*Special non-cash distribution. See Adjusted Cost Base section below.
Where units are held in a tax deferred plan (e.g. RRSP, RRIF or RESP), no amounts are required to be reported on the unitholder’s income tax return.
Adjusted Cost Base
The 2008 special non-cash distribution of $0.47 per unit was paid in the form of additional units. Immediately after the issuance of the additional units, the outstanding units of the Wajax Income Fund were consolidated such that the number of units outstanding remained unchanged from the number held immediately prior to the distribution.
A unitholder who holds a unit as capital property will add the special non-cash distribution of $0.47 per unit to the adjusted cost base of the unit.
General Tax Information for U.S. Unitholders
Distributions paid by the Fund to the U.S. unitholders are generally subject to Canadian withholding tax of 15%. The portion of the 2008 distribution that is considered to be a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (”E & P”) as determined in accordance with U.S. income tax principles. Wajax Income Fund is not required and does not intend to compute E & P for U.S. tax purposes. Unitholders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
