Fidelity Investments Canada ULC Announces Estimated Special Distributions for Terminating ETFs

TORONTO, Sept. 5, 2024 /CNW/ – Fidelity Investments Canada ULC (“Fidelity”) is correcting its press release issued on August 30, 2024, which announced the estimated special reinvested distributions for Series L units of Fidelity U.S. Dividend for Rising Rates Currency Neutral ETF, Fidelity U.S. Low Volatility Currency Neutral ETF, Fidelity U.S. Momentum Currency Neutral ETF and Fidelity Total Metaverse ETF (the “Fidelity ETFs”), to include the estimated special reinvested distributions for the ETF Series units of Fidelity Global Small Cap Opportunities Fund.

The Fidelity ETFs will be de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange or Cboe Canada Inc., as the case may be, at Fidelity’s request, and terminate at the close of business on September 6, 2024.  The tax-deferred merger involving the continuing fund, Fidelity Global Small Cap Opportunities Fund,  will be implemented on September 6, 2024.

Please note that these are estimated amounts only, as of August 23, 2024 for the Fidelity ETFs and as of August 30, 2024 for the ETF Series of Fidelity Global Small Cap Opportunities Fund, and reflect forward-looking information, which means the estimates may change.

These estimates are for the special distributions only, which will be reinvested, and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change. These distributions will be payable on September 6, 2024, prior to the terminations or completion of the tax-deferred merger for Fidelity Global Small Cap Opportunities Fund.

We expect to announce the final special reinvested distribution amounts on or about September 9, 2024.
