PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

September 7, 2022

(To a Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus dated August 23, 2022)

$34,300,000 Preferred Shares

$15,700,000 Class A Shares

This prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement"), together with the short form base shelf prospectus dated August 23, 2022, qualifies the distribution of preferred shares (the "Preferred Shares") of Premium Income Corporation (the "Fund") having an aggregate market value of up to $34,300,000 and class A shares (the "Class A Shares") of the Fund having an aggregate market value of up to $15,700,000 (the "Offering"). Preferred Shares and Class A Shares are issued only on the basis that an equal number of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares will be outstanding. The Fund is a mutual fund corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario.

The Fund invests in a portfolio (the "Portfolio") consisting principally of common shares of Bank of Montreal, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada, The Toronto-Dominion Bank (collectively, the "Banks") and National Bank of Canada.

The Preferred Shares and the Class A Shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbols "PIC.PR.A" and "PIC.A", respectively. On September 2, 2022, the closing price on the TSX of the Preferred Shares was $14.22 and of the Class A Shares was $6.78. As at August 31, 2022, the most recently calculated NAV per Unit (as defined herein) prior to the pricing of the Offering on August 31, 2022, was $19.54. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Preferred Shares and Class A Shares offered hereby. Listing will be subject to the Fund fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX.

Mulvihill Capital Management Inc., in its capacity as manager and investment manager of the Fund (the "Manager") and the Fund have entered into an equity distribution agreement dated September 7, 2022 (the "Equity Distribution Agreement") with National Bank Financial Inc. (the "Agent") pursuant to which the Fund may distribute Preferred Shares and Class A Shares from time to time through the Agent, as agent, in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement. Sales of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus are anticipated to be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"), including sales made directly on the TSX or on any other existing trading market for the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares, as applicable, in Canada. The Preferred Shares and Class A Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices at which Preferred Shares and Class A Shares are sold may vary as between purchasers and during the period of any distribution. In accordance with paragraph 9.3(2)(a) of National Instrument 81-102 - Investment Funds ("NI 81-102"), the issue price of the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares will not (a), as far as reasonably practicable, be a price that causes dilution of the NAV of the Fund's other outstanding securities at the time of issue and (b) be a price that is less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per Unit. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under this Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after raising only a portion of the Offering amount set out above, or none at all. See "Plan of Distribution".

The Fund will pay the Agent compensation for its services in acting as agent in connection with the sale of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement of up to 2.5% of the gross sales price per Preferred Share sold and up to 2.5% of the gross sales price per Class A Share sold (the "Commission").

As agent, the Agent will not engage in any transactions to stabilize or maintain the price of the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares. No Agent, or underwriter of the at-the-market distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such Agent or underwriter may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares or securities of the same class as the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares distributed under this Prospectus Supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares that would result in the Agent or underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares. See "Plan of Distribution".

An investment in the Preferred Shares or the Class A Shares involves a degree of risk. It is important for prospective investors to consider the risk factors described in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus (as defined herein). See "Risk Factors".
