Dividend Growth Split Corp. Announces Extension of Term

TORONTO, March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dividend Growth Split Corp. (the “Fund”) is pleased to announce that the board of directors of the Fund has approved an extension of the maturity date of the class A shares (the “Class A Shares”) and preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of the Fund. The current maturity date of September 27, 2024 will be extended for an additional term of approximately 5 years to August 30, 2029. The Preferred Share dividend rate for the extended term will be announced at least 60 days prior to the current September 27, 2024 maturity date and will be based on market yields for preferred shares with similar terms at that time. The term extension allows Class A shareholders to continue their investment with an attractive distribution rate of 20.5% based on the March 8, 2024 closing price, and the opportunity for capital appreciation.⁽¹⁾ The extension of the term of the Fund is not a taxable event and enables shareholders to defer potential capital gains tax liability that would have otherwise been realized on redemption of Class A Shares or Preferred Shares at the end of the term, until such time that shares are disposed of by shareholders.
