Cash Distributions
On October 8, 2008 the Fund suspended the payment of its monthly distributions after the payment of the October 15 distribution.
For distribution history and monthly tax treatment of distributions, please make the appropriate selection below:
Residents of Canada
Units of the Fund are eligible for registered plans, such as an RRSP, RRIF or RESP.
Individual Canadian resident unitholders, who hold their units outside of a registered plan, through a broker or other intermediary and who have received cash distributions during a particular calendar year, will receive a “T3 Supplementary” slip directly from their broker or intermediary, not from the Fund. Unitholders who are resident in the province of Quebec on December 31 of the particular calendar year will also receive a Relevé 16 slip from their broker or intermediary. The T3/Relevé 16 slips will provide sufficient detail as to the taxable portion of the cash distributions to the individual Canadian resident unitholders.
Unitholders who hold Fund units outside of a registered plan, who are Canadian residents and who sell their units, must determine their adjusted cost base (ACB) in calculating a capital gain or loss on disposition of the units. The ACB is the original cost of the units (including purchase commission) less return of capital received by the unitholder.
Residents of the US and other countries
Distributions paid to non-residents of Canada will be subject to the applicable withholding tax on distributions paid.
For more information, please consult your broker or tax advisor.
