The Corporation is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this
prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Pembinas financial statements included or incorporated herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. The ability of
prospective investors to enforce civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada, that some or all of its officers and directors may be
residents of Canada, that some or all of the experts named in this prospectus may be residents of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of the Corporations assets and the assets of said persons are located outside the United States.
Prospective investors should be aware that the purchase of Securities may have tax consequences, both in the United States and Canada, which may
not be fully described herein or in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion, if any, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and consult with an independent tax advisor.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE SEC) OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
The specific terms of the Securities with respect to a particular offering will be set out in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement and may include, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the issue price and currency (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner in which the

particular series, the number of Preferred Shares offered, the offering price or the manner of determining the offering price, the currency in which the Preferred Shares are offered, any voting rights, the dividend rate, the dividend payment dates,

terms pertaining to the Securities which are not within the options and parameters set forth in this prospectus.
All shelf information permitted under
applicable laws to be omitted from this prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to prospective purchasers together with this prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to be incorporated
by reference into this prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the offering of Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.
Securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any related Prospectus Supplement will constitute a public offering of such Securities only in those
jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such Securities. Pembina may sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell the Securities
directly to one or more purchasers pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions or through agents. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged
by Pembina in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the method of distribution of such Securities, the proceeds to Pembina and any fees, discounts or any
other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or fixed prices, or at non-fixed prices. If
offered on a non-fixed price basis, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers at the time of sale, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of
distribution. If Securities are offered on a non-fixed price basis, the underwriters compensation will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by the purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross
proceeds paid by the underwriters to Pembina. See
Plan of Distribution
.

particular offering of Securities, in connection with any offering of Securities, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix or stabilize the market price of the Common Shares at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See
Plan of Distribution

NON-GAAP MEASURES
The documents incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus contain references to the terms net revenue, adjusted EBITDA
(adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities
per common share, operating margin, and total enterprise value. These terms are considered Non-GAAP Financial Measures and do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, they may
not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures presented by other issuers and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
These terms have the meanings as set out in the Annual MD&A which is incorporated by reference herein. The specific rationale for, and incremental
information associated with each Non-GAAP Financial Measure, including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, are also discussed therein.

- 9 -
the information contained in the registration statement, certain items of which are contained in the exhibits to the registration statement as permitted by the rules and regulations of the

. Statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus about the contents of any contract, agreement or other documents referred to are not necessarily
complete, and in each instance, readers should refer to the exhibits for a complete description of the matter involved. Each time the Corporation sells Securities under the registration statement, it will provide a Prospectus Supplement that will
contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The Prospectus Supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Pembina is a corporation formed under, and governed by, the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, and its principal place of business is in Canada.
Substantially all of its directors and officers and the experts named in this prospectus are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets and Pembinas assets are located
outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors in the United States to effect service of process within the United States upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States or to enforce
against them judgments of United States courts based upon civil liability under the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States.
Pembina has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in
Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws. Pembina filed with the SEC, concurrently with the registration statement on Form F-10 of which this prospectus forms a part, an
appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, Pembina appointed DL Services Inc., Columbia Center, 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 6100, Seattle, Washington 98104, telephone (206) 903-8800, as its agent for service of
process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving Pembina in a United States court arising out of or related to or
concerning the offering of Securities under the registration statement.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Veresen Arrangement
On May 1, 2017, Pembina
entered into an arrangement agreement with Veresen, pursuant to which Pembina proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares and preferred shares in the capital of Veresen by way of a plan of arrangement under the ABCA. For a
full description of the Arrangement, see the MCR and Pro Forma Financials incorporated by reference herein.
On July 11, 2017, the Veresen common and
preferred shareholders approved the Arrangement. On July 12, 2017, the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta similarly approved the Arrangement. Closing of the Arrangement remains
- 16 -
subject to additional conditions, including approval under the
Competition Act
(Canada) and other customary closing conditions.
