Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Unit, each Unit consisting of one Class A Capital Share and one Class B Preferred Share, for a subscription price of $62.78 per Unit. The warrants are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ABK.WT.

Holders of Class B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative dividends equal to $0.3344 per Class B Preferred Share. The Company’s Capital Share dividend policy is to pay holders of Class A Capital Shares quarterly dividends in an amount equal to the dividends received on the underlying portfolio securities minus the dividends payable on the Class B Preferred Shares and all administrative and operating expenses provided the net asset value per Unit at the time of declaration, after giving effect to the dividend, would be greater than the original issue price of the Class B Preferred Shares.

Allbanc Split Corp. is a mutual fund corporation created to hold a portfolio of publicly listed common shares of selected Canadian chartered banks. The Class A Capital Shares and Class B Preferred Shares of Allbanc Split Corp. are all listed for trading on The Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols ABK.A and ABK.PR.B respectively.

The NAV as of May 12 was 66.86, sufficient for Asset Coverage of 2.5-:1, and making the warrants significantly in-the-money. The warrants issue was reported on PrefBlog.

ABK.PR.B was last mentioned on PrefBlog when there was a partial call for redemption in February. AKB.PR.B is not tracked by HIMIPref™ but if the warrant issue goes well – and there is every reason to believe it should – it will be added.
