TORONTO, December 4, 2023 – Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. (“Hamilton ETFs”) announced today the estimated special cash distributions for the 2023 tax year for holders of certain of its exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). Those ETFs managed by Hamilton ETFs that are not included in the table below are not expected to have special cash distributions for the 2023 tax year.

Please note that these are estimates only. Circumstances may arise that could cause these estimates to change before the ETFs’ applicable tax year ends on December 15, 2023.

ETFs are required to distribute any net income and capital gains earned in the year. The distributions labeled as “Estimated Special Cash Distributions per Unit” in the table below (each, a “Special Cash Distribution” and together, “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, on or about January 8, 2024.

The ex-dividend date for all of these distributions is anticipated to be December 28, 2023, for all unitholders of record on December 29, 2023. In early 2024, the tax characteristics of all 2023 distributions will be reported to brokers via CDS.

1. The Special Cash Distribution for Hamilton Australian Bank Equal-Weight Index ETF listed in the table is expected to be comprised of capital gains.
2. The Special Cash Distribution for Hamilton Canadian Bank Mean Reversion Index ETF listed in the table is expected to be comprised primarily of dividend income.
