Premium Brands’ deal may set new protection standard for convertible debenture investors

Premium Brands owns a broad range of leading specialty food manufacturing and differentiated food distribution businesses.

Investors in convertible debentures have won a significant victory that in all probability will end up a new standard, all to help ensure their rights are fully protected come maturity time.

The victory became official now when Premium Brands Holdings Corp. raised $75 million by way of an offering of 4.65 per cent five-year converts. The proceeds will help Vancouver-based Premium finance the $146 million takeover of Montreal based C&C Packing.

The breakthrough is detailed in 11 lines contained in the so-called term sheet. Underneath the section titled Restriction on Share Redemption Right, investors are told Premium “shall not, directly or indirectly undertake or announce any rights offering, [or] issuance of securities,” whereby the number and price of securities to be issued is “related” towards the “exercise from the share redemption right or even the market price.”
