In accordance with the Declaration of Trust, after all liabilities have been satisfied or provided for, the net assets of the Fund will be distributed in cash to unitholders of the Fund on a pro rata basis on or about August 16, 2024. As the units trade in the “book-entry-only system” of CDS, unitholders do not need to take any action with respect to receiving their final proceeds.

Units of the Fund will continue to be listed and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange until the Termination Date.
