Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2020 , in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the sale of FT Shares.
The FT Units will be offered pursuant to a base shelf prospectus dated December 7, 2020 and a prospectus supplement to be filed in all provinces of Canada . The Offering is scheduled to close on or about December 21, 2020 and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the listing and trading of the FT Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX ").
