CPX.PR.E : No Conversion to FloatingReset

Capital Power Corporation has announced (on June 18):

that after having taken into account all Election Notices following the June 15, 2018 conversion deadline, in respect of the Cumulative Rate Reset Preference Shares, Series 5 (Series 5 Shares) tendered for conversion into Cumulative Floating Rate Preference Shares, Series 6 (Series 6 Shares), the holders of Series 5 Shares were not entitled to convert their shares. There were approximately 236,824 Series 5 Shares tendered for conversion, which was less than the required one million shares required for conversion into Series 6 Shares.

There are eight million Series 5 Shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol CPX.PR.E. Effective June 30, 2018, the Annual Fixed Dividend Rate for the next five-year period has been reset to 5.23800%.

For more information on the terms of, and risks associated with an investment in the Series 5 Shares, please see Capital Power’s prospectus supplement dated March 7, 2013 which is available on sedar.com or on Capital Power’s website at capitalpower.com.

It will be recalled that CPX.PR.E will reset to 5.238% effective 2018-6-30 and will hence be referred to as a FixedReset, 5.238%+315.

CPX.PR.E is a FixedReset, 5.238%+315, that commenced trading 2013-3-14 at 4.50% after being announced 2013-3-5. It is tracked by HIMIPref™ but relegated to the Scraps subindex on credit concerns.

It will be further recalled that I recommended against conversion.
