Pembina Pipeline Corporation Announces April 2013 Dividend and Availability of Dividend Reinvestment Plan to U.S. Shareholders
CALGARY, April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL) (NYSE: PBA) announces the availability of its Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") to U.S. shareholders effective immediately.
The DRIP provides a convenient and cost-effective way for Pembina shareholders to increase their investment in Pembina without incurring commissions, service charges or similar fees in connection with the purchase of new common shares from treasury (subject to any fees that may be charged by the broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee through which you hold your shares). The new common shares purchased with reinvested dividends will be issued from Pembina's treasury at a 5% discount to the average market price (calculated under the DRIP). Subject to the policies of the broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee through whom the shares are held, full investment of reinvested funds is possible since fractions of shares can be credited to accounts maintained under the Plan.
U.S. shareholders are only permitted to participate in the dividend reinvestment component of Pembina's Premium Dividend™ and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Only Canadian resident shareholders are currently permitted to participate in the Premium Dividend™ component of the plan.
A copy of the prospectus relating to the DRIP, which has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a Registration Statement on Form F-3, may be obtained by contacting Investor Relations at Pembina at 1-855-880-7404.
