Important information on CDI cancellation requests.

Vanguard Investments Australia Ltd recently announced a final distribution for the Vanguard US Total Market Shares Index ETF (ASX:VTS). The distribution amount has been set at US$0.9854 per unit for holders of the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) Depositary Interests (CDIs). This payment will be converted to Australian dollars for local investors, with the applicable US withholding taxes already deducted. It is important to note that there is no option for distribution reinvestment for this ETF.

Investors should be aware of the following critical dates regarding the distribution: The Ex Distribution Date is set for March 27, 2025, followed by the Record Date on March 28, 2025. The conversion of funds based on the prevailing foreign exchange rate will occur on April 22, 2025, with the final payment to investors scheduled for April 29, 2025. To be eligible for the distribution, holders must be registered by the Record Date. Furthermore, to ensure prompt and correct payments, it's crucial that investors verify their bank details with Computershare, the registrar, before the Record Date.

Due to the time zone differences and settlement periods between the US and Australia, Vanguard has received a waiver from the ASX Settlement Operating Rules 13.9.4. As a result, cancellation requests for CDIs that are received on the Record Date will be deferred and processed on March 31, 2025. This adjustment ensures that all stakeholders are accommodated fairly and that transactions are handled efficiently.

This distribution marks an important event for investors of (VTS), providing them with the latest financial benefits from their investment in US markets. As these dates approach, investors should prepare and make any necessary arrangements to meet the requirements outlined to benefit from the upcoming distribution.
