NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Inc. Declares June 1 Dividends
CALGARY, Alberta, April 26, 2012 – Enbridge Inc. (TSX, NYSE: ENB) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend on its common shares of $0.2825 per share, payable on June 1, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2012. The amount of the dividend is consistent with the March 1, 2012 dividend.
Unusually, a portion of this specific common share dividend will not qualify for the enhanced dividend tax credit in Canada. This is because certain of the funds being distributed to shareholders will be sourced from funds received in the form of dividends from Noverco Inc., a private company investee of Enbridge, following the profitable sale of some of Noverco’s shares in Enbridge. Accordingly, this portion, currently estimated to be $0.2372 per share, will not be designated as an “eligible dividend” under Canadian tax rules. The remaining portion of the dividend, currently estimated to be $0.0453 per share, will be designated as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian federal income tax purpose. The whole dividend will still be a “qualified dividend” for U.S. tax purposes.
Enbridge will notify all shareholders of the amount of the eligible dividend by posting a notice on the Company’s website on or before the dividend is paid on June 1, 2012, and Canadian financial institutions will also provide detailed T5 year-end tax information in early 2013, allowing taxpayers to report their tax positions.
The Board also declared the following dividends on Enbridge’s preferred shares, all of which will be designated as eligible dividends:
| • | A quarterly dividend of $0.34375 per share on Enbridge’s Preferred Share, Series A (ENB.PR.A). The dividend is payable on June 1, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2012. |
| • | A dividend of $0.25 per share on Enbridge’s Preferred Shares, Series B (ENB.PR.B). The dividend is payable on June 1, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2012. |
| • | A dividend of $0.25 per share on Enbridge’s Preferred Shares, Series D (ENB.PR.D). This dividend is payable on June 1, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2012. |
| • | A dividend of $0.3699 per share on Enbridge’s Preferred Shares, Series F (ENB.PR.F). This is the first dividend payment for these shares which were issued January 18, 2012, and will be payable on June 1, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2012. The regular quarterly dividend payable on the Series F preferred shares, which will take effect on the September 1, 2012 dividend payment, is $0.25 per share. |
