TORONTO,
Dec. 18, 2012 /CNW/ - Horizons
Exchange Traded Funds Inc. ("Horizons ETFs") and its
affiliates are pleased to announce the distribution amounts per
unit (the "Distributions") for certain of the Horizons ETFs
family of exchange traded funds (the "ETFs"), for the 2012
tax year end, as indicated in the table below.
Each of the ETFs is required to distribute any
net income and capital gain that they have earned in the
year. All of the distributions indicated in the table will be
paid in cash unless the Unitholder has enrolled in the applicable
dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") of the respective ETF.
The annual capital gains distributions will not be paid in cash but
will be reinvested and reported as taxable distributions and will
be used to increase each Unitholder's adjusted cost base of their
units of the respective ETF. The number of units held by the
Unitholder will not change as a result of the capital gains
distributions. The annual capital gains rates in the table below
are presented on an estimated basis. A press release confirming the
final annual capital gains rates will be disseminated prior to the
record date of the distributions.
The ex-dividend date for the Distributions is
anticipated to be December 27, 2012,
for all unitholders of record on December
31, 2012. The Distributions will be paid in cash or,
if the unitholder has enrolled in the respective ETF's dividend
reinvestment plan (DRIP), reinvested in additional units of the
applicable ETF, on or about January 11,
2013.
Horizons ETFs will make an additional
announcement of the December distributions for its family of
covered call exchange traded funds on or about December 19, 2012.
