International Clean Power Dividend Fund Approves Conversion Into Infrastructure Dividend Split Corp.
01 Maggio 2024 - 11:03PM
International Clean Power Dividend Fund (“CLP”) (TSX: CLP.UN) is
pleased to announce that a special meeting of unitholders of CLP
was held today at which unitholders voted in favour of a resolution
approving the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of CLP
into Infrastructure Dividend Split Corp. (“Infrastructure Split”),
a newly formed split share corporation.
The Merger is
expected to be completed on May 4, 2024.
CLP unitholders will receive Class A shares in
the capital of Infrastructure Split (TSX:IS) in exchange for their
units held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger,
based on an exchange ratio that is equal to the net asset value of
CLP per Unit determined as at the close of business on May 3, 2024,
divided by $15.00. CLP Units will be delisted from the TSX
at the end of business on May
7th. Class A Shares of
Infrastructure Split will begin trading on the TSX at the opening
of business on May 8th under the
symbol IS. Unitholders of CLP do not need to take any actions to
receive their Class A Shares of Infrastructure Split.
The initial target distribution yield for the
Class A Shares will be 10.0% per annum based on the notional $15
issue price (or $0.125 per month or $1.50 per annum). Former
unitholders of CLP who wish to participate in the Distribution
Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”) of Infrastructure Split Class A
shares will need to enroll in the Infrastructure Split’s DRIP. The
first distribution of Infrastructure Split Class A shares is not
DRIP eligible and will be payable as follows:

Payable Date |

Infrastructure Split has been designed to
provide investors with a diversified, actively managed portfolio
comprised primarily of dividend paying securities of issuers
operating in the infrastructure sector. The investment strategy of
Infrastructure Split will be to initially invest in a portfolio of
approximately 15 dividend-paying issuers operating in the
infrastructure sector that Middlefield Capital Corporation (the
“Advisor”), the investment advisor of Infrastructure Split,
believes offers investors the potential for both income through
attractive dividend yields and capital appreciation and that it
believes are undervalued and well-positioned to benefit from the
Advisor’s outlook for a gradual reduction in interest rates, the
continuation of global decarbonization, and favourable demographics
(such as a growing middle class and urbanization).
The investment objectives for the Class A Shares
are to provide holders (together with holders of the Preferred
Shares, the “Shareholders”) with non-cumulative monthly cash
distributions and to provide holders with the opportunity for
capital appreciation through exposure to the Portfolio (as defined
below).
Infrastructure Split has filed an amended and
restated Preliminary Prospectus for the offering of Preferred
Shares, which is expected to close on or about May 8th, 2024. The
Preferred Shares will be listed on the TSX under the symbol
IS.PR.A. The Preferred Shares have been provisionally rated Pfd-3
(high) by DBRS Limited.
The investment objectives for the Preferred
Shares are to provide holders with fixed cumulative preferential
quarterly cash distributions and to return $10.00 to holders on
April 30, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to extension for
successive terms of up to five years each as determined by the
Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The
quarterly cash distribution until April 30, 2029 will be $0.18 per
Preferred Share ($0.72 per annum), representing a yield of 7.2% per
annum on the issue price of $10.00 per Preferred Share.
