VBG Vanguard Global ex US Aggregate Bond Index ETF CAD Hedged

Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. (“Vanguard”) announced today its intention to change the listing venue for each of the following exchange-traded funds from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) to the Neo Exchange Inc. (the “NEO Exchange”):

• Vanguard U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ETF (CAD-hedged) (VBU)
• Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ETF (CAD-hedged) (VBG)
• Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond Index ETF (CAD-hedged) (VGAB)(collectively, the “ETFs”).

Vanguard has applied to and received conditional approval from the NEO Exchange to list the units of the ETFs on the NEO Exchange.

Vanguard anticipates that the ETFs will be voluntarily delisted from the TSX at the close of business on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 and listed on the NEO Exchange on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.

No securityholder approval is necessary for the delisting of the ETFs from the TSX since the ETFs will be listed on the NEO Exchange following the delisting.
