March 02 2023 - 8:27AM
Ninepoint Partners LP, the manager (the “
Manager”
or “
Ninepoint”) of Ninepoint Bitcoin ETF
(“
Ninepoint Bitcoin ETF” or the
“
Fund”) (TSX: BITC; BITC.U), announced today its
proposal to change the investment objectives of Ninepoint Bitcoin
ETF, subject to approval by the holders of units of the Fund
(“
Unitholders”) at a special meeting (the
“
Meeting”) to be held on or about April 20, 2023.
Ninepoint Bitcoin ETF’s current investment
objectives are to seek to provide Unitholders with exposure to
digital currency Bitcoin through an institutional-quality platform
that is cost-efficient to Unitholders and to provide a secure,
simpler and exchange-traded investment alternative for buying and
holding Bitcoin. Subject to Unitholder approval at the Meeting,
Ninepoint proposes changing the investment objectives of the Fund
to be to seek to provide Unitholders with capital appreciation by
investing in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of equity
and equity-related securities of companies that give investors
exposure to emerging technologies such as Web3, the blockchain and
digital asset-enabled internet. The change to the Fund’s investment
objectives is subject to Unitholder approval at the Meeting,
acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange and all other required
regulatory approvals. If approved, the change to the investment
objectives will be implemented in May 2023. The Fund will also
change its investment strategies, its name to Ninepoint Web3
Innovators Fund, and its tickers to TSX: TKN; TKN.U to better
reflect the Fund’s new investment objectives.
Web3 is a new vision of the internet,
incorporating concepts such as decentralization, digital assets and
blockchain technologies. As with previous eras of the web, the
companies that harness its potential could have an impact on every
industry in the economy from finance to telecommunication, energy,
media and beyond.
Further details surrounding the proposed change
to the Fund’s investment objectives and the other changes that
would occur together with this change will be outlined in the
Fund’s notice of special meeting of Unitholders and management
information circular that will be prepared and delivered to
Unitholders in connection with the Meeting and will be available
under the Fund’s profile on www.sedar.com.
