Nature of Business: This Vanguard ETF seeks to track, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad global equity index that focuses on providing coverage of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada, which Index is hedged to the Canadian dollar. Currently, this Vanguard ETF seeks to track the FTSE Developed All Cap ex North America Hedged to CAD Index (or any successor thereto). It invests directly or indirectly primarily in large-, mid- and small capitalization stocks of companies located in developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada, and uses derivative instruments to seek to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the securities included in the FTSE Developed All Cap ex North America Index to the Canadian dollar.
Distributions: Income distributions, if any, will be paid in cash and are expected to be paid quarterly. Cash distributions may include a return of capital. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be paid annually and will be automatically reinvested in additional Units. Immediately following such reinvestment, the number of Units outstanding will be consolidated so that the NAV per Unit following the capital gains distribution and reinvestment is the same as it would have been if the distribution had not been paid.
Initial Issuance of Units: Pursuant to the terms of 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 Vanguard ETF will amount to 100,000 Units at a price of $25.00 per Unit.