Veresen is a publicly traded corporation based in Calgary, Alberta, that owns and operates energy infrastructure assets across North America. Veresen is
engaged in two principal businesses:
|
(a)
|
a pipeline transportation business comprised of interests in three pipeline systems, a 50% interest in the Alliance Pipeline, a 50% convertible preferred interest in the Ruby Pipeline and a 100% interest in AEGS; and
|
|
(b)
|
a midstream business comprised of a partnership interest (47% as of March 31, 2017) in Veresen Midstream, which owns assets in western Canada (including gas gathering pipelines, compression and gas processing plants in
northeastern Alberta and northwestern British Columbia serving Montney region), and an ownership interest in Aux Sable (approximately 42.7% in Aux Sable US and 50% in Aux Sable Canada), which owns a world-class NGL extraction facility near Chicago
and other natural gas and NGL processing facilities, logistics and distribution assets in the U.S. and Canada, as well as transportation contracts on the Alliance Pipeline.
|
Veresen is also actively developing a number of projects including the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal proposed to be constructed in Coos Bay, Oregon, and the
Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline proposed to originate in Malin, Oregon and terminate at the related Jordan Cove LNG export terminal, and the ethane storage facility currently under construction near Burstall, Saskatchewan.
Board of Directors
On May 8, 2017, following its
annual meeting of shareholders, Pembina announced that Mr. Grant Billing did not stand for re-election as a director of the Corporation and that Mr. Bruce D. Rubin had been appointed to the Pembina Board of Directors, effective
May 5, 2017.
Capital Projects
On
May 15, 2017, Pembina announced that it and Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. of Kuwait had executed 50/50 joint venture agreements for the previously announced proposed integrated propylene and
polypropylene production facility in
Sturgeon County, Alberta (the
Project
), which include binding terms in support of the Project and have formed a new entity, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation (
CKPC
). Additionally, Pembina announced that
CKPC will proceed with activities for front end engineering design for the Project.
On July 4, 2017, Pembina announced that it had placed
approximately $2.8 billion of integrated capital projects into service, including its Phase III pipeline expansion and two connected major delivery points; the Corporations third fractionator at Redwater and its Canadian Diluent Hub
(
CDH
).
The Phase III Expansion, which is underpinned by long-term contracts with take-or-pay commitments, was placed into service
on June 30, 2017 on time and under budget. The entire Phase III Expansion program, which was initiated in 2013, included installing over 900 kilometres (
km
) of new pipeline primarily along the Companys
existing Peace and Northern system rights-of-way, as well as upgrading and adding new mainline pump stations. Initial work for the Phase III Expansion included debottlenecking segments of existing pipeline systems from Taylor, British Columbia
to Gordondale, Alberta and adding a new pipeline from Wapiti to Fox Creek, Alberta to accommodate increased volumes upstream of Pembinas Fox Creek tie-in point. In support of handling the increased product, 420,000 barrels per day
(
bpd
) of incremental capacity was added in the Fox Creek to Namao corridor of Alberta through the construction of two pipelines: a 16 inch and a 24 inch diameter pipeline, each spanning approximately 290 km. With
the Phase III Expansion now complete, Pembina has four pipelines between Fox Creek and Namao, allowing the Company to transport four distinct hydrocarbons ethane-plus, propane-plus, condensate and crude oil each in its own
segregated pipeline, plus upstream capacity to handle higher volumes driven by the development of the Montney, Duvernay and Deep Basin resource plays.
- 17 -
In conjunction with the Phase III Expansion, RFS III was also placed into service on June 30,
2017, ahead of schedule and under budget. Backstopped by long-term, take-or-pay contracts, RFS III added 55,000 bpd of additional propane-plus fractionation capacity and leveraged the designs of Pembinas first and second fractionators.
Pembinas Redwater complex now has an aggregate fractionation capacity of approximately 210,000 bpd.
