About the Fund, a publicly-traded entity
The Fund is a limited purpose, open-ended trust established under the
laws of Ontario to indirectly acquire certain trademarks and trade names used
by Pizza Pizza Limited ("Pizza Pizza") in its restaurants. The trademarks are
licensed to Pizza Pizza for 99 years, for which Pizza Pizza pays the Fund a
royalty equal to 6% of the system sales of its Pizza Pizza restaurants in the
Royalty Pool. As of January 1, 2006, there were 501 Pizza Pizza restaurants in
the Royalty Pool.
A key attribute of the Fund's structure is the fact that it is a
"top-line" fund. Royalty income of the Fund is based on top-line system sales
of the Royalty Pool restaurants and is not determined by the profitability of
either Pizza Pizza or the Pizza Pizza restaurants in the Royalty Pool. Given
this structure, the success of the Fund depends primarily on the ability of
Pizza Pizza to maintain and increase system sales of the Royalty Pool.
The Fund's trust units are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the
symbol PZA.UN.
