(the \u201cFund\u201d) is pleased to announce its intention to complete a stock split of its class A shares (the \u201cShare Split\u201d) due to the Fund\u2019s strong performance. Class A shareholders of record at the close of business on February 24, 2026 will receive 20 additional class A shares for every 100 class A shares held, pursuant to the Share Split. The Share Split is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the \u201cTSX\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Class A shareholders will continue to receive regular monthly cash distributions targeted to be $0.10 per class A share following the Share Split. As a result, the total dollar amount of distributions to be paid to class A shareholders is expected to increase by approximately 20%. The Fund provides a distribution reinvestment plan, on a commission-free basis for class A shareholders that wish to reinvest distributions and realize the benefits of compound growth.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 10 years, the class A shares have delivered a 20.3% per annum total return based on net asset value, outperforming the S&#038;P\/TSX Equal Weight Diversified Banks Total Return Index by 5.6% per annum and the S&#038;P\/TSX Composite Total Return Index by 7.4% per annum.(1) Since inception, class A shareholders have received cash distributions of $23.85 per share.<\/p>\n<p>Following the completion of the Share Split, the preferred shares of the Fund are expected to have downside protection from a decline in the value of the Fund\u2019s portfolio of approximately 54%.(2)<\/p>\n<p>The class A shares are expected to commence trading on an ex-split basis at the opening of trading on February 24, 2026. No fractional class A shares will be issued and the number of class A shares each holder shall receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The Share Split is a non-taxable event.<\/p>\n<p>The Fund invests on an approximately equally weighted basis in a portfolio (the \u201cPortfolio\u201d) of common shares of the six largest Canadian banks: Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia, National Bank of Canada, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Bank of Montreal. In addition, the Fund may hold up to 10% of the total assets of the Portfolio in investments in global financial companies for the purpose of enhanced diversification and return potential.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This follows the 117-new-for-100-old Capital Unit split <a href=\"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/?p=50262\">announced last October<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Assiduous Reader <i>newbiepref<\/i> for <a href=\"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/?p=51546#comment-15464\">bringing this to my attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brompton Funds has announced: Brompton Split Banc Corp.
