Distributions for the Horizons Enhanced Income US Equity (USD)
ETF are declared and paid in U.S. dollars, including those listed
under the Canadian dollar-traded ticker HEA. The approximate
Canadian dollar equivalent distribution rate for HEA is $0.07641
per unit. For unitholders who hold the Canadian
dollar-traded HEA, 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.
