Enerplus Announces Cash Dividend for January 2015

CALGARY, Dec. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - Enerplus Corporation ("Enerplus") (TSX: ERF) (NYSE: ERF) announces that a cash dividend in the amount of CDN$0.09 per share will be payable on January 15, 2015 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2014. The ex-dividend date for this payment is December 29, 2014.

The CDN$0.09 per share dividend is equivalent to approximately US$0.08 per share if converted using the current Canadian/US dollar exchange rate of 0.8599. The U.S. dollar equivalent dividend will be based upon the actual Canadian/US exchange rate applied on the payment date and will be net of any Canadian withholding taxes that may be applicable.

Dividends paid by Enerplus are considered an "eligible dividend" for Canadian tax purposes. For U.S. income tax purposes, Enerplus' dividends are considered "qualified dividends".
