SS&C ALPS Advisors Announces Share Split of the Barron's 400℠ ETF (BFOR)

SS&C ALPS Advisors announced that the Board of Trustees of ALPS ETF Trust approved a 4-for-1 share split for the Barron's 400 ETF (NYSE: BFOR).
The split becomes effective at market open on July 1, 2026, with the ticker symbol BFOR remaining unchanged on the NYSE Arca.
Record date is set for June 29, 2026, pay date for June 30, 2026, 4-for-1 split ratio, 00162Q726 CUSIP, 4:1 split ratio, 6/29/2026 record date, 6/30/2026 pay date, 7/1/2026 ex-date.
The split increases the number of shares outstanding while proportionately lowering the share price without changing the total value of shares outstanding, except for fractional share redemptions.
Fractional shares post-split cannot trade on NYSE Arca; they will be redeemed for cash sent to the broker of record, potentially creating a taxable event for shareholders.
The split itself is not a taxable transaction, though some brokerage charges may apply unrelated to ALPS Advisors.
SS&C ALPS Advisors serves as the investment adviser, while ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. acts as the distributor.
SS&C ALPS Advisors reported over $37.12 billion under management as of March 31, 2026.
