The dividend rate for the 3-month floating rate period from and including January 31, 2021 to but excluding April 30, 2021 will be 1.715%, being equal to the 3-month Government of Canada Treasury Bill yield determined as of today plus 1.60%, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in such quarterly period divided by 365, in accordance with the terms of the Series Q shares.
Beneficial owners of Series P shares or Series Q shares who wish to exercise their conversion right should communicate with their broker or other nominee to ensure their instructions are followed so that the registered holders of Series P shares or Series Q shares can meet the deadline to exercise such conversion right, which is 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on January 18, 2021.
PWF.PR.P was issued as a a FixedReset, 4.40%+160 that commenced trading 2010-6-29 after being announced 2010-6-17. It reset to 2.306% in 2016; I recommended against conversion but there was a 20% conversion to PWF.PR.Q anyway.
PWF.PR.Q is a FloatingReset, Bills+160, that arose via a partial conversion from PWF.PR.P in 2016.
