Inter Pipeline responds to Brookfield’s unsolicited bid

The company confirms that it previously received unsolicited, non-binding and conditional proposals from Brookfield in the range of US$17.00 to US$18.25 per share (the ‘conditional proposals’). Upon receipt of the conditional proposals, consistent with its fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of all shareholders, the company's Board of Directors engaged legal and financial advisors to assist the company in assessing the conditional proposals. In response, based on a comprehensive assessment of the conditional proposals, the Board informed Brookfield that they did not reflect the intrinsic value of the company and were not sufficiently pre-emptive to grant Brookfield exclusivity.

The Board reminds shareholders that no formal offer has been made by Brookfield, and as such there is no need for shareholders to take any action at this time. When a formal offer is made, it will be reviewed by the Board with its legal and financial advisors, and a formal recommendation by the Board will be made to shareholders in due course.
