League Leads the Way

League's IGW REIT is North America's fastest-growing private Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) consisting of Canadian commercial and retail properties with combined values approaching $300 million. The trust exists to find, acquire, improve, and manage the most profitable real estate properties across the nation, and to offer these opportunities to other like-minded investors, referred to by League as its Member-Partners.

Combined with its other investment pools, League is currently managing and developing approximately $2 billion in real estate assets. To date, League has partnered with the families of its more than 1,900 Members, primarily through shared ownership of its high-yield real-estate-based investments.

The proliferation of Intergenerational Wealth™

"We at League believe that everything we do must assist families in creating and managing their Intergenerational Wealth, resulting in more satisfying lives and the perpetual betterment of society through service to others." - League's CEO, Adam D. Gant

The Company's main business goal is to help create and foster the "Inter-Generational Wealth" (IGW) of its Member-Partners. "Intergenerational Wealth" is a trademarked term used by League. It denotes the advancement of League's discipline/philosophy/lifestyle of Intergenerational Wealth, the doctrine that League employs to contribute in a significant way to improving the quality of human lives worldwide.

Improving Lives Worldwide

The company does this directly for it's Member-Partners' families through education, individual assistance, and by nurturing high-yield investments on their behalf. The tenants that lease League properties also benefit -- as do the neighbouring communities -- by virtue of the improvements made to those properties and their management.

Leading by Example

The company also offers indirect quality-of-life improvements by encouraging its Member-Partners to contribute their resources, time and talents to the betterment of society, be it in the lives of family members and friends, or complete strangers on the other side of the globe.

"Because of our family commitment to giving, we are glad to have our money with a company that is committed to helping others, both through intergenerational wealth building, but also through the good that personal and corporate wealth can accomplish in the world." - Jason Quiring, stock and commodities trader, entrepreneur, League Member-Partner

Transforming Lives into Legacies

We at League believe that to make life truly meaningful, we must reach beyond our own lifetime to improve the lives of those who come after. through Intergenerational Wealth™, League's aim is to empower its Member-Partners to improve the quality of their own lives, so that they may ultimately improve the quality of the lives of others — friends and strangers alike — today, and for generations to come.

These beliefs and aims are reflected in League's strategic approach, as defined Our Credo:

• To help our Member-Partners to secure enduring Intergenerational Wealth™
• To provide our Member-Partners with an organized system for managing their wealth across generations
• To ensure that future generations inherit from us a world that is cleaner, safer, and happier than the one we know now
• To continually invest a portion of League's time, expertise, and capital in the improvement of human civilization
• To empower and encourage our Member-Partners to do the same

League asserts that both investor and global needs can be addressed simultaneously, one family and one community at a time. Through "Positive Interdependence" League proposes that competitive cooperation, not cutthroat competition, brings the best possible result for all. Maximum benefits can only be achieved for a group of people when the individuals in that group do what's best for themselves and what's best for the group at the same time.

Positive Inter-dependence and the synergy produced by our value-creating activities are what link Intergenerational Wealth and Intergenerational Philanthropy, harnessing the common interests of our "League" of Member-Partners to achieve a shared long-term vision.

Thus, by promoting the institution of Intergenerational Philanthropy and harnessing the common interests of our "League" of Member-Partners through Intergenerational Wealth, together with the synergies produced by our "Positively Interdependent" value-creating activities worldwide, we will achieve our long-term vision.

The Corporate Response, Past and Future

Going back to the 19th century, there is a long history of corporate philanthropy in North America. Legendary American entrepreneurs such as Andrew Carnegie and the Rockefeller family established traditions of contributing significantly to education, the arts and various social causes. In Canada, similar traditions were established by entrepreneurial families such as the Westons (Loblaws) and the (James) Richardsons.

Today, corporate philanthropy has entered a whole new era. Where once contributions were almost exclusively financial, today's corporate philanthropy giants - George Soros, T. Boone Pickens, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg - are embracing and promoting something called "strategic corporate philanthropy".

According to a May 2008 article in The Wall Street Journal written by another of the modern-day titans of corporate philanthropy, Bill Gates: "Today, the value of corporate involvement lies as much in expertise as it does in monetary support."

At the 2008 World Economic forum in Davos, Switzerland, Gates challenged world economic leaders to embrace what he called "creative capitalism" to help improve the lives of the world's more than two billion impoverished people. "We must find a way to make the aspects of capitalism that serve wealthier people, serve poorer people as well," he told Forum attendees.

Since 2000, Mr. Gates has himself been directing his considerable personal wealth into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and supporting efforts to reduce poverty, improve health, and facilitate access to technology.

League's Approach - Combine Catalytic Capitalism with Intergenerational Philanthropy™

These same ideas that Bill Gates came to adopt at the pinnacle of his own success, League has adopted and advanced from the time of its founding. The economic development League is undertaking has always been envisioned as a "capitalistic catalyst" for local communities, and now in developing countries too.

The goal of League's activities is to join in the pursuit of ending poverty by promoting economic justice -- including equal access to opportunity (capital and education) and basic needs resources such as food, clothing, shelter, and medicine free of racial, political, gender or religious discrimination -- by way of its investment and development activities.

Ensuring the Future

To ensure both constant innovation and profitable sustainability of other synergistic ventures in the future, a portion of the profits from these companies will be re-invested to fund "triple-bottom-line" (social/economic/environmental) research and development to identify new opportunities, resources, and methodologies. This may be undertaken internally, through League directly or via it's charitable Foundation, or in cooperation with existing institutions such as Royal Roads University, or other foundations and think-tanks.

League also will supply critical resources from within its operating capacity to undertake its non-financial value producing activities, and do so while operating in a way that is economically and environmentally sustainable, as well as socially just, for all parties. This includes the ongoing development and management of essential services through specialized divisions, activities formed for these purposes:

• Strategic planning for coordination of for-profit and nonprofit activities (research, planning, and "imagineering" (using the imagination to engineer solutions)
• Philanthropic development and administration (sets up funds and foundations, to be administered by the for-profit asset and investment administration activities so that they are efficiently run and the //