Also aligned with the in-service of the
Phase III Expansion and RFS III, on June 30, 2017, Pembina placed additional condensate connections at CDH into service on time and under budget. CDH, which operates commercially as a fee-based hub, provides direct connectivity for
growing condensate volumes transported on Pembinas pipeline systems and offers diluent services for oil sands customers. Currently, the facilitys pipelines are capable of delivering approximately 400,000 bpd of condensate to
regional third-party diluent pipelines, with connections to the Access, Cold Lake, Fort Saskatchewan (FSPL) and Polaris pipelines. By the end of 2017, CDH is also expected to have additional third-party connections as well as 500,000 barrels of
above ground storage in operation.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Each Prospectus Supplement will contain specific information concerning the use of proceeds from that sale of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in a
Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, the Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities to complete direct or indirect asset and corporate acquisitions, to directly or indirectly finance
future growth opportunities, to repay indebtedness, to finance the Corporations ongoing capital program, and for other general corporate purposes. The amount of net proceeds to be used for any such purposes will be set forth in a Prospectus
Supplement. The Corporation may invest funds which it does not immediately use. Such investments may include short-term marketable investment grade securities. The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including debt securities)
other than pursuant to this prospectus.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES, PREFERRED SHARES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
OF PEMBINA
The authorized capital of Pembina consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares, a number of Class A Preferred Shares,
issuable in series, not to exceed twenty percent of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of issuance of any Class A Preferred Shares, and an unlimited number of Class B Preferred Shares which are deemed to be redeemed
if a holder ceases to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the
Internal Preferred Shares
). As of July 26, 2017, there were 402,924,051 Common Shares
outstanding, 14,979,336 Common Shares issuable
pursuant to outstanding Options under the Option Plan, and 3,248,747 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Series F Convertible Debentures. In addition,
10,000,000 Series 1 Class A Preferred Shares outstanding,
6,000,000 Series 3 Class A Preferred Shares outstanding, 10,000,000 Series 5 Class A Preferred Shares outstanding, 10,000,000 Series 7 Class A Preferred Shares outstanding, 9,000,000 Series 9 Class A Preferred Shares outstanding,
6,800,000 Series 11 Class A Preferred Shares outstanding, and 10,000,000 Series 13 Class A Preferred Shares were outstanding as of July 26, 2017. No Internal Preferred Shares are outstanding.
The following is a summary of the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Common Shares, the Class A Preferred Shares, and the
Internal Preferred Shares.
Common Shares
Holders of
Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of shareholders of Pembina and to one vote at such meetings for each Common Share held. The holders of the Common Shares are, at the discretion of the Board and subject to
applicable legal restrictions, entitled to receive any dividends
- 18 -
declared by the Board on the Common Shares, and are entitled to share in the remaining property of Pembina upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to the rights of the Internal
Preferred Shares, described below.
Pembina has a shareholder rights plan (the
Plan
) that was adopted to ensure, to the extent
possible, that all Shareholders are treated fairly in connection with any take-over bid for Pembina and to ensure the Board is
provided with sufficient time to evaluate unsolicited take-over bids and to explore and develop alternatives to
maximize shareholder value. The Plan creates a right that attaches to each present and subsequently issued Common Share. Until the separation time, which typically occurs at the time of an unsolicited
take-over
bid,
whereby a person acquires or attempts to acquire 20 percent or more of the Common Shares, the rights are not separable from the Common Shares, are not exercisable and no separate rights
certificates are issued. Each right entitles the holder, other than the 20 percent acquirer, from and after the separation time and before certain expiration times, to acquire one Common Share at a substantial discount to the market price at the
time of exercise. The Board may waive the application of the Plan in certain circumstances. The Plan was reconfirmed at Pembinas 2016 meeting of shareholders and must be reconfirmed at every third annual meeting thereafter. A copy of the
agreement relating to the Plan was filed on Pembinas SEDAR and EDGAR profiles on May 13, 2016 and May 31, 2016, respectively.
Premium Dividend and Dividend Reinvestment Plan
On March 7, 2017 Pembina announced that it was suspending its DRIP, including the premium cash payment component (the
Premium
Dividend
) effective April 25, 2017. If Pembina elects to reinstate the DRIP in the future, shareholders that were enrolled in the DRIP at suspension and remained enrolled at reinstatement will automatically resume participation
in the DRIP. The DRIP and all associated agreements were previously amended and restated by Pembina on January 6, 2016. Pursuant to the amended and restated terms, when the DRIP is operating, eligible Pembina shareholders have the opportunity
to receive, by reinvesting the cash dividends declared payable by Pembina on their Common Shares, either (i) additional Common Shares at a discount of up to three percent to the Average Market Price (as defined in the DRIP), pursuant to the
Dividend Reinvestment Component of the DRIP, or (ii) a Premium Dividend equal to 101 percent of the amount of reinvested dividends, pursuant to the Premium Dividend Component of the DRIP. Until otherwise
announced by the Corporation, the Board of Directors has set the current discount rate at three percent to the average market price. Additional information about the terms and conditions of the DRIP, including eligibility restrictions and
withholding taxes can be found at www.pembina.com. Pembina will determine, for each dividend payment date during a period for which the DRIP is not suspended, the amount of new equity or premium cash payments, if any that will be made available
under the DRIP on that date.
