BCA.PR.A : Ticker Change to BRN.PR.A

We can always count on this company to fiddle with its corporate names and structure!

Brookfield Investments Corporation has announced:

that the company’s name has been changed from Brascade Corporation (TSX:BCA.PR.A) to reflect its emerging role as an investment company within the Brookfield Asset Management group. Brookfield Investments currently holds common share interests in the following Brookfield group companies, Brookfield Properties Corporation, Canary Wharf plc, Fraser Papers Inc. and Norbord Inc., as well as a portfolio of preferred shares issued by companies in Brookfield group.

Brookfield Investments also announced that its Class 1 Senior Preferred Shares, Series A, will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the company’s new name and new stock symbol, BRN.PR.A at the commencement of trading on Thursday, February 21, 2008.

In conjunction with this name change, the CUSIP number of the company’s Series A Senior Preferred Shares has been changed from 10549T 301 to 112741 202.

Information on Brookfield Investments and its Series A Senior Preferred Shares can be found on its website, www.brookfieldinvestments.com.

For those keeping track, I will remind Assiduous Readers of last year’s press release:

As previously announced, Brascade amalgamated with Diversified Canadian Financial II Corp. and Diversified Canadian Holdings Inc. on January 1, 2007, and continues under the name Brascade Corporation. The financial impact of this amalgamation will be reflected in Brascade’s results for the first quarter of 2007.
