TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DREAM IMPACT TRUST ("Dream Impact" or the "Trust") (TSX: MPCT.UN) today announced that the board of trustees have determined to implement the previously announced consolidation ("Unit Consolidation") 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. The Unit Consolidation was also authorized by the unitholders of the Trust at the annual meeting of the Trust held on June 6, 2023. The Unit Consolidation will take effect on June 16, 2023 (the "Effective Date") and 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.
As of June 8, 2023, there were currently 68,412,879 Units issued and outstanding. The exact number of outstanding Units after the Unit Consolidation will vary based on the number of outstanding Units on the Effective Date and taking into account the elimination of fractional Units. No fractional Units will be issued in connection with the Unit Consolidation. All fractions of post-Consolidation Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Registered unitholders will be 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 old 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.
The Unit Consolidation is expected to affect unitholders uniformly, including holders of outstanding securities of the Trust convertible or exercisable for Units on the Effective Date, except for minor changes or adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional Units. On the Effective Date, the exercise prices and the number of Units issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any convertible debentures of the Trust, deferred units or other convertible or exchangeable securities of the Trust will be 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.
Further details on the Unit Consolidation are contained in the management information circular of the Trust dated April 21, 2023 (the "Circular"), which has been filed and is available under the Trust's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Please review the Circular for the specific terms and conditions of the Unit Consolidation. The letter of transmittal will also be available under the Trust's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
