Keyera Announces May 2015 Dividend and Reactivates Premium Dividend™ Plan

CALGARY, May 5, 2015 /CNW/ - Keyera Corp. (TSX:KEY) ("Keyera") announced today a cash dividend for May 2015 of 11.5 cents per common share. The dividend will be payable on June 15, 2015, to shareholders of record on May 25, 2015. The ex-dividend date is May 21, 2015. This dividend is an eligible dividend for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). For non-resident shareholders, Keyera's dividends are subject to Canadian withholding tax.

Effective with the May dividend, Keyera is amending and reactivating the Premium Dividend^TM component of its Premium Dividend^TM and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan").

Currently, eligible shareholders enrolled in the regular dividend reinvestment component of the Plan have their dividends reinvested in additional common shares issued from treasury at a 3% discount to the Average Market Price (as defined in the Plan) on the applicable dividend payment date. There are no changes to this regular dividend reinvestment component of the Plan. However, with the reactivation of the amended Premium Dividend^TM component of the Plan, eligible shareholders will have the option of electing to have these additional common shares delivered to the designated Plan Broker in exchange for a premium cash payment equal to 101% of the regular declared cash dividend that is reinvested on their behalf. Canaccord Genuity Corp. will act as the Plan Broker for the Premium Dividend^TM component of the Plan.  

Participation in the Plan is optional. Shareholders who choose not to enroll in either the regular dividend reinvestment component of the Plan or the Premium Dividend^TM component of the Plan will continue to receive regular cash dividends. Eligible shareholders wishing to enroll in the Plan (or to change their enrolment to participate in the Premium Dividend^TM) should contact the institution through which they hold their common shares as soon as possible to confirm enrolment procedures and timelines.

A complete copy of the Plan and a related Questions and Answers document are available on Keyera's website.
