American Core Sectors Dividend Fund Announces Exchange Ratios(Canada Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CALGARY, Dec. 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Middlefield Group, on behalf of American Core Sectors Dividend Fund (the "Fund"), is pleased to announce the exchange ratios for the exchange offer by the Fund (the "Exchange Option") being made under the final prospectus of the Fund dated November 28, 2013. The Fund's investment objectives are to provide: (i) unitholders with stable monthly cash distributions; and (ii) long-term total return through capital appreciation of the Fund's investment portfolio; through an investment strategy which focuses on a diversified, actively managed portfolio comprised primarily of dividend-paying securities with a focus on the U.S. consumer, financials, industrials and information technology sectors (collectively, the "Core Sectors") that are expected by Middlefield Capital Corporation to benefit from growth in the U.S. economy. The initial target distribution yield for the Fund is 5.5% per annum based on the original subscription price (or $0.04583 per unit per month or $0.55 per unit per annum). Middlefield Capital Corporation will act as the investment advisor to the Fund. The number of units issuable for each class of security of an Exchange Eligible Issuer (as listed below) (the "Exchange Ratio") has been determined by dividing the weighted average trading price of such security on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or such other exchange or market on which such security is then listed) during the period of five consecutive trading days ending on December 5, 2013 (the "Pricing Period"), as adjusted to reflect distributions declared by any Exchange Eligible Issuer that will not be received by the Fund, by $10.00. Holders of securities of Exchange Eligible Issuers who deposited such securities pursuant to the Exchange Option will continue to be holders of record up to but not including the date of the closing of the offering of units and will be entitled to receive distributions in respect of such securities of Exchange Eligible Issuers that are declared up to but not including such date. Each Exchange Ratio will be rounded down to five decimal places. The table below sets out the Exchange Eligible Issuers, the securities of which may be accepted by the Fund pursuant to the Exchange Option, including the name of the Exchange Eligible Issuer, its ticker symbol, its CUSIP number, its ISIN, its volume weighted average trading price during the Pricing Period and the Exchange Ratios.
