BPO.PR.T : No Conversion to FloatingReset

Brookfield Office Properties Inc. has announced:

that after having taken into account all election notices following the December 17, 2018 conversion deadline for the Class AAA Preference Shares, Series T (the “Series T Shares”) (TSX: BPO.PR.T) tendered for conversion into Class AAA Preference Shares, Series U (the “Series U Shares”), the holders of Series T Shares are not entitled to convert their Series T Shares into Series U Shares. There were 65,139 Series T Shares tendered for conversion, which is less than the 1,000,000 shares required to give effect to conversions into Series U Shares.

The Series T Shares will pay on a quarterly basis, for the five-year period beginning on January 1, 2019, as and when declared by the board of directors of Brookfield, a fixed dividend based on an annual dividend rate of 5.383% per annum (C$0.336438 per share per quarter).

It will be recalled that BPO.PR.T will reset at 5.383% effective January 1, 2019.

BPO.PR.T is a FixedReset, 4.60%+316, that commenced trading 2012-9-13 after being announced 2012-9-5. It is tracked by HIMIPref™, but relegated to the Scraps – FixedReset Discount index on credit concerns.

I recommended against conversion.
