Carfinco Income Fund Announces Year-End Unit Distribution Details
CARFINCO INCOME FUND
TSX: CFN.UN
EDMONTON, Dec. 20 /CNW/ - Carfinco Income Fund ("Carfinco" or the "Fund") today released the details of a one-time unit distribution, which was originally announced on December 7th of this year. The details are being announced today as the calculations required in determining the precise nature of the distribution could not be completed until after the close of trading on December 17, 2010.
Unitholders will receive a one-time year-end trust unit distribution of 0.02549 (2,549/100,000) units per unit held, for a value of 19 cents per unit. The Board of Trustees has concluded that it is in the best interests of the unitholders to pay them the cash equivalent of any fractional units that they would otherwise be entitled to under the distribution. This distribution is in addition to the total monthly and special cash distribution of 14 cents per unit announced for December 2010 and brings Carfinco's total cash and unit distributions to 78.5 cents per unit for 2010.
The distribution is based on the weighted average closing trading price of the units during the ten business days immediately preceding the record date of December 20, 2010, which is $7.454, and a distribution value of 19 cents per unit. The distribution is payable on December 31, 2010 to unitholders of record on December 20, 2010. The ex-distribution date was December 16, 2010.
The cash and units to be distributed are based on an estimate by the Board of Trustees of the year-end taxable income of the Fund. The unit distribution is subject to TSX acceptance.
