You will usually pay brokerage fees to your
dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the Company on the TSX or
other alternative Canadian trading system (an “exchange”). If the
shares are purchased or sold on an exchange, investors may pay more
than the current net asset value when buying shares of the Company
and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling
them.
There are ongoing fees and expenses associated
with owning shares of an investment fund. An investment fund must
prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the
fund. You can find more detailed information about the Company in
its public filings available at www.sedarplus.ca. The indicated
rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns
including changes in share value and reinvestment of all
distributions and do not take into account certain fees such as
redemption costs or income taxes payable by any securityholder that
would have reduced returns. Investment funds are not guaranteed,
their values change frequently and past performance may not be
repeated.

Returns are for the periods ended September 30,
2023, and are unaudited. Inception date October 17, 2006. The table
shows the compound return on a Preferred Share for each period
indicated compared to the S&P/TSX Preferred Share Index
(“Preferred Share Index”). The Preferred Share Index tracks the
performance, on a market‑weight basis, of a broad index of
preferred shares trading on the TSX that meet the criteria relating
to size, liquidity and issuer rating. It is not expected that the
performance of the Preferred Shares will mirror that of the
Preferred Share Index, which has a more diversified portfolio.
Past performance does not necessarily indicate
how the Preferred Shares will perform in the future. The
information shown is based on the redemption price per Preferred
Share and assumes that distributions made by the Company on the
Preferred Shares in the periods shown were reinvested (at the
redemption price per Preferred Share) in additional Preferred
Shares of the Company.
