Brompton Energy Split Corp. Establishes At-The-Market Equity Program
December 19 2024 - 10:50AM
(TSX: ESP, ESP.PR.A) Brompton Energy Split Corp.
(the “Fund”) is pleased to announce it has established an
at-the-market equity program (“ATM Program”) so that the Fund can
issue class A and preferred shares (the “Class A Shares” and
“Preferred Shares”, respectively) to the public from time to time,
at the Fund’s discretion. Any Class A Shares or Preferred Shares
sold under the ATM Program will be sold through the Toronto Stock
Exchange (the “TSX”) or any other marketplace in Canada on which
the Class A Shares and Preferred Shares are listed, quoted or
otherwise traded at the prevailing market price at the time of
sale. Sales of Class A Shares and Preferred Shares through the ATM
Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity
distribution agreement dated December 18, 2024 (the “Equity
Distribution Agreement”) with RBC Capital Markets Inc. (the
“Agent”).
Sales of Class A Shares and Preferred Shares
will be made by way of “at-the-market distributions” as defined in
National Instrument 44-102 Shelf Distributions on the TSX or on any
marketplace for the Class A Shares and Preferred Shares in Canada.
Since the Class A Shares and Preferred Shares will be distributed
at the prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, prices may
vary among purchasers during the period of distribution. The ATM
Program is being offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated
December 18, 2024 to the Fund’s short form base shelf prospectus
dated December 18, 2024. The maximum gross proceeds from the
issuance of the shares will be $25 million for each of the Class A
and Preferred Shares. Copies of the prospectus supplement and the
short form base shelf prospectus may be obtained from your
registered financial advisor or from representatives of the Agent
and are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The volume and timing of distributions under the
ATM Program, if any, will be determined at the Fund’s sole
discretion. The ATM Program will be effective until January 18,
2027, unless terminated prior to such date by the Fund. The Fund
intends to use the proceeds from the ATM Program in accordance with
the investment objectives and investment strategies of the Fund,
subject to the investment restrictions of the Fund.
The Fund invests in an actively managed
portfolio (the “Portfolio”) consisting primarily of equity
securities of dividend-paying (at the time of investment) global
energy issuers with a market capitalization of at least $2 billion
(at the time of investment) which may include companies operating
in energy subsectors and related industries such as oil and gas
exploration and production, equipment, services, pipelines,
transportation, infrastructure, utilities, among others. The Fund
may also invest up to 25% of the value of the Portfolio, as
measured at the time of investment, in equity securities of other
global natural resource issuers which include companies that own,
explore, mine, process or develop natural resource commodities or
supply goods and services to those companies, including directly or
indirectly through exchange-traded funds.
The investment objectives for the Class A Shares
are to provide their holders with regular monthly non-cumulative
cash distributions and to provide holders of Class A Shares with
the opportunity for growth in net asset value per Class A
Share.
The investment objectives for the Preferred
Shares are to provide their holders with fixed cumulative
preferential quarterly cash distributions and to return the
original issue price of $10.00 to holders of Preferred Shares on
March 30, 2027.
