The subscription receipts were issued at an offering price of $42.85 per subscription receipt for total gross proceeds of approximately $1.28 billion.
Pembina will use the proceeds from the offering to finance a portion of its $3.1 billion acquisition of Enbridge Inc.’s (“Enbridge”) interests in certain pipeline assets, including the Alliance, Aux Sable and NRGreen joint ventures.
Pembina’s subscription receipts offering was the second-largest cross-border equity financing by a Canadian company in 2023, the largest registered cross-border offering of subscription receipts since 2016 and the third-ever such transaction to exceed $1 billion.
The subscription receipts were offered through a syndicate of underwriters, co-led by TD Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank.
