BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Feb. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM.A) today announced the pricing of a public offering of US$400 million principal amount of senior notes due 2052 (the “2052 notes”), which will bear interest at a rate of 3.625% per annum, and the pricing of a US$400 million re-opening of its 3.900% notes due 2028 (the “2028 notes” and together with the 2052 notes, the “notes”).

The 2028 notes will form part of the same series as the already outstanding US$650 million principal amount of 3.900% notes due 2028 (the “existing notes”), which were issued on January 17, 2018. After giving effect to the re-opening, the aggregate principal amount of the series will be US$1.05 billion. The terms of the 2028 notes will be identical to the existing notes, other than the issue date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. The 2028 notes will be issued at a price equal to 107.134% of their face value plus accrued and unpaid interest from January 25, 2022 (the most recent interest payment date applicable to the existing notes) through, but excluding, the date of delivery of such notes, with an effective yield of 2.553%, if held to maturity.

Brookfield intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the 2052 notes to Eligible Investments in accordance with Brookfield’s Green Bond Framework, published in November 2021. Eligible Investments generally include the financing or refinancing of green buildings, renewable energy generation, energy efficiency and management, as well as sustainable water and waste management. Pending such allocation, the net proceeds from the sale of the 2052 notes will be temporarily used for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2028 notes will be used for general corporate purposes.
