) Sustainable Power & Infrastructure Split Corp. (the “Fund”) is pleased to announce that the board of directors of the Fund has approved an extension of the maturity date of the class A shares (the “Class A Shares”) and preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of the Fund. The current maturity date of May 29, 2026 will be extended for an additional term of approximately 5 years to May 29, 2031. The Preferred Share dividend rate for the extended term will be announced at least 60 days prior to the current May 29, 2026 maturity date and will be based on market yields for preferred shares with similar terms at that time. The term extension allows Class A shareholders to continue their investment with an attractive distribution rate of 10.2% based on the August 11, 2025 closing price, and the opportunity for capital appreciation.(1) The extension of the term of the Fund is not a taxable event and enables shareholders to defer potential capital gains tax liability that would have otherwise been realized on redemption of Class A Shares or Preferred Shares at the end of the term, until such time that shares are disposed of by shareholders.

Since inception on May 21, 2021 to July 31, 2025, the Class A Share has delivered a 14.0% per annum return, outperforming the S&P Global Infrastructure Total Return Index and the MSCI World Total Return Index by 4.3% per annum and 3.8% per annum, respectively.(2) Since inception to July 31, 2025, Class A shareholders have received cash distributions of $3.45 per share. Class A shareholders also have the option to reinvest their cash distributions in a dividend reinvestment plan which is commission free to participants.

The Preferred share has delivered a 5.1% per annum return since inception to July 31, 2025 and has a high level of downside protection, with 51% asset coverage as of July 31, 2025.

Brompton Funds Limited (“Brompton”) believes the Fund is well-positioned to benefit from secular growth opportunities in infrastructure that are being driven by artificial intelligence (AI), government spending, electrification, and the reshoring of manufacturing.

The Fund invests in a globally diversified and actively managed portfolio (the “Portfolio”) consisting primarily of dividend-paying securities of power and infrastructure companies whose assets, products and services Brompton believes are facilitating the multi-decade transition toward decarbonization and environmental sustainability. The Portfolio may include investments in companies operating in the areas of renewable power (wind, solar, hydroelectric), green transportation (electric vehicles, energy transportation and storage, railroads, carbon capture), energy efficiency (smart grids, smart meters, building efficiency), and communications (communication networks, 5G wireless technology), among others.

RS.PR.A To Be Extended

Middlefield Group has announced (on 2025-8-13):

– (TSX: RS, RS.PR.A) Real Estate Split Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the board of directors intends to approve an extension of the maturity date of the Company for an additional 5-year term to December 31, 2030. The preferred share distribution rate for the extended term will be announced at least 60 days prior to the original maturity date of December 31, 2025, and will be based on market yields for preferred shares with similar terms at that time.

The term extension allows Class A shareholders to continue to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio, actively managed, high conviction portfolio comprised of securities of leading North American real estate companies.

The extension of the term of the Company is not a taxable event and enables shareholders to defer potential capital gains tax liability that would have otherwise been realized on the redemption of the Class A shares or Preferred Shares at the end of the term, until such time as such shares are disposed of by shareholders.

Since inception on November 19, 2020, the Class A shares have delivered a 5.4% per annum total return, including cash distributions of $6.94 per share. Class A shareholders also have the option to reinvest their cash distributions in a dividend reinvestment plan which is commission free to participants.

The term extension will offer Preferred shareholders the opportunity to enjoy preferential cash dividends until December 31, 2030. Since inception, the Preferred shares have delivered a 5.3% per annum total return.

The sole (preferred) issue affected is RS.PR.A .

Note that according to the 2024 Annual Information Form:

On the Maturity Date and upon any subsequent maturity date as determined by the Board of Directors, a holder of Preferred Shares may retract such Preferred Shares. The Fund will provide at least 60 days’ notice to holders of Preferred Shares of such right. The Preferred Shares must be surrendered for retraction by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the last business day of the month prior to the Maturity Date or subsequent maturity date, as applicable. The retraction price payable by the Fund for a Preferred Share pursuant to the non-concurrent retraction right will be equal to the lesser of (i) $10.00 plus any accrued and unpaid distributions thereon and (ii) the Net Asset Value of the Fund on that date divided by the total number of Preferred Shares then outstanding.

Note that the managers’ objective will be to minimize retractions in order to keep assets in the fund; they have no incentive to target a price following the reset announcement in excess of $10 per preferred share, other than an uncertainty buffer to ensure they don’t actually fall below it. Holders are therefore urged to calculate yield with the assumption of a $10 market price following the announcement as it is possible that retraction will be the best option at that time.

PRM.PR.A Downgraded to Pfd-3 by DBRS

DBRS has announced that it:

downgraded the Preferred Shares (the Preferred Shares) issued by Big Pharma Split Corp. (the Company) to Pfd-3 from Pfd-3 (high). The Preferred Shares have experienced a considerable reduction in downside protection to 54.1% in August 2025 from 61.0% in August 2024 as a result of the decline in the net asset value (NAV) of the portfolio, which is heavily concentrated in large-cap pharmaceutical and biotechnology holdings. These sectors have experienced a sell-off amid political and regulatory uncertainty.

