Commerce Split Corp. Preferred Share Rates Maintained

TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Commerce Split Corp. (the “Company”) announces there will be no change to the annual rates of the Company’s Preferred Shares for the new five-year term commencing December 1, 2024. Payments will continue to be equal to 6.00% annually or $0.30 per Class I Preferred Share and 7.50% annually or $0.375 per Class II Preferred Share (if and when the net asset value per unit exceeds $10.00), based on their $5.00 repayment values. These rates are in keeping with market yields for preferred shares with similar terms.

As previously announced on March 12, 2024 the Company will extend the termination date a further five year period from December 1, 2024 to December 1, 2029. In relation to the term extension, the Company has an additional retraction right for those shareholders not wishing to continue holding their investment, allowing existing shareholders to tender any or all classes of shares and receive a retraction price based on the November 29, 2024 net asset value per unit. Alternatively, shareholders may sell their shares for the market price at any time, potentially at a higher price than would be achieved through retraction, or shareholders may take no action and continue to hold their shares.

The Company invests in common shares of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, a Canadian financial institution.
