Dividends received from another corporation to a corporate holder are subject to a 70% dividend-received deduction -- so only 30% are subject to tax.

But with an investment in another company's stock (even preferred stock), one takes market risk.

I would suspect that the company would park the cash in commercial paper, earning less than 6% until they decided what to do with it -- or pay down debt -- or a combination.
