A Government of Canada bond carries this out with a five-year maturity designed by National Bank Financial Inc. and TD Securities Inc., namely 3.164 per cent, multiplied by 145 per cent, as previously announced on June 17, 2022. Therefore, the annual dividend rate applicable to the Series 3 Preferred Shares over five years is 4.59 per cent.
The annual dividend rate of 4.59 per cent begins on August 1, 2022.