The Company invests in equally weighted common shares and securities (the Portfolio) convertible into or exchangeable for common shares (Equity Securities) of ten issuers from the Investable Universe, which is defined as Equity Securities that (1) are listed on a North American exchange, (2) pay a dividend, and (3) have sufficiently liquid options for their Equity Securities to permit the Portfolio Manager (i.e., Harvest Portfolio Group Inc.) to write options regarding such securities. The Portfolio Manager selects eight from the ten largest pharmaceutical issuers from the Investable Universe and the remaining two from the Investable Universe. The Portfolio Manager reconstitutes and rebalances the Portfolio at least semi-annually. No more than 20% of the net asset value (NAV) of the Company can be invested in securities other than from the 10 largest pharmaceutical issuers at the time of each semi-annual rebalance and reconstitution. The Portfolio securities consisted of Johnson & Johnson (10.5%), AstraZeneca PlC. (10.3%), GSK PLC (10.1%), Amgen Inc. (9.9%), AbbVie Inc. (9.8%), Eli Lilly and Company (9.6%), Merck & Co. Inc. (9.4%), Sanofi (9.3%), Pfizer Inc. (9.2%), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (9.0%) as of July 31, 2025. The Portfolio Manager hedges substantially all of the Portfolio’s U.S.-dollar exposure back to the Canadian dollar.

The board of directors extended the Company’s maturity date in October 2022 for another five years to December 31, 2027. On maturity, the holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to the value of the Portfolio up to the face value of the Preferred Shares and any accrued but unpaid dividends in priority to the holders of the Class A Shares.

Holders of the Preferred Shares receive a quarterly fixed cumulative dividend in the amount of $0.125 per share to yield 5.00% per year on the issue price of $10.00. Holders of the Class A Shares receive regular monthly noncumulative distributions targeted to be $0.1031 per Class A Share to yield 8.25% per year on the issue price of $15.00. The Class A Share distributions are subject to an asset coverage test, which does not permit any distributions to holders of the Class A Shares if the NAV per Unit (one unit consist of one Preferred Share and one Class A Share) falls below $15.00 or if the dividends of the Preferred Shares are in arrears. No monthly distributions in excess of $0.1031 will be made to the Class A Shares if after such payment the NAV per Unit becomes less than $23.50 except when the Company has to make such payment to fully recover refundable taxes.

As of August 26, 2025, the downside protection available to holders of the Preferred Shares declined to 54.1% from 61.0% as of August 31, 2024. Dividend coverage improved to 0.4x from 0.2x a year ago, as a result of an increase in the dividend yield received on the Portfolio, however it remains below 1.0x. The dividend coverage below 1.0x indicates that the current dividend income earned by the Company is not enough to fully cover the Company’s targeted distributions on the Preferred Shares, which increases the reliance on the Manager to generate a high yield to meet distributions without having to liquidate portfolio securities. To supplement the Portfolio income, the Company may engage in covered call option writing on all or a portion of the shares held in the Portfolio. Without giving consideration to capital appreciation potential or any source of income other than the dividends earned by the Portfolio, the Preferred Share distributions together with the current distributions on the Class A Shares will create a projected grind on the NAV of the Portfolio of approximately 7.4% per year over the next 5 years.

The Company has established an at-the-market equity program (ATM Program) to replace the prior program established in December 2022, which allows the Company to issue Class A Shares and Preferred Shares from time to time at the Company’s discretion. The current ATM Program allows maximum gross proceeds of $75 million of each of the Preferred Shares and the Class A Shares and is in effect until February 7, 2027.

Considering the decrease in the amount of downside protection together with the projected grind on the Portfolio and dividend coverage below one time, Morningstar DBRS downgraded the rating on the Preferred Shares to Pfd-3 from Pfd-3 (high).

The main constraints to the credit rating are the following:

(1) Volatility in stock prices along with changes in the dividend policies of the underlying issuers may result in significant reductions in the Preferred Shares’ dividend coverage or downside protection from time to time.

(2) Preferred Shares dividend coverage is less than one time.

(3) Stated monthly distributions on the Class A Shares may create a grind on the Portfolio. This risk is mitigated by an asset coverage test of 1.5x that ensures sufficient levels of downside protection to the holders of the Preferred Shares.

(4) Reliance on the Portfolio Manager to generate additional income, through option writing, to meet distributions and other trust expenses without having to liquidate the Portfolio’s securities.

(5) The concentration of the Portfolio in one industry

Morningstar DBRS’ credit ratings on the applicable classes address the credit risk associated with the identified financial obligations in accordance with the relevant transaction documents. Where applicable, a description of these financial obligations can be found in the transactions’ respective press releases at issuance.

The affected issue is PRM.PR.A .
