HORIZONS ETFS COMPLETES CONVERSION OF ADVISOR-CLASS UNITS TO COMMON CLASS UNITS
Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. completed the conversion of all adviser-class units of its Canadian-listed exchange-traded funds to the corresponding common class units of the same ETF at the end of business today, April 28, 2017.
Horizons ETFs, by way of a press release dated Dec. 29, 2016, had previously announced plans to reduce the annual management fee on the adviser-class units by an amount equal to the applicable service fee payable by the manager in respect of that class of units and, either concurrently or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, convert all adviser-class units into common class units of the same ETF.
The remaining unitholders of record of converting adviser-class units as of the conversion date will receive a number of whole converted common class units of the same ETF with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate NAV of the units converted, based on their respective NAVs as of the conversion date. The conversion of adviser-class units into whole common class units of the same ETF does not give rise to a disposition by unitholders of converting adviser-class units for tax purposes on any whole units converted. Any remaining fractional adviser-class units will be redeemed for cash, and such redemption will be considered a disposition for tax purposes. The conversion ratio of adviser-class units to common class units for each ETF is detailed in the attached table.

By way of an example, a holder of 1,000 adviser-class units of the Horizons Active Corporate Bond ETF (HAB.A) will receive 1,001 common class units (HAB) of the same ETF based on its conversion ratio. Unitholders do not have to take any action to participate in the elimination of the service fee or the conversion described herein.
We seek Safe Harbor.
