Global Dividend Growers Income Fund announced a special distribution will be made to holders of record as at the close of business on December 31, 2021. The special distribution is the result of two factors. First, the Fund’s successful performance, with an annualized total return of 12.1% since inception in March 2013, has been accompanied by realized capital gains. Second, the Fund’s Declaration of Trust requires that all taxable income be allocated to unitholders prior to the end of its taxation year. Subject to a final review of the Fund’s 2021 taxable income in early 2022, it is expected that the special distribution will be approximately $0.70 per unit but may change depending on portfolio transactions that may occur before year end. This special distribution is in addition to the regular monthly distributions of $0.06 per trust unit. The special distribution is expected to consist of (i) a cash distribution estimated to be $0.35 per unit; and (ii) a distribution estimated to be $0.35 per unit that will be automatically reinvested in additional units to be determined based on the net asset value per unit as of December 31, 2021. Immediately following the issuance, the units of the Fund will be automatically consolidated such that the number of units will remain unchanged from the number outstanding immediately prior to the special distribution. The payment date for the cash distribution will be January 14, 2022.
