CIBC Asset Management Inc. announced today it will terminate two of its 100 percent RSP-eligible clone pools and distribute units of their corresponding underlying pools so that each unitholder will become a direct unitholder of the corresponding underlying pool.

This change follows the elimination of the foreign content limit on registered plans, and will be effective on October 14, 2005 for pools in the Frontiers program.

By terminating the RSP clone pools, each unitholder will become a direct unitholder of the corresponding underlying pool.

The termination of the RSP clone pools and the distribution of units of their corresponding underlying pool to unitholders will have no impact on the nature of the portfolio to which investors will be exposed, their suitability, or investment risks. For this reason, Canadian securities administrators have granted the RSP clone pools relief from the requirement to provide 60-days advance written notice of the terminations to affected unitholders.

RSP clone pools will be terminated on October 14.
