Distribution Policy
Distributions will be declared and paid
quarterly on the Units. LROC Preferred Unit distributions will consist
primarily of returns of capital and may, in certain circumstances,
include capital gains distributions. For historical distribution
amounts, please see distribution
information.
Retraction Rights
The following provides a summary of the retraction rights
available to Unitholders. Please refer to the prospectus for complete
details.
Unlike most mutual funds the Units are listed allowing holders to
exit by selling their Units in the stock market. In addition, they are
also retractable on demand at any time by the holders, but holders will
only receive the proceeds from such retraction on the last business day
of a month.
On that date Unitholders are entitled to receive the lesser of:
- 90% of the market price of the LROC Preferred Units on the
principal stock exchange on which the LROC Preferred Units are listed
during the ten consecutive trading period commencing on the fifth
business day of a calendar month prior to the next retraction date; and
- 100% of the closing market price of the LROC Preferred Units
on the principal stock exchange on which the LROC Preferred Units are
listed on the Retraction Notice Date immediately following the date
that the LROC Preferred Units were surrendered for retraction.
The total retraction price payable by the Trust will be satisfied
by way of a cash payment subject to a $10,000 monthly limit. If the
total cash payment for all LROC Preferred Units surrendered for the
retraction in a month is greater than $10,000, then the payment will be
satisfied by way of a distribution of assets of the Trust consisting of
LP Units.
Redemption
The Trust is scheduled to wind up on or about June 30, 2015, and
at that time, the Trust will distribute to Unitholders an amount per
LROC Preferred Unit equal to the lesser of: (i) the subscription price
of $25.00, together with any accrued and unpaid distributions; and (ii)
the amount received by the Trust from KL LP as distributions on the LP
Units held by the Trust from proceeds from the sale of Portfolio
Securities which are delivered to KL LP on the settlement of the
Purchase Agreement (net of certain fees and expenses).
Taxation
Distributions received by the Trust will be
distributed to the Unitholders quarterly as tax-efficient returns of
capital. Amounts received as a return of capital are not taxable but
must be used to reduce the adjusted cost base of an investor's Units.
