Pembina Pipeline Corporation Provides Notice of Series 1 Preferred Share Conversion Right and Announces Reset Dividend Rates

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem the currently outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 1 ("Series 1 Shares") (TSX: PPL.PR.A) on December 1, 2023.

As a result of the decision not to redeem the Series 1 Shares, and subject to certain terms of the Series 1 Shares, the holders of the Series 1 Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or part of their Series 1 Shares on a one-for-one basis into Cumulative Redeemable Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares, Series 2 of Pembina ("Series 2 Shares") on December 1, 2023 (the "Conversion Date"). Holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series 1 Shares into Series 2 Shares will retain their Series 1 Shares.

As provided in the terms of the Series 1 Shares: (i) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 1 Shares, then all remaining Series 1 Shares will be automatically converted into Series 2 Shares on a one-for-one basis effective as of the Conversion Date; or (ii) if Pembina determines that there would be less than 1,000,000 Series 2 Shares outstanding immediately following the conversion, no Series 1 Shares will be converted into Series 2 Shares on the Conversion Date. There are currently 10,000,000 Series 1 Shares outstanding.

With respect to any Series 1 Shares that remain outstanding after the Conversion Date, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the Series 1 Shares for the five-year period from and including December 1, 2023, to, but excluding, December 1, 2028, will be 6.525 percent, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 4.055 percent determined as of today plus 2.47 percent, in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Shares.

With respect to any Series 2 Shares that may be issued on the Conversion Date, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate applicable to the Series 2 Shares for the three-month floating rate period from and including December 1, 2023, to, but excluding, March 1, 2024, will be 7.631 percent, being equal to the annual rate of interest for the most recent auction of 90-day Government of Canada treasury bills of 5.161 percent plus 2.47 percent, in accordance with the terms of the Series 2 Shares (the "Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate"). The Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate will be reset on the first day of March, June, September and December in each year.

Beneficial holders of Series 1 Shares who wish to exercise their right of conversion during the conversion period, which runs from November 1, 2023, until 3:00 pm (MT) / 5:00 pm (ET) on November 16, 2023, should communicate as soon as possible with their broker or other intermediary for more information. It is recommended that this be done well in advance of the deadline in order to provide the broker or other intermediary with the time to complete the necessary steps. Any notices received after this deadline will not be valid.

As previously announced, the dividend payable on December 1, 2023, to holders of the Series 1 Shares of record on November 1, 2023, will be $0.306625 per Series 1 Share. For more information on the terms of the Series 1 Shares and the Series 2 Shares, please see the prospectus supplement dated July 19, 2013, which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.
