T.HCA, T.HBA, T.HFG, T.HUM, T.HCAL, T.HDIV, T.HFIN, T.HYLD, T.HUTS | December 29, 2022

Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. (“Hamilton ETFs”) confirmed today the annual special cash distributions (“Special Cash Distributions”) for its suite of ETFs, all of which trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, for the period ended December 31, 2022. Please note, this is an update to the estimated Special Cash Distributions previously announced on December 20, 2022.

ETFs are required to distribute any net income and capital gains earned in the year. The Special Cash Distributions will be paid in cash, or if the unitholder has enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), reinvested in additional units of the ETFs. Note, the amounts below do not include the regular cash distributions announced on December 20, 2022.

As noted and previously estimated, Hamilton ETFs confirmed that none of its ETFs will have an annual non-cash distribution for the 2022 tax year.

The record date for the Special Cash Distributions is December 30, 2022. The payment date for the Special Cash Distributions will be January 12, 2023. In early 2023, the tax characteristics of all distributions for 2022 for the ETFs will be reported to brokers via CDS.
