Perennial Income Generator Active ETF Announces EOFY Distribution of 1.785 Cents Per Unit and DRP Price at $3.7044

EOFY Distribution of 1.785 Cents Per Unit Officially Confirmed for EIGA Investors

Perennial Investment Management Limited, the Responsible Entity and issuer of the Perennial Income Generator Active ETF, has officially confirmed the EOFY distribution at 1.785 cents per unit. This payment pertains to the 2025–26 financial year and aligns with the fund’s objective to provide attractive, tax-effective income through a diversified Australian equities portfolio.

This EOFY distribution is distinct from the fund’s regular monthly payouts, marking a significant event in the annual income cycle for investors. The fund aims to achieve a gross yield—adjusted for franking credits—that exceeds the S&P/ASX 300 Franking Credit Adjusted Daily Total Return Index (Tax – Exempt). The announcement did not specify the franking credit amount attached to this distribution.

DRP Issue Price Established at $3.7044 for June 2026 Distribution

Alongside the cash payout, Perennial Investment Management has set the DRP issue price at $3.7044 per unit for this distribution period. The DRP enables eligible unitholders to reinvest distributions into additional units of the fund, facilitating compounding of returns without incurring brokerage fees associated with market purchases.

The $3.7044 DRP price will be the reference for issuing new units to participants opting to reinvest. Unitholders wishing to participate or withdraw from the DRP had to submit their election by 2PM on Tuesday, 30 June 2026, the DRP Election Date. Those who missed this deadline should contact Perennial’s client services for options regarding future distributions.

Important Dates for EIGA Distribution Participants

Perennial’s distribution timetable highlights four key dates: the ex-distribution date was Monday, 29 June 2026, requiring investors to hold units before this date to qualify for the distribution. The record date was Tuesday, 30 June 2026, which determined registered unitholders eligible for payment.

The payment date is Friday, 10 July 2026, when eligible unitholders with valid bank details will receive electronic payments. Distributions are not issued by cheque or mail, so timely registration of electronic payment details with SS&C Solutions Pty Ltd is essential to avoid payment delays.

Electronic-Only Distribution Payments and SS&C Solutions’ Role

Perennial has confirmed that all EIGA distributions are paid exclusively via electronic bank transfer. Unlike some funds that offer cheque payments, this fund requires unitholders to have valid bank account details registered with SS&C Solutions Pty Ltd to receive their distributions directly.

If valid bank details exist but no payment method is specified, distributions will be paid in cash. If no bank details are recorded, the fund will default to enrolling the unitholder in the DRP. Unitholders can update their details or select their preferred payment method through the Change of Details form on Perennial’s website, by calling 1300 730 032, or emailing [email protected].

Managing Bank Details and DRP Elections via Perennial’s Investor Centre

Unitholders can manage distribution preferences through the Investor Centre portal at https://perennial.unitregistry.com.au/investor, where they can view holdings, update payment information, and manage DRP participation online. A Change of Details form is also available at https://perennial.net.au/invest-with-us/#forms for those preferring written instructions.

The full Distribution Reinvestment Plan document can be downloaded from https://perennial.net.au/investor-centre/. Given the strict electronic payment policy and DRP administrative requirements, Perennial’s investor services team is available to assist unitholders who need help verifying their registration status or completing forms.

EIGA’s Investment Objective: Delivering Tax-Effective Income from Australian Equities

The Perennial Income Generator Active ETF is an ASX-listed registered managed investment scheme structured as an Open-Ended Fund. Its primary goal is to provide investors with attractive tax-effective income through a diversified portfolio of Australian shares, distributing income monthly. The fund is actively managed by Perennial Value Management Limited (ABN 22 090 879 904, AFSL: 247293).

The fund’s benchmark is the S&P/ASX 300 Franking Credit Adjusted Daily Total Return Index (Tax – Exempt), and it targets a gross yield—adjusted for franking credits—that exceeds this index. EIGA is designed mainly for investors seeking regular, franking-enhanced income from Australian equities rather than capital growth. The confirmed EOFY distribution of 1.785 cents per unit represents the income allocation for the 2025–26 financial year.

Monthly Distributions Enhance EIGA’s Appeal for Income-Focused Investors

A key feature of the Perennial Income Generator Active ETF is its monthly distribution schedule, which the fund’s mandate explicitly supports. This frequent payout structure benefits income-dependent investors, including retirees and those managing Cash Flow, by providing a predictable income stream compared to quarterly or semi-annual distributions. The EOFY distribution supplements the regular monthly payments rather than replacing them.

As an open-ended fund, the number of units on issue is expected to grow over time with new investors and DRP reinvestments. This growth can influence per-unit income yield and future distribution rates depending on income generation and portfolio composition. The company did not provide forward guidance on future distributions in the announcement.

Governance Structure: Responsible Entity and Investment Manager Roles

The Perennial Income Generator Active ETF operates under a governance structure that separates the responsible entity and investment manager roles. Perennial Investment Management Limited (ABN 13 108 747 637, AFSL: 275101) serves as the responsible entity and product issuer, overseeing regulatory compliance. The investment management is conducted by Perennial Value Management Limited, a related entity with its own Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL: 247293).

This dual-entity arrangement is common among Australian exchange-traded managed funds, providing separation between administration and active investment decisions. Investors should review the fund’s Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD), available at www.perennial.net.au or by calling 1300 420 094, for detailed information on risks, fees, and suitability.

Implications of the EOFY Distribution Confirmation for EIGA Investors

The confirmation of the 1.785 cents per unit EOFY distribution and the $3.7044 DRP issue price concludes the 2025–26 income cycle for EIGA unitholders. Investors holding units before the 29 June 2026 ex-distribution date and registered by the 30 June 2026 record date will receive their final income payment for the financial year on 10 July 2026.

Going forward, investors will likely monitor the continuation of monthly distributions into the 2026–27 financial year, along with any portfolio or distribution rate changes that may affect income generation. The announcement did not provide information on the immediate share price impact. Investors are advised to seek independent financial, tax, and legal advice when making decisions about their holdings, especially considering the tax-effective nature of the distributions and franking credit implications.
