Shares of the Fund will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Exchange on October 2, 2024.
Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Implications
In cases where shareholders hold fractional shares following the reverse split, the Fund will redeem those fractional shares for cash at the Fund’s split-adjusted NAV on the Effective Date. This redemption could result in tax consequences, with shareholders potentially recognizing gains or losses based on the redemption of fractional shares. However, apart from this, the reverse split will not be a taxable event for shareholders, and no transaction fees will be charged for the redemption of fractional shares.
