Pembina Pipeline Corporation Provides Notice of Series 7 Preferred Share Conversion Right and Announces Reset Dividend Rates

CALGARY, Nov. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") (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 7 ("Series 7 Shares") (TSX: PPL.PR.G) on December 2, 2019 (the "Conversion Date"). As a result, and subject to certain terms of the Series 7 Shares, the holders of the Series 7 Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or any of their Series 7 Shares into Cumulative Redeemable Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares, Series 8 of Pembina ("Series 8 Shares") on the basis of one Series 8 Share for each Series 7 Share on the Conversion Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Series 7 Shares, as December 1, 2019, the conversion date for the Series 7 Shares, is not a business day, the actual conversion date will be the next succeeding business day, December 2, 2019. With respect to any Series 7 Shares that remain outstanding after December 2, 2019, 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 7 Shares for the five-year period from and including December 1, 2019 to, but excluding, December 1, 2024 will be 4.38%, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 1.44% determined as of today plus 2.94%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 7 Shares. With respect to any Series 8 Shares that may be issued on December 2, 2019, 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 for the 3-month floating rate period from and including December 1, 2019 to, but excluding, March 1, 2020 will be 4.602%, being equal to the annual rate of interest for the most recent auction of 90-day Government of Canada treasury bills of 1.662% plus 2.94%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 8 Shares (the "Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate"). The Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate will be reset every quarter. As provided in the terms of the Series 7 Shares: (i) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 7 Shares, all remaining Series 7 Shares will be converted automatically into Series 8 Shares on a one-for-one basis effective December 2, 2019; or (ii) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 8 Shares, holders of Series 7 Shares will not be entitled to convert their Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares on the Conversion Date. There are currently 10,000,000 Series 7 Shares outstanding. The Series 7 Shares are issued in "book entry only" form and, as such, the sole registered holder of the Series 7 Shares is the Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited ("CDS"). All rights of holders of Series 7 Shares must be exercised through CDS or the CDS participant through which the Series 7 Shares are held. The deadline for the registered shareholder (CDS) to provide notice of exercise of the right to convert Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares is 3:00 p.m. (MT) / 5:00 p.m. (ET) on November 15, 2019. Any notices received after this deadline will not be valid. As such, holders of Series 7 Shares who wish to exercise their right to convert their Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares should contact their broker or other intermediary for more information and 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. If Pembina does not receive an election notice from CDS during the time fixed therefor, then the Series 7 Shares shall be deemed not to have been converted (except in the case of an automatic conversion). Holders of Series 7 Shares will have an opportunity to convert their shares again on December 1, 2024, and every five years thereafter as long as the shares remain outstanding. As previously announced, the dividend payable on December 2, 2019 to holders of the Series 7 Shares of record on November 1, 2019 will be $0.281250 per Series 7 Share, consistent with the dividend rate in effect since issuance of the Series 7 Shares.
