Pembina Pipeline Corporation has announced that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem the currently outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Minimum Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 21 on 1 March 2023.

As a result of the decision not to redeem the Series 21 Shares, and subject to certain terms of the Series 21 Shares, the holders of the Series 21 Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or part of their Series 21 Shares on a one-for-one basis into Cumulative Redeemable Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares, Series 22 of Pembina on 1 March 2023 (the conversion date). Holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series 21 Shares into Series 22 Shares will retain their Series 21 Shares.

As provided in the terms of the Series 21 Shares: (i) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1 000 000 Series 21 Shares, then all remaining Series 21 Shares will be automatically converted into Series 22 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 22 Shares outstanding immediately following the conversion, no Series 21 Shares will be converted into Series 22 Shares on the conversion date. There are currently 16 000 000 Series 21 Shares outstanding.

With respect to any Series 21 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 21 Shares for the five-year period from and including 1 March 2023, to, but excluding, 1 March 2028, will be 6.302%, being equal to the five-year government of Canada bond yield of 3.042% determined recently plus 3.26%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 21 Shares.

With respect to any Series 22 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 22 Shares for the three-month floating rate period from and including 1 March 2023, to, but excluding, 1 June 2023, will be 7.706%, being equal to the annual rate of interest for the most recent auction of 90-day government of Canada treasury bills of 4.446% plus 3.26%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 22 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 21 Shares who wish to exercise their right of conversion during the conversion period, which runs from 30 January 2023, until 3:00 pm MT / 5:00 pm ET on 14 February 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 1 March 2023, to holders of the Series 21 Shares of record on 1 February 2023, will be US$0.30625 per Series 21 Share, consistent with the dividend rate in effect since the issuance of the Series 21 Shares.
