Dear long suffering PIF Action Group Unitholders,
The final chapter of the PIF saga is now complete as Wellington Capital Limited (WCL) has wound up and terminated The Premium Income Fund (PIF) and made a final distribution to Unit holders. Final Payment:
The FINAL payment of $0.0071 per unit in relation to the units held by you in the Premium Income Fund (Fund) was made on 8 March 2016 and should be in your bank account for electronic transfers or by cheque shortly, according to your pre-arranged preference.
As notified to investors on 9 November 2015, the Fund is being wound up in accordance with section 601NC of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and clause 26 of the Fund's Constitution. This FINAL payment has been made to Unit holders after deducting all relevant liabilities and expenses of termination of the Fund and accounting for anticipated expenses in accordance with clause 26.6 of the Constitution.
This FINAL payment is made by way of a capital return and represents your proportionate share (based on the number of Units held at the Record Date) of the realised value of the remaining fund assets. There is no tax payable on this return. A tax statement for the financial year ending 30 June 2016 will not be issued by the Fund to Unit holders.
Final accounts for the Fund will be audited in accordance with Clause 26.5 of the Constitution and the Corporations Act. These accounts will be lodged with ASIC.
If in the event that on completion of the winding up of the Fund, the responsible entity of the Fund has in its possession or control any unclaimed or undistributed money that was part of the Fund, it will pay the money to ASIC to be dealt with under Part 9.7 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If this occurs Unit holders can make application to ASIC for unclaimed monies. Wellington Capital PIF website is as follows:http://www.wellcap.com.au/ Centrelink:
