(1) Based on the period
September 19, 2014 to October 22, 2014, where the prior month's net
asset value per unit is adjusted to include the prior month's
distribution.
(2) Annualized and based on the applicable
October 22, 2014 net asset value per
unit which is available at www.HorizonsETFs.com.
(3) Annualized and based on the applicable
September 19, 2014 net asset value
per unit which is available at www.HorizonsETFs.com.
(4) The absolute change of the prior month's previously
announced annualized distribution yield to the current month's
annualized distribution yield.
(5) Distributions for Horizons Enhanced Income US
Equity (USD) ETF are declared and paid in U.S. dollars, including
those listed under the Canadian dollar traded tickers HEA and
HEA.A. The approximate Canadian dollar equivalent
distribution rates for HEA and HEA.A are $0.12552 per unit and $0.11713 per unit, respectively. For unitholders
who hold Canadian dollar traded HEA and HEA.A, distribution
payments will typically be converted to Canadian dollars by the
unitholder's account holder.
Each ETF does not have a fixed distribution but
pays distributions monthly. Distribution rates are generally based
on the average current volatility of the securities held by the
ETF, along with any dividend income received, less expenses payable
by the ETF. The amount of monthly cash distributions are expected
to fluctuate from month to month and there can be no assurance that
an ETF will make any distributions in any particular month or
months. Monthly distributions will be paid in cash, unless the
investor has chosen to participate in the ETF's reinvestment
plan.

Distributions please visit www.HorizonsETFs.com
