- Calculated as at
August 12, 2022.
- Calculated for
the six-month period ended July 31, 2022.
- In accordance
with TSX rules, any daily repurchases with respect to: (i) the
Series 4, Series 8, Series 9, Series 17, Series 24, Series 36,
Series 38 and Series 42 Preferred Shares will be limited to 1,000
shares of the respective series and (ii) each of the other series
of Preferred Shares (excluding the Series 4, Series 8, Series 9,
Series 17, Series 24, Series 36, Series 38 and Series 42 Preferred
Shares) will be limited to 25% of the average daily trading volume
on the TSX of the respective series.
As of August 12, 2022, under its current normal
course issuer bid that commenced on August 20, 2021 and will expire
on August 19, 2022, and which was approved by the TSX, Brookfield
has not made any purchases of the Preferred Shares.
Brookfield is renewing its normal course issuer
bid because it believes that, from time to time, the Preferred
Shares may trade in price ranges that do not fully reflect their
value. Brookfield believes that, in such circumstances, acquiring
the Preferred Shares represents an attractive and desirable use of
its available funds.
Brookfield will enter into an automatic share
purchase plan on or about the week of September 19, 2022 in
relation to the normal course issuer bid. The automatic share
purchase plan will allow for the purchase of Preferred Shares,
subject to certain trading parameters, at times when Brookfield
ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own
internal trading black-out period, insider trading rules or
otherwise. Outside of these periods, the Preferred Shares will be
repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion and in
compliance with applicable law.
