Price Chart
Executive Summary
BCE reported the results of its Series AI and AJ preferred share conversion. All outstanding Series AJ preferred shares will be converted into Series AI shares on August 4, 2026, with the new shares paying a fixed 5.10% annual dividend. The conversion is a routine capital structure adjustment with no material impact on BCE's common equity or operations.
Key Facts
- All Series AJ preferred shares will be converted into Series AI preferred shares on a one-for-one basis on August 4, 2026.
- 1,875 of 8,584,140 Series AI shares were tendered for conversion to Series AJ; 1,976,448 of 3,514,957 Series AJ shares were tendered for conversion to Series AI.
- Because fewer than 2,000,000 Series AJ shares would remain outstanding after voluntary conversions, all remaining Series AJ shares will be automatically converted into Series AI shares.
- The Series AI shares will pay a fixed quarterly cash dividend at an annual rate of 5.10% for the next five years, beginning August 4, 2026.
Financial Impact
No material financial impact on BCE common equity. The conversion involves preferred shares only, with no change to the company's cash flow, earnings, or debt. The new fixed dividend rate of 5.10% replaces the floating-rate Series AJ dividend.
