Brompton Split Banc Corp. Announces Extension of Term
25 March 2022 - 8:07AM
(TSX: SBC, SBC.PR.A) As a result of strong
performance, Brompton Split Banc Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased
to announce that the board of directors has approved an extension
of the maturity date of the Class A and Preferred shares of the
Company for an additional 5-year term to November 29, 2027. The
reset preferred share dividend rate for the extended term will be
announced at least 60 days prior to the original November 29, 2022
maturity date and will be based on market yields for preferred
shares with similar terms at that time.
The term extension allows Class A shareholders
to continue to invest in the Canadian bank sector with an
attractive distribution rate of 8.4% based on the March 22, 2022
closing price and the opportunity for capital appreciation.
Canadian banks continue to offer attractive dividend yields and
return on equity. As well, the extension of the term of the Company
is not a taxable event and enables shareholders to defer potential
capital gains tax liability that would have otherwise been realized
on the redemption of the Class A shares or Preferred Shares at the
end of the term, until such time as such shares are disposed of by
shareholders.
Since inception in November 2005 to February 28,
2022, the Class A shares have delivered a 13.2% per annum total
return, outperforming the S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index by
3.8% per annum and the S&P/TSX Composite Index by 5.8% per
annum.(1) Since inception to February 28, 2022, Class A
shareholders have received cash distributions of $19.15 per share.
Class A shareholders also have the option to reinvest their cash
distributions in a dividend reinvestment plan which is commission
free to participants.
The term extension offers Preferred shareholders
the opportunity to enjoy preferential cash dividends until November
29, 2027. Since inception, the Preferred shares have delivered a
5.1% per annum total return, outperforming the S&P/TSX
Preferred Share Index by 2.2% per annum with lower
volatility.(1)
Brompton Split Banc Corp. invests, on an
approximately equal weighted basis in a portfolio consisting of
common shares of the six largest Canadian banks (currently, Bank of
Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, National Bank of
Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and The
Toronto-Dominion Bank). In addition, the Company may hold up to 10%
of the total assets of the Portfolio in investments in global
financial companies for the purposes of enhanced diversification
and return potential.

Returns are for the periods ended February 28,
2022 and are unaudited. Inception date November 16, 2005. The table
shows the Company’s compound return on a Class A Share and
Preferred Share for each period indicated compared with the
S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index (“Financials Index”), the
S&P/TSX Composite Index (“Composite Index”), and the
S&P/TSX Preferred Share Index (“Preferred Share Index”)
(together the “Indices”). The Financials Index is derived from the
Composite Index based on the financials sector of the Global
Industry Classification Standard. The Composite Index tracks the
performance, on a market weight basis, of a broad index of
large-capitalization issuers listed on the TSX. The Preferred Share
Index tracks the performance, on a market weight basis, of
preferred shares listed on the TSX that meet criteria relating to
minimum size, liquidity, issuer rating, and exchange listing. The
Class A shares and preferred shares are not expected to mirror the
performance of the Indices which have more diversified portfolios.
The Indices are calculated without the deduction of management
fees, fund expenses and trading commissions, whereas the
performance of the Company is calculated after deducting such fees
and expenses. Further, the performance of the Company’s Class A
shares is impacted by the leverage provided by the Company’s
preferred shares.
You will usually pay brokerage fees to your
dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the investment funds on
the Toronto Stock Exchange or other alternative Canadian trading
system (an “exchange”). If the shares are purchased or sold on an
exchange, investors may pay more than the current net asset value
when buying shares of the investment fund and may receive less than
the current net asset value when selling them.
There are ongoing fees and expenses associated
with owning shares of an investment fund. An investment fund must
prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the
funds. You can find more detailed information about the fund in the
public filings available at www.sedar.com. The indicated rates of
return are the historical annual compounded total returns including
changes in share value and reinvestment of all distributions and do
not take into account certain fees such as redemption costs or
income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced
returns. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change
frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
Certain statements contained in this document
constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of
Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to
matters disclosed in this document and to other matters identified
in public filings relating to the fund, to the future outlook of
the fund and anticipated events or results and may include
statements regarding the future financial performance of the fund.
In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by
terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”,
“anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “predict”,
“potential”, “continue” or other similar expressions concerning
matters that are not historical facts. Actual results may vary from
such forward-looking information. Investors should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are made as of the date hereof and we assume no
obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or
circumstances.
