Details on the Estimated Distribution and Fund Structure

Seed Financial Income Fund Active ETF has announced an estimated distribution of $0.02250026 per unit for the distribution period ending 31 July 2026. This amount reflects income generated by the fund’s investment portfolio during this timeframe. Evolution Trustees Limited, as the responsible entity (ARSN 678 888 821), oversees fund management and distribution administration. The fund operates as an exchange-traded fund, with units traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker SFIF.

Investors should note that the announced estimated distribution may vary from the final amount paid. A Final Distribution Announcement will be issued later confirming the exact distribution and any adjustments. Unitholders are advised to monitor fund communications to understand the precise distribution payable. The fund’s structure and distribution policy aim to provide consistent income while allowing flexibility to adjust distributions based on performance and market conditions.

Eligibility Criteria and Record Date Process

To qualify for the distribution, investors must be registered as unitholders on 4 August 2026, the record date. Distribution entitlements are based on unit holdings as of this date, regardless of purchase or sale dates outside this period. Units must be purchased before the ex-distribution date, 3 August 2026, and recorded by the record date to qualify.

The ex-distribution date, 3 August 2026, is the last day to buy units eligible for this distribution. Purchases on or after this date will not receive the current distribution. The record date on 4 August 2026 enables the registrar to confirm eligible unitholders. The one-day gap between ex-distribution and record dates aligns with standard Australian market practices for listed securities.

Distribution Payment Schedule and Procedures

Payments will be made on 14 August 2026, approximately ten days after the record date, allowing time to process payments. This period is used to verify unitholder records, calculate individual distributions, and arrange payment according to each unitholder’s election. Unitholders without updated payment details should act promptly to ensure receipt on the scheduled date.

Evolution Trustees Limited stresses that unitholders must provide accurate bank details to Apex Group before the record date to receive cash payments promptly. Those without nominated payment details will be automatically enrolled in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP), ensuring distributions are either paid in cash or reinvested as additional units. Investors preferring cash payments should update their banking information in advance.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) Details and Deadline

The fund’s DRP allows eligible investors to reinvest distributions into additional units instead of receiving cash. To participate, investors must submit their DRP election to Apex Group by 5:00pm AEST on 5 August 2026. Distributions for DRP participants will be reinvested per the plan’s terms, available at www.seedfm.com.au, facilitating compounding returns through automatic unit purchases.

The DRP applies by default to investors without a specified distribution method or bank details. Existing DRP participants need not act to continue participation unless they choose to withdraw. The plan’s terms explain reinvestment mechanics, timing, and how to join or exit.

Managing Distribution Preferences via Apex Investor Portal

Unitholders can conveniently manage distribution elections and update bank details through the Apex Investor Portal at https://www.apexgroup.com/technology-platforms/apex-investor-portal/. This platform allows investors to modify payment preferences or DRP participation without contacting the registrar directly, enhancing flexibility and ease of account management.

The portal supports real-time updates and reflects modern fund administration standards. Unitholders should ensure their information is current well before key dates. For assistance, contact details for Seed Funds Management and Evolution Trustees Limited are provided in the announcement. Keeping preferences and banking details updated is crucial for timely distribution processing.

Essential Dates for Unitholders to Note

The distribution schedule includes critical dates: ex-distribution on 3 August 2026, record date on 4 August 2026, DRP election deadline on 5 August 2026 at 5:00pm AEST, and payment date on 14 August 2026. Investors should mark these dates to ensure eligibility and timely receipt of distributions.

Purchasing units before the ex-distribution date entitles investors to this distribution but may reflect distribution-adjusted pricing. Sellers after the ex-distribution date will not receive this distribution. The timeline allows the fund administrator to process transactions and payments efficiently. Unitholders are encouraged to verify holdings and update preferences ahead of deadlines.
