Subsidiary redeemable preferred stock

In conjunction with the formation of our SemCAMS Midstream joint venture, SemCAMS Midstream issued 300,000 shares of cumulative preferred stock with a C$1,000 (US$749 at the March 31, 2019 exchange rate) notional value which pay annual dividends of C$87.50 per share. The preferred stock is redeemable at SemCAMS Midstream’s option subsequent to the third anniversary of issuance at a redemption price of C$1,100 (US$824 at the March 31, 2019 exchange rate) per share. The preferred stock is redeemable by the holder contingent upon a change of control or liquidation of SemCAMS Midstream. The preferred stock is convertible to SemCAMS Midstream common shares in the event of an initial public offering by SemCAMS Midstream.

The preferred stock was issued for proceeds of C$293.7 million (US$223.8 million at the historical rate) which is net of C$6.3 million (US$4.8 million at the historical rate) of costs. As the preferred stock is redeemable after three years, we have made a policy election to record the preferred stock at the redemption amount of C$330 million (US$250.2 million at the historical rate). The accretion to redemption amount is treated as a reduction to SemCAMS common equity held by SemGroup and the noncontrolling interest holders.

Dividends on the preferred stock are payable in-kind for the first ten quarters subsequent to issuance. SemCAMS elected to pay in-kind dividends for the first quarter of 2019 in the amount of C$2.5 million (US$1.9 million at the March 31, 2019 exchange rate), which is prorated for the period subsequent to the transaction.
