In This Article:

CALGARY, AB, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Enbridge Inc. (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB) (Enbridge or the Company) announced today that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem its currently outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares, Series 11 (Series 11 Shares) (TSX: ENB.PF.C) on March 1, 2025. As a result, subject to certain conditions, the holders of the Series 11 Shares have the right to convert all or part of their Series 11 Shares on a one-for-one basis into Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares, Series 12 of Enbridge (Series 12 Shares) on March 1, 2025. Holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series 11 Shares into Series 12 Shares will retain their Series 11 Shares.

The foregoing conversion right is subject to the conditions that: (i) if Enbridge determines that there would be less than 1,000,000 Series 11 Shares outstanding after March 1, 2025, then all remaining Series 11 Shares will automatically be converted into Series 12 Shares on a one-for-one basis on March 1, 2025; and (ii) alternatively, if Enbridge determines that there would be less than 1,000,000 Series 12 Shares outstanding after March 1, 2025, no Series 11 Shares will be converted into Series 12 Shares. There are currently 20,000,000 Series 11 Shares outstanding.

With respect to any Series 11 Shares that remain outstanding after March 1, 2025, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Enbridge. The new annual dividend rate applicable to the Series 11 Shares for the five-year period commencing on March 1, 2025 to, but excluding, March 1, 2030 will be 5.477 percent, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 2.837 percent determined as of today plus 2.64 percent in accordance with the terms of the Series 11 Shares.

With respect to any Series 12 Shares that may be issued on March 1, 2025, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferential cash dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Enbridge. The dividend rate applicable to the Series 12 Shares for the three-month floating rate period commencing on March 1, 2025 to, but excluding, June 1, 2025 will be 1.41151 percent, based on the annual rate on three month Government of Canada treasury bills for the most recent treasury bills auction of 2.96 percent plus 2.64 percent in accordance with the terms of the Series 12 Shares (the Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate).
