Any such amount distributed by the ETF will be paid as a "reinvested distribution". Reinvested distributions on Units of an ETF will be reinvested automatically in additional Units of the ETF at a price equal to the net asset value per Unit of the ETF on such day and the Units of the ETF will be immediately consolidated such that the number of outstanding Units of the ETF held by each Unitholder on such day following the distribution will equal the number of Units of the ETF held by the Unitholder prior to the distribution. |
