HOUSTON, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectra Energy
Partners, LP (NYSE: SEP) announced that the board of directors of
its general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution to
unitholders of $0.62625 per unit, an
increase of 1.25 cents over the
previous level of $0.61375 per unit.
This is the 32nd consecutive quarter that Spectra Energy Partners
has increased its quarterly cash distribution. The cash
distribution is payable on November 25,
2015, to unitholders of record at the close of business on
October 29, 2015. This quarterly cash
distribution equates to $2.505 per
unit on an annual basis.
This information is intended to be a qualified notice under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b). Under rules applicable to
publicly-traded partnerships, our distributions to non-U.S.
unitholders are subject to withholding tax at the highest effective
applicable rate to the extent attributable to income that is
effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.
Given the uncertainty at the time of making distributions regarding
the amount of any distribution that is attributable to income that
is so effectively connected, we intend to treat all of our
distributions as attributable to our U.S. operations, and as a
result, the entire distribution will be subject to withholding.
