CALGARY, Dec. 4, 2018 /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 December 2018 of $0.19 per share to be paid, subject to
applicable law, on January 15, 2019 to shareholders of record on December
31, 2018. 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 dividends" and may be subject to Canadian

Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7565. 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.
