Brookfield Office Properties Inc., a subsidiary of Brookfield Property Partners L.P., has announced:
that after having taken into account all election notices received by the deadline for the conversion of the Class AAA Preference Shares, Series R (the “Series R Shares”) (TSX: BPO.PR.R) into Class AAA Preference Shares, Series S (the “Series S Shares”), the holders of Series R Shares are not entitled to convert their Series R Shares into Series S Shares. There were 24,640 Series R Shares tendered for conversion, which is less than the one million shares required to give effect to conversions into Series S Shares.
The Series R Shares will pay on a quarterly basis, for the five-year period beginning on October 1, 2026, as and when declared by the board of directors of Brookfield, a fixed dividend based on an annual dividend rate of 6.829% (C$0.4268125 per share per quarter).
BPO.PR.R was issued as a 5.10%+348 FixedReset that commenced trading 2011-9-2 after being announced 2011-8-25. The issue reset to 4.155% in 2016 and there was an 11% conversion to the FloatingReset BPO.PR.S. BPO.PR.R reset to 4.30% in 2021 and the FloatingResets were forcibly converted to the FixedResets. The issue reset to 6.829% in 2026; unusually – perhaps uniquely – the conversion election period was extended from the period originally announced.
