ARLINGTON, Va., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) («AES» or the «Company») announced today its intention to offer to sell, subject to market and other conditions, 10,000,000 Equity Units (the «Units»), each with a stated amount of $100. The Company expects the Units will initially consist of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (the «Convertible Preferred Stock»), with an aggregate liquidation preference of $1.0 billion, and contracts to purchase, for an aggregate of $1.0 billion, shares of the Company’s common stock (the «Common Stock»). The Company expects to grant to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Units, solely to cover over-allotments. The offering will be made pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the «SEC»).

The Common Stock is expected to be delivered upon settlement of the purchase contracts on February 15, 2024 (subject to early settlement in certain circumstances).

The Company expects to pay, quarterly in arrears, contract adjustment payments on the stated amount of each Unit and cumulative dividends, when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors, on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case, at a rate to be determined in connection with the offering. The Company may pay such contract adjustment payments and dividends in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, unless the Company has previously irrevocably elected a contract adjustment payment method or dividend payment method, as the case may be, to apply. The Company may also, in its discretion, defer contract adjustment payments on the Units.

Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted only after being separated from the Units and, prior to February 15, 2024, only upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change events if such fundamental change event occurs prior to a successful remarketing of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon any such conversion, the Company will deliver in respect of each $1,000 liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock being converted (i) one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock or, solely with respect to conversions in connection with a redemption, up to $1,000 in cash and (ii) shares of Common Stock, if any, in respect of any conversion value in excess of the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock being converted.

The Convertible Preferred Stock is expected to be remarketed during either an optional remarketing period beginning on, and including, November 15, 2023 and ending on, and including, February 1, 2024 or a final remarketing period beginning on, and including, February 7, 2024 and ending on, and including, February 13, 2024. Upon any successful remarketing, the conversion rate and/or the dividend rate of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be increased, and the earliest redemption date for the Convertible Preferred Stock may be changed to a later date that is on or prior to March 21, 2025. 

The Convertible Preferred Stock is perpetual, but the Company may redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock from and after March 22, 2024 (which date may be changed to a later date as described above), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference thereof, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to develop its renewables business, U.S. utility businesses, LNG infrastructure and for other developments determined by management.  

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BofA Securities and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are acting as joint book-running managers of this offering.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sales of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.  

The offering of these securities may be made only by means of a prospectus and a related prospectus supplement.

Su total de 13 departamentos entre los 10 primeros es menor que en 2020 (17) y 2019 (18). Dos tercios de los programas de la Australian National University han caído año tras año.
  • Con el respaldo de fuertes dotaciones, dos universidades de Singapur ocupan el primer lugar: la Nanyang Technological University está #1 para Ciencia de Materiales, mientras que la National University of Singapore – la universidad con mejor desempeño de Asia – está #1 para Ingeniería de Petróleo.
  • Por el contrario, la educación superior japonesa está en declive relativo después de décadas de infrafinanciación para estudiantes de investigación y doctorado.
  • El programa de Institutes of Eminence de la India está luchando por obtener resultados, sin aumento en la representación entre los 100 primeros para los Institutes of Eminence públicos de la India.
  • La educación superior rusa sigue avanzando de fuerza en fuerza, con un número récord de departamentos que alcanzan los 20 primeros lugares.
  • Impulsada por actuaciones de clase mundial en Odontología, Ingeniería de Petróleo e Ingeniería Minera, la Universidade de São Paulo (USP) ha mantenido su estatus como la universidad con mejor rendimiento de Latinoamérica en este ejercicio.
  • La University of Cape Town sigue siendo la institución más competitiva de África, con 24 de sus programas entre los 200 primeros.

Jack Moran, portavoz de QS, dijo: «Observar las tendencias de rendimiento en casi 14.000 departamentos universitarios nos permite sacar algunas conclusiones sobre los puntos en común entre las naciones que están mejorando y las naciones que no. Destacan tres factores. En primer lugar, una perspectiva internacional, tanto en términos de cuerpo docente como de relaciones de investigación, se correlaciona fuertemente con un mejor rendimiento. En segundo lugar, las universidades en ascenso han recibido fuertes inversiones específicas de los gobiernos durante una década o más, particularmente en China, Rusia y Singapur. En tercer lugar, la mejora de las relaciones con la industria está correlacionada con mejores resultados de empleo, investigación e innovación.»

NUEVA YORK, 03 March 2021 / PRN Africa / — La pérdida anual de bosques equivale a una superficie mayor que la Dinamarca y esta destrucción implica no sólo una merma enorme de biodiversidad en la Tierra, sino un freno menos al avance del cambio climático y la destrucción del sustento de millones de familias pobres en el mundo, recuerda la ONU este miércoles 3 de marzo, Día Mundial de la Vida Silvestre.