Class A Preferred Shares
The Class A Preferred Shares are the Preferred Shares that Pembina may offer and issue from time to time under this prospectus and a Prospectus
Supplement. For a description of the Internal Preferred Shares of Pembina which are a separate class of securities from the Class A Preferred Shares described below, please refer to
Description of Common Shares, Preferred Shares
and Capital Structure of Pembina Internal Preferred Shares
.
Subject to certain limitations, the Board may, from time to time,
issue Class A Preferred Shares in one or more series and determine for any such series, its designation, number of shares and respective rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions. The Class A Preferred Shares as a class have, among
others, the provisions described below. The Class A Preferred Shares were not intended to and will not be used by the Company for anti-takeover purposes without Shareholder approval.
Each series of Class A Preferred Shares shall rank on parity with every other series of Class A Preferred Shares, and shall have priority over the
Common Shares, the Internal Preferred Shares and any other class of shares
- 19 -
ranking junior to the Class A Preferred Shares with respect to redemption, the payment of dividends, the return of capital and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Pembina. The Class A Preferred Shares of any series may also be given such preferences, not inconsistent with the provisions thereof, over the Common Shares, the Internal Preferred Shares and over any other class of
shares ranking junior to the Class A Preferred Shares, as may be determined by the Board.
The holders of each series of Class A Preferred
Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Board in respect of such series of Class A Preferred Shares. If any cumulative dividends or amounts payable on a return of capital in the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Pembina in respect of a series of Class A Preferred Shares are not paid in full, the Class A Preferred Shares of all series shall participate rateably in: (a) the amounts that would be payable on such
shares if all such dividends were declared at or prior to such time and paid in full; and (b) the amounts that would be payable in respect of the return of capital as if all such amounts were paid in full; provided that if there are
insufficient assets to satisfy all such claims, the claims of the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares with respect to repayment of capital shall first be paid and satisfied and any assets remaining shall be applied towards the payment and
satisfaction of claims in respect of dividends. After payment to the holders of any series of Class A Preferred Shares of the amount so payable, the holders of such series of Class A Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to share in any
further distribution of the property or assets of Pembina in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Pembina.
No series of
Class A Preferred Shares shall be convertible into any other class of shares of the Corporation but may be convertible into another series of Class A Preferred Shares.
Each series of Class A Preferred Shares shall be redeemable by the Corporation on such terms as determined by the Board.
Holders of any series of Class A Preferred Shares will not be entitled (except as otherwise provided by law and except for meetings of the holders of
Class A Preferred Shares or a series thereof) to receive notice of, attend at, or vote at any meeting of shareholders of Pembina, unless the Board shall determine otherwise in the terms of a particular series of Class A Preferred Shares,
in which case voting rights shall only be provided in circumstances where Pembina shall have failed to pay a certain number of dividends on such series of Class A Preferred Shares, which determination and number of dividends and any other terms
in respect of such voting rights, shall be determined by the Board and set out in the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions of such series of Class A Preferred Shares. Other than as set out in the foregoing sentence, the
material characteristics of each series of Class A Preferred Shares are substantially the same.
The specific terms of any offerings of Preferred
Shares including the designation of the particular series, the number of Preferred Shares offered, the offering price, any voting rights, the dividend rate, the dividend payment dates, and terms for redemption at the option of Pembina or the holder,
any exchange or conversion terms and any other specific terms will be described in one or more Prospectus Supplements.

Risks Relating to Securities
.
Internal Preferred Shares
Holders of Internal Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive notice of, to attend or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of Pembina,
except as required by law. The Internal Preferred Shares are retractable and redeemable at the option of the holder thereof and the Corporation, respectively. The price or consideration
payable at which each Internal Preferred Share shall be
retracted or redeemed (the
Redemption Amount
) shall be the fair market value of the consideration received therefor as determined by the Board at the time of issuance of the Internal Preferred Shares, as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to the terms of the Internal Preferred Shares.
