Global X Investments Canada Inc. ("Global X") has announced today that it intends to consolidate shares of certain ETFs (the "Consolidating ETFs") and split the shares of the BetaPro Natural Gas Leveraged Daily Bear ETF ("HND") as indicated in the tables below.

Share Consolidations

After the close of trading on November 27, 2024, on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the shares of the Consolidating ETFs will be consolidated based on the ratio (the "Consolidation Ratio") set out below: 

The shares of the Consolidating ETFs will begin trading on a post-consolidated basis on November 28, 2024, the effective date of the consolidation.

When a share consolidation occurs, the net asset value per share is increased by the same ratio as the share consolidation so that the share consolidation has no impact on the value of the investor's total share position. An investor's cost per share is also increased by the same ratio as the share consolidation, although their total cost remains unchanged.

No fractional shares will be issued. Where the consolidation results in a fractional share, the number of post-consolidation shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, in the case of a fractional interest that is less than 0.5, or rounded up to the nearest whole number, in the case of a fractional interest that is 0.5 or greater.

Share Split

The shares of HND will be subdivided on the basis of the ratio (the "Split Ratio") as set out below. The split will be payable on November 27, 2024, to shareholders of record on November 26, 2024. HND will trade on a "due bill" basis at the opening of the TSX on November 26, 2024, until the closing of the TSX on November 27, 2024, inclusive (the "Due Bill Period"). HND will commence trading on a split-adjusted basis on November 28, 2024.

When a split occurs, the net asset value per share is decreased by the same ratio as the share split so that the share split has no impact on the value of the investor's total share position. An investor's cost per share is also decreased by the same ratio as the share split, although their total cost remains unchanged. Shareholders of HND on the record date will be entitled to receive additional shares for every share of HND they own on that date, as stated in the table above.

The "due bill" trading procedures of the TSX will apply to HND's split of their shares. A due bill is an entitlement attached to listed securities undergoing a corporate action, such as the ones described above. Shares of HND will trade on a due bill basis from the record date until the payment date, inclusive. Any trades that are executed on the TSX during the Due Bill Period will be identified to ensure purchasers of the shares of HND receive the entitlement to the share split. The due bill redemption date is expected to be November 28, 2024.

Global X reserves the right to cancel or amend these corporate actions if deemed appropriate to do so before the effective date of Thursday, November 28, 2024.

Shareholder Information

Shareholders do not need to take any action in connection with these transactions. Shareholders will have their brokerage accounts automatically updated to reflect the consolidation and share splits. Shareholders who have questions regarding the impact of these corporate actions should contact their brokerage firm.
