Global Dividend Growth Split Corp. extends maturity date to June 27, 2031, from June 30, 2026. Class A shares offer a 10.7% distribution rate and a 19.6% annual return over the past five years, outperforming the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Total Return Index and the MSCI World Total Return Index.

Global Dividend Growth Split Corp. has announced an extension of the maturity date for its Class A shares and preferred shares. The current maturity date of June 30, 2026, has been extended to June 27, 2031 [1]. This extension allows shareholders to continue their investment with an attractive distribution rate and the opportunity for capital appreciation.

The Class A shares now offer a distribution rate of 10.7%, based on the August 11, 2025 closing price. Over the past five years, these shares have delivered a 19.6% annual return, outperforming both the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Total Return Index and the MSCI World Total Return Index [1]. The Class A shareholders have also received cash distributions of $3.45 per share since inception, with the option to reinvest these distributions commission-free.

Preferred shareholders benefit from preferential cash dividends and a 5.1% annual return since inception. As of July 31, 2025, the preferred shares have 54% asset coverage, providing a high level of downside protection [1]. The extension of the term is not a taxable event and enables shareholders to defer potential capital gains tax liability until such time that shares are disposed of by shareholders.

The Fund is well-positioned to benefit from secular growth opportunities in infrastructure driven by artificial intelligence (AI), government spending, electrification, and the reshoring of manufacturing. It invests in a globally diversified and actively managed portfolio consisting primarily of dividend-paying securities of power and infrastructure companies facilitating the transition toward decarbonization and environmental sustainability [1].

The extension of the term offers shareholders the opportunity to continue their investment in a fund that has consistently delivered strong returns and offers attractive distribution rates. However, investors should carefully consider their investment goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon before making any investment decisions.
