Chief Financial Officer & Corporate Secretary: Mark Myles
Incorporation: The Company was incorporated on September 17, 1985 under the Companies Act (British Columbia). On April 11, 2001 the Company was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On February 27, 2008, the Company reorganized its corporate structure pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On February 6, 2009, the Company filed articles of amendment to change its name to "Deans Knight Income Corporation".
Fiscal Year End: December 31
Nature of Business: The net proceeds of the Offering will be invested by the Company in an actively managed portfolio consisting primarily of corporate debt securities rated BBB or below by Standard & Poor's Rating Services or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Company may also invest in investment grade debt securities rated above BBB and non-rated debt securities from time to time.
Transfer Agent & Registrar: Computershare Trust Company of Canada at its principal offices in Toronto and Vancouver.
Investment Advisor: Deans Knight Capital Management Ltd.
Distributions: The Company intends to declare and pay a monthly cash dividend to shareholders targeted to pay out a minimum of 75% of net earnings annually. The initial monthly dividend amount is expected to be approximately $0.0583 per share payable on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record on June 15, 2009. This represents a 7.0% dividend yield per annum based on the $10.00 per share issue price. The Company will continue to determine and announce, on a quarterly basis, an indicative dividend amount for the following three months, based upon the prevailing market conditions and the estimate by the Company of cash flow for the period. As credit spreads narrow, the Company intends to pay out a higher percentage of earned income. It is expected that monthly cash dividends payable to shareholders will be derived primarily from interest received by the Portfolio. As a result of this and other factors, dividends may fluctuate from month to month and there can be no assurance that the Company will pay its targeted dividends or any dividend in any particular month.
Initial Public Offering: Pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus, up to 17,500,000 Common Shares at a price of $10 per Common Share, are being offered to the public by GMP Securities L.P., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Canaccord Capital Corporation, TD Securities Inc., Blackmont Capital Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and FirstEnergy Capital Corp. as agents.
