From the Desk of Irwin Michael – November 6, 2015

Yesterday after the market closed, it was announced that Honeywell International agreed to buy Com Dev International’s space equipment business for $455 million, with the ExactEarth segment being spun out to Com Dev shareholders. Com Dev is a very large investment holding for us, held in the ABC Fully-Managed Fund, Fundamental-Value Fund, North American Deep-Value Fund and the Dirt-Cheap Stock Fund.

It has long been our view that Com Dev is a high quality, undervalued Canadian technology company, and this transaction allows our thesis to be realized. We believe this is a great liquidity event for Com Dev shareholders, providing fair value for our shares. We have elected to completely sell our holdings and we intend to invest in better valued opportunities.
