Harvest ETFs Announces Revised Estimated Annual 2024 Reinvested ETF Distributions

OAKVILLE, Ontario (BUSINESS WIRE | French) – Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. (“Harvest”) today announces the revised estimated annual reinvested distributions for Harvest ETFs for the 2024 tax year. Please be advised that the estimated distributions announced in this press release replace those stated in the November 28, 2024 press release for the Harvest ETFs.

Please note these are estimated amounts only as of December 15, 2024 and could change if the Harvest ETFs experience subscriptions or redemptions of units prior to the ex-dividend date.

Each of the Harvest ETFs is required to distribute any income and capital gains that they have earned during the year. The annual distributions will not be paid in cash but will be reinvested and immediately consolidated so that the number of units held by the unitholder, the units outstanding of the ETFs, and the net asset value of the ETFs will not change as a result of the non-cash distributions. The annual distributions will be reported as taxable distributions and result in an increase to each unitholder’s adjusted cost base for the respective ETF. The actual taxable amounts and nature of distributions for the respective ETFs as either income or capital gains will be reported to brokers through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) in early 2025.

Harvest expects to announce the final year-end reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 31, 2024. The ex-dividend date for the 2024 annual reinvested distributions will be December 31, 2024 for all unitholders of record on December 31, 2024.

Details regarding the estimated annual reinvested distribution amounts are below. These amounts do not include any ongoing monthly cash distributions which are disclosed separately.

¹ For Class U units, amounts are in U.S. dollars. All other amounts are in Canadian dollars.

At Harvest ETFs, we believe that investors can build and preserve wealth through the long-term ownership of high-quality businesses. This fundamental philosophy is at the core of our investment approach across our range of ETFs. Our core offerings center around covered call strategies, available in four variations: Equity, Enhanced, Fixed Income, and Balanced.

You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the investment fund on the TSX. If the shares are purchased or sold on the TSX, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying shares of the investment fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of an investment fund. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Distributions are paid to you in cash unless you request, pursuant to your participation in a distribution reinvestment plan, that they be reinvested into Class A, Class B or Class U units of the Fund. If the Fund earns less than the amounts distributed, the difference is a return of capital. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the investment fund. You can find more detailed information about the investment fund in these documents.
