FORUM 2005 - A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE STRATEGIC OPTIONS Balancing a lively, informative group discussion of the day's top issues with opportunities for private, informal meetings, the Power Industry Forum is the premier gathering of senior executives from electric and gas utilities, power marketers, independent power producers, financial institutions and myriad other new players in the competitive energy market. The distinguished panelists at Power Industry Forum 2005 will share insights that can only be provided by the most senior executives of organizations at the cutting edge of change. The discussion among them represents a unique opportunity to understand the future shape of the |
industry
and to evaluate how you may best position yourself and your company to
profit from today's trends.
The format of the conference lends not only to animated discussions in the formal sessions, but also to valuable exchanges of information via private meetings. A large area adjoining the conference room is set aside to enjoy refreshments as the day progresses, and to hold impromptu meetings between participants. The breakfasts, break times, luncheons, and group events are all designed to heighten interaction between participants. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to explore how to strategically reposition yourself and your company in the evolving energy industry. |

| Finding
Liquidity Through Income Securities - Cross Border Opportunities for
the U.S. Power Industry (Wednesday, May 11 - 9:00 to 11:30 am)
Accessing capital markets on attractive terms can provide liquidity for equity holders and de-leveraging opportunities for management in the U.S. power generation sector. Over the past several years the Canadian capital market has developed a robust appetite for income producing securities that produce predictable cash distributions and offer the additional prospect of measurable growth. These securities have also started to develop a following in the U.S. market under such names as Income Deposit Securities, Enhanced Income Securities and Income Participating Securities. Torys LLP has been at the forefront of this market both in Canada and the U.S. and will lead participants through the ins and outs of structuring and completing these deals. This workshop will examine the evolution of income securities in Canada and the U.S., valuation metrics, structuring offerings, management arrangements, tax and accounting issues, retained equity interest issues, process and timing considerations, post closing project finance, M&A possibilities and other topical issues. |
