Telus Announces Inaugural Junior Subordinated Note Offering

TELUS announced today it has priced $1.6 billion of fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes in two series, each with a 30.25-year maturity. The notes are offered through a syndicate of agents led by RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about April 21, 2025.

The 6.25% fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes, Series CAR, were priced at $99.965 per $100 principal amount for an initial effective yield of 6.25% per annum until July 21, 2030, and will mature on July 21, 2055. The 6.25% fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes, Series CAR will initially bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum and reset every five years starting July 21, 2030 to the prevailing five-year Government of Canada rate plus 3.482%, provided that the interest rate during any five-year interest period will not reset below 6.25%.

The 6.75% fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes, Series CAS, were priced at $99.959 per $100 principal amount for an initial effective yield of 6.75% per annum until July 21, 2035, and will mature on July 21, 2055.

Video: Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Emerson Nafziger from the University of Illinois breaks down decades of nitrogen research. From the evolution of N rate guidelines to how soil health and hybrid genetics influence nitrogen use efficiency, this conversation unpacks the science behind smarter fertilization. Improving how we set nitrogen fertilizer rates for rainfed corn is a key focus. Discover why the MRTN model matters more than ever, and how shifting mindsets and better data can boost yields and environmental outcomes. Tune in now on all major platforms!

"The nitrogen that comes from soil mineralization is the first nitrogen the plant sees, and its role is underestimated."

Meet the guest:

Dr. Emerson Nafziger is Professor Emeritus of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with degrees in agronomy from Ohio State, Purdue, and Illinois. His research has focused on nitrogen rate strategies and crop productivity. He co-developed the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) model, which is widely used across the Midwest. His research spans N response trials, hybrid interactions, crop rotation effects, and yield stability.
