Energy Plus Income Trust (TSX: EPF.UN) will suspend its distribution reinvestment and optional trust unit purchase plan for the distribution to unitholders of record at the close of business on Tuesday, September 30, Toronto-based Crown Hill Capital Corp., the fund’s administrative agent, said Wednesday.

Unitholders of Energy Plus who have elected to receive additional units of Energy Plus under the plan will instead receive a cash distribution on October 15, for the September distribution.

The expected merger of Energy Plus and CGF Resource 2008 Flow Through Limited Partnership (CGF) with Sustainable Production Energy Trust (TSX: SPU.UN) on October 4, with the continuing entity to be named Energy Income Fund, will result in the unitholders of Energy Plus receiving units of the Energy Income Fund in exchange for their units of Energy Plus.

As a result, no additional units of Energy Plus units will be available for distribution under the plan, Crown Hill says.

The CGF unitholders meeting to approve the merger will be held on September 28. If the merger is not approved by CGF unitholders, then the merger will proceed as the merger of Sustainable Production Energy Trust with Energy Plus, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
