North American Financial 15 Split Corp. Class A Share Consolidation
Toronto, Ontario – December 13, 2019 / Globe NewsWire: North American Financial 15 Split Corp. (the “Company”) announces a Class A share consolidation.
In connection with the extension of the termination date of the Company, a special retraction right was offered allowing existing shareholders to tender one or both classes of shares and receive a retraction price based on the November 29, 2019 net asset value per unit. In aggregate, more Preferred shares were tendered for retraction than Class A shares. The purpose of the share consolidation is to maintain the requirement that an equal number of Class A shares and Preferred shares remain outstanding.
Immediately after the special retraction payment on or before December 16, 2019, there will be 16,552,263 Preferred shares and 18,761,656 Class A shares outstanding. In order to restore an equal amount of shares outstanding for each Class, Class A shareholders will receive approximately 0.882238913 Class A shares for each Class A share. In addition the monthly Class A share dividend will be increased from a targeted 10
cents per share ($1.20 per annum) to 11.335 cents per share ($1.3602 per annum) in order to maintain the same pre consolidation dividend rate.
In the event that the share consolidation would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional shares, no fractional Class A shares will be issued and the number of Class A shares each holder shall receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The consolidation is a non-taxable event.
