CALGARY, AB, April 1, 2024 /CNW/ - Enbridge Inc. ("Enbridge" or "the Company") (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB) announced today the closing of the agreement to sell its 50.0% interest in Alliance Pipeline and its 42.7% interest in Aux Sable to Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") (TSX: PPL) (NYSE: PBA) for $3.1 billion, previously announced on December 13, 2023.

This is an important milestone and Enbridge remains committed to working closely with Pembina to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the assets during the transition period.

The divestiture represents a key element of Enbridge's financing plan. The sale proceeds will fund a portion of the Company's strategic U.S. gas utilities acquisitions and be used for debt reduction.

Although Enbridge believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions relating to the Company's announced acquisition of three U.S. gas utilities, financial strength and flexibility; debt and equity market conditions; and general economic and competitive conditions. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas and renewable energy, and the prices of these commodities, are material to and underlie all forward-looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for the Company's services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which the Company operates and may impact levels of demand for the Company's services and cost of inputs and are, therefore, inherent in all forward-looking statements.

Enbridge's forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this and in the Company's other filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. The impact of any one assumption, risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and Enbridge's future course of action depends on management's assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this news release or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
