As quoted in the market report:

In all, the company, scheduled to open the TSX for trading on Monday, has raised $1.626-billion of equity and has placed US$500-million of convertible debentures. Its largest shareholder is Paulson & Co. The U.S. hedge fund has been a shareholder since 2009. The fund also bought half of the convertible notes that were issued in late 2010. Those notes that have a seven-year term come with a 5.50% coupon.
