I am pleased to invite you to our 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, to be held on Friday, May 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. (Mountain Daylight Time). We are holding a virtual-only meeting by live audio webcast this year. See the information starting on page 7 of this 2026 Management Information Circular for details on how you can attend the meeting virtually and vote your shares.
On behalf of the board of directors, I want to express our deep appreciation for the trust you place in us as stewards of your investment. It is a privilege to represent you. We remain firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of governance, accountability, and integrity in our oversight of Pembina Pipeline Corporation.
Your board approaches its responsibilities with diligence and independence, ensuring that Pembina’s strategy, risk management practices, and capital allocation decisions continue to support the long-term interests of shareholders. Over the past year, the board worked closely with management to monitor performance, evaluate emerging opportunities, and navigate a dynamic environment. This ongoing collaboration, grounded in disciplined oversight and open dialogue, remains a defining strength of Pembina’s governance model.
We continue to take great pride in the accomplishments of the organization. Pembina's commitment to safety, reliability, customer service, financial excellence, and simply 'doing what we said we would do' continues to underpin our reputation. | |
2025 Results and Accomplishments
In 2025, Pembina delivered solid financial results, continued to demonstrate its strong track record of safe, on-time and on-budget project execution, and advanced new projects to support future growth. In addition, the Company’s competitive offering and overall resilience were strengthened through targeted productivity, as well as organizational and cost efficiencies. Our continued commercial success highlights the value our customers continue to place on Pembina’s competitive tolls, integrated value chain, strong project execution, superior connectivity and optionality, and access to global markets.
Pembina’s accomplishments in 2025 reflect the strength of our integrated business model and disciplined approach to capital allocation.
Strong Financial and Operational Results
| • | Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 billion1, within the Company’s original 2025 guidance range. |
| • | Record Pipelines and Facilities volumes of 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. |
| • | Strong safety and environmental performance with Pembina exceeding its internal 2025 targets. |
| • | Strong balance sheet with debt metrics within the Company’s targeted range. |
| • | $1.2 billion invested in projects and sustaining capital. |
| • | Dividend increased approximately 3%. |
Continued Execution of Pembina’s Strategy
Pembina delivered another year of strong execution, ensuring long-term stability and advancing value creation initiatives.
| • | The Company secured significant contract renewals across its pipeline systems, including major recontracting on the Peace and Alliance Pipeline systems, and fully contracting the Nipisi Pipeline. These commitments reinforce asset utilization and reliable cash flow. |
| • | Pembina strengthened its export position by sanctioning the Prince Rupert Terminal Optimization project and securing additional West Coast LPG capacity, ensuring competitive access to premium global markets. |
| • | Major growth projects, including the RFS IV Fractionation Expansion Project, Wapiti Gas Plant Expansion, and the K3 Cogeneration Facility, are progressing on time and on, or under, budget, underscoring Pembina’s industry-leading project execution. |
| 1 | See Non-GAAP and other financial measures on page 105. |
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 1 |
| • | Responding to growing customer demand, Pembina is advancing a multi-year plan for incremental liquids transportation infrastructure, including sanctioning the Fox-to-Namao Peace Pipeline expansion to support continued basin growth. |
| • | In partnership with the Haisla Nation, Pembina continued execution of the Cedar LNG Project, achieving major construction milestones. Pembina also fully contracted its Cedar LNG capacity to third parties, while enhancing its expected financial contribution from the project. |
| • | Pembina and its partner progressed the proposed Greenlight Electricity Centre, a strategic opportunity to meet the electricity demands of data centres in Alberta, while diversifying Pembina’s customer base, and driving additional natural gas and liquids throughput across its network. |
The Year Ahead
Throughout 2026, the board will continue to review and assess our strategy against an ever-evolving landscape and the prevailing economic environment, adapting and changing as deemed necessary. We will of course also continue to oversee management’s execution of our strategy to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective energy infrastructure that connect producers to high value global markets.
Pembina’s integrated value chain and access to premium markets remain key competitive advantages, positioning the Company to capture incremental volumes and pursue disciplined growth aligned with our risk and return expectations. The board will continue to ensure that capital allocation decisions are within strategy and support enduring per share growth and a sustainable dividend.
As the energy landscape continues to evolve, your board is focused on ensuring that Pembina remains disciplined, agile, and forward-looking. We are committed to preserving the company’s strong foundation while enabling it to responsibly pursue new avenues for economic growth.
Director Retirement
Anne-Marie Ainsworth will be retiring from the board at the 2026 annual meeting. Anne-Marie joined the board in the fall of 2014, bringing not only her background in engineering and the operation of major energy facilities, but also her passion for all things related to safety, health, the environment, and operational excellence. All these areas became significantly more important to Pembina over the years as our operations expanded into areas beyond pipelines, and Anne-Marie’s insight, wisdom, and guidance have been critical in our performance in these areas. Anne-Marie also brought a particular affinity to support the advancement of women at Pembina, and I know many of our employees have benefited from her experience.
Anne-Marie’s counsel will be missed at the boardroom table. On behalf of the board and the Company, I want to thank Anne-Marie for all she has done for Pembina over the last 12 years and wish her all the best in the future.
Stewarding Your Investment
The board is confident in Pembina’s strategic direction and in management’s ability to deliver responsible, long-term value for shareholders. As we continue our work, our objective is clear: to steward your investment with care, uphold the high standards you expect of us, and guide Pembina toward a future of sustained strength and opportunity.
Thank you for your ongoing support and confidence.
The board welcomes your feedback, particularly with respect to the virtual-only format of our annual meeting. I invite you to share your views by emailing me at boardchair@pembina.com.
Sincerely,
Henry W. Sykes
Chair of the Board

About the Shareholder Meeting – Voting Information
About the virtual meeting
We are holding a virtual-only meeting this year by live audio webcast as a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly way to engage with shareholders. Virtual meetings allow our shareholders and guests to save on commuting costs and time and contribute to environmental sustainability. We also believe that virtual meetings foster greater inclusivity by enabling every registered shareholder and duly appointed proxyholder, regardless of geographic location and ownership, to have an equal opportunity to participate at the meeting and vote on the matters to be considered at the meeting. The meeting cannot be attended in person. The full webcast will be available on the investors page of our website after the event, including any questions we receive from shareholders and our answers to those questions.
We value the discussions we have with our shareholders. We ask shareholders for feedback at all engagement opportunities and management regularly engages with our shareholders and provides the board with feedback from those discussions. See page 40 for more information on Pembina’s overall shareholder engagement strategy.
Attending as a guest
All shareholders can attend the meeting as a guest by logging in online at https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-053-918-100 selecting “I am a guest” and completing the required form. If you attend the meeting as a guest, you will not be permitted to vote during the meeting. Guests have an opportunity to ask questions during the live question and answer session held following the formal meeting.
Asking questions at the virtual meeting
Questions may be submitted at any time during the webcast through the chat thread on the live webcast; however, during the formal part of the meeting, only questions from registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders that relate to the business of the meeting will be addressed.
Pembina will host a live question and answer session after the formal part of the meeting, where we will answer other questions submitted during the meeting. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including beneficial shareholders that have duly appointed themselves as proxyholders) and guests can submit questions during the live question and answer session.
To make sure we can answer as many questions as possible, please keep your questions brief and concise, and limit each question to a single topic. If there are questions from several shareholders or proxyholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related, we may group, summarize and answer them together. While all shareholder questions are welcome, we do not intend to address questions that are not related to the business of the meeting or Pembina’s business or operations, are repetitive or have been asked by another shareholder, are personal in nature or in furtherance of a shareholder’s personal or business interest, are related to material non-public information, are considered derogatory or otherwise offensive, or are out of order or are otherwise not appropriate.
To ensure the meeting is conducted in a way that is fair to all shareholders, the chair of the meeting may exercise discretion in responding to questions, including the order that questions are answered in, the grouping or editing of questions, the amount of time devoted to any question and the appropriateness of a question in accordance with the rules of conduct in effect at the meeting.
Technical difficulties
If you participate in the meeting, it is important that you stay connected to the internet at all times during the meeting in order to vote. It is your responsibility to ensure connectivity for the duration of the meeting. You should allow ample time to log into the meeting.
All meeting participants must use the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. Please do not use Internet Explorer. We recommend that you log in at least 30-60 minutes before the meeting starts as this will allow you to check compatibility and complete the related procedures required to log in to the meeting.
Caution: Internal network security protocols including firewalls and virtual private network (VPN) connections may block your access to the meeting. If you are experiencing any difficulty connecting to or viewing the meeting, ensure your VPN setting is disabled or use a computer or other device on a network that is not restricted by any particular security settings.

