Natixis Investment Managers to Close the Natixis Loomis Sayles Short Duration Income ETF (NYSE: LSST)

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Natixis Investment Managers (Natixis IM) announced today that it will liquidate and close the Natixis Loomis Sayles Short Duration Income ETF (NYSE: LSST). The decision was made by the Board of Trustees of the Natixis ETF Trust on the recommendation of the Fund’s adviser, Natixis Advisors, LLC.

Proceeds of the liquidation are currently expected to be sent to shareholders of the Fund on or about September 30, 2024 (the liquidation date). Effective as of the close of business on September 16, 2024, the Fund will no longer accept orders for the purchase of creation units. It is expected that the final day of trading for the Fund on NYSE Arca will be on September 25, 2024, and subsequently will be delisted on September 26, 2024.

In connection with the liquidation, any shares of the Fund outstanding on the liquidation date will be automatically terminated and canceled on the liquidation date. After payment (or setting aside for later payment) of the Fund’s obligations, shareholders who remain in the Fund until the liquidation date will receive a liquidation distribution based on the current net asset value of the shares of the Fund that such shareholder then holds. The Fund may or may not, depending upon its circumstances, pay one or more dividends or other distributions prior to or along with the liquidation payment on the liquidation date.

Shareholders of the Fund may sell their shares of the Fund on the NYSE Arca until the market close on September 25, 2024, and may incur customary transaction fees from their broker-dealer in connection with such sales. There is not expected to be any market for the purchase or sale of the Fund’s shares during the time between market close on September 25, 2024, and the liquidation date. During the time between September 13, 2024, and the liquidation date, the Fund will be in the process of closing down and liquidating its portfolio. This process will result in the Fund increasing its cash holdings and, as a consequence, not pursuing its investment objective.
