TORONTO, Jan. 26, 2023 /CNW/ - TD Asset Management Inc. ("TDAM") today announced notional non-cash reinvested distributions (each, a "Notional Distribution") for the TD Global Carbon Credit Index ETF (the "TD ETF"). A Notional Distribution occurs when a distribution is made in the form of units, and then immediately consolidated with the units held prior to the distribution, so that the total number of units held after the distribution is identical to the number of units held prior to the distribution.

The Notional Distributions have been made to all unitholders of record of the TD ETF as indicated in the table below:

Up until November 30, 2022, the TD ETF did not qualify as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). The TD ETF was considered a unit trust, as such term is defined under the Tax Act.  For purposes of the "mark-to-market" rules contained in the Tax Act, and because more than 50% of the market value of the TD ETF was held by one or more financial institutions, it was determined that as at the record date indicated above and was now considered a financial institution, as such a term is defined under the Tax Act.

The Tax Act contains special rules for determining the income of financial institutions, including, but not limited to, the realization of all unrealized gains or losses on mark-to-market property held by the financial institution on income account at the end of any given tax year. In acknowledging this change of status, the TD ETF was required to recognize a deemed year-end for tax purposes and distribute any net income and net realized capital gains earned or realized by the TD ETF up until the deemed year end (reflected by the record date indicated above).

In early 2023, the tax characteristics of all distributions for 2022 for the TD ETF will be reported to brokers via the Canadian Depository for Securities (CDS).
