Hamilton ETFs Announces December 2024 and Estimated Non-Cash Distributions

Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. (“Hamilton ETFs”) is pleased to announce the regular cash and an update to its estimated annual non-cash distributions for its suite of ETFs, all of which trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, for the period ended December 31, 2024.

Regular cash distributions

Distributions may vary from period to period.

The ex-dividend date for these distributions is anticipated to be December 31, 2024, for all unitholders of record on December 31, 2024. The distributions will be paid in cash, or if the unitholder has enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP), reinvested in additional units of the ETF, on or about January 8, 2025.

Updated Estimated Non-Cash Distributions

Hamilton ETFs also announces today an update to its estimated non-cash distributions to be paid to ETF unitholders for the 2024 tax year (see table below). Please note this is an update to the estimated non-cash distributions previously announced on December 5, 2024.

ETFs are required to distribute any net income and capital gains earned in the year. The distributions labeled as “Estimated Annual Non-Cash Distribution per Unit” in the table below (each a “Non-Cash Distribution” and together, “Non-Cash Distributions”) will not be paid in cash, but will be automatically reinvested in additional units of the respective ETFs, and immediately consolidated so that the number of units held by the unitholder and the net asset value of the ETFs will not change. The Non-Cash Distributions will be reported as taxable distributions and will be used to increase each unitholder’s adjusted cost base for the respective ETF. The Non-Cash Distribution rates in the table below are presented on an estimated basis. A press release confirming the final Non-Cash Distributions will be disseminated on or about the record date of the distributions.

The ex-dividend date for the Non-Cash Distributions and any potential annual non-cash distributions is anticipated to be December 31, 2024, for all unitholders of record on December 31, 2024. In early 2025, the tax characteristics of all 2024 distributions will be reported to brokers via CDS.

1. The Non-Cash Distributions listed in the table are expected to be comprised of capital gains.
