The notice provides that BPY may, during the twelve-month period commencing August 18, 2017 and ending August 17, 2018, purchase on the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and any alternative Canadian trading system, up to 20,468,827 limited partnership units, representing approximately 10% of its public float. At August 8, 2017 there were 255,822,556 limited partnership units issued and outstanding, with 51,134,279 limited partnership units held by insiders, giving BPY a public float of 204,688,277 limited partnership units. Under the normal course issuer bid, BPY may purchase up to 32,503 limited partnership units on the TSX during any trading day, which represents approximately 25% of the average daily trading volume of 130,014 on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the TSXs acceptance of the notice of the normal course issuer bid. This limitation does not apply to purchases made pursuant to block purchase exemptions and purchases made on another exchange.
The price to be paid for the limited partnership units under the normal course issuer bid will be the market price at the time of purchase. The actual number of limited partnership units to be purchased and the timing of such purchases will be determined by BPY, and all purchases of limited partnership units will be effected through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE and any alternative Canadian trading system. All limited partnership units purchased by BPY under this bid will be promptly cancelled.
In addition, certain subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM) may act jointly or in concert with BPY and purchase limited partnership units through open market purchases on the TSX, NYSE and other alternative Canadian trading systems pursuant to section 4.1 of National Instrument 62-104 Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids (NI 62-104). These limited partnership units will be purchased and held on behalf of BAM and will not be cancelled.
In connection with the normal course issuer bid, BPY entered into an automatic purchase plan with its designated broker. The automatic purchase plan will allow for the purchase of limited partnership units, subject to certain trading parameters, at times when BPY ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout period, insider trading rules or otherwise. Outside of these periods, limited partnership units will be repurchased in accordance with managements discretion and in compliance with applicable law. The plan will commence on August 18, 2017 and terminate on August 17, 2018.
Under its prior normal course issuer bid that commenced on August 18, 2016 and expired on August 17, 2017 (the Prior NCIB), BPY purchased 6,983,568 limited partnership units through open market purchases on the TSX, the NYSE and other alternative Canadian trading systems.
