The Board declared a quarterly distribution of
Distribution of 25% of Brookfield’s Asset Management Business
Today Brookfield provided an update on its plan to distribute to its shareholders, and publicly list, a 25% interest in its asset management business. As part of this update, Brookfield has advised that, pursuant to the transaction, holders of class A exchangeable limited voting shares (“Class A Shares”) of our company (which are exchangeable for Brookfield Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis) will be treated equally to Brookfield Class A Shares from an economic perspective. While the details of the transaction are still being finalized, we expect that holders of our Class A Shares will be able to participate in the distribution without the need to exchange their shares for Brookfield Class A shares in advance of the transaction. We look forward to providing you with further updates in the coming months.
