Evolve Announces Special Distributions for the Gold Miners Split Corp.

TORONTO, Dec. 9, 2019 /CNW/ - Evolve Funds Group Inc. ("Evolve") on behalf of Gold Miners Split Corp. announces the Capital Gains Dividend payable as non-cash notional distribution amount per unit ("Notional Distribution")  for Gold Miners Split Corp. (the "Evolve Fund") for the period ending December 16, 2019.

Unitholders of record on December 16, 2019 will receive Notional Distribution payable on or about December 23, 2019 as indicated in the table below:

These amounts are for Capital Gains Dividend only, which will be re-invested, and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change. The Capital Gains Dividend does not include any regular quarterly distribution amounts.

Holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive any dividends that the Board of Directors may declare subject to the prior rights of the holders of Preferred Shares. If the Company realizes capital gains on the sale of Portfolio Securities and would be liable to pay tax thereon, the Company may declare a Capital Gains Dividend on the Class A Shares. No dividends or other distributions will be paid on the Class A Shares in any month as long as any dividends on the Preferred Shares are then in arrears or so long as the NAV per Unit is equal to or less than $15.00. At this time, other than for tax purposes, the Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring dividends in respect of the Class A Shares.

The investment objectives for the Preferred Shares are (i) to provide holders of Preferred Shares with cumulative preferential quarterly cash dividends, the amount of which is fixed by the board of directors of the Company in respect of each three-year term of the Company; and (ii) on May 31, 2022 (the "Termination Date") to pay the holders of the Preferred Shares an amount per Preferred Share equal to $10.00 per Preferred Share (the "Preferred Share Repayment Amount"). The quarterly cash distribution will be $0.15 per Preferred Share ($0.60 per annum), representing a yield of 6.0% per annum on the issue price of $10.00 per Preferred Share until the Termination Date. The Preferred Shares are not rated.

Evolve, the manager of the Company, provides investment advisory services and portfolio management services to the Company.
