The notes, which had an initial interest rate of 1.18%, were remarketed with a reset interest rate of 5.365% per annum, effective on the Settlement Date of March 28, 2024.
The remarketing was conducted by a syndicate of agents led by BofA Securities, CIBC World Markets Corp., and RBC Capital Markets. Legal counsel for the transaction included Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP for Canadian matters and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP for U.S. matters, with Bennett Jones LLP and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP representing the remarketing agents.
