U.S. Tax Information – Qualifying Dividend

For the information of U.S. shareholders, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. is a "qualified foreign corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its dividends are therefore generally eligible for "qualified dividend" treatment. Whether dividends paid by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. will in fact be "qualified dividends" to any shareholder will depend on that shareholder's specific circumstances, including the shareholder's holding period for the Brookfield Asset Management Inc. shares on which such dividends are received. U.S. shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the treatment of dividends paid by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. as "qualified dividends" in their particular circumstances.
