FTN.PR.A Reinstates Capital Unit Dividend

Financial 15 Split Corp. has announced:

its regular monthly distribution of $0.1257 for each Class A share ($1.5084 annually) and $0.04375 for each Preferred share ($0.525 annually). Distributions are payable June 10, 2009 to shareholders on record as of May 29, 2009.

This is of interest since the Capital Unit Dividend was suspended in December; therefore capital unitholders received no distributions for the five months from December to April inclusive, which has avoided the reduction of NAV by about $0.62.

The NAV on May 29 was $15.91 on May 29, according to the company.

FTN.PR.A is tracked by HIMIPref™ but has been relegated to the “Scraps” index due to credit concerns. It was last mentioned on PrefBlog when DBRS downgraded it to Pfd-4 in February as part of a mass downgrade of SplitShares.
