MONTREAL, Oct. 17, 2025 /CNW/ - In connection with the previously announced merger of the NBI Global Real Assets Income ETF (the "Merging ETF"), National Bank Investments Inc. (‟NBI" or the "Manager") announced today the estimated final distribution (the "Distribution") for the Merging ETF. Please note that this is an estimated amount as of October 17, 2025, and includes certain forward-looking information, which may cause the Distribution to change before the completion of the merger on October 24, 2025. Merging ETF | TSX Ticker | Estimated Final Distribution Amount (per ETF Unit) as of October 17, 2025 | NBI Global Real Assets Income ETF | NREA | $1.254569 |
The Merging ETF will distribute any net income and capital gain earned during the year. The Distribution will generally consist of capital gains and/or any excess net income as of the date of the merger. The Distribution will not be paid in cash. Instead, it will be reinvested and the resulting ETF units immediately consolidated so that the number of ETF units held by each investor will not change. Investors holding their ETF units outside registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and will see an increase in the adjusted cost base of their investment. In all cases, the Distribution (if any) will be reinvested on or about October 24, 2025, for unitholders of record on October 24, 2025. NBI expects to announce the final, confirmed Distribution amount (subject to any further revisions to the per ETF unit amounts resulting from subscription and redemption activity prior to the record date), on or about October 27, 2025. The actual taxable amount of all distributions for 2025, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or "CDS") and will be posted on NBI's website in early 2026. NBI provides an estimated distribution for information purposes only. The information provided is not intended to be, nor should they be construed as, legal or tax advice.
