POWER & INFRASTRUCTURE SPLIT CORP. ANNOUNCES OVERNIGHT OFFERING
Power & Infrastructure Split Corp. Executes $13.60 Class A and $10.40 Preferred Treasury Offering to Fund Portfolio Growth
Executive Summary
- Power & Infrastructure Split Corp. announced a treasury offering of Class A and Preferred Shares, with the sales period closing June 4, 2026, and expected settlement around June 11, 2026.
- Class A shares are offered at $13.60 per share, yielding an 8.8% distribution rate, while Preferred shares are offered at $10.40 per share, yielding a 6.2% return on issue price.
- The offering is explicitly structured to be non-dilutive to the company's most recently calculated NAV per unit, adjusted for accrued dividends and expenses.
- This follows the January 20, 2026 announcement of an At-The-Market (ATM) equity program authorizing up to $50 million in gross proceeds per share class.
- RBC Capital Markets is leading the offering, targeting income-focused investors. Class A shares provide monthly non-cumulative distributions, while Preferred shares offer fixed quarterly distributions with a $10.00 redemption value in May 2031.
- Distribution restrictions are in place: no Class A distributions will be paid if Preferred distributions are in arrears or if post-distribution NAV falls below $15.00.
Material Impact
- The news represents a routine execution of the previously announced ATM program. It is expected and incremental, lacking the surprise element required for a material positive rating.
- The non-dilutive pricing to NAV is a standard and necessary feature for closed-end funds to prevent NAV erosion, which is positive but not unexpected.
- The small discount to the June 2 closing prices ($13.75 for Class A, $10.48 for Preferred) is typical for treasury offerings and reflects standard market mechanics rather than a strategic concession.
- The offering provides necessary capital to fund the portfolio's investment objectives, supporting long-term distribution sustainability, but does not alter the fundamental risk/reward profile of the stock.
