Expected closing date September 17, 2026 Expected closing of both US and Canadian note offerings
private placement financial
"public offering of US$1,300,000,000 Notes and Canadian private placement"
A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.
commercial paper program financial
"including, without limitation, to repay existing indebtedness under its commercial paper program"
A commercial paper program is a formal way a company issues very short-term IOUs to raise quick cash, typically for days to months, without using a bank loan. Investors care because it shows how the company manages short-term funding and how trustworthy it appears—like watching whether someone keeps using and repaying a credit card; frequent use or higher costs can signal cash strain, while smooth issuance suggests healthy liquidity.
joint shelf registration statement regulatory
"as part of an effective joint shelf registration statement on Forms F-10 and F-3"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Certain statements in this news release are “forward-looking statements”"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Floating Rate Notes financial
"interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears"
Floating rate notes are debt securities that pay interest that adjusts periodically based on a short-term interest benchmark (for example, LIBOR or SOFR), so the cash interest you receive goes up or down with market rates. For investors they act like an adjustable-rate loan: they help protect income when overall interest rates rise and generally lose less value than fixed-rate bonds when rates move, making them useful for managing interest-rate risk.
