Bullish for BPO preferred

 
 
Brookfield Property Preferred L.P. (“Brookfield”) today announced it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 10% of the public float of its outstanding Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, Series 1 (TSX: BPYP.PR.A; Nasdaq: BPYPM) that are listed on the TSX (the “Preferred Units”). Brookfield may, during the 12-month period commencing January 11, 2024 and ending on January 10, 2025 (or an earlier date should Brookfield complete its purchases prior to such date), purchase on the TSX, the Nasdaq Stock Market and any alternative Canadian trading system, up to 1,917,745 Preferred Units, representing approximately 10% of its public float. At December 31, 2023, there were 26,844,556 Preferred Units issued and outstanding, with 7,667,101 Preferred Units held by insiders, giving Brookfield a public float of 19,177,455 limited partnership units. Under the normal course issuer bid, Brookfield may purchase up to 1,138 Preferred Units on the TSX during any trading day, which represents approximately 25% of the average daily trading volume of 4,552 on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the TSX’s acceptance of the notice of the normal course issuer bid. This limitation does not apply to purchases made pursuant to block purchase exemptions and purchases made on another exchange. Brookfield will pay the market price at the time of acquisition for any Preferred Units purchased, but not to exceed the redemption price thereof as stated in the company’s limited partnership agreement. All Preferred Units acquired by Brookfield under this bid will be cancelled. Brookfield has not repurchased any Preferred Units in the past 12 months.

Renewing the NCIB seems more like a formality to me. Only when they start buying will I take notice.

Investors took notice this morning.  BPO preferred shares are up from 4% to 9% so far this morning, erasing the losses of the last few days. I expect speculators are starting to cover their short positions.

Hi there, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. BPO issued a similar press release today for its pref shares.  They do the same thing every year and never repurchase anything but who knows, maybe 2024 is the year they start to pick away. It was interesting to see the BPY press release, I think that is a first for BPY and it will be interesting to see if they get active. It is news to ...more

The headline of the news release is interesting in that it announces the "commencement" of the NCIB. Usually it would say "renewal" or "approval". It's possible the market is taking this language to mean it is more certain to occur.

Back in January 2022, Brookfield issued a press release confirming "....  it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the renewal of its normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 10% of the public float of each series of the company’s outstanding Class AAA Preference Shares..." "... Brookfield has not repurchased any Preferred Shares in the past 12 ...more

Sorry, my comment refers to the press release of Jan. 9 related to BPYP.PR.A and BPYPM "Brookfield Property Partners Annouces Commencement of Normal Course Issuer Bid to Purchase Preferred Units"

Yes, the insider holding is great news. At least that would give them more intention to keep the pay going..
