Horizons Announces December 2015 Distributions for Certain ETFs
Canada NewsWire
TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2015
TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2015 /CNW/ - Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. and its affiliate AlphaPro Management Inc. (collectively "Horizons ETFs") are pleased to announce the distribution amounts per unit (the "Distributions") for certain of the Horizons ETFs family of exchange traded funds (the "ETFs"), for the 2015 tax year end, as indicated in the table below.
Each of the ETFs is required to distribute any net income and capital gains that they have earned in the year. All of the Distributions indicated as "Cash Distribution per Unit" in the table (the "Cash Distributions") will be paid in cash unless the Unitholder has enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") of the respective ETF.
The annual capital gains Distributions, indicated as "Reinvested Annual Capital Gains (Est.)" in the table (the "Capital Gains Distributions"), will not be paid in cash but will be reinvested and reported as taxable Distributions and will be used to increase each Unitholder's adjusted cost base of their units of the respective ETF. The Capital Gains Distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional units of the respective ETFs and immediately consolidated so that the number of units held by the Unitholder, the units outstanding of the ETFs, and the net asset value of the ETFs, will not change as a result of the Capital Gains Distributions. The annual Capital Gains Distribution rates in the table below are presented on an estimated basis. A press release confirming the final annual Capital Gains Distribution rates will be disseminated prior to the record date of the Distributions.
The ex-dividend date for both the Cash Distributions and Capital Gains Distributions is anticipated to be December 29, 2015, for all unitholders of record on December 31, 2015. The Cash Distributions will be paid in cash, or if the unitholder has enrolled in the respective ETF's dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP), reinvested in additional units of the applicable ETF, on or about January 13, 2016.
Horizons ETFs will make an additional announcement of the December distributions for its family of covered call exchange traded funds on or about December 21, 2015.
