CALGARY, Feb. 19 /CNW/ - Keyera Facilities Income Fund (TSX:KEY.UN;
KEY.DB) announced today a cash distribution for February 2008 of 13.5 cents
per unit. The distribution will be payable on March 17, 2008 to unitholders of
record on February 29, 2008. The ex-distribution date is February 27, 2008.
The distribution amount of 13.5 cents per unit reflects the 8% increase
that was announced on February 12, 2008. This is the sixth distribution
increase in five years and represents a 49% increase in distributions per unit
since Keyera began operations in May 2003.
For tax purposes, Keyera currently expects that its 2008 distributions
will be taxable for Canadian non-exempt unitholders. This outlook is subject
to change. For non-resident unitholders, Keyera's distributions are subject to
Canadian withholding tax.
