DRs were not offered to any shareholder in the United States. Each shareholder in the United States received BSD$8.85 in cash for each ICDU share being acquired.

ICDU controls 50% of Grand Bahama Power Company Limited (“GBPC”), a vertically-integrated utility and the sole provider of electricity on Grand Bahama Island in The Bahamas with approximately CAD $0.4 billion of assets.

All of Emera’s Caribbean interests, including GBPC, are held through its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Emera (Caribbean) Incorporated.