How to vote
You can vote your shares by proxy (by appointing someone — a proxyholder — to represent you), or by attending the meeting and voting. The rules for voting depend on whether you are a registered shareholder or a beneficial shareholder, as further described below.
Beneficial shareholders
You are a beneficial shareholder if your shares are registered in the name of a nominee, such as a bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or other intermediary. The majority of our shares are held by beneficial shareholders. Beneficial shareholders have the option to vote their shares during the meeting or by proxy before the meeting, as set forth below.
Option 1: Vote during the virtual meeting
Before the meeting:
| 1. | Appoint yourself as the duly appointed proxyholder by printing your own name in the blank space provided in the proxy or voting instruction form. Then return the form in the envelope provided (or by following the instruction on the form). Do not complete the rest of the form or mark your voting instructions on the form, because your vote will be taken at the meeting. |
| 2. | Register online with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (Computershare) by going to www.computershare.com/pembina before 2:00 p.m. (Mountain Daylight Time) on May 6, 2026, and inputting your name and contact information. |
Computershare will email you a username before the meeting. You will need your username to log in to the meeting and vote. Without a username, you will not be able to vote at the meeting but will be able to participate as a guest.
On the day of the meeting:
| 1. | Log in online at https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-053-918-100. We recommend visiting the site before the meeting starts to make sure it works on your computer or device. You must stay connected to the internet for the entire meeting. |

| 4. | Complete the ballot online during the meeting. |
Beneficial shareholders who have not appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote online during the meeting but will be able to participate as a guest.
Option 2: Vote by proxy before the meeting
If you are a beneficial shareholder and wish to vote by proxy before the meeting, you must send your voting instructions to your nominee who will vote for you. You will receive a request for voting instructions for the number of shares held for your benefit. Follow the instructions on the proxy form or voting instruction form and send your voting instructions to your nominee. You likely have an earlier deadline for returning your voting instruction form to your nominee, so be sure to complete and return the form early, to allow enough time for your nominee to receive your voting instructions and then send them to Pembina before the proxy cut-off time.
We use Broadridge to send proxy-related materials to non-objecting beneficial shareholders. We intend to pay for intermediaries to deliver proxy-related materials to objecting beneficial shareholders.
Beneficial shareholders located in the United States
If you are a beneficial shareholder located in the United States and wish to vote at the meeting or, if permitted, to appoint a third-party as your proxyholder, in addition to the steps described above, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your nominee. Follow the instructions from your nominee included with the legal proxy form or contact your nominee to request a legal proxy form if you have not received one. After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your nominee, you must then submit such legal proxy to Computershare. Requests for registration from beneficial shareholders located in the United States that wish to vote at the meeting or, if permitted, to appoint third parties as their proxyholders must be sent by email or by courier

About your proxyholder
The officers named on the proxy form and voting instruction form (the management nominees) have agreed to serve as your proxyholder and will vote your shares according to your instructions. If you do not specify your voting instructions, they will vote your shares for each item of business at the meeting. If there are changes to the items of business or other matters that are properly brought before the meeting, your proxyholder can use their discretion and vote as they see fit. As of the date of this circular, we do not anticipate any changes to the items of business or other matters to be brought before the meeting.
Choosing someone else to be your proxyholder
You have the right to appoint someone other than the management nominees to be your proxyholder and act on your behalf at the meeting. The person you appoint does not need to be a shareholder. Make sure this person knows they have been appointed to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf. Your proxyholder must vote (or withhold from voting) your shares according to your instructions. If you appoint someone else to be your proxyholder and do not give them specific voting instructions, your proxyholder has the discretion to vote as they see fit.
To appoint someone other than the officers named in the proxy form and voting instruction form as your proxyholder:
| 1. | Appoint your proxyholder as a duly appointed proxyholder by printing their name in the blank space provided on your proxy form or voting instruction form. Then return the form in the envelope provided (or by following the instructions on the form). |

The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee will consider the resignation and recommend to the board the action to be taken. The director who resigned does not participate in these discussions.
The board will consider the committee’s recommendation and, within 90 days of the meeting, will accept the resignation unless there are exceptional circumstances. The resignation will be effective when it is accepted by the board. The board will announce its decision in a news release.
If the board accepts the resignation, it can appoint a new director, call a meeting of shareholders to vote for other candidates or leave the position vacant until the next annual meeting of shareholders.
Our majority voting policy does not apply if a director election is contested.

About the Shareholder Meeting – Business of the Meeting
Through the processes described in the Auditor independence section, the audit committee has confirmed KPMG is independent with respect to Pembina within the meaning of the relevant rules and related interpretations prescribed by the relevant professional bodies in Canada and applicable legal requirements. KPMG has also confirmed that they are independent with respect to Pembina under all relevant U.S. professional and regulatory standards.
Representatives of KPMG will attend the meeting and will be available to respond to any questions.
Shareholder engagement
Pembina remains committed to engaging with stakeholders on the topic of auditor independence and tenure. Following extensive shareholder engagement in 2023 and 2024, in 2025, members of Pembina’s management and members of our Investor Relations team participated in approximately 250 unique meetings with shareholders, including 14 investor conferences and road shows across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. At certain of these meetings, among other topics, auditor independence and tenure, including consideration thereof by the audit committee, were discussed. At our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, the vote in favour of the appointment of KPMG remained consistent with the vote in 2024, receiving 89.36% of the common shares voted at the meeting.
See page 40 for more information on Pembina’s overall shareholder engagement strategy.

The audit committee annually reviews and approves the terms and scope of the external auditors’ engagement. The audit committee maintains a pre-approval policy with respect to permitted non-audit services whereby pre-approval of the audit committee is required for all non-audit services in order to mitigate the risk of non-audit services impacting the auditor’s independence. The audit committee is permitted to delegate to the chair of the audit committee pre-approval authority for services not previously approved by the audit committee. All such services approved by the chair of the audit committee are subsequently reviewed by the audit committee. The audit committee charter provides that fees for audit and audit-related services must be greater than 50% of the total fees paid to the auditor in a fiscal year.

