FORM 81-101F1
CONTENTS OF SIMPLIFIED PROSPECTUS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
General
(1) This Form describes the disclosure required in a simplified prospectus of a mutual fund. Each Item of this Form outlines disclosure requirements. Instructions as to how you are to provide this disclosure are printed in italic type. (2) Terms defined in Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure (chapter V-1.1, r. 38), Regulation 81-102 respecting Investment Funds (chapter V-1.1, r. 39) or Regulation 81-105 respecting Mutual Fund Sales Practices (chapter V-1.1, r. 41) and used in this Form have the meanings that they have in those regulations. (3) A simplified prospectus must state the required information concisely and in plain language. (4) Respond as simply and directly as is reasonably possible. Include only as much information as is necessary for an understanding of the fundamental and particular characteristics of the mutual fund. Brevity is especially important in describing practices or aspects of a mutual fund’s operations that are materially the same as those of other mutual funds. (5) Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure requires the simplified prospectus to be presented in a format that assists in readability and comprehension. This Form does not mandate the use of a specific format to achieve these goals. However, mutual funds are encouraged to use, as appropriate, tables, captions, bullet points or other organizational techniques that assist in presenting the required disclosure clearly and concisely. (6) Each Item must be presented under the heading or sub-heading stipulated in this Form; references to the relevant Item number are optional. If no sub-heading for an Item is stipulated in this Form, a mutual fund may include sub-headings, under the required headings, at its option. (7) A simplified prospectus may contain photographs and artwork only if they are relevant to the business of the mutual fund, mutual fund family or members of the organization of the mutual fund and are not misleading. (8) Any footnotes to tables provided for under any Item in this Form may be deleted if the substance of the footnotes is otherwise provided.

Regulation 81-101 April 22, 2025 PAGE 41
Contents of a Simplified Prospectus
(9) A simplified prospectus consists of two sections, a Part A section and a Part B
section.
(10) The Part A section of a simplified prospectus contains the response to the Items in Part A of this Form and contains introductory information about the mutual fund, general information about mutual funds and information applicable to the mutual funds managed by the mutual fund organization. (11) The Part B section of a simplified prospectus contains the response to the Items in Part B of this Form and contains specific information about the mutual fund to which the simplified prospectus pertains. (12) Despite securities legislation, a simplified prospectus must present each Item in the Part A section and each Item in the Part B section in the respective order provided for in this Form. Consolidation of Simplified Prospectuses into a Multiple SP (13) Subsection 5.1(1) of Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure states that simplified prospectuses must not be consolidated to form a multiple SP unless the Part A sections of each simplified prospectus are substantially similar. The
Part A sections in a consolidated document need not be repeated. These provisions
permit a mutual fund organization to create a document that contains the disclosure for a number of mutual funds in the same family. (14) Subsection 5.1(4) of Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure states that a simplified prospectus of an alternative mutual fund must not be consolidated with a simplified prospectus of another mutual fund that is not an alternative mutual fund. (15) As with a single SP, a multiple SP consists of two Parts:

1. A Part A section that contains general information about the mutual funds,
   or the mutual fund family, described in the document.
2. A number of Part B sections, each of which provide specific information
   about one mutual fund. The Part B sections must not be consolidated with each other so that, in a multiple SP, information about each mutual fund described in the document must be provided on a fund-by-fund or catalogue basis and set out for each mutual fund separately the information required under Part B of this Form. Each Part B section must start on a new page. (16) Section 5.3 of Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure permits the Part B sections of a multiple SP to be bound separately from the Part A section of the document. If one Part B section is bound separately from the Part A section of the document, all Part B sections must be separate from the Part A section of the document.

Regulation 81-101 April 22, 2025 PAGE 42
(17) Subsection 5.3(2) of Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure permits Part B sections that have been bound separately from the related Part A section to be bound either individually or together, at the option of the mutual fund organization. There is no prohibition against the same Part B section of a multiple SP being bound by itself for distribution to some investors, and also being bound with the
Part B section of other mutual funds for distribution to other investors.
(18) Section 3.2 of Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure provides that the requirement under securities legislation to deliver a preliminary prospectus for a mutual fund will be satisfied by the delivery of a preliminary simplified prospectus, either with or without the documents incorporated by reference. Mutual fund organizations that bind separately the Part B sections of a multiple SP from the Part A
section are reminded that, since a simplified prospectus consists of a Part A section and
a Part B section, delivery of both sections is necessary in order to satisfy the delivery obligations in connection with the sale of securities of a particular mutual fund. (19) Part A of this Form generally refers to disclosure required for “a mutual fund” in a “simplified prospectus”. Modify the disclosure as appropriate to reflect multiple mutual funds covered by a multiple SP. (20) A mutual fund that has more than one class or series of securities that are referable to the same portfolio may treat each class or series as a separate mutual fund for the purposes of this Form, or may combine disclosure of one or more of the classes or series in one simplified prospectus. If disclosure pertaining to more than one class or series is combined in one simplified prospectus, separate disclosure in response to each Item in this Form must be provided for each class or series unless the responses would be identical for each class or series. (21) As provided in Regulation 81-102 respecting Investment Funds, a section, part, class or series of a class of securities of a mutual fund that is referable to a separate portfolio of assets is considered to be a separate mutual fund. Those principles are applicable to Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure and this Form.

