Brookfield Reinsurance (NYSE, TSX: BNRE) today announced the
preliminary results of its previously announced offer (the “Offer”)
through which holders of Class A Limited Voting Shares (“BN
Shares”) of Brookfield Corporation (NYSE, TSX: BN) were given the
opportunity to voluntarily exchange BN Shares for newly-issued
class A-1 exchangeable non-voting shares of Brookfield Reinsurance
(“class A-1 exchangeable shares”) on a one-for-one basis. The Offer
expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on November 13, 2023.
The Offer has significantly enhanced the equity
base and market capitalization of Brookfield Reinsurance. Because
Brookfield Reinsurance is a “paired entity” to Brookfield
Corporation, this result was achieved without any dilution to
Brookfield Corporation or Brookfield Reinsurance.
The Offer also enabled holders of BN Shares
whose personal circumstances favor investing in the paired entity
through the ownership of Brookfield Reinsurance shares an
opportunity to exchange their BN Shares for Brookfield Reinsurance
class A-1 exchangeable shares.
Brookfield Reinsurance expects to take up
approximately 32.5 million BN Shares under the Offer. After giving
effect to the Offer, it is expected that there will be
approximately 10.5 million class A exchangeable limited voting
shares of Brookfield Reinsurance and approximately 32.5 million
class A-1 exchangeable shares outstanding.
