TORONTO, Dec. 2, 2022
/CNW/ - Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. ("Horizons ETFs")
announced today the estimated non-cash distributions (the
"Non-Cash Distributions") to unitholders of certain exchange
traded funds (the "ETFs") it manages for the 2022 tax year
as indicated in the table below. Those ETFs managed by Horizons
ETFs not listed in the table are not expected to have Non-Cash
Distributions for the 2022 tax year.
Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of
December 1, 2022. Circumstances may
arise which could cause these estimates to change before the ETFs'
applicable tax year ends on December 15,
2022.
Each ETF is required to distribute any net income and capital
gains it has earned during the year. The Non-Cash Distributions
will be automatically reinvested in additional units of the
respective ETFs and immediately consolidated so that the number of
units held by the unitholder (the outstanding units of the ETFs)
and the net asset value of the ETFs will not change as a result of
the Non-Cash Distributions. The annual Non-Cash Distributions will
be reported to unitholders as taxable distributions and will
increase each unitholder's adjusted cost base for the respective
ETF. The Non-Cash Distributions may be income and/or capital gains
in nature. These estimated amounts are for the Non-Cash
distributions only and do not include any estimates of the regular
monthly or quarterly cash distributions, as applicable, including
income and capital gains amounts that may form a part of the
monthly and/or quarterly distributions.
Horizons ETFs expects to announce the final year-end Non-Cash
Distribution amounts, as well as any regular monthly or quarterly
cash distribution amounts, on or about December 21, 2022. The ex-dividend date for all
of these distributions (cash and non-cash) is anticipated to be
December 29, 2022, for all
unitholders of record on December 30,
2022. In early 2023, the tax characteristics of all
distributions for 2022 for the ETFs will be reported to brokers via
the Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (CDS) and will be posted
on our website shortly thereafter.
