BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited (“BlackRock Canada”), an
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK),
today announced the estimated 2023 annual reinvested capital gains
distributions for the iShares ETFs listed on the TSX or Cboe
Canada.
These estimates are for the annual non-cash
capital gains distributions, which are typically reinvested in
additional units of the respective funds at the year-end, and do
not include estimates of ongoing periodic (e.g., monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual) cash distribution amounts. The
additional units will be immediately consolidated with the
previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding
units following the distribution will equal the number of units
outstanding prior to the distribution.
We expect to announce the final annual
reinvested distribution amounts, as well as the ongoing cash
distribution amounts, as applicable, for 2023, on or about December
20, 2023. The record date for the 2023 annual distributions will be
December 29, 2023, payable on January 4, 2024. The actual taxable
amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2023, including
the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to
brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or
“CDS”) in early 2024.
