Principal® Announces Changes to Active Income ETF
Principal® announced today plans to change the name of the Principal Active Income ETF (ticker: YLD) as a result of a standard review of its exchange-traded product offering. Effective September 1, 2021, the ETF will be renamed the Principal Active High Yield ETF, and its objective will seek to provide a high level of current income.
In addition to the name change, Principal will also execute a stock split for the Principal Active Income ETF according to the chart below. Shares of the Principal Active High Yield ETF will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on September 2, 2021.

As a result of the stock split, shareholders will receive a proportional number of the ETF with the same aggregate dollar value for each share of the fund currently held. Thus, the total dollar value of an investment in the ETF will be unchanged, and each shareholder will continue to own the same percentage (by value) of the ETF immediately following the stock split as it did immediately prior to the stock split. The stock split will not be a taxable event, nor does it have an impact on any ETF’s holdings or its performance.
No shareholder action is required either prior to or as a result of the name change or stock split. The fund ticker and CUSIP will remain the same.
