April 01 2024 - 5:00PM
News Release – TC Energy Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) (TC Energy or
the Company) today announced that it does not intend to exercise
its right to redeem its Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred
Shares, Series 7 (Series 7 Shares) on April 30, 2024. As a
result, subject to certain conditions, the holders of Series 7
Shares have the right to choose one of the following options
regarding their shares:
- to retain any or all of their Series 7 Shares and continue to
receive a fixed rate quarterly dividend, or
- to convert, on a one-for-one basis, any or all of their Series
7 Shares into Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares, Series
8 (Series 8 Shares) of TC Energy and receive a floating rate
quarterly dividend.
Should holders of Series 7 Shares choose to retain their shares,
such shareholders will receive the new annual fixed dividend rate
applicable to the Series 7 Shares of 5.985 per cent for the
five-year period commencing April 30, 2024 to, but excluding,
April 30, 2029.
Should holders of Series 7 Shares choose to convert their shares
to Series 8 Shares, holders of Series 8 Shares will receive the
floating quarterly dividend rate applicable to the Series 8 Shares
of 7.379 per cent for the first quarterly floating rate period
commencing April 30, 2024 to, but excluding, July 30, 2024.
The floating quarterly dividend rate will be reset every
quarter.
Beneficial owners of Series 7 Shares who want to exercise their
right of conversion should communicate as soon as possible with
their broker or other nominee and ensure that they follow their
instructions to meet the deadline to exercise such right, which is
5 p.m. (EDT) on April 15, 2024. Any notices received after
this deadline will not be valid. It is recommended that this be
done well in advance of the deadline to provide the broker or other
nominee with time to complete the necessary steps.
Beneficial owners of Series 7 Shares who do not exercise their
conversion right through their broker or other nominee by the
deadline will retain their Series 7 Shares and receive the new
annual fixed dividend rate applicable to the Series 7 Shares,
subject to the conditions stated below.
The foregoing conversions are subject to the conditions that:
(i) if TC Energy determines that there would be less than one
million Series 7 Shares outstanding after April 30, 2024, then
all remaining Series 7 Shares will automatically be converted into
Series 8 Shares on a one-for-one basis on April 30, 2024 and
(ii) alternatively, if TC Energy determines that there would
be less than one million Series 8 Shares outstanding after
April 30, 2024, no Series 7 Shares will be converted into
Series 8 Shares. In either case, TC Energy will issue a news
release to that effect no later than April 23, 2024.
Holders of Series 7 Shares and Series 8 Shares will have the
opportunity to convert their shares again on April 30, 2029
and every fifth year thereafter as long as the shares remain
outstanding. For more information on the terms of, and risks
associated with an investment in the Series 7 Shares and the Series
8 Shares, please see the Corporation’s prospectus supplement dated
Feb. 25, 2013 which is available on sedarplus.ca or on our