Los servicios del ecosistema boscoso y los recursos que proporciona, como el filtrado y el almacenamiento de agua dulce para garantizar la fertilidad de los suelos o para regular el clima, son esenciales para la economía mundial y para las personas en todo el mundo.

Este año, el Día Mundial llama la atención sobre el papel central de los bosques, las especies forestales y los ecosistemas en los medios de vida de cientos de millones de personas.

Prácticas indígenas

La jornada también reconoce y promueve las prácticas de manejo de los bosques y la vida silvestre que se adaptan tanto al bienestar humano como a la conservación a largo plazo de los bosques, como las que han llevado a cabo durante siglos numerosas comunidades indígenas.

En su mensaje para la jornada, el Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas pidió a todos los individuos y gobiernos del mundo que multipliquen los esfuerzos de protección de los bosques y apoyo a las comunidades forestales.

“Si lo hacemos, contribuiremos a lograr los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible para las personas, el planeta y la prosperidad de todos”, dijo António Guterres, destacando que los bosques ayudan a regular el clima, son hogar de alrededor del 80% de las especies silvestres terrestres y proveen un medio de vida para millones de hogares.

Las familias que de alguna manera dependen de los recursos forestales constituyen el 90% de las personas más pobres del mundo, algo especialmente cierto para las comunidades indígenas que viven en esos ecosistemas o cerca de ellos.

Custodios históricos

En esos casos, argumentó Guterres, además de proporcionarles un medio de vida, los bosques les dan “identidad cultural”.

Según los datos de la ONU, más de 800 millones de personas viven en bosques tropicales y sabanas en países en desarrollo. Las comunidades indígenas y rurales mantienen una relación particularmente estrecha con esos sistemas naturales.

Esos colectivos dependen de los bosques para satisfacer prácticamente todas sus necesidades esenciales, desde alimentos y refugio hasta energía y medicamentos, pero también mantienen una fuerte relación personal, cultural y espiritual con esos entornos, por lo que se han convertido en los custodios históricos de las reservas más importantes de diversidad biológica.

Pese a esto, la explotación insostenible de los bosques continúa y daña a esas comunidades, acelerando la pérdida de biodiversidad y la alteración del clima, agregó.

Uso insostenible

Al referirse a la creciente amenaza del uso insostenible de los recursos forestales y el tráfico de vida silvestre, Guterres apuntó que cada año el mundo pierde alrededor de 4,7 millones de hectáreas de bosques debido a la agricultura insostenible, el tráfico de madera, el crimen organizado y el comercio ilegal de especies de animales silvestres.

Subrayó que el comercio de animales silvestres es un delito que, además, aumenta el riesgo de enfermedades zoonóticas, como el COVID-19.

“En este Día Mundial de la Vida Silvestre, insto a los gobiernos, a las empresas y a las personas de todo el mundo a que intensifiquen sus esfuerzos por conservar los bosques y sus especies autóctonas y a que presten atención a las voces de las comunidades forestales y les den su apoyo”, enfatizó el Secretario General.

Conmemoración

La celebración de la jornada, que este año se realizó de forma virtual, estuvo a cargo de la Convención sobre el Comercio Internacional de Especies Amenazadas de Fauna y Flora Silvestre (CITES) e incluyó un festival de cine y un concurso mundial de arte juvenil en el que artistas jóvenes destacaron las múltiples crisis ambientales globales que enfrentan los ecosistemas forestales, la vida silvestre y los seres humanos, desde el cambio climático hasta la pérdida de biodiversidad.

La secretaria general de la CITES, Ivonne Higuero, explicó que el objetivo del evento fue dar voz a las comunidades indígenas que viven en los bosques, compartiendo sus conocimientos y experiencias de conservación forestal para inspirar el establecimiento de modelos de interacción verdaderamente sostenibles con los ecosistemas y la vida silvestre del planeta.

Por su parte, el ministro de Agricultura y Riego de Perú, Federico Tenorio Calderón, afirmó que la vida silvestre puede generar los medios de vidas de las comunidades que comparten sus hábitats siempre y cuando se utilice de manera sostenible, como lo han demostrado muchos colectivos indígenas a través de la historia.

La jornada mundial

El Día Mundial de la Vida Silvestre, conmemorado cada 3 de marzo, fue establecido en 2013 por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, para celebrar y crear conciencia sobre la importancia de la flora y la fauna del mundo.

La fecha también marca el día en que se adoptó la Convención sobre el Comercio Internacional de Especies Amenazadas de Fauna y Flora Silvestres (CITES) en 1973.
