Harvest ETFs Revised Estimated Annual 2021 Reinvested Distributions

OAKVILLE, ON, Dec. 22, 2021 /CNW/ - Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. ("Harvest") today announces the revised estimated annual reinvested distributions for Harvest ETFs for the 2021 tax year. Please be advised that the estimated distributions announced in this press release replace those stated in the November 26, 2021 press release for the Harvest ETFs.

Please note these are estimated amounts only as of December 15, 2021 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 2022.

Harvest expects to announce the final year-end reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 30, 2021. The ex-dividend date for the 2021 annual reinvested distributions will be December 30, 2021 for all unitholders of record on December 31, 2021.

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