HARVEST ANNOUNCES MONTHLY DISTRIBUTION INCREASES FOR TWO HARVEST TECH ETFS

Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. has declared an increase to the monthly distribution amount from 10 cents per unit to 12 cents per unit for the Class A units of the Harvest Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF, from 10 U.S. cents per unit to 12 U.S. cents per unit for the Class U units of the Harvest Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF, and from 10 cents per unit to 12 cents per unit for the Class B units of the Harvest Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF. The new monthly distribution amount for both Class A units, Class U units and Class B units, taking effect for the September 29, 2023 record date, represents a current annual yield of approximately 9.4% for Class A units, 8.8% for Class U units and 9.1% for Class B units.

The change to the distribution amount is intended to provide a reasonable and sustainable distribution yield for unitholders of the Class A, Class U and Class B units of the Harvest Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF while continuing to provide the opportunity for long-term capital appreciation through exposure to an equally weighted portfolio of 20 large-cap Technology companies that is diversified across the global technology sectors that also engages an active call strategy to enhance the monthly distribution.

The Harvest Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF was named a Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards Canada 2022 Winner, Best Sector Equity Fund over 3 years (Class A) and 5 years (Class U).

Harvest also announces an increase to the monthly distribution amount from $0.1063 CAD per unit to $0.1300 CAD per unit for the Class A units of the Harvest Tech Achievers Enhanced Income ETF (HTAE:TSX). The new monthly distribution amount for the Class A units will take effect for the September 29, 2023 record date representing a current annual yield of approximately 11.5%.

The change to the distribution amount is intended to provide a reasonable and sustainable distribution yield for unitholders of the Class A units of the Harvest Tech Achievers Enhanced Income ETF while investing, on a levered basis, in the Harvest Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF (HTA:TSX).

"At Harvest ETFs, we understand the value of income for investors in a high inflation environment and manage our Equity Income ETFs in order to pay sustainable and regular monthly distributions," says Michael Kovacs, President & CEO.

Harvest has established a Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") for all three classes (HTA:TSX, HTA.U:TSX and HTA.B:TSX) of Harvest Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF and for Class A units of Harvest Tech Achievers Enhanced Income ETF (HTAE:TSX), allowing investors to easily benefit from compounding their distributions on a monthly basis. Each are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and are eligible for the Distribution Reinvestment Plan, provided that their investment dealer supports participation in the DRIP. Investors may opt into the DRIP by contacting their investment dealer, otherwise distributions will be paid in cash.
