DREAM IMPACT TRUST (“Dream Impact” or the “Trust”) (TSX: MPCT.UN) today confirmed that the previously announced consolidation (“UnitConsolidation”) of all the issued and outstanding units of the Trust (“Units”) on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Unit for every four (4) pre-consolidation Units became effective today. The Unit Consolidation was previously authorized by the unitholders of the Trust at the annual meeting of the Trust held on June 6, 2023. The Units are expected to begin trading on a post-consolidation basis on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) at markets open on June 20, 2023 under the same trading symbol “MPCT.UN”. The new CUSIP and ISIN numbers for the post-Consolidation Units are 26154L128 and CA26154L1287.
At markets close as of June 15, 2023, there were 68,538,274 Units issued and outstanding. The exact number of outstanding Units after the Unit Consolidation is 17,134,554, after taking into account the elimination of fractional Units. No fractional Units were issued in connection with the Unit Consolidation. All fractions of post-Consolidation Units were rounded down to the nearest whole number.
On June 15, 2023, registered unitholders were mailed a letter of transmittal from the Trust’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, providing instructions regarding how to exchange their existing unit certificates representing pre-consolidation Units for Direct Registration advice statements or unit certificates representing the post-consolidation Units to which they are entitled as a result of the Unit Consolidation. Until surrendered to the transfer agent, each unit certificate representing pre-consolidation Units will be deemed to represent the number of new whole post-consolidation Units to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Unit Consolidation. Non-registered unitholders holding their Units through a bank, broker or other nominee are encouraged to contact their nominee for further information.
Registered holders of the Trust’s 5.50% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures due 2026 (the “5.50% Debentures”) and the Trust’s 5.75% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures due 2027 (the “5.75% Debentures”) will be given notice of the effect of the Unit Consolidation pursuant to the Trust Indentures dated August 3, 2021 and June 9, 2022. On and after today, the 5.50% Debentures are convertible into Units at a conversion price of $31.02 per unit, being a conversion rate of approximately 32.2373 units for each $1,000 principal amount of 5.50% Debentures. On and after today, the 5.75% Debentures are convertible into Units at a conversion price of $32.00 per unit, being a conversion rate of approximately 31.2500 units for each $1,000 principal amount of 5.75% Debentures.
The exercise prices and the number of Units issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any deferred units or other convertible or exchangeable securities of the Trust have been automatically proportionately adjusted based on the consolidation ratio to reflect the Unit Consolidation.
As a result of the Unit Consolidation, the current monthly distributions of the Trust of $0.01333 on a pre-consolidation basis is expected to be adjusted to $0.05333 per Unit on a post-consolidation basis, representing annualized distributions of $0.64 per Unit on a post-consolidation basis.