About the Shareholder Meeting – Business of the Meeting
Auditor independence
Pembina recognizes that auditor independence is the foundation of audit quality and public confidence in our financial information. As such,
| Pembina’s auditor selection process is designed to maintain auditor independence while balancing the need for continuity of knowledge in order to ensure a high-quality audit provided by a firm with the depth and breadth of experience to effectively and efficiently audit a company with complex business operations.
Globally, various jurisdictions employ different regulatory controls to ensure external auditor independence. In Europe, regulations focus heavily on audit firm rotation. In Canada and the United States, greater focus is placed on other controls. Pembina adheres to the external auditor independence rules of both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA).
The audit committee, along with management, continuously assesses the external auditor and, on an annual basis, conducts a formal review of the external auditor and recommends to the board whether to propose the reappointment of KPMG or to consider other audit firms. The audit committee also conducts a more comprehensive review of the external auditor every five years.
|
Controls to ensure independence
• continuous and annual review of independence • periodic comprehensive review of external auditor • low quantum of non-audit fees with KPMG and audit committee charter limits on non-audit fees • KPMG internal controls and safeguards that meet or exceed SEC and IESBA requirements • adherence to mandatory audit partner rotation requirements and cooling-off periods • in camera meetings excluding management at each quarterly audit committee meeting • PCAOB and CPAB audits | |||||
| Below are details regarding factors the audit committee considers when assessing KPMG’s independence. |
Audit committee expertise and independence reviews
All members of the audit committee are independent and financially literate within the meaning prescribed by U.S. and Canadian securities laws and two of the members of the committee are designated financial experts under NYSE rules.
The audit committee completes an annual review of the external auditor, which consists of an assessment of independence, quality of the audit team, and quality of communications and interactions with the external auditor. As part of its annual assessment on independence, the audit committee also receives and reviews the auditor’s reports regarding independence.
The audit committee also considers any factors that may impair the independence of the auditor at each audit committee meeting. The audit committee believes that transparent and open communication is essential to maintaining auditor independence and maintains an open and direct line of communication between the auditors and the chair of the audit committee and the audit committee itself.
Pembina’s annual information form (AIF) includes more information about the audit committee, including the committee charter, beginning on page 111 of the AIF. The 2025 AIF is available on our website (www.pembina.com), on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
Comprehensive review of auditor
The audit committee and management conduct a comprehensive review of the external auditor at least every five years to further enhance the governance processes relating to auditor independence and audit quality. A comprehensive review was completed in 2025 (for the five-year period from 2020 to 2024) using the approach recommended by the Enhancing Audit Quality initiative by CPA Canada and the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB) as well as guidance from the Centre of Audit Quality to safeguard against institutional familiarity threats.
The comprehensive review provides the audit committee with data on three key factors of audit quality for the committee to consider and assess:
| • | independence, objectivity and professional skepticism, |
| • | quality of the engagement team, and |
| • | quality of communications and interactions with the external auditor. |
The results of this review supported the continuation of KPMG’s audit engagement. Pembina is committed to conducting this review at least every five years.
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 14 |
About the Shareholder Meeting – Business of the Meeting
Auditor fees and objectivity considerations
The audit committee understands that the magnitude of fees paid to an auditor could negatively impact auditor independence if a financial interest will inappropriately influence an auditor’s judgment or behaviour. In reaching the conclusion to recommend the re-appointment of KPMG as our auditors, the audit committee considered the magnitude of the fees that Pembina pays to KPMG. For 2025, KPMG has confirmed to the audit committee that the fees payable to KPMG were not material to KPMG.
There is also a risk that independence could be compromised if an auditor is deterred from acting objectively because of actual or perceived influence or pressures. The audit committee considers safeguards that KPMG has implemented to manage this risk as an important element of its assessment of audit quality. KPMG has multiple layers of internal controls and safeguards designed to ensure audit staff are independent of Pembina that meet or exceed the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants established by the IESBA and SEC requirements, including:
| • | the assignment of an engagement quality control review partner to the audit engagement by a risk management partner, |
| • | the involvement of experienced national office professionals outside of the engagement team when dealing with complex or judgmental matters, |
| • | the structure of the respective firms, and |
| • | compensation policies in place. |
Given the audit committee’s understanding of the relative magnitude of fees paid to KPMG, as well as the audit committee’s evaluation of safeguards that have been implemented by KPMG, the audit committee has determined that these risks with respect to auditor independence have been appropriately managed.
Partner rotations and partner qualifications
As part of the annual review of auditor independence, the audit committee assesses KPMG’s ongoing compliance with mandatory rotation requirements. Under mandatory rotation requirements, the lead audit partner and quality review partner may serve a maximum of five years, followed by a five-year period without any involvement in the Pembina audit engagement. For other audit partners of KPMG involved in the Pembina audit, the mandatory rotation occurs after a maximum of seven years of service followed by a two-year period without any involvement in the Pembina audit engagement. This rotation helps ensure auditor independence is maintained by changing the key personnel working on Pembina’s audit after a set period of time. Our lead audit partner last rotated for the 2023 audit. Pembina has never had the same lead audit partner for more than a single rotation.
In addition to the partner rotations described above, all lead partners and quality review partners must satisfy the following minimum requirements:
| • | Chartered Professional Accountant, in good standing, |
| • | industry-specific experience, |
| • | completion of relevant professional development and accreditation training, |
| • | knowledge of, and experience with, the applicable financial reporting framework and auditing standards, and |
| • | knowledge of, and experience with, applicable Canadian securities laws and SEC rules and regulations. |
The audit committee is satisfied with KPMG’s ongoing compliance with the regulatory mandated rotation requirements (five and seven years, as applicable in the circumstances) as well as the transition plans that have been followed to on-board qualified engagement partners who are new to providing audit services to Pembina.
PCAOB and CPAB Audits
Two independent regulatory bodies, the CPAB in Canada and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in the United States carry out stringent audit quality assessments of audit firms. The PCAOB publishes the results of its inspection for each audit firm on their website. By PCAOB regulations, the auditor is required to report any breach of independence rules to the audit committee, including their evaluation of the breach. There have been no independence issues identified for the last five years.

| 4. Vote on our approach to executive compensation
You will vote on our approach to executive compensation disclosed in this circular.
A key principle underlying executive compensation at Pembina is ‘pay for performance’. We believe that linking executive compensation to strategy and corporate performance |
Say on pay votes
In 2025, our executive compensation approach was supported by 96.74% of shareholder votes for our say on pay resolution.
| |
helps us attract and retain excellent people and motivates them to focus on our success. You will find a detailed discussion of our executive compensation program beginning on page 59 of this circular.
The board gives shareholders the opportunity every year to vote for or against our approach to executive compensation (to have a say on pay). This is an advisory vote, so the results of the “say on pay” resolution will not be binding on the board. The board will, however, consider the outcome of the vote as part of its ongoing review of executive compensation. If a significant number of shareholders oppose the “say on pay” resolution, the board will consult with shareholders to understand their concerns, and then review our approach to executive compensation with their concerns in mind.
In 2025, our approach to executive compensation was supported by 343,606,218 votes in favour of our say on pay resolution (96.74% of the common shares voted at the meeting), with 11,594,140 votes against (3.26% of the common shares voted at the meeting).
At the meeting, you will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the following non-binding resolution:
RESOLVED, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the board of directors of Pembina Pipeline Corporation (Pembina), that the common shareholders of Pembina (shareholders) accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in Pembina’s 2026 Management Information Circular delivered in advance of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.
This resolution conforms to the language of the resolution recommended by the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance.
|
The board recommends you vote for our approach to executive compensation.
|
Unless instructed otherwise, the management nominees named in the proxy form and voting instruction form will vote for our approach to executive compensation as described in this circular.
5. Other business
You will vote on any other items of business that may be properly brought before the meeting. As of the date of this circular, we are not aware of any other matters to be brought before the meeting.

About the Nominated Directors |
To ensure strong stewardship, the board needs to operate independently, have a prudent mix of relevant skills and experience, including industry knowledge and experience, a mix of tenures, sufficiently diverse backgrounds and opinions to support balanced discussion and debate, and must be a manageable size to facilitate productive discussion and decision-making.

Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
The board’s mandate
|
The board oversees our business, provides guidance to management, monitors management’s activities and sets corporate policy. The board is also responsible for developing our approach to corporate governance, including policies, standards and practices that ensure we operate ethically and meet or exceed the laws and regulations that apply to us.
The board’s charter sets out specific matters that must be approved by the full board. All significant strategy-related operational, governance, financial and risk management decisions that could affect our shareholders are reviewed by the board.
The board’s charter includes:
● ensuring an ethical culture;
● strategic planning oversight;
● risk management oversight;
● executive succession planning and diversity;
● financial management and reporting; and
● director and senior officer compensation. |
Board charter
You can find a copy of the board’s charter in Schedule “A” to this circular or on our website (www.pembina.com).
The board’s oversight of sustainability and ESG crosses many of the responsibilities in its charter, including ensuring an ethical culture, overseeing strategy and risk, increasing diversity, approving reporting and overseeing compensation design. You can read about the board’s efforts throughout this section.
The board’s approach to governing sustainability and ESG is discussed on page 34. Pembina’s sustainability report and performance data are available on our website at:
www.pembina.com/sustainability/
|
The board, in conjunction with the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee, also oversees Pembina’s overall ESG strategy.
The board fulfils its duties directly and by delegating certain responsibilities to its four standing committees (see page 49 for information about the committees).
| Ensuring an ethical culture
|
||||
| One of our most valuable assets is our reputation as a leading energy transportation and midstream service provider, with consistent financial performance and long-term financial stability. Fostering and ensuring a culture that promotes integrity and ethical conduct is key to maintaining our reputation.
Our commitment to respecting human rights applies to all of our directors, officers and employees and also extends to all of our consultants, contractors and subcontractors working at our sites and includes, among other things:
● eliminating unlawful discrimination and harassment in the workplace;
● recognizing the legal rights of all individuals and communities, including women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of other racial, ethnic and/or visible minorities, and the economically disadvantaged;
● respecting the importance of the environment in the communities where we operate;
● respecting employee rights related to freedom of association and collective bargaining;
● recognizing the right to water as a fundamental human right; and
● addressing risks of modern slavery, forced labour and child labour (as applicable, recognizing that the risk of these human rights violations is very low due to the primary geography of Pembina’s operations).
|
Ethics policies Pembina maintains the following policies and standards: ● Code of ethics ● Whistleblower policy ● Anti-bribery policy ● Sanctions policy ● Community relations policy ● Indigenous and Tribal relations policy ● Supplier code of conduct | |||
Our commitment to respecting human rights is informed by the principles of the Universal Bill of Human Rights, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labor Organization’s Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
All directors review and acknowledge our code of ethics policy annually (the code). All officers and employees must acknowledge every year that they have read and understand the code, anti-bribery policy, whistleblower policy and other policies, will review all updates, and will comply with them at all times. You can find these and other policies on our website (www.pembina.com).
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 30 |
Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
Code of ethics policy
The code establishes a high standard of integrity and ethical behaviour to support Pembina’s reputation and its relationships with its internal and external stakeholders. All directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors of Pembina (personnel) are governed by the code, which sets out principles for ethical conduct in the following areas:
● conflicts of interest;
● business relationships and fair dealing;
● honesty, integrity and compliance with the law;
● human rights;
● government relations;
● health, safety and environmental matters;
● personnel relations;
● integrity of financial information; |
● disclosure and insider trading;
● stakeholder and public relations;
● privacy and confidentiality;
● protecting our assets and records;
● gifts, entertainment, benefits and business expenses;
● workplace environment and relationships; and
● reporting responsibilities and procedures. |
Compliance with the code is mandatory and everyone has a responsibility to report violations of the code. Violations of the code can result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal for cause.
The board is responsible for establishing procedures for monitoring compliance with the code and does so through a combination of periodic reports from management, our annual certification process, as well as through our whistleblower policy (see below). No waivers of the code for directors or executives can be made unless it is approved by the board and properly disclosed, as required by applicable laws and regulations. Waivers in respect of employees, consultants, contractors or agents may be given by the President and the CEO and reported to the board at the next meeting. The board has not waived any aspect of the code since it was implemented in 2005, and no material change reports related to the conduct of any director or officer have been filed (which would generally be required for conduct that would constitute a material departure from the code).
Whistleblower policy
Our whistleblower policy is designed to help us uphold our reputation and maintain public confidence by encouraging personnel and other stakeholders to act responsibly, raise concerns and report any potential instance of unethical practices without fear of discrimination, retaliation or harassment. The policy includes examples of activities that should be reported, and the process whistleblowers should follow to file a confidential report, including a Whistleblower Hotline that allows people to report anonymously by telephone or the internet, or through our external legal counsel addressed as confidential for direct delivery to the board chair, at any time. Any reports received through the Whistleblower Hotline or by the board chair regarding financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters will be forwarded to the chair of the audit committee. Complaints under the whistleblower policy are treated confidentially and promptly and thoroughly investigated.
Anti-bribery policy
Our anti-bribery policy formalizes and records Pembina’s procedures to ensure the company and its directors, officers and employees conduct business in an honest and ethical manner when dealing with government officials and all other parties and comply with anti-corruption laws. The anti-bribery policy reflects the standards Pembina expects its contractors, consultants, agents and other third-party representatives to adhere to when acting on Pembina’s behalf.
Sanctions policy
Our sanctions policy reinforces Pembina’s commitment to carry out its business activities in compliance with applicable sanctions laws, rules and regulations. The key objectives of the sanctions policy are to provide guidance and requirements for Pembina and its personnel to comply with all applicable legal obligations related to sanctions laws, rules and regulations to protect Pembina’s reputation and ensure continued access to the goods, services and technology required to conduct its business, and to demonstrate Pembina’s commitment to compliance with sanctions laws, rules and regulations to third parties, including joint venture partners, governmental authorities and local stakeholders.
Community relations policy
Our community relations policy focuses on the company’s commitment to being recognized as a leader in its relationships with communities, where Pembina is welcomed as a safe and responsible partner whose positive social impact creates significant value for all of its stakeholders. Under this policy, Pembina’s personnel are expected to recognize and respond to the needs of the community, while addressing broader social issues by: understanding what communities value and what is

Indigenous and Tribal relations policy
As part of Pembina’s approach to Indigenous relations, Pembina seeks to enter into lasting and mutually-beneficial relationships with Indigenous and Tribal peoples affected by its operations. By striving for positive and mutually-beneficial relationships with Indigenous and Tribal communities, |
2025 highlights
Key areas of focus this year were on strategy execution, ensuring ongoing alignment of projects, opportunities and initiatives with our refined strategy and confirming that our strategy will meet our performance aspirations in light of the latest information related to the pace of decarbonization and globalization.

Pembina personnel will help build continued success for Pembina’s existing and expanding systems and other businesses. See page 36 for a discussion of Pembina’s Indigenous engagement.
Supplier code of conduct
Pembina prides itself on working with suppliers who place safety as a top priority, uphold the highest standards of ethics and integrity, and are economically, environmentally, and socially responsible. The purpose of the supplier code of conduct is to help ensure Pembina works with suppliers who share our commitment to the following principles, which help shape Pembina’s business philosophy on a day-to-day basis: creating a safe workplace; environmental stewardship; equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI); protection of human rights; no forced labour or child labour; ethics, integrity and compliance; anti-corruption and anti-bribery; privacy, confidentiality, and information security; compliance with applicable laws and policies; and representing the Pembina brand and reporting breaches of the supplier code of conduct through our Whistleblower Hotline.
Conflicts of interests and related party transactions
The directors and officers of Pembina may be directors or officers of entities that we are in competition with or are customers or suppliers of Pembina or certain entities in which Pembina holds an equity investment. This may give rise to a conflict of interest in the administration of their duties for Pembina. Directors and officers of Pembina are required to disclose the existence of potential conflicts of interest in accordance with the code and other corporate governance policies and in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).
The audit committee has oversight of related party transactions. Under our corporate governance guidelines, a director who has a material interest in a transaction or agreement involving Pembina must disclose their interest to Pembina’s Corporate Secretary and may not participate in any discussions or votes on the matter. All directors and executive officers of Pembina also complete an annual questionnaire disclosing any related party transactions. The oversight process is managed by Pembina’s financial services team in cooperation with the governance team, who maintain a list of all affiliations and run a process quarterly to ensure that related party transactions are reported and disclosed as required. See Note 26 in our 2025 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on related party transactions.
Related party in this context means: (a) individuals who are considered key management personnel, including certain key officers and the directors of Pembina, and close members of the individual’s family; (b) any entities that the above individual’s control, jointly control, have significant influence over, or serve as key management personnel or directors; (c) joint ventures held by Pembina; and (d) pension plans that benefit employees. A related party transaction is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between a reporting entity and a related party, regardless of whether a price is charged.
Strategic planning oversight
The board oversees the development and execution of our long-term strategic plan and shorter-term objectives and initiatives. Pembina is committed to growing shareholder value through strategic project development and acquisitions that support the long-term success of both our company and our customers.
The board holds dedicated strategy sessions every year. At these sessions, the board meets with management to review Pembina’s current activities, long-range financial forecast and future growth opportunities, including input from third-party advisors from time to time about industry or other trends and developments that may benefit us or pose a risk. The board approves our strategic plan and monitors performance against it throughout the year, based on quarterly updates and reports from management.

Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
Risk management oversight
| The board is responsible for overseeing risk management at Pembina. The board ensures it understands the principal risks of our business and assesses the balance between risk and potential return for Pembina and our shareholders to ensure our viability over the long-term.
As part of its responsibility, the board makes sure we have:
● an enterprise risk management (ERM) process aligned with strategy, designed to identify and assess potential risks that may affect our business, operations or results, and to manage risk factors within our risk appetite;
● a risk management infrastructure to respond to identified risks, and critical risk |

