BROOKFIELD ASSET MANAGEMENT ENTERS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO SELL CASCADIA FOREST PRODUCTS TO WESTERN FOREST PRODUCTS

Tricap Restructuring Fund To Finance Recapitalization and Acquisition


TORONTO, November 11, 2005 - Brookfield Asset Management (formerly Brascan Corporation) (NYSE/TSX: BAM), has entered into a definitive agreement with Western Forest Products (TSX: WEF) to sell wholly owned Cascadia Forest Products for a total purchase price of approximately C$120 million, plus the amount of working capital at closing.

Brookfield Asset Management has an indirect interest in Western Forest Products through its 48% equity interest in the Tricap Restructuring Fund (“Tricap”). Tricap led the restructuring of Western Forest Products (“WFP”) on behalf of creditors several years ago and today owns 20% of the common shares of the company.

The acquisition is being financed by a C$295 million rights offering of Western shares underwritten by Tricap, which has also arranged an additional C$310 million in bridge financing to allow WFP to redeem its current senior secured debt.

The transaction is expected to conclude in the first quarter of 2006, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals. Hugh Sutcliffe, President of Cascadia, will continue in his current role until close of the transaction and assume the position of Chief Restructuring Officer, Forest Products at Brookfield Asset Management, following the closing of the transaction.
