portfolio to a greater
extent.
Details regarding the Proposed Amendment will be contained in an information circular which is
expected to be mailed to Unitholders in March, 2011. The record date for the special meeting is
March 2, 2011. Unitholders are encouraged to complete and return their proxy forms in order
that their Units can be voted at the Meeting. The board of directors of the Manager has
determined that the Proposed Amendment is in the best interests of the Fund and, accordingly,
recommends that Unitholders vote in favour of the special resolution authorizing the Proposed
Amendment.
