At the same time, MFC will issue an equivalent amount of perpetual preferred shares, also not callable within the first five years, that offer a typical features of preferred shares including subordination to senior obligations and dividend payments payable at MFC&#8217;s discretion. The preferred shares will be held in a dedicated trust and the trustee will provide a revocable waiver for all dividends while the shares remain in the trust. We have assigned the same &#8216;BBB+&#8217; issue-level rating to the preferred shares.<\/p>\n<p>While the notes do not explicitly allow MFC to defer or cancel any payments of interest or principal, the sole recourse the noteholders have for any nonpayment or any event of default is their proportional part of the preferred shares held in the trust. MFC could decide at any point to stop payment on the notes, trigger the delivery of the preferred shares to the noteholders, simultaneously cancel the preferred shares&#8217; dividends, and suffer no negative consequences thereafter. This, in our view, effectively renders the payments on the notes cancelable at MFC&#8217;s discretion.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;BBB+&#8217; ratings for both the notes and the preferred shares are two notches below MFC&#8217;s issuer credit rating, incorporating a deduction of one notch, reflecting subordination of the issuances; and a deduction of an additional notch, reflecting optional coupon and dividend cancelability.<\/p>\n<p>We have assigned the equity content of the notes and the preferred shares as intermediate, because we view their features as contributing to MFC&#8217;s loss-absorption capacity. In addition, the notes and the preferred shares are only redeemable after five years, with no additional incentive to call either at that date. Therefore, the notes&#8217; and preferred shares&#8217; longevity is also a factor in our evaluation of their intermediate equity content.<\/p>\n<p>We do not expect the issuance of the notes to materially change MFC&#8217;s financial leverage or fixed-charge coverage because we anticipate the company will use the proceeds mostly to fund upcoming maturities and redemptions. Since the preferred shares are held in trust solely for the purpose of potential recourse to the noteholders, we will exclude them from any capital, leverage, and coverage calculations while the shares remain in the trust.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>TXPR <a href=\"https:\/\/web.tmxmoney.com\/quote.php?qm_symbol=txpr\">closed at 645.98<\/a>, up 0.68% on the day.
