TORONTO, Dec. 24, 2012 /CNW/ - Horizons Exchange Traded
Funds Inc. ("Horizons ETFs") and its affiliate Horizons ETFs
Management (Canada) Inc., the
manager and trustee of the Horizons U.S. Dollar ETF (the
"ETF"), listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX")
under the symbols DLR and DLR.U, has announced today
that it intends to consolidate the units of the ETF, as outlined
below:
Unit Consolidation
After the TSX has closed for trading on
Friday, January 4, 2013, the units of
the ETF will be consolidated on the basis of a ratio (the
"Consolidation Ratio") yet to be determined, such that the
net asset value ("NAV") of the units of the ETF traded on
the TSX under the ticker symbol DLR.U will equal $10.00 USD upon such consolidation. The
units of the ETF will begin trading on a consolidated basis on
Monday January 7, 2013, the effective
date of the consolidation.
Based on the closing NAV of December 21, 2012, the Consolidation Ratio would
be approximately 1:1.009, i.e. for every 1.009 pre-consolidation
units outstanding, one (1) consolidated unit would be issued.
This sample rate is provided only as an approximation of the
Consolidation Ratio. The final Consolidation Ratio will be
determined at the close of business on Friday, January 4, 2013.
