Capital Power provides redemption notice of Preferred Shares, Series 9
August 19 2022 - 9:00AM
Capital Power Corporation (“Capital Power” or the “Company”)
(TSX:CPX) announced today that it intends to redeem all of its
6,000,000 issued and outstanding 5.75% Cumulative Minimum Rate
Reset Preference Shares, Series 9 (the “Series 9 Shares”) (TSX:
CPX.PR.I) on September 30, 2022 (the “Redemption Date”) at a price
of $25.00 per share (the “Redemption Price”) for an aggregate total
of $150 million, less any tax required to be deducted and withheld
by the Company.
As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors has
declared a quarterly dividend of $0.359375 per Series 9 Share
payable on September 30, 2022 (the “Q3 2022 Quarterly Dividend”).
This will be the final quarterly dividend on the Series 9 Shares
and, as the Redemption Date is also a dividend payment date, the
Redemption Price will not include the Q3 2022 Quarterly Dividend.
Instead, the Q3 2022 Quarterly Dividend will be paid on the
Redemption Date separately to shareholders of record as of
September 19, 2022.
The Company has provided notice today of the Redemption Price
and the Redemption Date to the sole registered holder of the Series
9 Shares in accordance with their terms. Non-registered holders of
Series 9 Shares should contact their broker or other intermediary
for information regarding the redemption process for the Series 9
Shares in which they hold a beneficial interest.
