The Rolland Company succeeds the company of the same name which existed for 45 years and which itself grew out of an import business established by the Rolland family more than 85 years ago. Its mills at Saint-Jérôme and at Mont-Rolland, in the county of Terrebonne, produce only high-grade commercial paper products, which are sold throughout the country and even abroad.

Issue price (with rights): 97, to yield 6.19%.

This price is substantially inferior to that of good preferred shares in the newsprint industry
