Series 3 Units and Series 4 Units

If declared, the fixed quarterly distributions on the Series 3 Units during the five years commencing January 1, 2021 will be paid at an annual rate of 5.50% ($0.34375 per unit per quarter).

Holders of Series 3 Units have the right, at their option, exercisable not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 16, 2020, to reclassify all or part of their Series 3 Units, on a one-for-one basis, into Cumulative Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 4 (“Series 4 Units”), effective December 31, 2020.
