Capital Power, a company that makes electricity, wants to change some of its rules for a type of loan it has. They need the permission of the people who own these loans. If they get the permission, they will also exchange the loans for a new type of loan with the same conditions but without some extra rules about what happens if the company has money problems. This new loan will have the same rating from a company that evaluates how safe it is. Capital Power says this will make everything fair for the people who own the loans and the company.

Article's Main Idea: Capital Power announces consent solicitation process for the 7.95% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1, and proposes amendments to the Series 1 Indenture and the exchange right for holders of the Series 1 Notes.
Key points:
- Capital Power announces consent solicitation process for the 7.95% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1, due September 9, 2082.
- The purpose of the consent solicitation is to seek approval for certain proposed amendments to the Indenture dated as of September 9, 2022, pursuant to which the Series 1 Notes were issued.
- The proposed amendments include an exchange right that would allow holders of the Series 1 Notes to exchange all outstanding principal amount of their Series 1 Notes for an equal principal amount of a new series of notes, the Series 3 Notes, having the same economic terms as the Series 1 Notes, but excluding provisions of the Series 1 Notes regarding delivery of preferred shares upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and related events.
- The removal of the provisions for delivery of preferred shares upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and related events from the Series 3 Notes would ensure the Series 3 Notes rank equally in right of payment with the C$450M 8.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Subordinated Notes, Series 2, upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and related events.
- Following the completion of the note exchange, Morningstar DBRS is expected to confirm the instrument rating of the Series 3 Notes at BB with a Stable trend.

- The deadline for the submission of consents by holders of the Series 1 Notes is no later than 5:00 pm (Toronto Time) on August 14, 2024, subject to modification, waiver, postponement or extension by Capital Power in its sole discretion.
- The consent solicitation statement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Series 1 Notes or any other securities. The consent solicitation statement does not constitute a solicitation of consents in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such solicitation under applicable securities laws.
