TORONTO, Dec. 21,
2022 /CNW/ - Horizons ETFs Management
(Canada) Inc. ("Horizons
ETFs") is pleased to announce the distribution amounts per
security (the "Distributions") for certain of its exchange
traded funds (the "ETFs"), for the 2022 tax year end, as
indicated in the table below.
Each ETF 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 Security" in the table (the
"Cash Distributions") will be paid in cash unless the
securityholder has enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan
("DRIP") of the respective ETF.
The estimated annual non-cash Distributions, indicated as
"Reinvested Annual Non-Cash Distributions per Security (Est.)" in
the table (the "Non-Cash Distributions"), will not be paid
in cash but will be reinvested and reported as taxable
Distributions and will be used to increase each securityholder's
adjusted cost base of their securities of the respective ETF. The
Non-Cash Distributions will be reinvested automatically in
additional securities of the respective ETFs and immediately
consolidated so that the number of securities held by the
securityholder, the securities outstanding of the ETFs and the net
asset value of the ETFs will not change as a result of the Non-Cash
Distributions. The annual Non-Cash Distribution rates in the table
below are presented on an estimated basis. A press release
confirming the final annual Non-Cash Distribution rates will be
disseminated on or about the record date of the Distributions.
The ex-dividend date for the Distributions is anticipated to be
December 29, 2022, for all ETFs
except for the Horizons High Interest Savings ETF ("CASH"). The
ex-dividend date for the Distribution for CASH is anticipated to be
December 30, 2022. The record date
for all ETFs will be December 30,
2022. The Distributions for securities of each ETF will be
paid in cash or, if the securityholder has enrolled in the
respective ETF's dividend reinvestment plan, reinvested in
additional securities of the applicable ETF, on or about
January 12, 2023. The nominal payment
date applied to the Non-Cash Distributions will also be
January 12, 2023, though in actuality
there will be no physical payment made as would be the case with
the Cash Distributions.
Horizons ETFs has made an additional announcement regarding the
December distributions for its family of covered call ETFs in a
separate press release.
