On March 31, 2025, Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec (“FCDQ”) announced that it had filed a final short form base shelf prospectus (the “prospectus”) with the securities regulatory authorities of each Canadian province. Pursuant to the prospectus, FCDQ may issue, over the next 25 months, up to $2 billion in medium-term debt securities (principal at risk) (the “notes”), to be issued in one or more tranches of one or more series.
The notes may be offered by Desjardins Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., iA Private Wealth Inc., Laurentian Bank Securities Inc., Manulife Wealth Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Raymond James Ltd. and Wellington-Altus Private Wealth Inc., and by such other investment dealers that may be selected from time to time by FCDQ pursuant to a dealer agreement. The brokers will act as selling agents, underwriters or principals, as the case may be, subject to confirmation by FCDQ.
A Fasken team composed of Peter Villani, Guillaume Saliah, Damien Hallé-Hannan, Mathieu Kiriakos, Quentin Lageix and Youcef Belrachid advised the brokers in connection with this transaction.
