DEDHAM, Mass., Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlantic Power Corporation (TSX: ATP) (NYSE: AT) (the "Company" or "Atlantic Power") and Atlantic Power Preferred Equity Ltd ("APPEL") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has approved Atlantic Power's renewal of its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") for the following series of the Company's convertible unsecured subordinated debentures and its common shares and APPEL's renewal of its NCIB for each of the following series of its preferred shares (collectively, the "Public Securities"):

a)  the 6.0% Series E Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures due January 31, 2025 (the "6.0% Cdn$115.0 Million Debentures") (TSX: ATP.DB.E).

b)  the common shares (the "Common Shares")  (TSX:ATP);

c)  the 4.85% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series 1 (the "Series 1 Preferred Shares") (TSX: AZP.PR.A);

d)  the Cumulative Rate Reset Preferred Shares, Series 2 (the "Series 2 Preferred Shares") (TSX: AZP.PR.B); and

e)  the Cumulative Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 3 (the "Series 3 Preferred Shares") (TSX: AZP.PR.C).

Atlantic Power and APPEL intend to commence their NCIBs on December 31, 2019.  The NCIBs will expire on December 30, 2020 or such earlier date as the Company and/or APPEL complete their respective purchases pursuant to the NCIBs or terminate them at their option.  Under its current NCIB which expires December 30, 2019, Atlantic Power has purchased 662,284 of its common shares at an average price of Cdn$3.03.  There were no purchases of its 6.0% Series E Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures.  APPEL has purchased 427,500 of its Series 1 Preferred Shares at an average price of Cdn$14.26; 100,377 of its Series 2 Preferred Shares at an average price of Cdn$18.27; and 148,311 of its Series 3 Preferred Shares at an average price of Cdn$17.69.

Atlantic Power and APPEL believe that their Public Securities may trade in ranges that may not fully reflect their value.  As a result, Atlantic Power and APPEL believe that the purchase of their Public Securities from time to time can be undertaken at prices that make the acquisition of such securities an appropriate use of Atlantic Power's available funds.  In addition, purchases under the NCIBs may increase the liquidity of the Public Securities.

Atlantic Power and APPEL will enter into a pre-defined automatic securities purchase plan ("ASPP") with their broker in order to facilitate repurchases of their Public Securities under their NCIBs.  Under the ASPP, commencing December 31, 2019, the broker for Atlantic Power and APPEL may repurchase their Public Securities under the NCIBs at any time, including without limitation when the Company and APPEL ordinarily would not be permitted to due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods.  Purchases will be made by the broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the parties' written agreement.  The ASPP will be in place for the one-year period of the NCIBs.  RBC Capital Markets has been appointed as the broker of record for the Company's and APPEL's NCIBs.  All Public Securities purchased under the NCIBs will be cancelled.

As of December 17, 2019, Atlantic Power had outstanding:

a)  Cdn$115,000,000 principal amount of the 6.0% Cdn$115.0 Million Debentures; and

b)  109,032,701 outstanding Common Shares. 

As of December 17, 2019, APPEL had outstanding:

c)  3,847,500 outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares;

d)  2,232,717 outstanding Series 2 Preferred Shares; and

e)  1,348,805 outstanding Series 3 Preferred Shares.

Under the NCIBs, the broker for Atlantic Power and APPEL may purchase up to 10% of the public float of Atlantic Power's convertible debentures and common shares and up to 10% of the public float of APPEL's preferred shares, determined as of December 17, 2019, up to the following limits:
