TD.PF.D To Be Extended

Tuesday, June 30th, 2020

The Toronto-Dominion Bank has announced (on June 18):

that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem all or any part of the currently outstanding 14 million Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Preferred Shares, Series 7 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the “Series 7 Shares”) of TD on July 31, 2020. As a result and subject to certain conditions set out in the prospectus supplement dated March 3, 2015 relating to the issuance of the Series 7 Shares, the holders of the Series 7 Shares have the right to convert all or part of their Series 7 Shares, on a one-for-one basis, into Non-Cumulative Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 8 (NVCC) (the “Series 8 Shares”) of TD on July 31, 2020. Holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares on such date will continue to hold their Series 7 Shares.

The foregoing conversion right is subject to the conditions that: (i) if TD determines that there would be less than 1,000,000 Series 8 Shares outstanding after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on July 31, 2020, then holders of Series 7 Shares will not be entitled to convert their shares into Series 8 Shares, and (ii) alternatively, if TD determines that there would remain outstanding less than 1,000,000 Series 7 Shares after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on July 31, 2020, then all remaining Series 7 Shares will automatically be converted into Series 8 Shares on a one-for-one basis on July 31, 2020. In either case, TD will give written notice to that effect to holders of Series 7 Shares no later than July 24, 2020.

The dividend rate applicable to the Series 7 Shares for the 5-year period from and including July 31, 2020 to but excluding July 31, 2025, and the dividend rate applicable to the Series 8 Shares for the 3-month period from and including July 31, 2020 to but excluding October 31, 2020, will be determined and announced by way of a press release on July 2, 2020.

Beneficial owners of Series 7 Shares who wish to exercise their conversion right should communicate as soon as possible with their broker or other nominee to obtain instructions for exercising such right during the conversion period, which runs from July 2, 2020 until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 16, 2020.

Inquiries should be directed to TD’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, AST Trust Company (Canada), at 1-800-387-0825 (or in Toronto 416-682-3860).

June 30, 2020

Tuesday, June 30th, 2020

Fitch downgraded Alberta:

Alberta’s credit rating was downgraded Tuesday, hours after the province released a multibillion-dollar economic recovery plan in an attempt to climb out of the economic wreckage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and a collapse in world oil prices.

Fitch Ratings downgraded Alberta to a double-A-minus from double-A, citing higher provincial borrowing during the pandemic-driven economic crisis and a debt burden relative to GDP that is “incompatible” with a double-A rating.

The New York-based agency also pointed to the lack of details from the government about the extent of damage to Alberta’s bottom line, and the fact the province has no planned path toward economic recovery.

Tuesday’s downgrade is the third for Alberta since December, when Moody’s Investors Service changed the province’s rating to Aa2 from Aa1, citing continued weakness in the provincial economy and its reliance on non-renewable resources. In March, DBRS Morningstar downgraded Alberta to double-A (low) from double-A.

GWO is making a major investment in US wealth management:

Canadian insurer Great-West Lifeco Inc. is boosting its presence in the United States and broadening its retail wealth management with the US$1-billion purchase of Personal Capital Corp.

On Monday, Great-West’s subsidiary Empower Retirement agreed to acquire Personal Capital for an initial US$825-million, with the potential to add up to US$175-million if certain growth metrics are met. The upfront payment is expected to be funded with cash on hand and $500-million in debt financing.

Based in Denver, Empower Retirement administers US$656-billion in assets for more than 9.7 million investors enrolled in defined contribution pension plans. Upon closing the deal, Empower will combine its retirement services, which include 401(k) group benefit plans, with Personal Capital’s online financial planning capabilities to expand into the U.S. retail wealth management sector.

TXPR closed at 528.61, down 0.55% on the day. Volume today was 1.49-million, near the lows of the past thirty days.

CPD closed at 10.525, down 0.43% on the day. Volume was 135,867, a little above the median of the past 30 trading days.

ZPR closed at 8.185, down 1.50% on the day. Volume of 301,200 was near the median the context of the past 30 trading days.

Five-year Canada yields were down 2bp at 0.36% today.

