CALGARY, AB, Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pembina Pipeline
Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL) (NYSE: PBA)
announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a common
share cash dividend for November 2021
of $0.21 per share to be paid,
subject to applicable law, on December 15,
2021 to shareholders of record on November 24, 2021. The common share dividends are
designated "eligible dividends" 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.
funds, the November 2021 cash
dividend is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1691 per share (before deduction of any
applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange
rate of 0.8053. 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.

Pembina pays cash dividends on its common shares in Canadian
dollars on a monthly basis to shareholders of record on the
25th calendar day of each month (except for the December
record date, which is December
31st), if, as and when determined by the Board of
Directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or a statutory
holiday, the effective record date will be the previous business
day. The dividend payment date is the 15th calendar day
of the month following the record date. Should the payment date
fall on a weekend or on a statutory holiday, the business day prior
