| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 9, 2025, Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (“BAM”) completed its offering of US$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.077% notes due 2055 (the “Notes”).
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 24, 2025 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among BAM, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian Trustee (the “Canadian Trustee”), and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as U.S. trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 9, 2025 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among BAM, the Canadian Trustee and the U.S. Trustee.
The Notes bear interest at 6.077% per annum and will mature on September 15, 2055. Interest on the Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year beginning March 15, 2026. BAM will be required to pay additional amounts in the event that BAM is required to withhold or deduct certain taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.
At any time and from time to time prior to March 15, 2055 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity date), BAM may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price as described in the Indenture. At any time and from time to time on or after March 15, 2025, BAM may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date as described in the Indenture. BAM may also redeem the Notes in the event of certain changes affecting Canadian withholding tax.
The Indenture contains certain restrictions, including a limitation that restricts BAM’s ability to incur liens. The Indenture also provides that BAM will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase upon the occurrence of certain change of control events.
