Unit Consolidation

After the TSX has closed for trading on Friday, December 20, 2013, the units of the ETF will be consolidated on the basis of a ratio (the "Consolidation Ratio") yet to be determined, such that the net asset value ("NAV") of the units of the ETF traded on the TSX under the ticker symbol DLR.U will equal $10.00 USD upon such consolidation.  The units of the ETF will begin trading on a consolidated basis on Monday December 23, 2013, the effective date of the consolidation.
