Just a heads up as we end the year… The past 2 years in early November there have been shareholders rights offering announcements.
In 2022 it was a 13 - 1 @ $14.00
In 2021 it was a 14 - 1 @ $16.86... there was also a May offering that year of 20 - 1 @ $15.65
In June 2015 there was a 15 - 1 at $10.90
Due to the economic environment there is positives that could point to the need for another offering: tightening of mortgage rules and Tier 1 lenders might start rejecting higher risk mortgages which could lead more customers requiring our services to hold thier homes. Also the interest in beefing up housing starts.
There are also negatives, the market isn't flying as high so new mortgages might slow down and be less capital required, also with rule tighting and high rates it could push people out of the market.
I bring this hypothetical up because if like me, you hold your shares in a TSFA and you have maxed out your TFSA contributions and don't have dry powder, you will have to do some quick maneuvering to free up cash to take advantage of this event (if it happens), announcement to closing is usually 4-5 weeks... I would estimate for a low share split number and a higher cost to stay safe... something like 12-1 at $16.00... but if it happens it will likely be in a similar range to the others, maybe at the higher side 15 - 1 to 20 - 1 @ $14.50-15.50...
Figured it might be a good thing to think about if your currently a holder...
