安大略省多倫多--(Newsfile Corp.-2022年4月18日)-加拿大最大的數字資產投資基金管理公司3iQ Corp.我很高興地宣佈，Ether Fund(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：QETH.UN)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：QETH.U)(以下簡稱“3iQ基金”)的單位(以下簡稱“單位”)持有人將有兩個額外的選擇：(I)自願選擇將其持有的全部或部分單位轉換為3iQ CoinShares Ether ETF(“3iQ ETF”)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：ETHQ)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：ETHQ.U)的單位，以及(Ii)以太實物贖回。仍可按單位資產淨值的100%贖回現金。3iQ基金首次年度贖回日期為2022年6月16日。
Conversion
轉換
Unitholders can elect to convert all or part of their Units into units of the 3iQ ETF. This conversion will be effected on a relative net asset value basis (NAV-for-NAV). Unitholders should be aware that the redemption portion of the transaction will constitute a disposition for tax purposes of Units of the 3iQ Fund by unitholders.
基金單位持有人可以選擇將其全部或部分基金單位轉換為3iQ ETF的基金單位。這一轉換將在相對資產淨值的基礎上進行。基金單位持有人應注意，交易的贖回部分將構成基金單位持有人為税務目的而處置3iQ基金的基金單位。
In-kind Redemption
實物贖回
Unitholders holding 20,000 Units or more who wish to redeem their Units and who have accounts with the sub-custodian of the 3iQ Fund, Gemini Trust Company, LLC, may, with the consent of 3iQ, redeem their Units for ether. Ether delivered pursuant to an in-kind redemption will be valued at the net asset value of the Units on the annual redemption date.
持有20,000個或以上單位的單位持有人，如欲贖回其單位，並在3iQ基金的分託管人Gemini Trust Company，LLC有户口，可在3iQ同意下，贖回其單位以太。根據實物贖回交付的乙醚將按單位於年度贖回日的資產淨值估值。
Process
過程
Unitholders electing to exercise their redemption right must submit a redemption request, no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on May 31, 2022 (the "cut-off") to The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS") through their investment dealer and, in the case of the conversion option, direct that the redemption proceeds be applied to the purchase of units of the 3iQ ETF. Unitholders should note that their investment dealer may require additional time in order to be able to submit a redemption and purchase notice through CDS in time to meet the cut-off and should therefore contact their investment dealer well in advance of the cut-off time.
選擇行使贖回權的單位持有人必須在下午5：00之前提交贖回請求。於2022年5月31日(“截止日期”)通過其投資交易商向加拿大證券託管有限公司(“CDS”)支付贖回款項，並就轉換期權而言，指示贖回所得款項用於購買3iQ ETF的單位。單位持有人應注意，他們的投資交易商可能需要額外的時間，以便能夠及時通過CDS提交贖回和購買通知，以滿足截止時間，因此應在截止時間之前聯繫他們的投資交易商。
