CALGARY, Feb. 5, 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 February 2020 of $0.21 per share to be paid, subject to applicable
law, on March 13, 2020 to
shareholders of record on February 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

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
