Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. today announced the estimated annual
capital gains distributions for the Vanguard ETFsTM listed
below for the 2014 tax year. Please note that these are estimated
amounts only as of November 7, 2014 and reflect forward-looking
information which may cause the estimates to change before the ETFs’
December 15, 2014 tax year-end.
These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distributions only,
which will be re-invested and the resulting units immediately

change. These estimates do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or
quarterly distribution amounts.

well as the monthly and quarterly cash distribution amounts, on or about
December 17, 2014. The ex-dividend date for the 2014 annual
distributions will be December 24, 2014. The record date for the 2014
annual distributions will be December 30, 2014, payable on January 5,
2015.
