Incorporation: The PowerShares ETF was established under the laws of the Province of Ontario on July 7, 2014 pursuant to a master declaration of trust executed by Invesco Canada Ltd., as trustee.
Nature of Business: The PowerShares ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the NASDAQ LadderRite 0-5 Year USD Corporate Bond Index, or any successor thereto. This PowerShares ETF invests, directly or indirectly, primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds.
Distributions and Automatic Reinvestment: Income distributions, if any, will be paid in cash on a monthly basis. Cash distributions may include a return of capital. Capital gains distributions, if any, will be paid annually and, net of taxes required to be withheld, will be automatically reinvested in additional Units. Immediately following such reinvestment, the number of Units outstanding will be consolidated so that the NAV per Unit following the capital gains distribution and reinvestment is the same as it would have been if the distribution had not been paid.
Initial Issuance of Units: Pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus, Units will be issued and sold on a continuous basis and there will be no maximum number of Units that may be issued. Units sold in connection with the Offering for the Powershares ETF will amount to 100,000 CAD Units at a price of CDN$20 per CAD Unit and 50,000 USD Units at a price of US$18.64 per USD Unit.
