Desjardins announces 2025 estimated annual reinvested distributions for Desjardins ETFs

Desjardins Investments Inc. (DI), acting as manager for Desjardins Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), announces today the estimated annual reinvested income and/or capital gains distributions (the “reinvested distributions”) for the ETFs listed on the TSX. Unitholders of record on December 31, 2025 will receive the reinvested distributions payable in respect of these ETFs on or about January 8, 2026. The reinvested distributions will be reinvested in units of the applicable ETF and the resulting units will be immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change. Investors holding their units outside registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and an increase in the adjusted cost base of their units.

These estimated amounts are for the reinvested distributions only, and do not include the ongoing periodic cash distribution amounts which are being announced in a separate press release.

Please note that these are estimated reinvested distributions only, based on data as of December 15, 2025and subject to further revisions to per unit amounts prior to the record date. DI expects to issue a press release on or about December 31, 2025 confirming the final amounts of the reinvested distributions for all ETFs. The amounts of the reinvested distributions are estimated amounts only and may vary between December 23, 2025and December 31, 2025.
