BROOKFIELD CLOSES SALE OF LONGVIEW TIMBER

 AND LONGVIEW FIBRE PAPER AND PACKAGING

Toronto, Ontario, July 23, 2013 – Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”) (NYSE: BAM) (TSX: BAM.A) (Euronext: BAMA), announced today that it closed the previously disclosed sales of Longview Timber and Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging in two separate transactions for aggregate proceeds of $3.675 billion.

Brookfield sold Longview Timber to Weyerhaeuser Co. for $2.65 billion. After repayment of debt and distribution of proceeds to both Brookfield private fund investors and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, net cash proceeds to Brookfield were approximately $600 million. Separately, Brookfield closed the sale of Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging to KapStone Paper and Packaging for $1.025 billion. After repayment of debt and distribution of proceeds to Brookfield private fund investors, Brookfield received approximately $250 million in net cash proceeds.

The closing of these two transactions increased Brookfield’s liquidity by approximately $850 million and resulted in an attractive risk-adjusted return on capital to Brookfield, its flagship public infrastructure entity and investors in Brookfield’s private funds.
