Horizons announces December 2016 distributions for certain ETFs

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2016

TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2016 /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 2016 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 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 non-cash Distributions, indicated as "Reinvested Annual Non-Cash Distributions per Unit (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 unitholder's adjusted cost base of their units of the respective ETF. The projected nature of the estimated Non-Cash Distributions for the respective ETFs as either income or capital gains is disclosed in the footnotes to the table below. The Non-Cash 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 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 both the Cash and Non-Cash Distributions is anticipated to be December 28, 2016, for all unitholders of record on December 30, 2016. The Cash Distributions will be paid in cash, or if the unitholder has enrolled in the respective ETF's DRIP, reinvested in additional units of the applicable ETF, on or about January 12, 2017. The Non-Cash Distributions will be effective December 30, 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 20, 2016.
