LONGUEUIL, QC, Aug. 31, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. (TSX: INE) ("Innergex" or the "Corporation") has implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("the Plan" or "DRIP") for its common shareholders which takes effect immediately.
Innergex is pleased to offer its shareholders the opportunity to participate in its DRIP, which enables them to reinvest all or part of their cash dividends into additional shares of the Corporation in an efficient and cost effective manner.
Plan shares purchased under the DRIP will be issued from treasury and their purchase price will be the weighted-average trading price of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the five (5) business days immediately preceding the dividend payment date, less a discount of 2.5%.
Since the DRIP gives the Corporation the option of buying shares on the Canadian market, issuing new shares from treasury, or choosing a combination of the two, any decision made by the board of directors to change either the purchase method for the shares or the discount granted on the purchase price of shares issued from treasury will be communicated by press release.
Reinvestments will occur automatically until participation in the Plan is terminated. Participating shareholders will also be able to withdraw or sell whole Plan shares at any time, according to the terms of the Plan.
Registered shareholders of Innergex who are residents of Canada are eligible to enrol in the Plan directly at any time, by using Computershare's self-service Web portal, Investor Centre, at www.computershare.com/investorcentrecanada, or by calling Computershare at 1 800 564-6253.
Non-registered shareholders of Innergex who are residents of Canada and who hold their common shares through an intermediary (typically a broker or financial institution) are eligible to enrol in the Plan indirectly at any time by contacting their intermediary and making arrangements regarding enrolment in the Plan on their behalf.
Shareholders who wish to purchase additional shares under the Plan in connection with the October 2012 dividend payment must be enrolled in the Plan by September 21, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. ET.
