OAKVILLE, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following the recent press release dated December 12, 2025, Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. (“Harvest”) is pleased to provide additional updates to the filing of a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for the Harvest Premium Yield Canadian Bank ETF (“HPYB”) and the Harvest Premium Yield Enhanced ETF (“HPYE”).

HPYB provides investors access to a Canadian Banks equity portfolio seeking long-term capital appreciation, on a levered basis, utilizing an active option strategy designed to provide steady cash distributions twice a month, while HPYE provides investors access to the same strategy and with cash distributions twice a month on a broad portfolio of equities. The amount and timing of the initial distribution per unit for HPYB and HPYE will be announced on listing date, subsequent to HPYB and HPYE completing the filing of the final prospectus and TSX listing approval.

“Harvest is pleased to offer two new premium yield ETFs for investors seeking equity exposure and attractive cash distributions paid twice a month,” said Michael Kovacs, President and CEO of Harvest. “HPYB and HPYE complement our growing array of equity income ETFs.”

Investment Objectives of the 2 new Harvest Premium Yield ETFs

HPYB will seek to provide Unitholders with (i) the opportunity for capital appreciation by investing, directly or indirectly, on a levered basis, in a portfolio of Equity Securities of Canadian banks; (ii) regular cash distributions; and (iii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than would otherwise be experienced by owning the securities held by HPYB, directly. To achieve lower overall volatility of portfolio returns and generate monthly premiums, HPYB will write covered call and/or covered put options on the Equity Securities held in its portfolio. The level of option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

HPYE will seek to provide Unitholders with (i) the opportunity for capital appreciation by investing, directly or indirectly, on a levered basis, in a portfolio of Equity Securities; (ii) regular cash distributions; and (iii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than would otherwise be experienced by owning the Equity Securities directly. To achieve lower overall volatility of portfolio returns and generate monthly premiums, HPYE will write covered call and/or covered put options on the Equity Securities held in its portfolio. The level of option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

HPYB and HPYE will pay cash distributions, if any, at least twice monthly at the discretion of Harvest as the manager.

Harvest, a registered investment fund manager and portfolio manager, will act as promoter, trustee, manager and portfolio manager of HPYB and HPYE and will be responsible for the administration of HPYB and HPYE.
