Brookfield Announces 2023 Dividend for the Manager and Corporation

BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Dec. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM.A) (“Brookfield”) and Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (the “Manager”) today jointly announced the expected 2023 dividends for the Corporation (defined below) and the Manager.

As previously announced, the transaction for the public listing and distribution of a 25% interest in Brookfield’s asset management business, through the Manager, by way of a plan of arrangement (“Arrangement”) is expected to be effective at the close of business on December 9, 2022. On the Arrangement becoming effective, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. will be renamed Brookfield Corporation (the "Corporation”).

Beginning in the first quarter of 2023:

  1. the Corporation is expected to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per Corporation class A limited voting share (representing $0.28 per annum) and;

  2. the Manager is expected to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per Manager class A limited voting share.

Combined, and assuming Corporation shareholders retain their Manager shares received in the Arrangement, the Corporation’s quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share and the Manager’s quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share (equivalent to $0.08 per share held today, adjusted for the shares being distributed to the public), would equate to $0.15 per current Class A share; representing a 7% increase.

Brookfield shareholders of record at November 30, 2022 will receive the previously declared fourth quarter 2022 dividend of $0.14 on December 30, 2022.

Additional Details for Series 8 and 9 Class A Preference Shares in Regards to the Arrangement

Brookfield also announced that holders of the Corporation’s Series 8 class A preference shares will receive 0.1030 of a Manager class A limited voting share and a new Series 51 Corporation class A preference share for every Series 8 preference share held. Holders of the Corporation’s Series 9 class A preference shares will receive 0.1010 of a Manager class A limited voting share and a new Series 52 Corporation class A preference share for every Series 9 preference share held.  The redemption price of the new preference shares, as adjusted to reflect the receipt of the Manager class A limited voting shares, will be of C$22.44 per Series 51 share (received by holders of Series 8 shares) and C$22.00 per Series 52 share (received by holders of Series 9 shares).
