On July 20, 2021, Brookfield Property REIT Inc., Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Brookfield Property Partners L.P. announced that Brookfield Property REIT Inc. will redeem all outstanding shares of its 6.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) (CUSIP 11282X202) on August 19, 2021 (the “Redemption”). The Series A Preferred Stock currently trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “BPYUP.” A press release announcing the Redemption is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, August 19, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”), which equals approximately $0.21250 per share, without interest, for total proceeds per share of $25.21250 (the “Redemption Price”). Dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will cease to accrue and accumulate on the Redemption Date. Upon the Redemption, the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will no longer be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price. Upon the Redemption, the Series A Preferred Stock will no longer trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Payment to DTC for the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be made by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Redemption Agent”).

 

The irrevocable notice of redemption was provided to the registered holders of Series A Preferred Stock on July 20, 2021.
