tender offers

TELUS Corporation has finalized pricing for its cash tender offers to repurchase outstanding notes. This strategic debt management move specifies terms for various series of senior notes maturing between 2030 and 2051. The company expects to settle these transactions on July 3, 2025. RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and others are managing the offers.

BlackRock’s closed-end funds, including BOE and BCX, saw heavy oversubscription in their tender offers, exceeding the 2.5% buyback cap due to heightened investor demand for liquidity amid shifting rate expectations. Shares will be repurchased at 98% of May 20 NAVs ($11.88 for BOE; $9.73 for BCX), with prorated allocations. Analysts interpret the surge as tactical positioning ahead of anticipated Fed actions. BlackRock emphasized transparency amid market volatility but cautioned about uncertainties impacting future operations, highlighting broader trends where liquidity preferences shape portfolio strategies.
