PrimeWest Energy Trust announces launch of Premium Distribution component of its
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
TSX: PWI.UN; PWX; NYSE: PWI
CALGARY, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PrimeWest Energy Trust (PrimeWest)
today announces that it has received all regulatory approvals in Canada for the
new "Premium Distribution" (PREP) Component of its existing Distribution
Reinvestment (DRIP) and Optional Trust Unit Purchase Plan (OTUPP) (collectively,
the "Plan"). The Plan is not available to U.S. residents at this time.
As an alternative to the existing DRIP Component of the Plan, which allows
eligible unitholders to direct their monthly distributions to the purchase of
additional units at 95 percent of the average market price as defined in the
Plan, the new PREP Component of the Plan allows eligible unitholders to elect to
receive a premium cash distribution equal to 102 percent of the cash that the
unitholder would otherwise have received on the distribution date, subject to
proration in certain events under the Plan. Canaccord Capital Corporation will
act as Plan Broker under the PREP Component of the Plan.
Eligible unitholders may now elect to participate in the PREP Component of the
Plan commencing with the December 2003 monthly cash distribution, payable on
December 15th, 2003. Unitholders whose units are held through a nominee such as
a broker or custodian may participate in the Plan by contacting their nominee to
request enrolment in the Plan no later than November 26th, 2003. Registered
unitholders must fax or otherwise deliver a completed form to Computershare
Trust Company of Canada at the number or address noted on the enrolment forms
prior to the record date of November 28th, 2003.
The monthly distribution payment date will remain the 15th of each month (or on
the preceding trading day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday). However,
the record date and ex-distribution dates will change starting in December,
2003. The ex-distribution date for the January 15, 2004 distribution payment
date will be the third trading day following the December 15, 2003 distribution
payment date (December 18th) and the record date will be the fifth trading day
after the December 15, 2003 distribution payment date (December 22nd).
The OTUPP Component of the Plan allows those unitholders who participate in
either the DRIP Component or the PREP Component of the Plan to purchase
additional units from treasury at 95 percent of the average market price in
minimum amounts of $100 per remittance and maximum amounts of $100,000 per
calendar year. As previously announced on September 22nd, 2003 the OTUPP
Component of the Plan was fully subscribed for calendar year 2003, and will re-
commence in January 2004.
Participation in the PREP Component of the Plan is subject to limits set by
PrimeWest, proration and withholding tax reduction in certain circumstances, and
in respect of the OTUPP Component of the Plan an overall annual limit of two
percent of PrimeWest's outstanding units at the end of each fiscal year. There
are no brokerage fees or commissions payable by participants for the purchase of
the units under the Plan.
The full text of the Plan, a Question and Answer document and the enrolment and
cash payment forms will be mailed to unitholders. In addition, such materials
are available on PrimeWest's website at http://www.primewestenergy.com/ in the
