Pembina Pipeline Corporation Announces Successful Completion of Consent and Proxy Solicitation for 4.80% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1

BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced solicitation of written consents and proxies (the "Solicitation") from holders (the "Series 1 Noteholders") of Pembina's 4.80% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1 due January 25, 2081 (the "Series 1 Notes"). The Solicitation received strong support and the Extraordinary Resolution (as defined below) was approved by Series 1 Noteholders. As previously announced, pursuant to the Solicitation, the Series 1 Noteholders were asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass an extraordinary resolution (the "Extraordinary Resolution") to approve certain proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the indenture dated January 25, 2021 (the "Series 1 Note Indenture") between Pembina, as issuer, and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee (the "Trustee"), and to authorize Pembina, at its option, and the Trustee to enter into a supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture"), pursuant to which the Proposed Amendments will be implemented. The Proposed Amendments provide for, among other things, the exchange of all of the outstanding Series 1 Notes for an equal principal amount of 4.80% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 3 of the Company due January 25, 2081 (the "Series 3 Notes"). The deadline for the submission of written consents by Series 1 Noteholders expired at 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on July 22, 2025 (the "Written Consent Deadline"). In order to pass, the Extraordinary Resolution required the written consent of the registered holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Series 1 Notes. As at the Written Consent Deadline, Series 1 Noteholders representing in excess of 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Series 1 Notes consented to the Extraordinary Resolution. As a result, Pembina and the Trustee will promptly execute the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Proposed Amendments will become effective and all of the outstanding Series 1 Notes will be exchanged for an equal principal amount of Series 3 Notes. As a result of the Extraordinary Resolution being passed by written consent of the Series 1 Noteholders prior to the Written Consent Deadline, the meeting of the Series 1 Noteholders that was previously scheduled for 12:15 p.m. (Calgary time) on July 28, 2025 is cancelled.
