NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Shareholders approve 2-for-1 stock split
CEO underscores value of secure, reliable energy at annual shareholders meeting
CALGARY, Alberta, May 11, 2011 Enbridge Inc. (TSX, NYSE:ENB) today held its Annual and
Special Meeting of Shareholders in Calgary. At the meeting, shareholders voted in favour of
resolutions to approve the proposed division of the Companys common shares on a two-for-one basis,
updates to the Companys Stock Option Plans and the Shareholder Rights Plan and cast an advisory
vote on the Companys approach to executive compensation. Shareholders participating in person and
by webcast also had the opportunity to hear from Company leadership on Enbridges track record and
future direction and to pose questions of management and directors.
The proposal to divide the Companys common shares on a two-for-one basis was approved by at least
99% of votes cast at the meeting. Final voting results on all resolutions are expected to be
available at www.enbridge.com within three business days of the meeting.
Enbridge common shares will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on a split basis at the
opening of business on Friday, May 20, 2011 which is the second trading day preceding the record
date of May 25, 2011. As of the record date, each shareholder of record will receive one additional
common share for each common share he or she holds.
Enbridge common shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange, commencing at the opening of
business on Friday, May 20, 2011, with rights entitling holders to an additional common share for
each common share held upon the commencement of trading of the common shares on a split basis on
the NYSE. The trading of the common shares on a split basis on the NYSE will commence on Wednesday,
June 1, 2011, after the May 31, 2011, delivery of share certificates to registered holders of
Enbridge common shares.
For beneficial shareholders who hold their shares in an account with their investment dealer or
other intermediary, their account will be automatically updated to reflect the stock split.
Similarly,
shareholders enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan will have those accounts automatically
updated to reflect the stock split.
Registered shareholders should retain their current Enbridge share certificates which will remain
valid, and continue to represent the number of Enbridge shares indicated on those certificates.
Additional Enbridge stock certificates will be mailed on May 31, 2011. The combination of the old
stock certificates and the new stock certificates will represent each shareholders total
post-split shareholdings.
As announced on April 28, 2011, the Board of Directors declared another quarterly dividend of $0.49
per share, on a pre-divided basis, payable on June 1, 2011 to shareholders of record on May
13, 2011. That dividend record date precedes the record date of the share split. Future dividends
will reflect the two-for-one share split.
Enbridge anticipates that the stock split will make Enbridge stock more accessible to retail
shareholders and should enhance liquidity for investors. The Company currently has approximately
387 million shares outstanding, which subsequent to the stock split will double to approximately
774 million shares outstanding. At the close of business today, the price of an Enbridge common
share was Cdn$61.44.
Motions to increase the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plans
and to amend, continue and approve the Shareholder Rights Plan were approved by shareholders
by at least 97% of votes cast at the meeting and by proxy.
Shareholders also approved a non-binding resolution to accept the Boards approach to executive
compensation. This is the first year Enbridge has offered its shareholders a say on pay.
In his address, Patrick D. Daniel, Enbridges President and Chief Executive Officer, provided an
overview of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, and spoke to the Companys outlook.
Looking forward, Enbridge has a suite of growth prospects that extends across all of our
operations, said Mr. Daniel. Over the past three years we have brought into service $12 billion
of new pipelines and other energy infrastructure. Between now and 2014, we already have secured
another $6 billion that will come on stream, and we have a further $30 billion in promising
opportunities in various stages of investigation. As a result, we expect that our earnings will
continue to grow, on average, 10 per cent per year through the middle of this decade.
Mr. Daniel also spoke to the value of secure, reliable energy.
Our society simply cannot enjoy the incredible benefits of abundant, reliable and inexpensive
energy without energy development. Even green energy requires large-scale infrastructure, said Mr.
Daniel. Enbridge moves a huge amount of energy to the people who need it and we strive to do that
as safely as possible. It is our primary corporate social responsibility to deliver energy and
enable society.
Enbridge Inc., a Canadian company, is a North American leader in delivering energy and one of the
2011 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations. As a transporter of energy, Enbridge operates, in
Canada and the U.S., the worlds longest crude oil and liquids transportation system. The Company
