October 01 2024 - 4:00PM
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 9 (Series 9 Shares) on Oct. 30, 2024. As a result,
subject to certain conditions, the holders of Series 9 Shares have
the right to choose one of the following options regarding their
shares:
- to retain any or all of their Series 9 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
9 Shares into Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares, Series
10 (Series 10 Shares) of TC Energy and receive a floating rate
quarterly dividend.
Should holders of Series 9 Shares choose to retain their shares,
such shareholders will receive the new annual fixed dividend rate
applicable to the Series 9 Shares of 5.080 per cent for the
five-year period commencing Oct. 30, 2024 to, but excluding, Oct.
30, 2029.
Should holders of Series 9 Shares choose to convert their shares
to Series 10 Shares, holders of Series 10 Shares will receive the
floating quarterly dividend rate applicable to the Series 10 Shares
of 6.329 per cent for the first quarterly floating rate period
commencing Oct. 30, 2024 to, but excluding, Jan. 30, 2025. The
floating quarterly dividend rate will be reset every quarter.
Beneficial owners of Series 9 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 Oct. 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 9 Shares who do not exercise their
conversion right through their broker or other nominee by the
deadline will retain their Series 9 Shares and receive the new
annual fixed dividend rate applicable to the Series 9 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 9 Shares outstanding after Oct. 30, 2024, then all
remaining Series 9 Shares will automatically be converted into
Series 10 Shares on a one-for-one basis on Oct. 30, 2024 and (ii)
alternatively, if TC Energy determines that there would be
less than one million Series 10 Shares outstanding after Oct. 30,
2024, no Series 9 Shares will be converted into Series 10 Shares.
In either case, TC Energy will issue a news release to that effect
no later than Oct. 23, 2024.
Holders of Series 9 Shares and Series 10 Shares will have the
opportunity to convert their shares again on
Oct. 30, 2029 and in 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 9 Shares
and the Series 10 Shares, please see the Corporation’s prospectus
