NBI will be terminating the ETF effective on or around November 29, 2024 (the "ETF Termination Date").

Investors in the ETF will be sent a notice of termination at least 60 days prior to the ETF Termination Date. Units of the ETF are anticipated to be voluntarily delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") at the request of NBI and cease trading following the market close on or around November 28, 2024.

After paying or making adequate provision for the liabilities and obligations of the ETF, NBI will, on or around the ETF Termination Date, distribute the net assets of the ETF on a pro rata basis among the unitholders of record on the ETF Termination Date based on the net asset value per unit of the ETF.
