(1) The distribution is automatically reinvested in additional units. Immediately following the issuance, the units of the Fund are automatically consolidated and, as a result, unitholders hold the same number of units after the distribution as they held before it. The adjusted cost base of a holder’s units increases by the amount of the distributions reinvested in units. The amount presented is an estimate.
*Tax treatment of cash distributions is determined and published in February of the calendar year following the payment of said distribution.
