In addition, the Company may hold up to 10% of the total assets of the Portfolio in investments in global financial companies for the purposes of enhanced diversification and return potential, at the discretion of Brompton Funds Limited (the "Manager"), the manager of the Company.

The Preferred Shares and the Class A Shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbols "SBC.PR.A" and "SBC", respectively.

Notes:

  1. The Offering prices were established by negotiation between the Company and the Agents (as defined herein). The Offering price per Unit (as defined herein) is equal to or exceeds the most recently calculated NAV per Unit as at April 6, 2023 (as adjusted for dividends and certain expenses accrued or payable prior to or upon closing of the Offering), plus the per Unit Agents' fee and the expenses of the Offering.
  2. Before deducting the expenses of the Offering which are estimated to be $130,000. Such expenses, together with the Agents' fee, will be paid out of the proceeds of the Offering, provided however that the expenses of the Offering to be borne by the Company shall not exceed 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. Any such excess expenses shall be paid for by the Manager. As a result of the priority of the Preferred Shares, the expenses of the Offering will effectively be borne by holders of the Class A Shares (for so long as the NAV per Unit exceeds the Preferred Share Offering price plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon) and the net asset value per Class A Share will reflect the expenses of the Offering of both the Preferred Shares and Class A Shares.
  3. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under this Offering. This means that the Company could complete this Offering after raising only a small portion of the offering amount set out above.
  4. The Company has granted the Agents an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable for a period of 30 days from the closing of the Offering, to purchase additional Preferred Shares and Class A Shares up to such number as is equal to 15% of the number of Class A Shares issued at the closing of the Offering on the same terms as set forth above, which additional Preferred Shares and Class A Shares are qualified for sale under this Prospectus Supplement. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total price to the public under the Offering will be $34,532,116, the Agents' fee will be $1,215,357 and the net proceeds to the Company, before expenses of the Offering, will be $33,316,759. A purchaser who acquires Preferred Shares or Class A Shares forming part of the Agents' over-allocation position acquires such shares under this Prospectus Supplement, regardless of whether the Agents' over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. See "Plan of Distribution".

The following table sets forth certain terms of the Over-Allotment Option, including the maximum size, the exercise period and the exercise price:
