Seed Financial Income Fund Active ETF Announces Final Distribution of $0.10959207 Per Unit for June 2026

Seed Financial Income Fund Active ETF Confirms $0.10959207 Final Distribution Per Unit

Evolution Trustees Limited has confirmed that the Seed Financial Income Fund Active ETF will distribute a final payment of $0.10959207 per unit for the period ending 30 June 2026. This distribution represents the final income payout for the financial year and will be paid to all unitholders registered as of the record date, 2 July 2026.

The distribution is expressed in dollars per unit, with each unitholder’s total entitlement calculated according to their holdings at the record date. The announcement did not disclose the total aggregate distribution amount nor provide comparative data from previous periods. Investors seeking historical comparisons should consult prior fund communications or the Fund Manager’s records.

Estimated 9.28% Franking Credit on June 2026 Distribution

The final distribution carries an estimated franking credit of 9.28%. Franking credits are particularly relevant for Australian resident individuals and compliant Superannuation funds, as they may reduce taxable income depending on individual tax circumstances. This estimate aligns with typical managed fund practice at distribution announcement, pending final tax calculations.

Investors should consult financial or tax advisors to understand the impact of the franking level on their tax position. Detailed distribution component information will be provided in Payment Notices available via investors’ preferred communication channels and accessible through the Apex Investor Portal.

DRP Issue Price Set at $10.7154 Per Unit for July 2026 Allotment

The Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will operate for this distribution, with an issue price fixed at $10.7154 per unit. Eligible investors who participate in the DRP—or are deemed to participate—will receive additional units at this price instead of cash. The DRP allotment date coincides with the payment date, 14 July 2026.

Investors opting for cash payment who have provided valid bank account details to Apex Group before the 2 July 2026 record date will receive payments by 14 July 2026. The DRP terms and conditions are available at www.seedfm.com.au for investors wishing to review the plan details before making their election.

Ex-Distribution and Record Dates Define Distribution Eligibility

The ex-distribution date was 1 July 2026, meaning units purchased on or after this date are not eligible for the final distribution ending 30 June 2026. The record date was 2 July 2026, and only unitholders registered by this date are entitled to the distribution. These dates align with ASX settlement conventions and previously communicated schedules.

Given the T+2 settlement cycle for ASX-listed ETFs, investors purchasing units before the ex-distribution date must ensure their holdings are registered by the record date to qualify. The update reminded investors that eligibility depends on both purchase timing and registration on the fund’s register by 2 July 2026.

DRP Election Deadline on 3 July 2026 Requires Timely Response

Unitholders wishing to participate in or opt out of the DRP must submit their election to Apex Group by 5:00pm Australian Eastern Standard Time on 3 July 2026. Elections received after this deadline may not be processed for this distribution period. Investors can update preferences via the Apex Investor Portal.

Importantly, investors who have not specified a distribution method or who selected cash payment but have not provided valid bank account details before the record date will be automatically enrolled in the DRP, receiving units instead of cash. Those preferring cash payments should confirm their bank details promptly.

Payment Date of 14 July 2026 Finalizes Distribution Process

Both cash payments and DRP unit allotments will be executed on 14 July 2026. Eligible unitholders can expect cash distributions credited to their nominated accounts or new units allocated at the DRP issue price on this date. Aligning payment and allotment dates simplifies the distribution timeline.

The overall timetable—from the 1 July 2026 ex-distribution date to the 14 July 2026 payment date—spans approximately two weeks, a relatively concise period for managed funds. Investors with standing DRP elections or updated bank details may not need to take further action but are encouraged to verify their information to ensure smooth processing.

Apex Investor Portal Facilitates Distribution Management and Payment Notices

The Apex Investor Portal serves as the central platform for managing distribution preferences, updating bank details, and accessing Fund Payment Notices. This online portal enables unitholders to manage their SFIF holdings and elections without direct contact with the registrar, reflecting modern ETF administration practices in Australia.

Fund Payment Notices, which detail distribution components critical for tax reporting, will be distributed via the portal and investors’ chosen communication methods. Unitholders yet to register on the portal are encouraged to do so to ensure timely receipt of these important documents.

With the final distribution confirmed for the period ending 30 June 2026, investors should anticipate receipt of cash payments or DRP unit allotments by 14 July 2026. Those participating in the DRP should verify their new unit holdings reflect the $10.7154 issue price.
