TrizecHahn Selling $204 Million of Bonds to Refinance Debt


Toronto, March 11 (Bloomberg) -- TrizecHahn Corp., one of North America's largest real estate
companies, said it will sell $204 million of bonds to refinance some debt at a lower interest rate.

The Toronto-based company said the proceeds from the 25-year bonds will be used to redeem
half of $600 million face amount of higher-interest bonds, saving it about $5.5 million a year.

The new bonds are being sold through Newcrest Capital Inc. in a private placement expected to
be completed Friday, the company said. The bonds are convertible into common shares of Barrick
Gold Corp., a company controlled by TrizecHahn Chairman Peter Munk.

Interest on the bonds is payable based on the dividend on Barrick's common shares plus 1.35
percentage points. Barrick paid a dividend of 18 cents a share in 1998, for a yield of 0.95 percent.

The old bonds, which mature in December 2018, pay an annual interest rate of 3.25 percent and
are also convertible into Barrick shares. TrizecHahn said it plans to redeem the balance of the
3.25 percent bonds.

TrizecHahn -- formed from the merger of Horsham Corp. and Trizec Corp. in 1996 -- is one of the
North America's fastest- growing real estate companies. It controls $6 billion of real estate in North
America and Europe. It owns or has a stake in 119 properties with 65 million square feet of space.
