THE KEG ROYALTIES INCOME FUND ANNOUNCES THIRD DISTRIBUTION INCREASE OF 2015

VANCOUVER, November 12, 2015 – The Keg Royalties Income Fund (the “Fund”) (TSX: KEG.UN) is pleased to announce that it is once again increasing its monthly cash distributions.

The monthly distributions will increase 3.55% from $0.0845 per unit to $0.0875 per unit beginning with the November 2015 distribution. This equates to an annualized distribution of $1.05 per unit. The distribution of $0.0875 per unit for the period from October 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015 will be payable to Unitholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2015 and will be paid on November 30, 2015. This follows monthly distribution increases of 2.5% in March of 2015 and 3.05% in July of 2015.
“As a result of the strong financial performance of the Fund, we are pleased to announce that we are increasing monthly distributions to the Fund’s unitholders again this year”, said Mr. Kip Woodward, Chairman of the Fund. “Monthly distributions have been increased by a total 9.38% from $0.0800 at the beginning of the year to their current level of $0.0875.”

The Fund regularly reviews distribution levels with the objective of providing a consistent monthly distribution flow to Unitholders at the highest sustainable level. This distribution increase is primarily attributable to continued strong same store sales growth (“SSSG”) at Keg Restaurants Ltd. (“KRL”), although the addition of new Keg restaurants into the Royalty Pool each year is also a factor. For the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2015, KRL reported consolidated SSSG of 7.5% for the quarter.
“KRL’s exceptional year-to-date SSSG of 7.0%, combined with a cash balance of $2,247,000 and a positive working capital balance of $3,559,000 as at September 30, 2015, has allowed the Trustees to approve this third distribution increase of 2015”, said Mr. Woodward.

The Fund is a limited purpose, open-ended trust established under the laws of Ontario. The Fund indirectly owns certain trademarks and other related intellectual property used by KRL in its Keg Steakhouses & Bars. In exchange for the use of those trademarks, KRL pays the Fund a royalty equal to 4% of the sales of all Keg restaurants in the Royalty Pool.
