/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA./

TORONTO, Dec. 8, 2017 /CNW/ - First Asset Investment Management Inc. ("First Asset") announces the estimated annual special year-end distributions (the "Special Distributions") for the 2017 tax year for the First Asset ETFs listed below. Please note that these are estimated amounts as of November 30, 2017 and include certain forward-looking information which may cause the estimated Special Distributions to change before the First Asset ETFs' tax year-end on December 15, 2017.  These estimated amounts are for the Special Distributions only and do not include the ongoing, regular monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts which are expected to be announced in a separate press release on or before December 15, 2017. 

Each of the First Asset ETFs is required to distribute any net income and capital gains that it has earned in the year.  The Special Distributions will generally consist of capital gains and/or any excess net income at year end.  The Special Distributions will not be paid in cash, but will be reinvested and the resulting units immediately consolidated so that the number of units held by each investor will not change.  Investors holding their units outside registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and an increase in the adjusted cost base of their investment.  In all cases, the Special Distributions will be paid on or about December 29, 2017 to unitholders of record on December 28, 2017.  The ex-dividend date in each case is December 27, 2017.

First Asset expects to announce the final, confirmed Special Distribution amounts (subject to any further revisions to per unit amounts resulting from subscription and redemption activity prior to the record date) on or about December 29, 2017.  The actual taxable amounts of all distributions for 2017, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or "CDS") and will be posted on the First Asset website in early 2017.

First Asset provides estimated distributions for information purposes only.  These estimates are not intended to be, nor should they be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular person.
