Nature of Business: The ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the StrataQuant® Health Care Index (the "Index"), net of expenses. The investment strategy of the ETF is to invest in and hold the constituent securities of the Index in the same proportion as they are reflected in the Index or securities intended to replicate the performance of the Index. The Index results from applying the AlphaDEX™ methodology to the Russell 1000® Index, a market index representing the large and mid-capitalization segment of the U.S. equity universe, and then selecting the constituent securities for the Index from those qualifying stocks included in the health care sector.
Transfer Agent & Registrar: Equity Financial Trust Company, at its principal offices in Toronto.
Distributions and Automatic Reinvestment: Cash distributions on Units of the ETF will be made quarterly.

To the extent that the expenses of the ETF exceed the income generated by the ETF in any given month, quarter or year, as the case may be, it is not expected that a monthly distribution will be paid.

On an annual basis, the ETF will ensure that the net income and net realized capital gains of the ETF has been distributed to Unitholders to such an extent that the ETF will not be liable for ordinary income tax thereon. To the extent that the ETF has not distributed the full amount of its net income or capital gains in any year, the difference between such amount and the amount actually distributed by the ETF will be paid as a "reinvested distribution". Reinvested distributions, net of any required withholding tax, will be reinvested automatically in additional Units at a price equal to the NAV per Unit of the ETF and the Units will be immediately consolidated such that the number of outstanding Units following the distribution will equal the number of Units outstanding prior to the distribution.
Initial Issuance of Units: Pursuant to the Prospectus, Units will be issued and sold on a continuous basis and there will be no maximum number of Units that may be issued. Units sold in connection with the Offering for the ETF will amount to 100,000 Units at a price of $20.00 per Unit.
