Oct 31 (Reuters) - Brookfield Corporation ( BN ) and
Brookfield Asset Management ( BAM ) said on Thursday that they
will make changes to the latter's corporate structure.
Brookfield Asset Management ( BAM ) has entered into an agreement
whereby it would own 100% of the asset management business, the
companies said.
Brookfield Corp's ( BN ) current 73% interest in the asset
management business will now be held through its ownership of
approximately 73% of Brookfield Asset Management's ( BAM ) publicly
traded shares, the companies said.
Brookfield Asset Management ( BAM ) has also moved its head office
to New York.
The companies said that this arrangement will not change
operations or strategic plans for the companies and that it has
no effect on the tax treatment of their respective dividends.
A special meeting for Brookfield Asset Management ( BAM )
shareholders is scheduled for Dec. 20 to vote on the proposed
changes. If approved, and pending regulatory and exchange
approvals, the arrangement could be finalized in early 2025, the
companies added.