- 20 -
The Internal Preferred Shares were not intended to and will not be used by the Company for anti-takeover purposes
without Shareholder approval. If at any time a holder of Internal Preferred Shares ceases to be, or is not, a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Pembina, Pembina, with or without knowledge of such event, shall be deemed, without further
action or notice, to have automatically redeemed all of the Internal Preferred Shares held by such holder in exchange for the Redemption Amount.
All of
the issued Internal Preferred Shares of Pembina were cancelled pursuant to the amalgamation between Pembina and its wholly-owned subsidiary Alberta Oil Sands Pipeline Ltd. on October 1, 2015. There are currently no Internal Preferred Shares
outstanding.
The holders of Internal Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, if and when declared by the Board, preferential non-cumulative
dividends based on the Redemption Amount applicable to such shares at the rate to be set by the Board.
Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
Pembina, the holders of Internal Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive for each such share, in priority to the holders of Common Shares, the Redemption Amount per share together with all declared but unpaid dividends thereon.
Convertible Debentures
Series F Convertible
Debentures
The Series F Convertible Debentures were issued April 29, 2011 in the principal aggregate amount of $172,500,000, which bear
interest at an annual rate of 5.75% payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 and have a maturity date of December 31, 2018. Each Series F Convertible Debenture is convertible into Common Shares at the option of the holder at
any time prior to the close of business on December 31, 2017 and the business day immediately preceding the date specified for redemption by Pembina of the Series F Convertible Debentures, at a conversion price of $29.53 per Common Share,
subject to adjustment in certain events. Pembina may, at its option, since December 31, 2016, elect to redeem the Series F Convertible Debentures in whole or in part at the option of Pembina at a price equal to their principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest. Any accrued unpaid interest will be paid in cash.
Pembina retains a cash conversion option on the Series F Convertible
Debentures, allowing the Corporation to pay cash to the converting holder of the debentures in lieu of the holders entitlement to Common Shares, at the option of the Corporation.

EARNINGS COVERAGE
The following consolidated earnings coverage ratios of the Corporation have been prepared and included in this prospectus in accordance with Canadian
disclosure requirements and have been calculated for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 based on audited financial information and for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2017 based on unaudited financial information. The

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Corporation may sell the Securities (i) to underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, (ii) directly to one or more purchasers, or
(iii) through agents where permitted by law, for cash or other consideration. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices or non-fixed prices, such prices determined by reference to the prevailing
price of the Securities in a specified market, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be at-the-market distributions as defined in
National Instrument 44-102
Shelf Distributions
(
NI 44-102
), including sales made directly on the TSX, NYSE or other existing trading markets for the Securities. The prices at which Securities may be offered may
vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities.
The Prospectus Supplement for any of the Securities being offered
will set forth the terms of the offering of those Securities, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the offering price of the Securities (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the currency or
currencies in which the Securities will be offered, the manner in which the offering price will be determined (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the proceeds to the Corporation from that sale if determinable, any
underwriting fees or discounts and other items constituting underwriters compensation, any public offering price, and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers or agents. Only underwriters named in the relevant
Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with the Securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.
If underwriters purchase
Securities as principal, the Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying
prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase those Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Securities offered by the Prospectus
Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. The Securities may also be sold directly by the Corporation at
prices and upon terms agreed to by the purchaser and the Corporation or through agents designated by the Corporation from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the Securities pursuant to this prospectus will be named, and any
commissions payable by the Corporation to that agent will be set forth, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any agent would be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its
appointment.
The Corporation may agree to pay the underwriters a commission for various services relating to the issue and sale of any Securities offered
by this prospectus. Any such commission will be paid out of the Corporations general funds or the proceeds of the sale of the Securities. Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled
under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation to
- 25 -
indemnification against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, as amended, and Canadian provincial securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to
payments that those underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
Any offering of Securities, other than Common Shares, will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in
the applicable Prospectus Supplement, such Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Certain dealers may make a market in such Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without
notice. No assurance can be given that any dealer will make a market in such Securities or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for such Securities.