FORM 81-101F2
CONTENTS OF ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
General
(1) This Form describes the disclosure that is required in an annual information form of a mutual fund. Each Item of this Form outlines disclosure requirements. Instructions to help you provide this disclosure are printed in italic type. (2) Terms defined in Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure (chapter V-1.1, r. 38), Regulation 81-102 respecting Investment Funds (chapter V-1.1, r. 39) or Regulation 81-105 respecting Mutual Fund Sales Practices (chapter V-1.1, r. 41) and used in this Form have the meanings that they have in those regulations. However, subsection 1.3(3) of Regulation 81-102 respecting Investment Funds does not apply to this Form. (3) An annual information form is intended to supplement the information contained in the related simplified prospectus. Information contained in the related simplified prospectus need not be repeated except as required to make the annual information form comprehensible as an independent document. Generally speaking, all of the disclosure required to be provided in connection with a particular requirement of Form 81-101F1 ("the SP Form") in order to satisfy statutory disclosure requirements should be contained in the simplified prospectus. For some Items, it may be appropriate to expand in the annual information form on matters discussed in the simplified prospectus; for instance, a mutual fund organization may wish to describe in an annual information form some of its optional services in more detail than in the simplified prospectus. Generally speaking, however, an annual information form is intended to provide disclosure about different matters than those discussed in the simplified prospectus, which may be of assistance or interest to some investors. (4) Unless otherwise required by this Form, information may be presented in a different format and style in an annual information form than in a simplified prospectus. An annual information form is required by Regulation 81-101 to be presented in a format that assists in readability and comprehension. This Form generally does not mandate the use of a specific format to achieve this goal and mutual funds are encouraged to use, as appropriate, tables, captions, bullet points or other organizational techniques that assist in presenting the disclosure clearly. (5) An annual information form may contain photographs and artwork only if they are relevant to the business of the mutual fund, mutual fund family or members of the organization of the mutual fund and are not misleading. (6) As with a simplified prospectus, an annual information form is to be prepared using plain language. Reference should be made to Part 3 of Policy Statement to Regulation 81-101 respecting Mutual Funds Prospectus Disclosure

Regulation 81-101 April 22, 2025 PAGE 84
(Decision 2001-C-0284, 2001-06-12) for a discussion concerning plain language and presentation. (7) Any footnotes provided for under any Item of this Form may be deleted if the substance of the footnotes is otherwise provided. Contents of an Annual Information Form (8) An annual information form pertains to one mutual fund but, unlike a simplified prospectus, is not required to be divided into a discrete Part A section, pertaining to general disclosure, and a Part B section, pertaining to fund-specific disclosure. (9) It is not necessary to disclose the Items required by this Form in an annual information form in any particular order or under any particular heading. This is unlike the rule for a simplified prospectus, which provides that information contained in a simplified prospectus must be in the order and under the headings required by the SP Form. Consolidation of Annual Information Forms into a Multiple AIF (10) Section 5.4 of Regulation 81-101 requires an annual information form to be consolidated with one or more other annual information forms into a multiple AIF if the related simplified prospectuses are consolidated into a multiple SP. As the Regulation does not prevent the consolidation of annual information forms even if the related simplified prospectuses are not consolidated, a mutual fund organization may prepare one multiple AIF that pertains to all of its mutual funds, even if the simplified prospectuses for those mutual funds are not fully or even partially consolidated. (11) Unlike the situation with a multiple SP, Regulation 81-101 does not permit parts of a multiple AIF to be bound separately. (12) Unlike the requirements for a multiple SP, there are no requirements that disclosure concerning each mutual fund described in a multiple AIF be organized in any particular manner or order. In particular, it is not necessary to use the catalogue approach required to be used in a multiple SP in which disclosure about individual mutual funds is required to be separately presented. Information may be presented separately for each mutual fund, or consolidated, at the option of the mutual fund organization. (13) The requirements in this Form generally speak of "a mutual fund". These requirements apply to each mutual fund to which a multiple AIF pertains. Multi-Class Mutual Funds (14) A mutual fund that has more than one class or series that are referable to the same portfolio may treat each class or series as a separate mutual fund for purposes of this Form, or may combine disclosure of one or more of the classes or series in one annual information form. If disclosure pertaining to more than one class or series is combined in one annual information form, separate disclosure in response to each Item in this Form

Regulation 81-101 April 22, 2025 PAGE 85 must be provided for each class or series unless the responses would be identical for each class or series. (15) As provided in Regulation 81-102 respecting Investment Funds, a section, party, class or series of a class of securities of a mutual fund that is referable to a separate portfolio of assets is considered to be a separate mutual fund. Those principles are applicable to Regulation 81-101 and this Form. Item 1 Front Cover Disclosure

Regulation 81-101 April 22, 2025 PAGE 116
In general, funds with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns.

A fund with a low risk rating can still lose money.”; (c) for a newly established mutual fund, include an introduction to the risk scale which states the following:
“[Insert name of manager of the mutual fund] has rated the volatility of this fund as [insert investment risk level identified in paragraph (a) in bold type]. Because this is a new fund, the risk rating is only an estimate by [insert name of manager of the mutual fund]. Generally, the rating is based on how much the fund’s returns have changed from year to year. It doesn’t tell you how volatile the fund will be in the future. The rating can change over time. A fund with a low risk rating can still lose money.”; (d) following the risk scale, state using wording substantially similar to the following:
“For more information about the risk rating and specific risks that can affect the fund’s returns, see the [insert cross-reference to the appropriate section of the mutual fund’s simplified prospectus] section of the fund’s simplified prospectus.”.
