Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (NYSE: BBU) (TSX: BBU.UN)
(“Brookfield Business Partners”) today announced that the Toronto
Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted a notice filed by
Brookfield Business Partners of its intention to renew its normal
course issuer bid for its limited partnership units (the “units”).
Brookfield Business Partners believes that in the event the units
trade in a price range that does not fully reflect their value, the
acquisition of units may represent an attractive use of available
funds.
Under the normal course issuer bid, the Board of
Directors of the general partner of Brookfield Business Partners
authorized the partnership to repurchase up to 5% of the total
issued and outstanding units, or 3,730,593 units. At the close of
business on August 9, 2022, there were 74,611,871 units issued and
outstanding. Under the normal course issuer bid, Brookfield
Business Partners may purchase up to 17,678 units on the TSX during
any trading day, which represents 25% of the average daily trading
volume of 70,714 units on the TSX for the period February 1, 2022
to July 31, 2022. Repurchases are authorized to commence on
August 17, 2022 and will terminate on August 16, 2023, or earlier
should Brookfield Business Partners complete its repurchases prior
to such date.
Under the prior twelve-month normal course
issuer bid beginning on August 17, 2021, Brookfield Business
Partners was authorized to acquire up to 3,929,206 units and
repurchased 3,928,914 units at a weighted average price of US$35.44
(US$27.35 as adjusted to reflect the impact of the special
distribution of one Class A exchangeable subordinate voting share
of Brookfield Business Corporation for every two units of
Brookfield Business Partners that occurred on March 15, 2022) per
unit through the facilities of the TSX and the New York Stock
Exchange, and through the facilities of designated exchanges and
alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States.
All purchases under the renewed normal course
issuer bid will be made through the facilities of the TSX and the
New York Stock Exchange, and through the facilities of designated
exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United
States, and all units acquired under the normal course issuer bid
will be cancelled. Repurchases will be subject to compliance with
applicable United States federal securities laws, including Rule
10b-18 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, as well as applicable Canadian securities laws.
Brookfield Business Partners will enter into an
automatic purchase plan on or about the week of September 26, 2022
in relation to the normal course issuer bid. The automatic purchase
plan will allow for the purchase of units, subject to certain
trading parameters, at times when Brookfield Business Partners
ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own
internal trading black-out period, insider trading rules or
otherwise. Outside of these periods, units will be repurchased in
accordance with management’s discretion and in compliance with
applicable law.

the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and in any applicable
Canadian securities regulations. Forward-looking statements include
statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to
future events or conditions, include statements regarding the
operations, business, financial condition, expected financial
results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities,
targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook of
Brookfield Business Partners, as well as the outlook for North
American and international economies for the current fiscal year
and subsequent periods, and include words such as “expects,”
“anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,”
“intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts” or negative versions
thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional
verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.”
Although we believe that our anticipated future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements and information are based upon
reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information
because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Brookfield
Business Partners to differ materially from anticipated future
results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements and information.
Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contemplated or implied by
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the
impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and
market factors in the countries in which we do business; including
as a result of the ongoing novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic,
including any SARS-CoV-2 variants (collectively, “COVID-19”); the
behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest
and foreign exchange rates; global equity and capital markets and
the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing
within these markets; strategic actions including dispositions; the
ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into
existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits;
changes in accounting policies and methods used to report financial
condition (including uncertainties associated with critical
accounting assumptions and estimates); the ability to appropriately
manage human capital; the effect of applying future accounting
changes; business competition; operational and reputational risks;
technological change; changes in government regulation and
legislation within the countries in which we operate; governmental
investigations; litigation; changes in tax laws; ability to collect
amounts owed; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes; hurricanes
and pandemics/epidemics; the possible impact of international
conflicts, wars and related developments including Russia’s
military operation in Ukraine, terrorist acts and cyber terrorism;
and other risks and factors detailed from time to time in our
documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the
United States.
In addition, our future results may be impacted
by the government mandated restrictions resulting from COVID-19 and
the related global reduction in commerce and travel and substantial
volatility in stock markets worldwide, which may negatively impact
our revenues, affect our ability to identify and complete future
transactions, impact our liquidity position and result in a
decrease of cash flows and impairment losses and/or revaluations on
our investments and assets, and therefore we may be unable to
achieve our expected returns. See “Risks Associated with the
COVID-19 Pandemic” in the “Risks Factors” section included in our
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations in our most recently filed Form 20-F.
We caution that the foregoing list of important
factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When
relying on our forward-looking statements, investors and others
should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other
uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law,
Brookfield Business Partners undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements or information,
whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
