Please note that these are estimated amounts only. Circumstances may arise which could cause an ETF's estimate to change before its tax year ends on December 15, 2020.

Horizons ETFs expects to announce the final year-end cash distribution amounts, as well as regular monthly and quarterly cash distribution amounts, on or about December 22, 2020.