Except as set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, in connection with any offering of Securities, other than an
at-the-market distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix or stabilize the market price of the Common Shares at a level above that which might otherwise
prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
CERTAIN INCOME
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a
resident of Canada or who is a non-resident of Canada of acquiring, owning or disposing of any Securities offered thereunder, including to the extent applicable, whether any dividends or interest relating to the Securities will be subject to
Canadian non-resident withholding tax.
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may also describe certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of
the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is subject to United States federal taxation.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Securities will be subject to various risks including those discussed below and those risks inherent to the industry in which Pembina
operates. Before deciding whether to invest in any Securities, investors should consider carefully the risks discussed below, the risks incorporated by reference in this prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference)
and those described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Securities.
Discussions of certain risk factors affecting
Pembina in connection with its business are provided in Pembinas disclosure documents filed with the various securities regulatory authorities which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. In particular, see
Risk
Factors
in the AIF and the Annual MD&A. Before investing, prospective purchasers of Securities should carefully consider the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
.
Risks Relating to the Securities
There is no
market through which the Securities (other than the Common Shares) may be sold.
There is currently no market through which any of the Securities,
other than the Common Shares, may be sold and the purchasers of such Securities may not be able to resell such securities purchased under this prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop
for any of the
- 26 -
Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units that may be issued under this prospectus or that any secondary market which does develop will continue. This may affect the pricing of
such Securities in the secondary market, if any, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities and the extent of regulation of such Securities.
The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between Pembina and underwriters based on several factors and may bear no
relationship to the prices at which Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See
Plan of Distribution
.
The Common Shares may be subject to price and volume fluctuations, and the market price for the Common Shares following an offering may drop below the
offering price.
In recent years, securities markets have experienced considerable price and volume volatility, which may have been unrelated to
the operating performance of Pembina and not necessarily determined solely by reference to the underlying value of Pembinas assets. The market price of publicly traded securities is affected by many variables, including the strength of the
economy generally, commodity prices, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments and the breadth of the public market for the securities. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of securities on the stock
exchanges on which Pembina securities trade suggests that the trading price of the Common Shares may be volatile. The market price of the Common Shares may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Pembina. These fluctuations may affect
the price of the Common Shares following an offering, and the market price of the Common Shares may drop below the offering price. As a result of this volatility, securityholders may not be able to sell their Common Shares at or above the offering
price. Pembina cannot predict at what price the Common Shares issued by Pembina will trade in the future.
The decision to pay dividends and the
amount of such dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board based on numerous factors and may vary from time to time.
Cash dividends to
holders of Common Shares or Preferred Shares are not guaranteed. Although Pembina currently intends to pay monthly cash dividends to its holders of Common Shares, these cash dividends may be reduced or suspended. The amount of cash available to
Pembina to pay dividends, if any, can vary significantly from period to period for a number of reasons, including, among other things: Pembinas operational and financial performance; fluctuations in operating costs; the amount of cash required
or retained for debt service or repayment; amounts required to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements; access to equity markets; foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; and the risk factors set herein and documents
incorporated by reference herein.
The decision whether or not to pay dividends and the amount of any such dividends are subject to the discretion of the
Board, which regularly evaluates Pembinas proposed dividend payments and the solvency test requirements of the
Business Corporations Act
(Alberta). In addition, the level of dividends per Common Share will be affected by the number of
outstanding Common Shares and other securities that may be entitled to receive cash dividends or other payments, such as Preferred Shares and debt securities which may be entitled to payment in priority to dividends on Common Shares. Dividends may
be increased, reduced or suspended depending on Pembinas operational success and the performance of its assets. The market value of the Securities may deteriorate if Pembina is unable to meet dividend expectations in the future, and that
deterioration may be material.
Pembina may issue additional Securities in the future which may dilute the holdings of existing securityholders,
including holders of Securities purchased hereunder, or which may have priority over existing securityholders.
Pembina may issue additional
Securities, which may dilute existing securityholders, including purchasers of the Securities hereunder. Pembina may also issue debt securities that have priority over holders of other Securities
- 27 -
with respect to payment in the event of an insolvency or winding up of Pembina. Securityholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with any such further issuances. The Board has the
discretion to determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to any series of Preferred Shares, the price and terms of any Debt Securities and the price and terms for any issuances of Common Shares, Warrants and
Subscription Receipts.
Credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the Preferred Shares and may change.
Credit ratings may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in Preferred Shares. Any credit ratings applied to Preferred Shares are an assessment of
Pembinas ability to pay its obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in the credit ratings will generally affect the market value of Preferred Shares. The credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks
related to structure, market or other factors discussed herein on the value of Preferred Shares. There is no assurance that any credit rating assigned to Preferred Shares will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not
be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the relevant rating agency.
Increases in interest rates may cause the market price or value of the Preferred
Shares to decline.
Prevailing interest rates will affect the market price or value of the Preferred Shares. The market price or value of the
Preferred Shares may decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.
Risks Relating to the Arrangement
Possible
Failure to Realize Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement
The Arrangement is subject to normal commercial risks that such transaction may not be
completed on the terms negotiated or at all, Pembina and Veresen are proposing to complete the Arrangement to strengthen the position of Pembina in the pipeline industry and to create the opportunity to realize certain benefits including, among
other things, potential cost savings. Achieving the benefits of the Arrangement depends in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as the
ability of Pembina, after giving effect to the Arrangement, to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the acquired businesses and operations of Veresen with those of Pembina.
The integration of the Veresen assets requires the dedication of substantial management effort, time and resources which may divert managements focus
and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during this process. The integration process may result in the loss of key employees and the disruption of ongoing business, customer and employee relationships that may
adversely affect Pembinas ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.
Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent
The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of condition precedents, certain of which are outside the control of Veresen and Pembina, including
obtaining the requisite approvals from Common Shareholders and receipt of certain required regulatory approvals, including approval under the
Competition Act
(Canada). A substantial delay in obtaining satisfactory approvals or the imposition
of unfavourable terms or conditons to the regulatory approvals necessary to complete the Arrangement could delay the effective date and may adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of Pembina or the combined company. There is no
certainly, nor can Pembina provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. If for any reason the Arrangement is not completed, or is materially delayed, the market price or value of the
Securities may be adversely affected.
- 28 -
Entry into New Business Activities
Completion of the Arrangement will result in a combination of the current business activities currently carried on by each of Veresen and Pembina as separate
entities. The combination of these activities into the combined company may expose Pembina and the holders of its Securities to different business risks than those to which they were exposed prior to the Arrangement. As a result of the changing risk
profile of the companies, the combined company may be subject to review of its credit ratings, which may result in a downgrade or negative outlook being assigned to the combined company.
After the completion of the Arrangement, Pembina will face the same risks currently facing each of Veresen and Pembina, in addition to other risks.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no outstanding legal proceedings material to the Corporation to which the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries is a party or in
respect of which any of the properties of the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries are subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO
OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Under the
Business Corporations Act
(Alberta) (the ABCA), the Registrant may indemnify a
director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant, or a person who acts or acted at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or
creditor, and the directors or officers heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the director or officer in
respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the director or officer is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant, (i) if the director or officer acted honestly and
in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing
that the directors or officers conduct was lawful. The Registrant may with the approval of the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta indemnify the aforementioned persons in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant to
procure a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action
if the person fulfills the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii) above. A director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant, or a person who acts or acted at the request of the Registrant as a director or
officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the directors or officers heirs and legal representatives, is entitled to indemnification from the Registrant pursuant to the ABCA in respect of
all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the person is made party by reason of being or having been a director or officer
of the Registrant, if the person seeking indemnity was substantially successful on the merits, fulfilled the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii) above, and is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
The
by-laws
of the Registrant provide that, subject to the provisions of the ABCA, the Registrant
shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant, or a person who acts or acted at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a
shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or
administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or such body corporate, if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the
Registrant, and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. The
by-laws
of the
Registrant also provide that the Registrant may also indemnify such persons in such other circumstances as the ABCA permits or requires.
The Registrant has indemnity agreements with, and has directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of, each of its
directors and officers. The terms and conditions of such agreements are consistent with the provisions of the ABCA and the Registrants
by-laws
and the terms and conditions of such insurance are standard
for the Registrants industry.
II-1
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
