TORONTO, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AGF Investments Inc. (AGF Investments) (TSX:AGF.B) today announced the estimated final distribution for AGF Emerging Markets ex China Fund ETF Series (ticker: AEMX).

The final distribution is the result of a previously announced termination of this ETF Series effective close of business on or about May 20, 2026 (the “Termination Date”). Unitholders of record on May 14, 2026 will receive notional distributions payable on May 14, 2026.

The final distribution will not be paid in cash but will be reinvested in the form of a notional distribution and reported as taxable. A notional distribution is when the units from a reinvested distribution are immediately consolidated with the units held prior to the distribution. The number of units held after the distribution is therefore identical to the number of units held before the distribution. The unitholder’s adjusted cost base for the ETF may increase.

AGF Investments expects to issue a press release on or about May 13, 2026 providing the final distribution amount, which may vary from the estimated amount disclosed below.

Details regarding the estimated “per unit” distribution amount is as follows:

Disclaimer

ETFs are listed and traded on organized Canadian exchanges and may only be bought and sold through licensed dealers. Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with investing in ETFs. Exchange-traded funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Tax, investment and all other decisions should be made, as appropriate, only with guidance from a qualified professional.  A copy of the prospectus and ETF Facts is available on AGF.com.

The distribution is not guaranteed, may be adjusted from time to time at the discretion of the fund manager and may vary from payment to payment. The payment of distributions should not be confused with a fund’s performance, rate of return or yield. If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, the original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a fund, and income and dividends earned by a fund, are taxable to the investor in the year they are paid. The adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If the adjusted cost base falls below zero, the investor will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.
