For Series T5 units, the Portfolio expects to make monthly distributions. At the end of each month, the Portfolio expects to distribute an amount equal to approximately one-twelfth of 5% of the net asset value per unit on the last day of the previous calendar year (or, if no units were outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year, the date on which the units are first available for purchase in the current calendar year). The monthly distribution will generally consist of net income, net realized capital gains, and/or return of capital. The Portfolio may make an additional distribution in December, but only to the extent required to ensure that the Portfolio will not pay income tax. The annual and monthly distribution rates may be adjusted from time to time at our discretion.

If the monthly amount distributed exceeds the Portfolio’s net income and net realized capital gains, such excess will constitute a return of capital. For Series T5, FT5, and ST5 units, it is likely that a greater proportion of the amount distributed will constitute a return of capital, when compared to series A, F, and S units. Generally, the Portfolio expects that the total amount of any returns of capital made by the Portfolio in any year should not exceed the amount of the net unrealized appreciation in the Portfolio’s assets for the year. A distribution to you by the Portfolio that is a return of capital will not generally be included in your income. Such a distribution, however, will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of your units of the Portfolio and may, therefore, result in you realizing a larger taxable capital gain (or smaller allowable capital loss) on a future disposition of the units. Further, to the extent that the adjusted cost base of your units of the Portfolio would otherwise be a negative amount as a result of you receiving a distribution on units that is a return of capital. The negative amount will be deemed to be a capital gain realized by you from a disposition of the units and your adjusted cost base of the units would be increased by the amount of such deemed gain to zero. Depending on market conditions, a significant portion of the Portfolio's distribution may be a return of capital for a certain period of time. The amount of the distributions is not guaranteed and may change from time to time without notice to unitholders.
