CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Oct. 5, 2016) – Inter Pipeline Ltd. (“Inter Pipeline”) (TSX:IPL) announced today the declaration of a cash dividend of $0.13 per share for October 2016. This dividend will be paid on or about November 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on October 21, 2016. This dividend is designated as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian tax purposes.
Effective with the October dividend, Inter Pipeline has re-instated the premium component of its Premium Dividend™ and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“Plan”). Currently, eligible shareholders enrolled in the regular dividend reinvestment component of the Plan have their dividends reinvested in additional common shares issued from treasury at the Average Market Price (as defined in the Plan) on the applicable dividend payment date. There are no changes to this regular dividend reinvestment component of the Plan.
With the reinstatement of the premium component of the Plan, additional common shares will be issued from treasury at a 3% discount to the Average Market Price on the applicable dividend payment date. Eligible shareholders will have the option of electing to have these additional common shares delivered to the designated Plan Broker in exchange for a premium cash payment equal to 101% of the regular declared cash dividend that is reinvested on their behalf. Canaccord Genuity Corp. is the Plan Broker for the premium component of the Plan.
Participation in the regular dividend reinvestment component or premium component of the Plan is optional. Shareholders who choose not to enroll in either component will continue to receive regular cash dividends. Eligible shareholders wishing to enroll in the Plan, or to change their enrollment to participate in the premium component, should contact their broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee to confirm enrollment procedures and timelines.
A complete copy of the Plan, including eligibility requirements, is available on Inter Pipeline’s website at www.interpipeline.com. Shareholders should carefully read the complete text of the Plan before making any enrollment decisions.
Since inception, Inter Pipeline has distributed approximately $3.7 billion in cash payments to investors. Inter Pipeline’s objective is to provide investors with sustainable monthly cash dividends, with dividend growth upside tied to the development of Inter Pipeline’s portfolio of growth projects.
