On September 10, 2018, the Debt Issuers issued C$500 million of medium-term notes under the Indenture maturing September 11, 2028 in the Canadian bond market with a coupon of 4.2%, which was swapped into U.S. dollars on a matched maturity basis at an all-in rate of 4.7%. On April 17, 2017, the Debt Issuers issued C$400 million of medium-term notes under the Indenture maturing February 22, 2024 in the Canadian bond market with a coupon of 3.3%, which was swapped into U.S. dollars on a matched maturity basis at an all-in rate of 4.0%. On February 22, 2017, the Debt Issuers issued C$300 million of medium-term notes under the Indenture maturing February 22, 2024 in the Canadian bond market with a coupon of 3.3%, which was swapped into U.S. dollars on a matched maturity basis at an all-in rate of 4.1%. As they matured, the Debt Issuers repaid C$400 million of medium-term notes on October 10, 2017 and C$125 million of medium term notes on October 30, 2018. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our partnership and its subsidiaries, the Holding LP, Brookfield Infrastructure Holdings (Canada) Inc., Brookfield Infrastructure US Holdings I Corporation and BIP Bermuda Holdings I Limited (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Guarantors will also fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment obligations of Brookfield Infrastructure Preferred Equity Inc. (“Pref Finco” and collectively with the Debt Issuers, the “Fincos”) in respect of any Class A preference shares issued to the public by the Pref Finco, if and when issued. A base shelf prospectus of BIP Investment Corporation (“BIPIC”) dated as of November 23, 2018 provides for the issuance of one or more series of senior preferred shares of BIPIC. The Guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment obligations of BIPIC in respect of any senior preferred shares issued by BIPIC under the prospectus. Each of the Fincos and BIPIC are subsidiaries of our partnership. In the tables below, information relating to the Fincos has been combined. The Fincos have not guaranteed the obligations of BIPIC, nor has BIPIC guaranteed the obligations of the Fincos. Subsequent to year end, on February 5, 2019, BIPIC issued 4 million Series 1 Senior Preferred Shares at C$25 per unit with a quarterly fixed dividend at a rate of 5.85% annually for the initial period ending March 31, 2024. In total, C$100 million or $75 million of gross proceeds were raised, $2 million in underwriting costs were incurred and less than $1 million in issuance costs were incurred.
