DF.PR.A To Get Bigger

October 25th, 2021

Quadravest has announced:

Dividend 15 Split Corp. II (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it will undertake an offering of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares of the Company. The offering will be led by National Bank Financial Inc.

The Preferred Shares will be offered at a price of $10.10 per Preferred Share to yield 5.7% on the issue price and the Class A Shares will be offered at a price of $6.45 per Class A Share to yield 18.6% on the issue price.

The closing price on the TSX of each of the Preferred Shares and the Class A Shares on October 22, 2021 was $10.15 and $6.49, respectively.

Since inception of the Company, the aggregate dividends declared on the Preferred Shares have been $7.95 per share and the aggregate dividends declared on the Class A Shares have been $14.00 per share, for a combined total of $21.95 per unit. All distributions to date have been made in tax advantage eligible Canadian dividends or capital gains dividends.

The net proceeds of the offering will be used by the Company to invest in an actively managed portfolio of dividend yielding common shares which includes each of the 15 Canadian companies listed below:

Bank of Montreal Enbridge Inc. TC Energy
The Bank of Nova Scotia Manulife Financial Corp. TELUS Corporation
BCE Inc. National Bank of Canada Thomson Reuters Corp.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Royal Bank of Canada The Toronto-Dominion Bank
CI Financial Corp. Sun Life Financial Inc. TransAlta Corporation

The Company’s investment objectives are:

Preferred Shares:
i. to provide holders of the Preferred Shares with fixed, cumulative preferential monthly cash dividends in the amount of 5.75% annually; and
ii. on or about the termination date, currently December 1, 2024 (subject to further 5 year extensions thereafter and it has been extended in the past), to pay the holders of the Preferred Shares $10.00 per Preferred Share.

Class A Shares:
i. to provide holders of the Class A Shares with regular monthly cash dividends currently targeted to be $0.10 per Class A; and
ii. on or about December 1, 2024, to pay the holders of Class A Shares at least the original issue price of those shares.

The sales period of this overnight offering will end at 9:00 a.m. (EST) on October 26, 2021.

So Whole Units are offered at 16.55 and the NAVPU on 2021-10-22 was 15.79. A 4.8% premium isn’t bad business!
