that 1,112,853 of its 4,000,000 issued and outstanding cumulative 5-year rate reset Class A Preference Shares, Series 1 (“Series 1 Preference Shares”) were tendered for conversion, on a one-for-one basis, into cumulative floating rate Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 (“Series 2 Preference Shares”). Effective April 1, 2016, the Company will have 2,887,147 Series 1 Preference Shares and 1,112,853 Series 2 Preference Shares outstanding and issued.

Assiduous Readers will remember that FN.PR.A will reset to 2.79%, while the FloatingReset issue, FN.PR.B, will pay 3-Month T-Bills + 207bp, reset quarterly. I recommended against conversion.