Pembina maintains the following policies: ● Enterprise risk management policy ● Market risk policy ● Counterparty risk management policy ● Acceptable use of information assets policy ● Information management policy ● Security policy
| |||||
| management policies and procedures, including risk response, controls, monitoring, mitigation and reporting to the board; and | ||||||
| ● | specific management processes for addressing corporate, regulatory, securities and other compliance requirements. |
To facilitate our risk review, we have an enterprise risk committee (ERC) made up of certain senior officers. The ERC meets at least quarterly to review the performance, appropriateness and the current business environment surrounding our risk management activities. As part of the risk review process, the ERC identifies Pembina’s top risks and divides them into three categories:
| ● | New action required: risks where mitigation will require a new approach or strategy; |
| ● | Mitigated with ongoing diligence: risks where there is mitigation strategy in place, but such mitigation strategy may require some further adaptation or adjustments; and |
| ● | Watch list: risks that may escalate to enterprise risks. |
For these top risks, the ERC identifies potential impacts, mitigation strategies currently in place, emerging risks, and proposed additional mitigation approaches. In addition, the CEO or a senior officer is assigned to every risk categorized as “new action required” or “mitigated with ongoing diligence”.
Management reports periodically to the board about the risks that have been identified and, at least once per year, presents to the board a summary of the ERC’s review of risk identification, management and reporting, and any deficiencies identified. Throughout 2025, the board and management continued to develop and improve the conversation around Pembina’s risk appetite framework and are involved in an ongoing dialogue relating to the appropriate commercial risks the company will assume and mitigate to effectively execute its strategy. The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee reviews the risk oversight functions of the board and board committees to confirm that identified risk oversight is appropriately allocated. The audit committee also reviews Pembina’s corporate insurance program and coverage to ensure that appropriate insurance is in place for other insurable risks.
The ERM process also guides our materiality and disclosure decisions in relation to risks, based on the overriding principle that risks must be disclosed if they would most likely influence an investor’s decision to purchase securities of the company, and weighing both the probability of an outcome as well as the potential financial impact to the company. You can find a complete listing and explanation of our risk factors under the heading Risk Factors in our AIF, which can be found on our website (www.pembina.com), on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
Cybersecurity risk oversight
Pembina’s cybersecurity strategy is a core responsibility of the board. Additionally, the safety, environment and operational excellence committee, on behalf of the board, oversees the development and implementation of the Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) programs, which includes the monitoring and mitigation of cybersecurity risks.
To help ensure that all directors are versed in the rapidly evolving issue of cybersecurity, management updates the board on cybersecurity issues at each quarterly board meeting, which includes updates relating to the company’s security scorecard, device compliance, prevented cyber attack attempts, cyber incidents, cyber threat intelligence, phishing exercises and awareness and assurance activities. Management also provides quarterly updates to the safety, environment and operational excellence committee on operational updates relating to cybersecurity.
In 2025, management formally briefed the board on cybersecurity matters at each regularly scheduled meeting and the safety, environment and operational excellence committee received regular reports on cybersecurity matters.
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 33 |
Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
We have a robust program for identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks, enhancing the skills of our people, our processes and technology. This program consists of policies, standards, procedures and guidelines that are continuously adapting to the ever-evolving cybersecurity and data privacy threats and laws. Our cyber risk identification process detects potential risks through, among other tactics, third-party risk assessment, maturity analysis and penetration testing and assigns corrective action and oversight to the appropriate leaders. Pembina’s cybersecurity program aligns to the National Institute of Standards and Technologies Cyber Security Framework, a world-renowned framework for managing cybersecurity.
Three components form the core of our approach to cybersecurity:
| Governance | Ongoing guidance to measure success and adherence to cyber best practices; routine training and testing of the workforce on cyber risks and appropriate behaviours. | |
| Risk and Compliance | Focus on evolving regulatory requirements, management of Pembina’s third-party and supply chain risks; vulnerability and risk assessments performed on a regular basis utilizing both internal resources and external service providers; and assurance that appropriate architecture, processes and controls are in place within Pembina’s operational technology and information system assets. | |
| Security Operations | Continuous “around-the-clock” monitoring to identify potential vulnerabilities, irregular or threat activities as well as global trends and incidents; maintaining infrastructure security through network architecture that separates our business and operational assets; automatic response capabilities on technical platforms for protection on known threats and ongoing cyber-attacks; and ongoing maintenance of cyber technology platforms and incident response activation capabilities. | |
We have cyber insurance and have not experienced an information security breach in the last four years.
Artificial intelligence risk oversight
As artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, the board has a greater role for effective oversight in Pembina’s strategy and governance related to the risks and opportunities of AI. In support of the board’s understanding of the accelerating use of AI, training and related materials were made available to directors and the board attended an education session in November 2025 on conditions and approaches for adopting AI and generative AI at Pembina. Additionally, the audit committee is responsible for overseeing the security of the company’s information assets, including the use of AI technology platforms, which is governed by the company’s acceptable use of information assets policy to develop, implement, and maintain appropriate safeguards to protect Pembina and its directors, officers, employees and other stakeholders.
Sustainability and ESG
Sustainability and ESG considerations play an important role in the execution of Pembina’s long-term strategy and continue to be embedded across our operations. Our approach reflects a commitment to strong governance, prudent risk management, and disciplined capital allocation, helping to ensure the resilience and long-term value of our business. By advancing our ESG priorities, we continue to strengthen our ability to deliver safe, reliable, and responsible energy while creating lasting benefits for our investors, customers, employees and the communities in which we operate.
Pembina has taken a deliberate and robust approach to identifying our sustainability-related focus areas, using a third-party materiality assessment that included broad engagement with capital markets participants and other stakeholders. Through this process, Pembina has identified six sustainability focus areas: governance, energy transition and climate, employee well-being and culture, health and safety, responsible asset management and Indigenous and community engagement.
Pembina is committed to providing accurate, substantiated and transparent sustainability and ESG disclosures. Our climate-related and other ESG disclosures are developed using guidance from leading sustainability reporting standards, including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, which now form part of the International Sustainability Standards Board’s standards, IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, and the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board’s (CSSB) standards, Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standard 1 and 2. We continue to monitor the ESG regulatory landscape for developments that could impact Pembina, including climate-related disclosure proposals and regulations from the SEC, U.S. state-specific legislation, voluntary guidance from the CSSB and disclosure requirements from the Canadian Securities Administrators.
The following is a summary of ESG highlights across some of our sustainability focused areas. A more detailed discussion of our sustainability approach and performance is available in our 2024 Sustainability Report (released in 2025), which is available on our website at www.pembina.com.

Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
Governance
Board oversight
The board oversees Pembina’s overall sustainability strategy, including the integration of ESG considerations into our long-term business planning, organizational structure and corporate policies and practices. At its annual corporate strategy sessions and quarterly meetings, the board regularly engages on ESG issues, including climate, through presentations by management and third-party experts.
The board has delegated the following ESG related responsibilities to its four standing committees.
| Committee | ESG-related responsibilities | |
| Governance, Nominating and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee |
● Oversees Pembina’s corporate governance practices.
● Oversees Pembina’s ESG strategy, including climate and other material topics, and makes recommendations to the board on the integration of ESG considerations into long-term business planning, organizational structure and corporate policies and practices.

Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
| Senior Officer | ESG-related responsibilities | |
| Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer |
● Responsible for overseeing Pembina’s strategy development and execution, including the evaluation of enterprise risks and sustainability-related factors, energy management, carbon markets, as well as managing the enterprise transformation portfolio that contributes to Pembina’s ESG performance.
● Responsible for initiatives associated with extending Pembina’s value chain and exploration of new opportunities centered around a lower carbon economy, including new ventures. | |
Oversight of ESG by management is supported by our corporate governance policies, frameworks, and processes. Pembina’s capital project governance framework guides capital project decisions and supports project identification, evaluation and selection in alignment with our corporate strategy and key stakeholder interests. The framework ensures that capital investments are subject to a risk-based and standardized set of project planning and management review requirements emphasizing health and safety, environmental protection, Indigenous and community engagement, regulatory compliance and consideration of GHG emissions performance. Major capital projects that qualify under this framework require senior officer review and endorsement at regularly scheduled investment committee meetings before approval is granted to proceed to the next stage of development.
ESG performance represents 30% of our annual corporate short-term incentive plan (STIP) compensation for all eligible employees, covering safety, environmental performance, and GHG emissions. Achieving these metrics alongside other operational, financial and strategic goals impacts annual incentive compensation for all employees, including our leadership team. Linking compensation to our corporate performance on ESG factors, including our GHG emissions intensity reduction target, reinforces long-term value creation and aligns with our stakeholders’ interests. Refer to page 76 for ESG-specific performance categories and key measures for 2025.
Energy transition and climate
We demonstrate environmental leadership by safely and responsibly operating our assets today while investing in the energy systems of the future. Our approach includes operational efficiency and modernization, greater use of renewable and lower emission energy sources and advancing lower-carbon investments all while delivering secure, reliable and affordable energy.
As part of our approach, we continue to progress towards our GHG emissions intensity reduction target to reduce GHG emissions intensity by 30% by 2030, relative to 2019 baseline emissions. In support of this target, in 2025 Pembina implemented, sanctioned or screened a number of decarbonization actions including equipment and process optimizations and upgrades, engine upgrades, leak repairs and waste heat recovery upgrades. Additionally, Pembina realized scope 2 emissions reductions from grid greening and carbon offset retirements linked to existing renewable power purchase agreements.
In support of advancing lower-carbon investment projects, Pembina continues to develop the Alberta Carbon Grid (ACG) project in collaboration with TC Energy Corporation. The ACG project is a carbon transportation and sequestration solution being designed to serve multiple customers and industries, with the potential capability of transporting and storing up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 annually when fully developed. Additionally, Pembina and the Haisla Nation continued to achieve important milestones on the Cedar LNG Project – a floating LNG facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, within the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation.
Indigenous engagement
Pembina’s Indigenous and Tribal relations policy governs how we approach our engagement with Indigenous and Tribal communities, recognizing and respecting the spirit and intent of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a framework for reconciliation within the context of the Constitution of Canada, existing laws and jurisprudence on Indigenous and treaty rights.
Our Indigenous Engagement Strategy outlines Pembina’s Path to Reconciliation, in alignment with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action, and is focused on four directions:
| ● | Cultural appreciation: providing Indigenous cultural awareness training and educational opportunities for Pembina senior leadership and employees, while recognizing there are many distinct Indigenous communities and Tribes with unique languages, cultures, traditions, rights, priorities and protocols. |
| ● | Lifecycle alignment: building, maintaining and formalizing long-term relationships with Indigenous and Tribal communities near our projects and operations, and embedding Indigenous inclusion and engagement in governance, internal policies, standards and processes for decision-making. |
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 36 |
Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
| ● | Economic reconciliation: supporting equitable access to jobs, training and education opportunities, and working with Indigenous communities to gain long-term sustainable benefits from economic development projects. This also ensures procurement opportunities are available to Indigenous contractors within Pembina’s asset areas. |
| ● | Community development: creating long-term community relationships and collaboratively identifying sustainable partnerships based on community needs and opportunities in alignment with Pembina’s community investment pillars. |
Employee well-being and culture
Cultivating a positive employee experience and promoting a diverse and inclusive environment where our employees feel engaged, recognized and empowered is foundational to being an employer of choice.
Pembina has established EDI targets for our board and executive team, which aim to increase the representation of women and other underrepresented groups while aligning to our merit-based approach focusing on qualified, high-performing individuals. See page 38 for a discussion of our executive targets and our progress as at December 31, 2025 and page 42 for a discussion of our board targets and our progress as at the date of this circular.
For a discussion of our EDI initiatives, see page 38.
Health and safety
Safety is a core value at Pembina and is fundamental to how we operate. We are committed to ensuring every employee and contractor returns home safely each day and to protecting the environment and our assets from harm. Our Safety Program is governed by our Health, Safety and Environment Policy and embedded within our OEMS, which provides a consistent, enterprise-wide approach to risk management and operational excellence.
Our leadership team actively reinforces expectations, accountability, and a shared responsibility for safety, including with our contractors, who are a critical extension of our team. We hold our contractors to the same standards of performance and empowerment as our employees, including the authority to speak up and pause work when necessary. Open dialogue with our contractors was a focus throughout 2025 and strengthened alignment on expectations and helped identify opportunities to improve consistency, training and support.
In 2025, Pembina advanced several initiatives to reinforce a proactive safety mindset and culture, with the goal of driving consistent performance across our operations. This included, among others, the introduction of Safety Excellence for Supervisors and Managers (SEFSAM), a three-day leadership development program designed to equip leaders with essential leadership skills centered on safety principles. Other initiatives included hosting our third annual contractor Safety Summit to review business and safety overviews with contract partners; Daily Safety Syncs for field teams to create a consistent, safety-focused start to the workday; publication of a monthly internal Safety Newsletter to empower leaders to model and inspire a proactive approach to safety; and implementation of an annual mandatory ‘Commit to Safety’ statement for all employees and contractors to reaffirm individual accountability for safe work practices. These initiatives are underpinned by our commitment to psychological safety, creating an environment where everyone feels secure to voice concerns and contribute to our collective well-being and safety. Pembina will continue to advance this work as we evolve our programs and ensure our employees and contractors are equipped to uphold our high standards.
Executive succession planning and diversity
Executive succession planning
The board has developed a position description for the CEO, outlining the scope and responsibilities of the role.
The board is responsible for evaluating and appointing the CEO and the other senior officers. It also reviews succession plans for the CEO and the other senior officers, taking into consideration recommendations by the human resources and compensation committee. The CEO also meets with the human resources and compensation committee at least once per year to discuss succession planning for the CEO and other senior officer positions. Emergency successors for business continuity are identified for each executive position and are reviewed every year.
Our succession planning and recruitment programs ensure that we identify and develop a qualified and diverse candidate pool. As part of our succession program, all executive team members have completed an extensive assessment process designed to identify performance strengths and development opportunities in alignment with our executive capabilities. The outcome of these assessments has informed individual development plans which are reviewed regularly by both senior officers and the human resources and compensation committee.

Corporate Governance – Our Governance Practices
Shareholder engagement and communicating with the board
| The board engages with shareholders through accurate and consistent public reporting, as well as open dialogue about our strategy, performance and business activities. We provide ongoing information to our shareholders in our annual reports, management information circulars, AIFs, quarterly reports, news releases, sustainability reports, website, corporate presentations, earnings calls and at industry conferences and other meetings. Management hosts earnings calls every quarter that are open to all, with a live webcast and question and answer period. Our annual shareholders meetings are webcast live (this year’s meeting is virtual-only), and all shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders have an equal opportunity to participate and ask questions during the meeting. Guests have an opportunity to ask questions during the live question and answer sessions held following our annual meetings of shareholders.
Our shareholder engagement program is formally set every year, and follows a consistent pattern of investor conferences, management road shows, industry-specific conferences, one-on-one meetings and site tours.
We also ask investors for feedback at all engagement opportunities, as well as by email and by telephone, and our Investor Relations department has formal and informal interactions with shareholders about specific questions. Occasionally, members of the board, including the chair, will participate in these activities with management. Management regularly provides the board with feedback from our shareholders, both about our company and about more general themes related to our industry. |
2025 highlights Pembina engaged in approximately 250 unique meetings with shareholders, including participation in 14 investor conferences and road shows across Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

Corporate Governance –About the Board of Directors
|
| |
We expect our directors to demonstrate the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and to represent the long-term interests of our stakeholders.
Independence
| The board assesses the independence of directors annually and on appointment using independence criteria that meet or exceed the following standards: |
|
Independent board 9 of the 10 nominated directors are independent. Mr. Burrows is not independent because he is Pembina’s President and CEO. | ||
|
● National Policy 58-201 — Corporate Governance Guidelines; | ||||
|
● National Instrument 52-110 — Audit Committees; | ||||
|
● SEC rules and regulations; | ||||
|
● Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and |
||||
|
● TSX and NYSE rules. |
Such independence criteria is described in detail in our director independence guidelines, which you can find on our website (www.pembina.com).
Our director independence guidelines and corporate governance guidelines require all directors who sit on the audit committee, human resources and compensation committee, and governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee, to be independent directors.
In-camera sessions
The board meets in-camera without non-independent directors and management present at each regularly scheduled board meeting and as necessary at non-regularly scheduled meetings to facilitate regular, open and candid discussion among the independent directors.
In 2025, our independent directors met separately in-camera at all board and committee meetings.
About the board chair
The board chair is appointed by the directors for a term of one year. Our corporate governance guidelines require that the board chair be independent. Our board chair, Henry W. Sykes, is independent and has been chair since January 2023.
The board has written position descriptions for the board chair and the committee chairs, outlining the scope and responsibilities of those roles. Committee chairs lead their committee and report to the board. The board chair reports to the board and our shareholders and works with the CEO to make sure we fulfill our responsibilities to shareholders, employees, partners, governments, communities and the public. The roles of board chair and CEO have been separate since we went public in 1997.
The board chair is expected to provide leadership to the board and foster effective, responsible decision-making, including overseeing board direction and administration, and board and individual director effectiveness.
The board, in consultation with the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee, appoints the chair of each board committee.

