ATH Is FOLLOWING the MEG PLAYBOOK With C$ 200M DEBT- ATH has DECIDED that C$ 200 million is the MINIMUM DEBT TARGET in their new OPTIMIZED CAPITAL STRUCTURE
- so they PLAN on ROLLING OVER this SENIOR UNSECURED NOTE that is DUE in 2029
- this is a GREAT MOVE but I am PUZZLED why they CHOOSE to DENOMINATE these 2029 Notes in Canadian Dollars versus US Dollars
* POSSIBLY (?) CHEAPER COUPON INTEREST RATES but they are TAKING a HUGE F/X EXPOSURE since their PRODUCT SALES are PRICED in US DOLLARS
- as they INCREASE BOP, their MINIMUM DEBT will also INCREASE
- for reference, MEG has TARGETED a MINIMUM DEBT of USD 600 million on a BOP of 110,000 bbls/d
