Three dated capital events

On September 2, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Desjardins set a CAD 320.00 price target and a Buy rating. The September 23, 2026 note placement was the latest of the three events.
What does the note placement change?
The notes carry a fixed 4.67 percent interest rate until October 1, 2031, then pay the daily compounded CORRA rate plus 1.16 percent until October 1, 2036, according to Zonebourse. The scheduled October 1, 2026 closing date means the transaction adds funding capacity while keeping the stated proceeds for general bank purposes.
