Capital Power announces successful completion of consent solicitation process for its 7.95% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1
2024年8月15日 - 10:00PM
Capital Power Corporation (“Capital Power”, the “Company”, “we”,
“us” or “our”) (TSX: CPX) announced today the completion of a
previously announced solicitation of consents (the “Consent
Solicitation”) from holders (“Holders”) of its C$350M 7.95%
Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1, due September 9,
2082 (the “Series 1 Notes”). Based on the report of the tabulation
agent for the Consent Solicitation, the Consent Solicitation
received strong support and was approved by Holders, significantly
exceeding the required threshold of at least 66 2/3% of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Series 1 Notes.
As a result, the extraordinary resolution
authorizing certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing
the Series 1 Notes has been approved. The proposed amendments will
be effected by a supplemental indenture dated August 15, 2024 to
the indenture governing the Series 1 Notes (the “Series 1
Supplemental Indenture”) and will provide for the exchange (the
“Note Exchange”) of all outstanding principal amount of Series 1
Notes for an equal principal amount of a new series of notes
referred to as the 7.95% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes,
Series 3, due September 9, 2082 (the “Series 3 Notes”) issued under
a supplemental indenture dated August 15, 2024 to the trust
indenture dated as of June 5, 2024 (the “Series 3 Supplemental
Indenture”), all as more fully described in the Consent
Solicitation Statement dated July 29, 2024. The Series 3 Notes have
the same economic terms, including but not limited to the interest
rate, interest payment dates, maturity date and redemption
provisions as the Series 1 Notes (but excluding provisions of the
Series 1 Notes regarding delivery of preferred shares upon the
occurrence of certain bankruptcy and related events), including an
entitlement under the Series 3 Notes for an amount equal to the
interest accrued on the Series 1 Notes that are exchanged. The Note
Exchange is expected to commence today, August 15, 2024 upon
execution of the Series 1 Supplemental Indenture and the Series 3
Supplemental Indenture. The removal of the provisions for delivery
of preferred shares upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and
related events from Series 3 Notes ensures the Series 3 Notes will
rank equally in right of payment with the C$450M 8.125%
Fixed-to-Fixed Subordinated Notes, Series 2, due June 5, 2054 in
all cases.
Following the completion of the Note Exchange,
S&P Global Ratings and Morningstar DBRS are expected to assign
and confirm the instrument rating of the Series 3 Notes at BB and
BB with a Stable trend, respectively.
RBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank acted as the
Solicitation Agents for the Consent Solicitation. Computershare
Trust Company of Canada acted as the tabulation agent with respect
to the Consent Solicitation.
