Mint Income Fund has filed a notice with the Toronto Stock Exchange and received its approval to make a normal course issuer bid (NCIB). Purchases pursuant to the NCIB will be made in the open market through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading systems. This NCIB will commence on May 27, 2026, and will terminate on May 26, 2027. In accordance with the declaration of trust by which the fund is governed, market purchases pursuant to its NCIB may be effected by the fund.

The fund had 9,098,346 units issued and outstanding as at May 13, 2026, including 9,077,748 units in the public float. The fund may, during the 12-month period commencing May 27, 2026, purchase on the TSX up to 907,774 units, being 10 per cent of the public float, and may not, in any 30-day period, purchase more than 181,966 units, being 2 per cent of the units issued and outstanding.
