Brookfield Asset Management established a private placement commercial paper program allowing up to $1 billion in unsecured notes outstanding to provide short-term liquidity and diversify its balance sheet. Proceeds from any issuance will fund general corporate purposes.
1. Commercial Paper Program Details
Brookfield Asset Management has set up a private placement commercial paper program that permits issuance of unsecured notes up to a maximum aggregate of $1 billion at any time. The notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and will target institutional investors through applicable exemptions.
