TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2015 /CNW/ - Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. ("Horizons ETFs"), the manager and trustee of the exchange traded funds listed below (the "ETFs"), is providing an update to the consolidation ratios for the unit consolidations of the ETFs previously announced on October 23, 2015.

Unit Consolidations

After the close of trading on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the units of the ETFs will be consolidated on the basis of the ratios (the "Final Consolidation Ratios") set out below, and will begin trading on a post consolidated basis on Thursday, November 26, 2015, the effective date of the consolidations. The original consolidation ratios (the "Original Consolidation Ratios") in the table are the ratios declared in the initial press release dated October 23, 2015.

When a unit consolidation occurs, the net asset value per unit is increased by the same ratio as the unit consolidation so that the unit consolidation has no impact on the value of the investor's total unit position. An investor's cost per unit is also increased by the same ratio as the unit consolidation, although their total cost remains unchanged.

No fractional units will be issued. Where the consolidation results in a fractional unit, the number of post-consolidation units will be rounded down to the nearest whole unit, in the case of a fractional interest that is less than 0.5, or rounded up to the nearest whole number, in the case of a fractional interest that is 0.5 or greater. Unitholders of the ETF do not need to take any action. Unitholders will have their brokerage accounts automatically updated to reflect the unit consolidations.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with an investment in the ETFs. The ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Please read the prospectus before investing.
