Brompton Split Banc Corp. Renews At-The-Market Equity Program
April 27 2023 - 4:47PM
(TSX: SBC, SBC.PR.A) Brompton Split Banc Corp.
(the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has renewed its
at-the-market equity program (“ATM Program”) that allows the
Company to issue class A and preferred shares (the “Class A Shares”
and “Preferred Shares”, respectively) to the public from time to
time, at the Company’s discretion. This ATM Program replaces the
prior program established in June 2022 that has terminated. Any
Class A Shares or Preferred Shares sold in 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 April 27, 2023
(the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with RBC Capital Markets (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
April 27, 2023 to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus
dated April 27, 2023. The maximum gross proceeds from the issuance
of the shares will be $75,000,000 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.sedar.com.
The volume and timing of distributions under the
ATM Program, if any, will be determined at the Company’s sole
discretion. The ATM Program will be effective until May 27, 2025,
unless terminated prior to such date by the Company. The Company
intends to use the proceeds from the ATM Program in accordance with
the investment objectives and investment strategies of the Company,
subject to the investment restrictions of the Company.
The Company invests in a portfolio (the
“Portfolio”) consisting of common shares of the six largest
Canadian banks: Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia,
National Bank of Canada, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce and Bank of Montreal. In addition, the
Company may hold up to 10% of the total assets of the Portfolio in
investments in global financial companies for the purpose of
enhanced diversification and return potential.
The investment objectives for the Class A Shares
are to provide holders with regular monthly cash distributions
targeted to be at least $0.10 per Class A Share and to provide the
opportunity for growth in the net asset value per Class A
Share.
The investment objectives for the Preferred
Shares are to provide holders with fixed cumulative preferential
quarterly cash distributions, currently in the amount of $0.15625
per Preferred Share, and to return the original issue price to
holders of Preferred Shares on November 29, 2027.
