Calgary, December 18, 2006 Keyera Facilities Income Fund (TSX:KEY.UN; KEY.DB) announced today a cash distribution for December 2006 of 11.9 cents per unit. The distribution will be payable on January 15, 2007 to unitholders of record on December 29, 2006. The ex-distribution date is December 27, 2006.
For tax purposes, Keyera currently expects that approximately 50% to 60% of its 2006 distributions will be a return of capital for Canadian residents. This outlook is subject to change, depending on the levels of profitability and capital expenditures in each of Keyera’s operating entities or as a result of further announcements by the federal government. For non-resident unitholders, Keyera’s distributions, including both income and return of capital portions, are subject to Canadian withholding tax.
