Enbridge Inc. sold C$1 billion ($811 million) of 60-year bonds on Thursday, following in the footsteps of fellow Canadian pipeline giant TransCanada Corp.
The Calgary-based pipeline operator priced fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2077 that could be automatically converted into preference shares in case of bankruptcy. The notes, redeemable after September 2027, pay a coupon of 5.375 percent, according to people familiar with the matter, who are not authorized to speak publicly.
