Dividends, interest and other income totalled $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, in comparison to $2.6 million in the same period in 2008 and consist principally of dividends and interest earned on the company's securities portfolio. The decrease in investment income is primarily the result of lower interest rates on floating rate investments.
On October 1, 2009, the company amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. ("Brookfield") which resulted in Brookfield acquiring 100% of the preferred shares of the company. At the time of the transaction, Brookfield owned approximately 99% of the cumulative redeemable convertible Class E Preferred Shares, Series 1. The preferred shares owned by Brookfield were exchanged on a one-for-one basis into 7% cumulative redeemable convertible Class A Preferred Shares, Series 1 of the newly formed company. Subsequent to the amalgamation, Brookfield invested additional capital into the company in exchange for a new class of 4.68% cumulative redeemable convertible Class A Preferred Shares, Series 2. The proceeds were used to redeem and cancel the remaining preferred shares of the company that Brookfield did not own. At December 31, 2009, undeclared dividends in arrears on the Class A Preferred Shares, Series 1 and 2 were $53.0 million, whereas the unaccrued preferred share dividends of the Class E, Series 1 Preferred Shares at December 31, 2008 were $50.6 million.
