<p>因此，之前宣布的对 COP 信托协议的修订将生效，这些修订使信托的原半年度赎回功能变为每月赎回功能，并取消了每个赎回期可赎回的 COP 信托单位（“单位”）数量上限，以及与上述内容相关的某些后续变更和单位在 NYSE Arca 上市的相关变更，将于 2026 年 5 月 1 日生效。本新闻稿中对修订的摘要完全受信托协议修订第 1 号的条款的限制，修订第 1 号的副本可在 www.sedarplus.ca 的信托档案中找到。</p>

</div><p>As a result of the approval, the previously announced amendments to COP’s trust agreement which result in the Trust’s original semi-annual redemption feature becoming a monthly redemption feature and the removal of a cap on the number of COP trust units (“Units”) that could be redeemed each redemption period, as well as certain consequential changes related to the foregoing and the listing of the Units on the NYSE Arca, will become effective May 1, 2026. The summary of the amendments in this press release is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Amendment No. 1 to the Trust Agreement, a copy of which is available under the Trust’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.</p>
