Middlefield REIT INDEXPLUS ETF Announces Special Distribution

CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Middlefield REIT INDEXPLUS ETF (the “Fund”) (TSX: IDR) announces a special distribution will be made to holders of record as at the close of business on December 31, 2019. The special distribution is the result of two factors. First, the Fund’s successful performance, with an annualized total return of 9.8% since inception in April 2011, 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 2019 taxable income in early 2020, it is expected that the special distribution will be approximately $0.11 per unit. The special distribution will be automatically reinvested in additional units to be determined based on the net asset value per unit as of December 31, 2019. 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. This special distribution is in addition to the regular monthly distributions of $0.075 per trust unit.Unitholders are reminded they may elect to automatically reinvest cash distributions made by the Fund in additional units through participation in the Fund’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”). Unitholders can enroll in the DRIP program by contacting their investment advisor or Middlefield.The Fund’s units trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol IDR.For further information, please visit our website at www.middlefield.com or contact Nancy Tham or Michael Bury in our Sales and Marketing Department at 1.888.890.1868.This press release contains forward-looking information.
