BBCA JPMorgan BetaBuilders Canada ETF

NEW YORK, March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan Asset Management today announced that the Board of Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust has approved a reverse split of the shares of each of the following six ETFs: JPMorgan BetaBuilders 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (CBOE: BBSA), JPMorgan BetaBuilders Canada ETF (CBOE: BBCA), JPMorgan BetaBuilders Developed Asia ex-Japan ETF (CBOE: BBAX), JPMorgan BetaBuilders Europe ETF (CBOE: BBEU), JPMorgan BetaBuilders Japan ETF (CBOE: BBJP) and JPMorgan U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: JAGG).

The effective date of the reverse splits will be prior to market open on April 12, 2021, when the funds will begin trading at their post-split price under the same ticker symbols. The funds will be issued new CUSIP numbers, as listed above.

Shares of the Funds will be offered on a split-adjusted basis on April 12, 2021. The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of this reverse split, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as discussed below.

Illustration of a Reverse Split
The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical one-for-two reverse split:

Fractional Shares from Reverse Splits
For shareholders who hold quantities of shares that are not an exact multiple of the reverse split ratio (for example, not a multiple of two for a one-for-two reverse split), the reverse split will result in the creation of a fractional share. Post-split fractional shares will be redeemed for cash and sent to the broker of record. This redemption may cause some shareholders to realize a gain or loss, which could be a taxable event for those shareholders. Otherwise, the reverse split will not result in a taxable transaction for shareholders of the Funds.