The carnage has been attributed to a familiar villain:

Wall Street’s major indexes tumbled more than 2% on Friday as several U.S. states imposed business restrictions in response to a surge in coronavirus cases. The TSX lost 1.66%, with both energy and financial sectors losing more than 2.5%.

Some U.S. states that were spared the brunt of the initial coronavirus outbreak or moved early to lift restrictions are seeing a resurgence in new infections. On Friday, Texas and Florida ordered bars to close down again.

A Wall Street Journal report that the Phase 1 U.S.-China trade deal could be at risk placed additional pressure on U.S. stocks. According to that report, Chinese officials warned that “meddling” in Hong Kong and Taiwan could lead Beijing to back away from its commitment to purchase U.S. farm goods.

Among sectors, financial, communication services and energy shares outpaced the broader S&P 500 in declines. S&P 500 bank shares plummeted 6.1% after the Federal Reserve limited dividend payments and barred share repurchases until at least the fourth quarter following its annual stress test.

DBRS Downgrades Five SplitShare Preferreds

Thursday, June 25th, 2020

DBRS has announced that it:

downgraded five ratings of preferred shares issued by various split-share companies as follows:

— the Preferred Shares issued by Dividend Growth Split Corp. to Pfd-4 (high) from Pfd-3
— the Preferred Shares issued by Brompton Lifeco Split Corp. to Pfd-4 (low) from Pfd-3 (low)
— the Preferred Shares issued by Life & Banc Split Corp to Pfd-3 (low) from Pfd-3
— the Preferred Shares issued by Prime Dividend Corp to Pfd-3 from Pfd-3 (high)
— the Preferred Shares issued by S Split Corp. to Pfd-4 from Pfd-3 (collectively, the Preferred Shares)

Each of these split-share companies invests in a portfolio of securities (the Portfolio) funded by issuing two classes of shares: dividend-yielding preferred shares or securities and capital shares or units (the Capital Shares). In such structure, preferred shares normally benefit from downside protection provided by the net asset value (NAV) of the Capital Shares.

On March 24, 2020, DBRS Morningstar placed the Preferred Shares Under Review with Negative Implications. Each of the Preferred Shares has experienced a considerable reduction in downside protection since February 2020 as a result of the rapid decline in the net asset value (NAV) of the respective portfolios in response to the stock market sell-off, which was triggered by the worldwide spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and various geopolitical events.

DBRS Morningstar downgraded the ratings of the Preferred Shares based on longer-term trends being established for the NAVs of the affected split-share companies. Although the downside protection has experienced some recovery in all five Portfolios in the past three months, its current levels remain below the required levels for the corresponding ratings of the Preferred Shares, which they had had before they were placed Under Review with Negative Implications. Ratings assigned are also dependent on the credit quality and management of the Portfolios. For many of the split-share companies listed above, distributions to holders of the Capital Shares are now suspended due to the failure to pass the asset-coverage tests. This feature ensures greater excess income for the Company and decreases the reliance on other income-generating methods, such as option writing, when downside protection has been significantly reduced.

CORONAVIRUS-RELATED ANALYTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Global macroeconomic forecasts have shifted dramatically amid the rapid spread of the coronavirus and associated responses from governments, corporations, and households. In the context of this highly uncertain environment, DBRS Morningstar initially published macroeconomic scenarios on April 16, 2020. The scenarios were updated on June 1, 2020, and are reflecting the updated scenarios in DBRS Morningstar’s rating analysis. The updated scenarios can be found at https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/document/361867.

To summarize in tabular form, the downgrades are as follows:

Ticker Old Rating New Rating Recent
Asset
Coverage
DGS.PR.A Pfd-3 Pfd-4(high) 1.3-:1
LCS.PR.A Pfd-3(low) Pfd-4(low) 1.2-:1
LBS.PR.A Pfd-3 Pfd-3(low) 1.4-:1
PDV.PR.A Pfd-3(high) Pfd-3 1.5-:1
SBN.PR.A Pfd-3 Pfd-4 1.2+:1

The mass review was announced by DBRS in March, 2020.
