CALGARY, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) today announced that it has agreed with Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (TSX: KML) ("KML") to amend and restate the previously announced arrangement agreement dated August 20, 2019 (the "Arrangement Agreement") to include the preferred shares of KML in the arrangement transaction pursuant to which Pembina will acquire KML (the "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 one 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 percent 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.
Further information regarding the 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 Transaction will be filed under Pembina's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.pembina.com.
