CALGARY, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina
Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE:
PBA) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a common
share cash dividend for April 2018 of
$0.18 per share to be paid, subject
to applicable law, on May 15, 2018 to
shareholders of record on April 25,
2018. This dividend is designated an "eligible dividend" for
Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders,
Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified
dividends" and may be subject to Canadian withholding tax.
For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S.
funds, the April 2018 cash dividend
is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1394 per share (before deduction of any
applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange
rate of 0.7747. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the
Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be
subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Pembina pays cash dividends on its common shares in Canadian
dollars monthly to shareholders of record on the 25th calendar day
of each month (except for the December record date, which is
December 31st), if, as and when
determined by the Board of Directors. Should the record date fall
on a weekend or a statutory holiday, the effective record date will
be the previous business day. The dividend payment date is the 15th
of the month following the record date. Should the payment date
fall on a weekend or on a holiday the business day prior to the
weekend or holiday becomes the payment date.
Pembina's Board of Directors also declared quarterly dividends
for the Company's preferred shares, Series 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13,
15, 17, 19 and 21. Series 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 21 preferred
