Mackenzie Investments Announces Additional Final Year-End Reinvested Distributions for its Exchange Traded Funds

TORONTO, Feb. 29, 2024 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Investments today announced additional final year-end reinvested distributions for its exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") for the 2023 tax year. Please note that this is an additional year-end distribution to the previously announced year-end reinvested distributions on December 21, 2023.

These are distributions of undistributed net income and/or capital gains. The distributions will be reinvested in additional units of the respective ETFs and do not include ongoing monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the units previously outstanding, so that the number of units outstanding following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution.

 The record date for these distributions is December 29, 2023. The actual taxable amounts distributed by the ETFs in 2023, including the tax characteristics of these amounts, will be reported to brokers through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. in early 2024.

Details of the final per-unit distribution amounts are as follows:

Mackenzie ETF	Ticker Symbol	Distribution per unit	NAVPU as at December 29, 2023	Currency	CUSIP	ISIN	Exchange
Mackenzie All-Equity Allocation ETF	MEQT	0.45953	20.51096	CAD	55452A104	CA55452A1049	TSX
Mackenzie Canadian Government Long Bond Index ETF	QLB	0.12988	108.24423	CAD	55455N103	CA55455N1033	TSX

Commissions, management fees, brokerage fees and expenses all may be associated with Exchange Traded Funds. Please read the prospectus before investing. Exchange Traded Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

The payment of distributions is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. The payment of distributions should not be confused with an Exchange Traded Fund's performance, rate of return or yield. If distributions paid by the Exchange Traded Fund are greater than the performance of the Exchange Traded Fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by an Exchange Traded Fund, and income and dividends earned by an Exchange Traded Fund are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.
