Emerge Announces Estimated Annual Distributions for Emerge ARK ETFs

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Emerge Canada Inc. (“Emerge”) today announced the estimated annual capital gains distributions per unit for the exchange-traded series of units of the Emerge ARK ETFs set out below (the “Funds”) for the 2021 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of December 15, 2021, and reflect forward-looking information which may cause these estimates to change.

These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distribution only, which will be reinvested in additional units of the respective Fund at year-end.

The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2021, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. in early 2022.
