I still think Preferreds are entitled to $25/share. Not sure why virtually no one else think so. Nobody reads the Prospectus? My English is very poor, but even I can understand the Terms written in plain English.
There's basically on 3 risks to the Preferreds:
1) Bankruptcy: This situation it's unknown how much if any Preferreds would get, but Currently significant Equity is Backstopping them. Now Cenovus Equity will be added.
2) Bank of Canada/Bond Yields: This could be either a Risk or a Benefit. We are sitting at "Effective Lower Bound" on rates. If they go up, it's a Benefit to the Preferreds. But if they go Negative, that's a risk that lowers the rates on the Preferreds.
3) Redemption: If this happens, Preferreds are Cashed out and no longer get paid dividends. Since prices are significantly below redemption value, this situation is a HUGE WIN for the Preferreds who bought recently.
That's it... That's basically the risks of holding the Preferreds for the dividend.
If you're just in it for the short term, a trader, not an investor for the dividend, then there's the Market (emotional) Risk of share price fluctuation.

Interesting writer likes the preferreds, particularly the A series, but for different reasons than I do. Nonetheless, he sees am 8% yield after reset next March which is where my thinking leads me too. Only difference is I stick my neck out and say that means a market price of $12. So I'm in

The merger diverisifies the business a bit more and adds more equity to the entity, so what's not to like?
All just my opinion..... Am I missing anything???
