Prime Dividend Corp. (TSX: PDV) has announced the renewal of its at-the-market equity program, replacing a prior program established in August 2024 that has since terminated. The renewed ATM Program, effective until October 9, 2028, allows the company to issue Class A Shares and Preferred Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange at prevailing market prices, with maximum gross proceeds capped at $10,000,000. The program is structured through an equity distribution agreement with National Bank Financial Inc. dated September 9, 2026, and investors may be watching how the company deploys any raised capital within its Canadian equity portfolio.

Key Points

  • The company has renewed its at-the-market equity program, effective until October 9, 2028, unless terminated earlier

ATM Program Terms and National Bank Financial Agreement

The renewed program is governed by an equity distribution agreement dated September 9, 2026 with National Bank Financial Inc. acting as agent. Sales of both Class A Shares and Preferred Shares will be conducted as at-the-market distributions on the TSX or any other eligible Canadian marketplace where the shares are listed or traded. Because shares are sold at prevailing market prices, prices may vary among purchasers during the distribution period. The program is offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated September 9, 2026, accompanying a short form base shelf prospectus dated September 8, 2026.

Use of Proceeds and PDV's Canadian Equity Portfolio

Prime Dividend Corp. states it intends to use proceeds from the ATM Program in accordance with its investment objectives, strategies, and restrictions. The company holds a portfolio of high-yielding Canadian equities spanning six major banks — including Royal Bank of Canada, TD Bank, and Bank of Montreal — alongside life insurers such as Manulife and Sun Life, investment managers including IGM Financial and AGF Management, and utilities and infrastructure names like BCE, TC Energy, and TransAlta. The volume and timing of any share issuances under the ATM Program remain at the company's sole discretion.

Program Scope and Replacement of Prior 2024 Facility

The renewed ATM Program directly replaces the prior program established in August 2024, which has now terminated. The new facility extends the company's flexibility to raise equity capital opportunistically over a roughly two-year window ending October 9, 2028. The $10,000,000 gross proceeds ceiling applies across all share classes distributed under the program. The immediate share price impact was not clear from available public information. No specific issuance schedule or target capital raise amount was disclosed in the announcement beyond the stated maximum.
