HARVEST ANNOUNCES LISTING OF THE HARVEST INTERNATIONAL HIGH INCOME SHARES ETF

Harvest ETFs has completed the initial offering of Class A units of the Harvest International High Income Shares ETF pursuant to a prospectus dated June 10, 2026, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in all of the Canadian provinces and territories. The Class A units of the Harvest International High Income Shares ETF will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today under the following ticker symbol: HHII: TSX (HHII). HHII is a welcome addition to the Harvest High Income Shares offerings.

"HHII gives Canadians a diversified slice of leading international businesses that Canadian portfolios are typically underweight. Pairing that exposure with an active covered call strategy and modest leverage is our way of turning global growth potential into cash flow investors can actually use, month to month." said Michael Kovacs, chief executive officer of Harvest. "Our goal with HHII was simple: make it straightforward for an investor to hold a basket of leading international companies, generate monthly distributions along the way, and do it all in a single CAD-denominated ETF. That's the kind of simplicity advisers tell us they want more of."

Distribution announcement

Harvest International High Income will pay monthly distributions and the first monthly distribution of 16 cents per Class A unit will be paid on or about Sept. 4, 2026, to unitholders of record on Aug. 31, 2026, with an ex dividend date of Aug. 31, 2026.

Investment objective

Harvest International High Income will seek to provide its unitholders with high monthly cash distributions and the opportunity for capital appreciation, by investing, directly or indirectly, on a levered basis, in a portfolio of publicly listed international equities. To achieve lower overall volatility of portfolio returns and generate monthly premiums, Harvest International High Income will write covered call options on the securities held in its portfolio and may purchase put options on exchange traded mutual funds for the purposes of hedging. The level of option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

Harvest International High Income offers a multisector portfolio that captures international companies that are positioned for strong growth. It is designed to deliver consistent, monthly income alongside growth opportunities. This ETF holds a portfolio of international equities, combining the benefits of income generation with exposure to leading international businesses across various sectors.
