CALGARY, Jan. 12, 2015 /CNW/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina"
or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that its Board

$0.145 per share to be paid, subject to applicable law, on February 13,
2015 to shareholders of record on January 25, 2015.
For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds,
the January 2015 cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S.
$0.1228 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian
withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.8466. 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's Board of Directors also declared quarterly dividends on the
Company's preferred shares: Series 1, 3, 5 and 7. All preferred share

to Canadian withholding tax.
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 of the month following the record date. Should the payment date fall on
a weekend or on a holiday the business day prior to the weekend or
holiday becomes the payment date. Dividends on the preferred shares are
payable on the 1st day of March, June, September and December in each year, if, as and
when declared by the Board of Directors. Again, should the payment date
