Pembina Pipeline Corporation Announces Redemption of Series C and E Convertible Debentures

CALGARY, Aug. 27, 2015 /CNW/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it has issued notices of redemption to holders of its Series C 5.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Series C Debentures") and its Series E 5.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Series E Debentures" and together with the Series C Debentures, the "Debentures") pursuant to which Pembina will redeem the entire outstanding principal amount of the Debentures on October 13, 2015 (the "Redemption Date"). As at the date hereof $229,828,000 aggregate principal amount of Series C Debentures and $21,693,000 aggregate principal amount of Series E Debentures remain outstanding.

The Debentures will be redeemed on the Redemption Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest from June 30, 2015 to but excluding the Redemption Date, less any applicable tax withholdings. In each case, subject to regulatory approval, Pembina intends to satisfy the redemption price through the issuance of common shares in the capital of Pembina ("Common Shares").

The number of Common Shares to be issued will be calculated on the Redemption Date by dividing the outstanding principal amount of each series of Debentures by 95% of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on October 5, 2015. Any accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures will be paid in cash and cash will also be paid in lieu of any fractional Common Shares that would otherwise be issued. Subject to prior regulatory approval, Pembina intends to have the Debentures de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange following their redemption.

Holders of Debentures remain entitled to convert their Debentures at the current conversion price of $28.55 for the Series C Debentures and $24.94 for the Series E Debentures at any time up to the close of business on October 9, 2015. Holders should contact their broker, or other professional advisors, to determine the best course of action having regard to their particular circumstances.

In the circumstance where a holder's Debentures are held through a broker, the broker should be contacted immediately as the process for exercising the conversion privilege is also subject to the rules and procedures of the broker and of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. Holders of Debentures should also be aware that the applicable timing and deadlines for conversion may vary from broker to broker. All holders of the Debentures who fail to deliver a notice of conversion on or prior to October 9, 2015 (or such earlier time as may be required by their broker) shall have their Debentures redeemed on the Redemption Date pursuant to the calculation set out above.
