Pembina Mails Joint Information Circular, Urges Shareholders to Approve Proposed Strategic Combination with Inter Pipeline at Upcoming Special Meeting

CALGARY, AB, July 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") (TSX: PPL) (NYSE: PBA) today announced that it has filed a joint information circular (the "Joint Circular") and related materials for its special virtual-only meeting of shareholders to be held on July 29, 2021 (the "Special Meeting") in connection with the proposed strategic combination with Inter Pipeline Ltd. ("Inter Pipeline") (TSX: IPL), which has been unanimously recommended by the Boards of Directors of both companies.

The Transaction

On May 31, 2021, Pembina and Inter Pipeline entered into an agreement (the "Strategic Combination") to create one of the largest and best positioned energy infrastructure companies in Canada. Together the companies' diversified and integrated asset base can support and grow an extensive value chain for natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil, from wellhead to end user, that far exceeds anything either company can do separately.

Under the Strategic Combination, Inter Pipeline shareholders will receive 0.5 of a common share of Pembina for each common share of Inter Pipeline. This represents immediate value of $20.06 per share based on the closing price of Pembina's common shares on June 25, 2021, as detailed in the Joint Circular.

Once completed, the highly complementary asset base is expected to lead to opportunities for significant expansion, customer benefits, material efficiencies and ultimately enhanced value for the combined companies' shareholders. With Pembina and Inter Pipeline shareholders expected to own 72% and 28%, respectively, of the combined company, the significant benefits of the Strategic Combination outlined below will accrue to the shareholders of both companies.

Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "This is a singular moment and opportunity for Pembina and Inter Pipeline. Our combined companies' impressive portfolio of growth opportunities will allow us to continue to build on our joint position as one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in Canada and a foundation for the economy of Western Canada. Together, we have a choice to create a stronger entity capable of proudly delivering the energy that the world needs, where it needs it, while simultaneously creating a better future for all Canadians through job creation, environmental stewardship, and respectful, mutually-beneficial relationships with local and Indigenous communities. On behalf of myself and our Board, I urge Pembina shareholders to support this transformative combination by voting yes at the Special Meeting."

Significant benefits of Pembina's Strategic Combination with Inter Pipeline include:

• Premium valuation for Inter Pipeline shares surfaced through a comprehensive strategic review process overseen by a special committee of the independent directors of Inter Pipeline
• Planned 4.8% increase to Pembina's common share dividend upon closing, with an additional equivalent planned increase upon Heartland Petrochemical Complex going into service in 2022
• Immediate 175% dividend increase for Inter Pipeline shareholders
• Tax-free rollover expected for taxable Canadian Inter Pipeline shareholders More than $7 billion of potential growth opportunities and related job creation including:
• Newly announced partnerships with First Nations to develop Cedar LNG and to pursue ownership of Trans Mountain Pipeline and Expansion
• Partnering with TC Energy to jointly develop the Alberta Carbon Grid, a world-scale carbon transportation and sequestration system
• Meaningful business synergies
• Ownership of a large-cap, highly liquid security
