CALGARY, – Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced on April 1 that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Enbridge’s interest in the Alliance, Aux Sable, and NRGreen joint ventures.
The Alliance Pipeline, built over 1999-2000, is one of the prime conduits of gas from northeast British Columbia and northwest Alberta to the American Midwest. The pipeline has an extensive gathering system in the Taylor, Fort St. John, and Dawson Creek areas of B.C., and a broad area around Grande Prairie and much of northwest Alberta. Alliance collects liquids-rich natural gas and ships it in essentially a straight line to Chicago, where all of its contents are processed in a massive gas processing facility known as Aux Sable.
It enters Saskatchewan near Kerrobert and its last compressor station before leaving the province is at Alameda. In North Dakota, a lateral from Tioga allows North Dakota gas to join the system.

NRGreen is a much smaller venture that uses organic Rankine cycle heat recovery to generation power from waste heat at Alliance’s compressor stations, including four sites in Saskatchewan that sell their power to SaskPower.
“We are excited to further enhance our business by increasing our ownership in Alliance and Aux Sable. Aligning with Pembina’s strategy, this acquisition grows and strengthens our existing franchise and provides greater exposure to resilient end-use markets,” said Scott Burrows, Pembina’s president and chief executive officer. “With completion of the transaction, we will prioritize integrating these businesses and pursuing the near-term synergies we have identified to extract greater value from these unique and exceptional assets.”
Subscription Receipts
The approximately $3.1 billion purchase price for the transaction was funded, in part, from the net proceeds of Pembina’s $1.28 billion bought deal offering of subscription receipts, which closed on December 19, 2023. With the closing of the transaction, each holder of subscription receipts will be entitled to receive, automatically and without additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder, one common share of Pembina. On March 28, 2024, Pembina made a cash payment per subscription receipt, to holders of subscription receipts of record as of March 15, 2024, of $0.6675 (a “Dividend Equivalent Payment”), such amount being equal to the dividend per common share paid on such date to holders of common shares. No further dividend equivalent payment will be paid or is payable to holders of subscription receipts in connection with closing of the transaction.
Trading in the subscription receipts is expected to be halted, the transfer register maintained by the subscription receipt agent will be closed and the Subscription Receipts will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange, in each case, effective as of the close of trading April 1. The common shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the subscription receipts are expected to commence trading on the TSX and on the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow on April 2.
Revised 2024 Guidance
In conjunction with closing, Pembina has updated its 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $4.05 billion to $4.30 billion (previously $3.725 to $4.025 billion). Relative to Pembina’s previous guidance, the revised outlook for 2024 primarily reflects the incremental contribution from increased ownership of Alliance and Aux Sable, as well as a stronger outlook in the marketing business, the company said.
