Rainmaker Income Fund (the "Fund") (TSX:RNK.UN) and Rainmaker Entertainment Inc.
("Rainmaker") today announced the closing of the previously announced plan of
arrangement under which the Fund converted from an income trust into a
growth-oriented corporation (the "Arrangement"). Securityholders of the Fund who
voted at the Special Meeting on July 24, 2008 voted in excess of 99% in favour
of the Arrangement.


Under the Arrangement the holders of trust units of the Fund and Class B LP
limited partnership units of RNK Capital Limited Partnership are entitled to
receive one common share of Rainmaker for each unit. After giving effect to the
Arrangement, Rainmaker has 17,480,175 common shares issued and outstanding.
Letters of Transmittal were mailed to unitholders with the Information Circular
for the special meeting to be used in order for unitholders to exchange their
units of the Fund for common shares of Rainmaker.


Rainmaker is also pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen G. Arnold and
Gordon Radley to the Board of Directors. Mr. Arnold is a partner at and
co-founded Polaris Venture Partners, following 10 years in executive positions
in software companies and the digital media industry. Mr. Radley has 35 years
experience in the entertainment industry and recently retired from Lucasfilm
Ltd., where he had been President since 1992.


Approximately three business days after the Toronto Stock Exchange confirms
receipt of all necessary documents in connection with the closing of the
Arrangement, the trust units of the Fund will be delisted from the TSX.
Concurrent with the delisting of the trust units, the common shares of Rainmaker
will be listed on the TSX under the symbol "RNK", which listing is anticipated
to commence between August 7 and 12, 2008.
