(1) In June 2016, BLPC secured support from the Government of Barbados and the Trustees of the SIF to reduce the contingency funding in the SIF to $22 million USD. As a result, Emera reduced the SIF regulatory liability to $30 million ($22 million USD) and recorded a pre-tax gain of $53 million (after-tax gain of $43 million).
(2) Mark-to-market adjustments included in Emera’s other income related to the effect of TECO Energy convertible debenture related USD-denominated currency and forward contracts. These contracts were put in place to economically hedge the anticipated proceeds from the 2015 sale of $2.185 billion 4 per cent convertible unsecured subordinated debentures represented by instalment receipts (“the Debenture Offering” or “Debentures” or “Convertible Debentures”) for the TECO Energy acquisition.
