Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) (NYSE: BEP;
TSX: BEP.UN) and Brookfield Renewable Corporation (NYSE: BEPC; TSX:
BEPC) (“BEPC”, and together with the Partnership, “Brookfield
Renewable”) are pleased to provide an update on the concurrent
equity offerings announced June 12, 2023 for aggregate gross
proceeds of $500 million (the “Offerings”) on a bought deal basis
by a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”)
co-led by Scotiabank, BMO Capital Markets, TD Securities Inc., CIBC
Capital Markets, and RBC Capital Markets.
The Offerings are comprised of 8,200,000 limited
partnership units of the Partnership (“LP Units”) and 7,430,000
class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BEPC
(“Exchangeable Shares”). The LP Units were sold at a price of
$30.35 per LP Unit (the “LP Unit Offering Price”), and the
Exchangeable Shares were sold at a price of $33.80 per Exchangeable
Share (the “Exchangeable Share Offering Price”).
Concurrently, a subsidiary of Brookfield
Reinsurance Ltd. (NYSE/TSX: BNRE) has agreed to purchase 5,148,270
LP Units at the LP Unit Offering Price (net of underwriting
commissions) (the “Concurrent Unit Private Placement”) for total
gross proceeds of approximately $150 million.
The aggregate gross proceeds of the Offerings
and the Concurrent Unit Private Placement will be approximately
$650 million.
Brookfield Renewable intends to use the net
proceeds of the Offerings, together with the proceeds of the
Concurrent Unit Private Placement, to fund current and future
investment opportunities and for general corporate purposes.
The Offerings and the Concurrent Unit Private
Placement are expected to close on or about June 16, 2023.
The Partnership and BEPC have granted the
Underwriters over-allotment options, exercisable in whole or in
part for a period of 30 days following closing of the Offerings, to
purchase up to 1,230,000 additional LP Units and 1,110,000
additional Exchangeable Shares at their respective offering prices.
If the over-allotment options are exercised in full, the aggregate
gross proceeds of the Offerings and the Concurrent Unit Private
Placement would increase to approximately $725 million.