Corporate Governance – About the Board of Directors
Nomination of new directors
The board reviews its composition annually, considering diversity, specific skills, tenure and the experience required on the board. The board looks at director nomination dynamically, recognizing that the skills the board needs will change over time as the company and the industry evolve. The goal is to ensure that the board remains effective, experienced and well-balanced.
The board considers new director candidates based on merit with regard to the benefits of diversity on the board, and with a view to the specific targets set out in the board diversity section below. The board also considers diversity of age, geography, skills, knowledge and experience in its selection process.
The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee looks to several sources to identify new candidates, including outside search firms, and recommends new director candidates to the board for approval. The board proposes the final list of nominated directors to shareholders at each annual meeting of shareholders.
The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee and the board look for director candidates who are inquisitive and objective, and have practical wisdom and mature judgment. Potential candidates are identified based on competencies, skills, education, communication and interpersonal skills, and relevant business, government and civic experience. The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee and the board also consider the board’s skills matrix to make sure board composition and diversity remain balanced. To make sure the process is impartial, the board takes into consideration any potential conflicts of interest and relationships between candidates and existing directors. The board also considers whether the candidates can devote enough time to their duties as a director and reviews and consults with the board chair and the CEO to gather their input before proposing the nominated directors to shareholders.
Potential candidates are interviewed extensively by members of the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee, and other members of the board.
Board diversity
| The board recognizes the importance of director diversity and has a written diversity policy that serves as a framework for promoting diversity of all kinds. In 2020, the board amended its board diversity policy to adopt diversity targets. The board will consider new director candidates based on merit with regard to the benefits of diversity on the board, and with a view to the following diversity targets:
● female and male genders to each represent at least 30% of the independent directors on the board; and |
||||||
| Representation | ||||||
|
The board exceeds its diversity targets under the board diversity policy: | ||||||
|
44% of the independent director nominees are women | ||||||
|
● at least 40% of independent directors represented by Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of other racial, ethnic and/or visible minorities and women.
The board currently exceeds the foregoing diversity targets, along with its targets for women in executive leadership and overall executive diversity. See page 38 for a discussion of our EDI targets. |
56% of the independent director nominees are represented by Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of other racial, ethnic and/or visible minorities and women | |||||
Four of the director nominees are women and two nominees self identify as a member of a visible minority. We have also improved the board’s geographic, educational, experience, and age diversity over time.
In line with the objectives of the board diversity policy, the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee aims to achieve diversity on the board when identifying, selecting and recommending nominees for election, while balancing the professional qualifications required of our directors. In its annual assessment of board composition and mix of skills, the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee also looks at how effective our board diversity policy is at building board diversity, considering the skills required on the board at that time.
The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee and the board are specifically committed to identifying candidates who will advance the board’s diversity targets and considers all aspects of diversity when assessing matters related to board composition and renewal. The board selects candidates based on the overall mix of skills and attributes, with a commitment to diversity.

Corporate Governance – About the Board of Directors
| Age and tenure | ||
|
We do not have a formal policy imposing term limits on directors. Our priority is to assemble a board that has the right mix of skills and experience to provide strong stewardship. While the board recognizes that a longer serving director can make a growing contribution to the board over time, it balances experience with some turnover to generate fresh ideas and perspectives on various issues and our business in general. Directors are ordinarily required to retire from our board and not stand for re-election once they have turned 72. The board may, however, deviate from this practice if it determines it is in the best interests of the company. |

Location
Pembina operates in Canada and the U.S., so it is important to have directors with experience in these markets. Seven of our director nominees are located in Canada, and three are located in the U.S. Aside from geographical location, we have several directors with relevant experience in both markets as well as internationally.
Skills and experience
The board regularly evaluates the competencies and skills of the directors against the competencies and skills identified as necessary for proper oversight, effective decision-making and fulfilling its mandate.
It is our goal to ensure the board has a prudent mix of relevant skills and experience, sufficiently diverse opinions to support balanced discussion and debate, and a manageable number of directors to facilitate productive discussion and decision-making. The board uses a skills matrix to identify and evaluate the experience and knowledge of the directors, and to identify potential areas to focus on when recruiting new director candidates. The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee maintains the matrix and reviews it regularly.
The table on the next page shows the mix of experience and knowledge of our nominated directors. We include each director’s self-assessment of their previous experience and functional expertise, which they rank at one of three levels based on criteria specific to each category.

Corporate Governance – About the Board of Directors
Attendance and active participation
| We have a very committed group of directors and are proud to report that our directors attended all board and committee meetings for which they were called for in 2025. Directors are expected to attend all board meetings and all of their respective committee meetings unless there is an unavoidable conflict or other extenuating circumstance. Attendance is monitored by the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee and is managed by the board chair. | ||
|
100% meeting attendance in 2025
|
We expect all board and committee meetings to be conducted in a way that promotes open communication, meaningful participation and timely resolution of issues. Currently, none of our independent directors serve on more than two committees, which allows them to fully participate and meet their obligations to the board. Independent directors have a standing invitation to attend all committee meetings whether or not they are a member.
The table on the next page includes details of director meeting attendance in 2025.

Orientation and continuing education
The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee is responsible for overseeing the director orientation process and for director education and development.
Orientation
Our orientation manual for new directors includes the following items:
| ● | corporate governance guidelines; |
| ● | director independence guidelines; |
| ● | board diversity policy; |
| ● | majority voting policy; |
| ● | board and committee charters; |
| ● | position descriptions for the board chair, committee chairs and the CEO; |

business issues and opportunities. New directors may also be invited by other directors, executives and business unit leaders to tour specific sites.
Continuing education
Directors have ongoing opportunities to increase their knowledge and understanding of our business. All of our directors are members of the Institute of Corporate Directors and the company pays the cost of this membership. The board also encourages individual directors to attend continuing education sessions and contributes to the cost of attending these courses.
We also periodically provide educational sessions about our business, our industry and emerging trends and issues. These educational sessions are usually held during scheduled board and committee meetings, and include:
| ● | annual briefings, which typically include reviews of the competitive environment, our five-year or 10-year financial outlook, our performance relative to our peers, significant risks and mitigation measures and other developments that could materially affect our business. Annual briefings may include presentations by third-party consultants, such as financial advisors, pension experts and outside legal counsel as needed; |
| ● | regular briefings on ESG, climate and cybersecurity developments and updates; |
| ● | regular briefings on corporate governance developments and emerging best practices; and |
| ● | presentations from time to time by external consultants about general industry trends, other issues or other topics of interest. |
Open communication between the board and management contributes to our long-term success. Annually, directors connect with our officers in an informal social setting to build relationships, establish trust and open the lines of communication. Pembina’s Corporate Secretary annually compiles a list of all continuing education taken by the directors. The table below shows the education sessions our directors attended in 2025 that were facilitated by Pembina. Individual directors may also attend other independent education sessions or sessions sponsored by other companies where they serve as a director.

| Serving on other boards | ||
| We recognize the significant commitment involved in serving on a board of directors and the value and experience gained from serving on other boards.
| ||
|
Our corporate governance guidelines limit the number of public company boards our directors can serve on. Any directors who hold executive positions with public companies can serve on one public company board in addition to Pembina’s board. All other directors can serve on up to three public company boards in addition to Pembina’s board. Directors who are members of the audit committee can only serve as a member of an audit committee of two other companies.
The board can allow a director to serve on additional boards if it determines that this would not impair the director’s independence or ability to effectively serve on the board and will disclose it in the circular and AIF. Directors who want to serve on the board, or as an |

executive, of another publicly traded company must notify the chair of our governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee before accepting the nomination or appointment. The chair of the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee, together with the board chair, will determine whether accepting the nomination or appointment would compromise the director’s availability or capacity to act as a director of Pembina, or result in an actual or perceived conflict of interest. None of our nominated directors serve on more than two other public company boards.
The board regularly reviews the other directorships of its directors in accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, including board and committee interlocks — when two or more directors serve together on another company board or board committee. When there is an interlock, the board, together with the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee, will review and decide whether a director should continue to serve on our board. In all cases, a director must not serve on the boards of directors of more than two other companies on which a fellow director also serves. As set forth in the table below, there is currently one public company board and committee interlock. The board has determined that the ability of these directors to act independently is not affected by serving together on these boards. There are currently no private company interlocks.

