Estimated Annual Reinvested Distributions
The estimated annual reinvested distributions, as applicable,
will not be paid in cash but reinvested in additional units and
reported as taxable distributions, with a corresponding increase in
each unitholder's adjusted cost base of their units of the
respective ETF. The additional ETF units will be immediately
consolidated so that the number of units held by the unitholder,
the outstanding units and the net asset value of the ETFs will not
change as a result of the annual reinvested distribution. The
annual reinvested distributions, as applicable, are expected to be
capital gains in nature for each of the ETFs.
As detailed in the table below, unitholders of record on
December 30, 2022, will receive a
per-unit reinvested distribution payable in Canadian dollars on
January 4, 2023
