- Calculated as at January 10, 2022
- Calculated for the six months ended December 31, 2021.
- In accordance with TSX rules, any daily repurchases with respect to: (i) the Series V, Series W, Series Y and Series CC preferred shares would be limited to 1,000 shares of the respective series and (ii) each of the other series of Preferred Shares (excluding the Series V, Series W, Series Y and Series CC preferred shares) would be limited to 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX of the respective series.
Note: All outstanding Series S shares were converted to Series R shares on September 30, 2021, and subsequently delisted from the TSX.
Brookfield is renewing its normal course issuer bid because it believes that, from time to time, the market price of its Preferred Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of its current business and future prospects. Brookfield believes that, in such circumstances, the outstanding Preferred Shares represent an attractive investment for the company, since a portion of its excess cash generated on an annual basis can be invested for an attractive risk-adjusted return through the normal course issuer bid.
Brookfield may enter into an automatic purchase plan in relation to the normal course issuer bid that would 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. Any such plan entered into with Brookfield’s broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities law and will be announced in a press release. Outside of these periods, Preferred Shares will be repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion and in compliance with applicable law.
