M Split Corp. Extends Termination Date

M Split Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it will extend the termination date of the Company a further five year period from December 1, 2024 to December 1, 2029.

The term extension allows holders of XMF.A Capital Shares (“Capital Shares”) to potentially receive leveraged exposure to a portfolio consisting of common stock of Manulife Financial if the net asset value (“NAV”) exceeds $10.00, as well as receiving targeted monthly distributions if and when the NAV is greater than $15.00. Holders of the XMF.PR.B Class I Preferred Shares (“Class I Preferred Shares”) are expected to continue to benefit from cumulative preferential monthly distributions. Holders of the XMF.PR.C Class II Preferred Shares (“Class II Preferred Shares”) are expected to receive cumulative preferential monthly distributions when the NAV is greater than $10.00.

The extension of the term of the Company is not expected to be a taxable event and should enable shareholders to defer potential tax liability that would have otherwise been realized on the redemption of the Capital Shares, Class I Preferred Shares and Class II Preferred Shares at the end of the term, until such time as such shares are disposed of by shareholders.

In connection with the extension, the Company will have the right to amend the rate of cumulative preferential monthly dividends to be paid to the Class I Preferred Shares and Class II Preferred Shares for the five year renewal period, commencing December 1, 2024. Any change to the Preferred Share dividend rates for the extended term will be based on market yields for preferred shares with similar terms at such time and will be announced no later than September 30, 2024.

In connection with the term extension, the Company will offer a non-concurrent Special Retraction Right which will allow existing shareholders to tender one or both classes of Shares and receive a retraction price based on the November 29, 2024 net asset value per unit.

The Company invests in common shares of Manulife Financial Corporation, the largest life insurer in Canada offering financial products and wealth management services.
