CORRECTING and REPLACING CI Global Asset Management Announces Estimated Annual Reinvested Capital Gains Distributions for CI ETFs
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$CIXX #CIGAM–Please replace the release dated December 3, 2021 with the following corrected version due to revisions of the estimated annual reinvested capital gains distributions for certain funds.
The updated release reads:
CI GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES ESTIMATED ANNUAL REINVESTED CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS FOR CI ETFS
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
CI Global Asset Management (“CI GAM”) announces the estimated annual reinvested capital gains distributions (the “Reinvested Distributions”) for the 2021 tax year for the CI ETFs listed below. Please note that these are estimated amounts as of October 29, 2021 and include certain forward-looking information which may cause the Reinvested Distributions to change before the CI ETFs’ tax year-end on December 15, 2021 and December 31, 2021. These estimated amounts are for the Reinvested Distributions only and do not include the ongoing, regular monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts which are expected to be announced in a separate press release in December 2021.
Each of the CI ETFs is required to distribute net income and capital gains earned during the year. The Reinvested Distributions will generally consist of capital gains and/or any excess net income at year end. The Reinvested Distributions will not be paid in cash but will be reinvested and the resulting units immediately consolidated so that the number of units held by each investor will not change. Investors holding units outside registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and will have an increase in the adjusted cost base of their investment. In all cases, these distributions will be reinvested on or about December 31, 2021 to unitholders of record on December 30, 2021.
CI GAM expects to announce the final, confirmed Reinvested Distribution amounts (subject to any further revisions to per unit amounts resulting from subscription and redemption activity prior to the record date) on or about December 31, 2021. The actual taxable amounts of all distributions for 2021, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) and will be posted on www.firstasset.com in early 2022.
CI GAM provides estimated distributions for information purposes only. These estimates are not intended to be, nor should they construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular person.
