02 December 2023 - 8:30AM
Capital Power Corporation (“Capital Power” or the “Company”) (TSX:
CPX) announced today that it has notified registered shareholders
of its Cumulative Rate Reset Preference Shares, Series 3 (Series 3
Shares) (TSX: CPX.PR.C) of the Conversion Privilege and Dividend
Rate Notice.
Subject to certain conditions, beginning on December 1, 2023 and
ending at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 18, 2023, each
registered holder of Series 3 Shares will have the right to elect
to convert any or all of their Series 3 Shares into an equal number
of Cumulative Floating Rate Preference Shares, Series 4 (Series 4
Shares) by delivering an Election Notice to the Corporation.
If Capital Power does not receive an Election Notice from a
holder of Series 3 Shares during the time fixed therefor, then the
Series 3 Shares shall be deemed not to have been converted (except
in the case of an Automatic Conversion, see below). Holders of the
Series 3 Shares and the Series 4 Shares will have the opportunity
to convert their shares again on December 31, 2028, and every five
years thereafter as long as the shares remain outstanding.
On December 1, 2023, the Annual Fixed Dividend Rate for the
Series 3 Shares was set for the next five-year period (from and
including December 31, 2023, to but excluding December 31, 2028) at
6.86000% and the Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate for the Series 4
Shares was set for the first Quarterly Floating Rate Period (being
the period from and including December 31, 2023, to but excluding
March 31, 2024) at 2.06233%. The Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate
will be reset every quarter.
The Series 3 Shares are issued in “book entry only” form and, as
such, the sole registered holder of the Series 3 Shares is CDS
Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (CDS). All rights of
beneficial holders of Series 3 Shares must be exercised through CDS
or the CDS participant through which the Series 3 Shares are held.
The deadline for the registered shareholder to provide notice of
exercise of the right to convert Series 3 Shares into Series 4
Shares is 3:00 p.m. (MT) / 5:00 p.m. (ET) on December 18, 2023. Any
Election Notices received after this deadline will not be valid. As
such, beneficial holders of Series 3 Shares who wish to exercise
their rights to convert their shares should contact their broker or
other intermediary for more information and it is recommended that
this be done well in advance of the deadline in order to provide
the broker or other intermediary with time to complete the
necessary steps.
After December 18, 2023, (i) if Capital Power determines that
there would remain outstanding on December 31, 2023, less than
1,000,000 Series 3 Shares, all remaining Series 3 Shares will be
automatically converted into Series 4 Shares on a one-for-one basis
effective December 31, 2023 (an Automatic Conversion); or (ii) if
Capital Power determines that there would remain outstanding after
December 31, 2023, less than 1,000,000 Series 4 Shares, no Series 3
Shares will be permitted to be converted into Series 4 Shares
effective December 31, 2023. There are currently 6,000,000 Series 3
Shares outstanding.
The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has conditionally approved the
listing of the Series 4 Shares effective upon conversion. Listing
of the Series 4 Shares is subject to the Capital Power fulfilling
all the listing requirements of the TSX and upon approval, the
Series 4 Shares will be listed on the TSX under the trading symbol
CPX.PR.D.
