As a result of the decision not to redeem the Series 7 Shares,
and subject to certain terms of the Series 7 Shares, the holders of
the Series 7 Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or
part of their Series 7 Shares on a one-for-one basis into
Cumulative Redeemable Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares,
Series 8 of Pembina ("Series 8 Shares") on December 1, 2024 (the
"Conversion Date"). Holders who do not exercise their right to
convert their Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares will retain
their Series 7 Shares.
As provided in the terms of the Series 7 Shares: (i) if Pembina
determines that there would remain outstanding immediately
following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 7 Shares, then
all remaining Series 7 Shares will be automatically converted into
Series 8 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 8 Shares outstanding immediately
following the conversion, no Series 7 Shares will be converted into
Series 8 Shares on the Conversion Date. There are currently
10,000,000 Series 7 Shares outstanding.
With respect to any Series 7 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 7 Shares for the five-year
period from and including December 1, 2024, to, but excluding,
December 1, 2029, will be 5.953 percent, being equal to the
five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 3.013 percent
determined as of today plus 2.94 percent, in accordance with the
terms of the Series 7 Shares.
With respect to any Series 8 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 8 Shares for the
three-month floating rate period from and including December 1,
2024, to, but excluding, March 1, 2025, will be 6.583 percent,
being equal to the annual rate of interest for the most recent
auction of 90-day Government of Canada treasury bills of 3.643
percent plus 2.94 percent, in accordance with the terms of the
Series 8 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 7 Shares who wish to exercise their
right of conversion during the conversion period, which runs from
November 1, 2024, until 3:00 pm (MT) / 5:00 pm (ET) on November 18,
2024, 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 December 1,
2024, to holders of the Series 7 Shares of record on November 1,
2024, will be $0.273750 per Series 7 Share. Pursuant to the terms
of the Series 7 Shares, as December 1, 2024, is not a business day,
payment will occur on December 2, 2024. For more information on the
terms of the Series 7 Shares and the Series 8 Shares, please see
the prospectus supplement dated September 4, 2014, which can be
