These revised annual distributions are considered notional
distributions and are automatically reinvested in units of the
Funds at the time of the distribution and immediately consolidated
so that the number of units held by each investor, the outstanding
units of the Funds and the net asset value of the units of the
Funds do not change as a result of the distributions. Unitholders
of record on December 31, 2016 will
receive the revised 2016 annual reinvested distributions.
These distributions, which are in addition to the cash
distributions paid out during the year, are made to ensure the
Funds are not liable for ordinary income tax. The tax
characteristics of these year-end distributions will be reported in
the normal course to unitholders in early 2017.
