PPL.PR.K To Be Redeemed

Monday, January 25th, 2021

Pembina Pipeline Corporation has announced:

that it has closed its previously announced offering of $600 million of 4.80% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1 due January 25, 2081 (the “Offering”). The Company also announced its intention to redeem its issued and outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Minimum Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 11 (TSX: PPL.PR.K) (the “Series 11 Shares”) on March 1, 2021.

Closing of Hybrid Note Offering

Pembina expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the redemption of its outstanding Series 11 Shares and its Cumulative Redeemable Minimum Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 13 (TSX: PPL.PR.M), to repay other outstanding indebtedness, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The subordinated notes were offered through a syndicate of underwriters, co-led by RBC Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank and TD Securities, under Pembina’s short form base shelf prospectus dated December 30, 2020, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated January 12, 2021.

Pembina announced that they were considering this step in mid-January and confirmed the intent a few days later.

AZP Put On Watch-Negative By S&P

Friday, January 22nd, 2021

Standard & Poor’s has announced:

  • Atlantic Power Corp. (APC) announced it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by I Squared Capital for $3.03 per share.
  • The ratings on our ‘BB-‘ issuer credit rating on APC are unchanged and we are placing the company’s ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications.
  • At the same time, we are placing the issue-level ratings on APLP Holdings L.P.’s term loan B, $180 million revolving credit facility, and Atlantic Power L.P.’s C$210 million medium-term notes on CreditWatch with negative implications.
  • We are also placing the preferred shares at Atlantic Power Preferred Equity Ltd. (APLP) on CreditWatch with negative implications.
  • The CreditWatch placements capture our view that the new sponsor could alter the capital structure.

S&P Global Ratings today took the rating actions listed above. Pro forma for the transaction, Atlantic Power’s financial policy will be determined by I Squared, which we would most likely designate a financial sponsor. We typically expect financial sponsors to use leverage to fund transactions to achieve returns. Consequently, ratings are generally lower for financial sponsor-owned companies than strategically owned entities. However, I Squared indicated it plans to redeem some debt and reorganize APC’s capital structure. We will monitor and reassess financial policy, forward leverage, and any changes to the business strategy as we obtain additional clarity on I Squared’s plan and as the transaction approaches financial close.

Following the necessary approvals by APC’s board, shareholders, and regulators, we anticipate common shareholders will receive $3.03 per share at the close of the transaction. The unsecured convertible debt due Jan. 31, 2025, will be converted to common shares for $3.03, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The company’s senior secured term loan will also be redeemed at 101% of principal. Atlantic Power Preferred’s shares will be redeemed for C$22 each in cash. Atlantic Power L.P.’s 5.95% medium term notes due June 23, 2036, will be redeemed for consideration equal to 106.071% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest at financial close.

The CreditWatch listing reflects the likelihood that I Squared’s financial policy will inform the rating on Atlantic Power pro forma for the transaction. We would most likely classify I Squared as a financial sponsor. Consequently, any rating implications will depend on the forward capital structure, our assessment of the business strategy, and most important how we assess I Squared’s financial policy with regard to APC. We will likely resolve the CreditWatch when the transaction closes, projected for the second quarter of 2021.

Affected issues are AZP.PR.A, AZP.PR.B and AZP.PR.C.

I have previously reported the proposed redemption at $22 of these issues.

The sales period for this overnight offering will end at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on Wednesday, January 20, 2021. The offering is expected to close on or about January 27, 2020 and is subject to certain closing conditions including approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”).

The Class A Shares will be offered at a price of $7.80 per Class A Share for a distribution rate of 15.4% on the issue price, and the Preferred Shares will be offered at a price of $10.15 per Preferred Share for a yield to maturity of 5.1%.(1) The closing price on the TSX for each of the Class A Shares and Preferred Shares on January 18, 2021 was $7.87 and $10.31, respectively. The Class A Share and Preferred Share offering prices were determined so as to be non-dilutive to the most recently calculated net asset value per unit of the Company (“Unit”) (calculated as at January 14, 2021), as adjusted for dividends and certain expenses to be accrued prior to or upon settlement of the offering.

The syndicate of agents for the offering is being led by RBC Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc. and Scotiabank.

The Company invests in a portfolio (the “Portfolio”) consisting of common shares of the six largest Canadian banks and the four major publicly traded Canadian life insurance companies:

Bank of Montreal Great-West Lifeco Inc.
National Bank of Canada The Bank of Nova Scotia
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Royal Bank of Canada
iA Financial Corporation Inc. The Toronto-Dominion Bank
Sun Life Financial Inc. Manulife Financial Corporation

The investment objectives for the Class A Shares are to provide holders with regular monthly cash distributions targeted to be $0.10 per Class A Share and to provide the opportunity for growth in the net asset value per Class A Share.

The investment objectives for the Preferred Shares are to provide holders with fixed cumulative preferential quarterly cash distributions, currently in the amount of $0.13625 per Preferred Share ($0.545 per annum), and to return the original issue price plus accrued dividends (if any) to holders of Preferred Shares on October 30, 2023.

The NAVPU was 17.20 as of January 14 and the Whole Units are being offered for 17.95; the premium is therefore 4%. There have been many higher figures on SplitShare offerings, but 4% is still good business!
