Q: Hi, from a recent Globe article (excerpt below) it appears a substantial activist shareholder group is taking issue with the deal announced with BEP. Do you feel it has the potential to derail the Deal or substantially modify it. So far the market has not reacted to this news. Thanks.

“However, Mangrove Partners, Bluescape Energy Partners and Cove Key Management LP rejected the deal earlier this week for leaning too heavily in favour of Brookfield, and said they would nominate five directors to TransAlta’s 10-member board with the aim of being able to terminate the investment.

On Friday, the investors – which own a combined 10.1 per cent of TransAlta’s outstanding shares – issued a statement calling on TransAlta to release more details on its decision to side with Brookfield, which it called a “rushed process.”

Spokespersons at TransAlta and Brookfield declined to comment.

“Let me be clear: Our goal is not to stop this transaction, but rather to ensure that the company retains the option to pursue or renegotiate a better one," Mangrove Partners’ Mr. August said.”

Q: Hello! What do you think of TA now, given this announcement, and in light of your comments regarding their latest results? Also, the stock price is up by about 4% today. Is it best to sell and move on?

Q: Good morning.
I am looking to swap out some preferred shares that have dropped in value, for others that are approximately the same price. One that I found was TA-PR-H, however, I show them as not being profitable, and with high debt. You don't seem positive on the stock, according to other questions, but would you invest in their prefs?
Thanks, and enjoy your weekend everyone.

Q: First of all thank you for putting the "sectors" beside the names in your portfolios - that is much appreciated.

Could you please list the "utility" companies you like best in order or preference and could you state if it is "large" company or a "small" company.
Thank you
Margaret
