Deutsche Bank has already received enough orders for the sale, according to the term sheet.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>The share sale will increase Deutsche Bank\u2019s core Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio under Basel III rules, a key measure of financial strength, to about 9.5 percent from 8.8 percent at the end of March, it said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Veresen, proud issuer of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbrs.com\/research\/256880\/dbrs-confirms-veresen-inc-at-bbb-high-and-pfd-3-high-with-stable-trends.html\">VSN.PR.A, was confirmed at Pfd-3(high)<\/a> by DBRS:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> The Preferred Shares are confirmed at Pfd-3 (high). All trends are Stable. The confirmation reflects (1) relatively stable cash distributions from the Company\u2019s regulated Pipeline businesses, which accounted for approximately 49% of Veresen\u2019s 2012 cash distributions received from its subsidiaries and investments; (2) improved cash flow diversification as result of the acquisition of the Hythe\/Steeprock complex (the Acquisition) from Encana Corporation (rated BBB); and (3) solid cash flow-interest coverage and cash flow-to-debt metrics (non-consolidated). The confirmation is also based on DBRS\u2019s expectation that the currently high debt leverage (as a result of the Acquisition) at the parent level will improve over the medium term.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>As a result of the Acquisition ($920 million), the parent debt increased significantly in 2012. The non-consolidated debt-to-capital ratio increased to over 40% in 2012 from 35.7% in 2011, which is viewed as aggressive. DBRS recognizes that Veresen benefits from owning a large non-debt and diverse asset base, which allows the Veresen to carry more non-consolidated debt than a pure holding company.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualPremiums gaining 1bp, FixedResets off 2bp and DeemedRetractibles up 10bp.
