BMO Announces Special Reinvested Distribution for BMO Global REIT Fund (Active ETF Series)

TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2025 /CNW/ - BMO Investments Inc. today announced a special reinvested distribution for unitholders of Active ETF Series of BMO Global REIT Fund (Cboe Canada: BGRT) (the "Fund").

The reinvested distribution for the Active ETF Series of BMO Global REIT Fund generally represent net realized capital gains and net income. They are not paid in cash, but are reinvested in additional Canadian dollar denominated units of the Active ETF Series of BMO Global REIT Fund at a price equal to the net asset value per unit of the Fund.

The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the special distribution will be equal to the number of units outstanding prior to the special distribution. A reinvested distribution will increase the unitholder's adjusted cost base for the Active ETF Series of BMO Global REIT Fund. Non-resident unitholders may have the number of additional units reduced because of withholding tax.

Unitholders of record at the close of business on October 6, 2025 will receive the reinvested distribution on October 9, 2025. The actual taxable amount of the special reinvested distribution, including its tax characteristic, will be reported to brokers through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (CDS) in early 2026.

The special reinvested distribution amount per unit of the Active ETF Series of the Fund is as follows:
