Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (the "Company") (TSX:KML) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank, RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities (together, the "Underwriters") pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase from the Company, 8,000,000 cumulative redeemable minimum rate reset preferred shares, Series 3 (the "Series 3 Preferred Shares") at a price of $25.00 per share for distribution to the public.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering to indirectly subscribe for preferred units in Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership, which intends to subsequently use such proceeds to, directly or indirectly, finance the development, construction and completion of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and Base Line Terminal project as well as potential future growth opportunities, to repay indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

The holders of Series 3 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive fixed cumulative dividends at an annual rate of $1.3000 per share, payable quarterly on the 15th day of February, May, August and November as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, yielding 5.20 percent per annum at the issue price, for the initial fixed rate period to but excluding February 15, 2023 (the "Initial Fixed Rate Period"). The first quarterly dividend payment date is scheduled for February 15, 2018 and is anticipated to be in the amount of $0.22082 per share (assuming closing of the offering on December 15, 2017). The dividend rate will reset on February 15, 2023 and every five years thereafter at a rate equal to the sum of the then five-year Government of Canada bond yield plus 3.51 percent, provided that, in any event, such rate shall not be less than 5.20 percent per annum. The Series 3 Preferred Shares are redeemable by the Company, at its option, on February 15, 2023 and on February 15 of every fifth year thereafter at a price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
