CALGARY, Alberta, May 7, 2020 /CNW/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation
("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today
that its Board of Directors declared a common share cash dividend
for May 2020 of $0.21 per share
to be paid, subject to applicable law, on June 15, 2020 to shareholders of record on
May 25, 2020. This dividend is
designated an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends
should be considered "qualified dividends" and may be subject to
Canadian withholding tax.
For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S.

rate of 0.7080. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the
Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be
subject to applicable withholding taxes.

dollars on a monthly basis to shareholders of record on the
25th calendar day of each month (except for the December

Directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or a statutory
holiday, the effective record date will be the previous business
