On March 14, 2025, ECN Capital Corp. announced a public offering of C$75 million in 6.50% convertible senior unsecured debentures due April 30, 2030. Priced at C$1,000 per debenture, they bear interest payable semi-annually starting October 31, 2025. The Toronto Stock Exchange conditionally approved listing of the debentures under “ECN.DB.C” and the shares issuable upon conversion. Closing occurred on March 19, 2025.
The offering was led by CIBC Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Markets, BMO Capital Markets, and RBC Capital Markets, with additional underwriters Raymond James Ltd., TD Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Cormark Securities Inc.
