DREAM Unlimited Corp. (TSX:DRM) ("DREAM") announced today that it has entered
into an agreement with Return On Innovation Advisors Ltd. ("ROI") to acquire the
right to manage the: ROI Canadian High Income Mortgage Fund (TSX:RIH.UN); ROI
Canadian Mortgage Income Fund (TSX:RIL.UN); ROI Canadian Real Estate Fund
(TSX:RIR.UN), and ROI Institutional Private Placement Fund, collectively "ROI
Funds".


DREAM and ROI have agreed to complete a reorganization of the ROI Funds,
pursuant to which all of the assets will be transferred to a newly-formed,
open-ended investment trust called DREAM Alternatives Fund ("DREAM
Alternatives"). Upon successful completion of the transaction, the outstanding
units of the ROI Funds will be redeemed in consideration for units in DREAM
Alternatives, which will be managed by a subsidiary of DREAM.


It is management's expectation that DREAM Alternatives will provide its
unitholders with exposure to real estate, real estate lending, and
infrastructure, including renewable power and accordingly leverage DREAM's asset
management platform, track record and expertise in these areas. Management
expects that upon closing, DREAM Alternatives will comprise an equity value of
approximately $700 million.


The transaction is subject to the approval by the unitholders of each of the ROI
Funds that are listed on the TSX at meetings of the unitholders expected to take
place in June 2014. In addition to such unitholder approval, the transaction is
subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other
closing conditions customary for transactions of this nature. Subject to these
approvals, the transaction is expected to close in July 2014.


Further information regarding the transaction will be contained in an
information circular that ROI will prepare, file and mail to unitholders of the
ROI Funds in connection with the meetings of unitholders and an accompanying
prospectus of DREAM Alternatives to be filed in each of the provinces and
territories of Canada, each of which is expected to be available in mid-May
2014.
