Yankee Bonds

The Yankee Bond program is used for financings in U.S. dollars. The province agrees to sell a specified amount of marketable bonds to a syndicate of underwriters, which then markets the bonds to U.S.-based investors. Syndicate members are selected according to a number of criteria such as market distribution capabilities and track record, previous service, reputation and pricing. Bonds are:

• issued in U.S. dollars
• documented under British Columbia law
• settled through The Depository Trust Company (DTC)
• book-based form (non-bearer) only

The province maintains a U.S. "shelf registration" with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing permits the province to issue debt securities in the United States, including domestic U.S. dollar securities and global bonds.
