Pembina and KML Agree to Amend Arrangement to Include Preferred Shareholders

KML Preferred Shares will be Exchangeable for Preferred Shares of Pembina
Not a Condition to Closing; Previously Disclosed Transaction Otherwise Unchanged

CALGARY, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - The Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (TSX: KML) board of directors today announced that it has agreed with Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) (Pembina) to amend and restate the previously announced arrangement agreement dated August 20, 2019 to include the preferred shares of KML in the arrangement transaction. If requisite approval by the holders of KML preferred shares is obtained, upon closing of the transaction, each outstanding KML preferred share of a series will be exchanged for a preferred share of Pembina with the same commercial terms and conditions as that series of KML preferred shares.  The inclusion of KML preferred shares in the transaction is subject to approval by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by holders of KML preferred shares, voting together as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting of the holders of KML preferred shares to be held to approve the transaction, but is not a condition to closing of the transaction. If KML preferred shareholders do not approve the transaction but all other conditions to closing are satisfied or waived by the applicable party, the KML preferred shares will remain outstanding as shares in the capital of KML, which will be part of the Pembina group following completion of the transaction.  None of the other terms of the transaction or the recommendations of the KML special committee or the board of directors of KML have changed from the descriptions included in KML's press release dated August 21, 2019 or its material change report filed on SEDAR or Form 8-K filed on EDGAR on August 23, 2019.

The board of directors of KML has unanimously approved the amendments to the proposed transaction and recommends that holders of KML preferred shares vote in favour of the arrangement. This recommendation is based, in part, on the recommendation of the KML special committee, which reviewed and considered the terms of the amended transaction.  The KML special committee also has received an opinion from BMO Capital Markets as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration to be received by KML preferred shareholders in the transaction, based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth in such opinion.

Further information regarding the proposed transaction will be contained in a proxy statement of KML that it will prepare, file and mail to its shareholders in due course in connection with KML voting and preferred special shareholders meetings.

A copy of the amended and restated arrangement agreement with respect to the proposed transaction will be filed on the SEC's EDGAR system at www.sec.gov, under KML's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on KML's website at ir.kindermorgancanadalimited.com.
