Inter Pipeline Announces Increase to Monthly Cash Dividend

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 5, 2015) - Inter Pipeline Ltd. ("Inter Pipeline") (TSX:IPL) announced today that its board of directors has approved a six percent increase to its monthly cash dividend from $0.1225 to $0.13 per share. On an annualized basis, dividends will increase by $0.09 per share from $1.47 to $1.56. Shareholders of record as of November 23, 2015 will be eligible for Inter Pipeline's new monthly dividend rate of $0.13 per share, with payment expected on or about December 15, 2015. Inter Pipeline's dividend payments to shareholders are designated as "eligible dividends" for Canadian tax purposes.

"This marks Inter Pipeline's thirteenth consecutive dividend increase to its shareholders," said Christian Bayle, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This increase reflects our record financial performance, driven by significant new cash flow contributions from major organic growth projects completed on our Canadian pipeline systems, as well as the continued strong performance and expansion of our bulk liquid storage business in Europe."

In 2015, Inter Pipeline successfully placed into service the major elements of an integrated $3.0 billion expansion on its Cold Lake and Polaris pipeline systems, completed a $112 million expansion on its Mid-Saskatchewan conventional oil system and acquired additional petroleum and petrochemical storage assets in Europe. These investments are now generating significant incremental cash flow which underpins Inter Pipeline's record financial performance to date in 2015.

Since inception, Inter Pipeline has distributed approximately $3.2 billion in cash payments to investors.
