  • Trustees’ Circular

On June 12, 2009, the Trustees of Algonquin Power Income Fund (the “Fund”) announced its intention to continue the Fund’s business under a Corporate structure.

The manner in which this change occurred involved the following details:

  • The corporation selected by the Fund’s Trustees for this transaction was Hydrogenics.
  • The transaction was accomplished through a take-over bid for the Fund (the “Transaction”) by Hydrogenics.
  • Simultaneously with the successful completion of the Transaction, Hydrogenics moved their entire business to an entirely new company which is and will remain completely unrelated to the Fund.
  • The result was Hydrogenics being a corporate shell company with $192 million in tax shield
  • The Trustees then renamed the corporate shell Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.
  • The businesses of the Fund remain unchanged following the Transaction.
  • Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. and Hydrogenics are not combining businesses.
  • The Fund’s business will not change and will continue to operate as the only wholly owned entity of this shell corporation
  • Investors that tendered units of the Fund to the offer received in exchange one share of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. for each unit of the Fund owned by the investor and therefore maintain their exact same interest in Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. as they previously did in the Fund.
  • Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. pays a dividend to shareholders at the rate of $0.24 per share per year, consistent with the Fund’s previous distribution payment of $0.24 per unit per year.

The Trustees of Algonquin Power Income Fund unanimously recommended that unitholders tender their units to the offer.
