Incorporation: The ETF is an open-ended mutual fund established under the laws of the Province of Ontario on March 25, 2015 pursuant to an amended and restated master declaration of trust.
Manager and Trustee: Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc.
Fiscal Year End: December 31
Nature of Business: The ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the Solactive US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Index (Total Return), net of expenses. The Solactive US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Index (Total Return) is designed to measure the performance of the US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond market.
Transfer Agent & Registrar: CST Trust Company at its principal office in Toronto.
Distributions and Automatic Reinvestment: The ETF will not make regular distributions. The ETF will, only when necessary, distribute income in the form of a distribution reinvested into Units of the ETF at the end of a calendar year. Such reinvested Units will then be consolidated so that the number of Units held by an investor after such a distribution will be equal to the number of Units they held the moment before the distribution.
On an annual basis, the ETF will ensure that the net income and net realized capital gains of the ETF have been distributed to Unitholders of the ETF in the applicable currency to such an extent that the ETF will not be liable for ordinary income tax thereon. To the extent that the ETF has not distributed the full amount of its net income or net capital gains in cash in any year, the difference between such amount and the amount actually distributed by the ETF in cash will be paid as a “reinvested distribution”. Reinvested distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional Units of the ETF in the applicable currency at a price equal to the net asset value per Unit of the ETF and the Units of the ETF will be immediately consolidated such that the number of outstanding Units of the ETF following the distribution will equal the number of Units of the ETF outstanding prior to the distribution.
Initial Issuance of Units: Pursuant to the Prospectus, 503,750 Units will be issued at a subscription price of CDN$50.50 or US$40.00 per Unit.