Board and committee evaluation
Regular board assessments are important to confirm that the board, the board chair, the committees, the chairs of each committee and individual directors are all performing effectively, based on the expectations set out in the board and committee charters and position descriptions, and to encourage continuous improvement.
Annual process
We complete an assessment of the board once per year as formally required in our corporate governance guidelines. The board chair, in conjunction with the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee, leads the annual assessment, with input from all directors. Each director completes a formal questionnaire every year, which is currently divided into five categories: board responsibility and effectiveness, board operations, board composition and renewal, committee of the board and open-ended questions. Each director also evaluates the effectiveness and performance of the
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 47 |
Corporate Governance – About the Board of Directors
board chair and their fellow directors. The board chair also conducts one-on-one interviews with each director on an annual basis. After the results of the questionnaires and meetings are compiled, the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee and the board discuss the results, in-camera, if appropriate.
In-depth review
Our corporate governance guidelines require the board to engage a third-party advisor to assist in the evaluation and assessment of the board, its committees, the board chair and the committee chairs at least once every three years. An external advisor was engaged in 2023 to help facilitate the board and individual director effectiveness evaluation and peer reviews. The governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee considers this evaluation as part of its discussions on board, committee and director effectiveness. An in-depth review by a third-party advisor will occur in 2026.
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 48 |
Corporate Governance – Board Committees
|
Board Committees | |
The board has four standing committees to help carry out its duties and meet the statutory and policy requirements that apply to our business:
| ● | audit committee; |
| ● | governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee; |
| ● | human resources and compensation committee; and |
| ● | safety, environment and operational excellence committee. |
Each committee is governed by a written charter that is approved by the board and reviewed and assessed every year by the committees themselves, the governance, nominating and corporate social responsibility committee and the board. All of the directors that serve on the board committees must be independent, except for our safety, environment and operational excellence committee, which must be comprised of a majority of independent directors.
Each committee updates the board regularly on its activities by providing a report to the board after each committee meeting and submits any recommendations that require board approval for discussion and review. Each committee is responsible for sharing information of mutual interest with other committees.
The board reviews the composition of its committees each year and adjusts committee membership periodically. The board can by resolution remove members of each committee when needed and fill vacancies if a committee has less than the minimum number of members required by its charter. The board chair is not a member of any standing committee but attends most committee meetings to fulfil his duty in providing leadership to the board in matters relating to the effectiveness of each of the committee’s responsibilities.
The board may also, from time to time, establish ad hoc committees to address specific issues that emerge or assume tasks not covered by the standing committees and for a specific period of time.
You can find the committee charters for our standing committees online at our website (www.pembina.com) and read about the nominated directors starting on page 17 of this circular.

Corporate Governance – Director Compensation
|
Director Compensation | |
We pay non-executive directors an annual retainer (in cash and equity) and additional amounts for committee memberships and chairing committees. This compensation package:
| • | acknowledges the expertise, time, due diligence and counsel that each director contributes to the board; |
| • | aligns the near- and long-term interests of directors with those of our shareholders; and |
| • | is competitive with the market. |
Mr. Burrows is compensated in the role of CEO and does not receive director compensation.

To help ensure they can meet their share ownership requirements (as described under the heading Building equity ownership below) within five years of joining the board, directors are required to take at least 50% of their total compensation as equity until they have met their share ownership requirements. Directors may elect to take up to 100% of their total compensation as equity. The rest of the compensation is paid in cash, quarterly in arrears.
The equity portion of director compensation is paid in DSUs under our DSU plan. A DSU is a notional share that has the same value as one common share. The value of DSUs changes with our share price and therefore have the same upside potential and downside risk as our common shares. DSUs do not have voting rights but they accrue dividends as additional DSUs, at the same rate as dividends paid on our common shares. The board does not have the discretion to grant additional DSUs other than in lieu of cash fees on a value for value basis. DSUs vest when they are credited to the director’s account but are paid out only after the director retires from the board (and must be redeemed within one year of retirement). The amount the director receives on redemption is calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs they hold (including credited dividend equivalents) by the weighted average trading price of common shares on the TSX for the last five trading days before the termination date.
Compensation in line with our peers
To ensure we can attract and retain talented directors, we compensate our directors in a way that is fair and competitive, targeting compensation at the median offered by our director compensation peer group.
The human resources and compensation committee engages outside consultants periodically to compare our director compensation practices and levels with companies with which we compete for talent. The director compensation peer group is the same peer group used for the named executive compensation peer group for 2025 (see page 68 for a list of the peer companies and a discussion of the selection process).

Corporate Governance – Director Compensation
Building equity ownership
Pembina has director share ownership requirements because we believe directors should be aligned with the interests of shareholders and show their commitment to Pembina by owning equity.
Non-executive directors must own three times their annual board retainer in Pembina equity. Common shares and DSUs (including the DSUs they accrue as dividend equivalents) can be used to meet the share ownership requirement.
New directors must meet the share ownership requirement within five years from the date of their appointment. The table below shows the equity holdings of non-executive directors as of March 19, 2026. As of that date, all current directors were in compliance with, or on track to meet, their respective share ownership requirement.
As at March 19, 2026, non-executive directors as a group beneficially owned, directed or controlled 210,722 common shares and 346,592 DSUs with a combined value as of March 19, 2026 of $34,177,452.

Letter from the Chair of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee
|
|
|
On behalf of the human resources and compensation committee and the board, we welcome the opportunity to discuss Pembina’s 2025 corporate performance and executive compensation. In the compensation discussion and analysis that follows, we provide detailed information on our 2025 executive compensation for our named executive officers, which is based on achieving annual and multi-year targets to advance our longer-term corporate strategy.
An overview of 2025
In 2025, our performance and results directly impacted the compensation approved for the named executives. Strong performance during the year resulted in above-target achievements on our board-approved STIP performance targets. The significant contributions from our team calculated to a STIP multiplier of 150%. Notable highlights include adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA)1 of $4.3 billion, record adjusted cash flow from operating activities and record Pipelines and Facilities throughput volumes with an excellent safety and environmental performance record. The team secured significant contract renewals on the Peace, Alliance, and Nipisi Pipelines, invested $1.2 billion on major projects and sustaining capital and progressed key projects which extend our capacity and efficiencies, including the RFS IV Fractionation Expansion Project, Wapiti Gas Plant Expansion, and K3 Cogeneration Facility. We also continued to diversify our Pembina store by fully contracting our Cedar LNG capacity to third parties and advancing a major power supply opportunity to the proposed Greenlight Electricity Centre which catalyzes our existing infrastructure in the Fort Saskatchewan industrial heartland. Additionally, significant enhancements were made to our internal succession planning framework, career development and employee internal mobility (details regarding our short-term incentive plan can be found on page 74). | |
Pembina’s 2023 PSU awards were based solely on relative total shareholder return (TSR) and vested at a performance multiplier of 0.2x due to our tenth-place ranking within Pembina’s 2023 relative performance peer group. While this outcome demonstrates our program’s strict adherence to relative performance standards, it did not fully capture our solid absolute three-year TSR of 34.6% and strong adjusted EBITDA growth over the same period. To ensure our compensation program provides a more balanced reflection of our overall corporate performance, we introduced a second performance metric, adjusted EBITDA (excluding Marketing) per share growth, for 2024 and subsequent PSU grants. This change strengthens our pay-for-performance alignment and ensures that our leadership team remains appropriately incentivized to achieve strategic objectives and drive long-term value for shareholders on both an absolute and relative basis (further details about our PSU awards are available on page 76).
Compensation program design
We review Pembina’s executive and director compensation philosophy and practices every year with assistance from an independent external consultant. Pembina’s executive compensation program is designed to:
| ● | Link pay and performance by rewarding executives for the achievement of short- and long-term goals |
| ● | Provide a competitive compensation package to attract, engage and retain executives |
| ● | Build equity ownership |
| ● | Align the interests of executives with shareholders interests |

Executive Compensation – Letter from the Committee Chair
2025 executive compensation decision
Pembina’s executive compensation is well aligned with our peer group. As such, changes to senior officers’ incentive targets and base salary increases maintained market competitive positioning. In 2024, we introduced a second performance metric of adjusted EBITDA (excluding Marketing) per share growth in our PSU plan which provides a clear line of sight between the achievement of our short- and long-term goals, and reward opportunities, significantly enhancing the alignment of compensation with corporate strategy. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance pay-for-performance alignment, starting in 2025 stock options were no longer granted as part of the named executives’ annual total target direct compensation and there was a corresponding increase in the weighting on restricted share unit (RSU) grants from 30% to 40% of our long-term incentive mix. These adjustments ensure a market competitive opportunity while increasing the retention value of awards.
CEO compensation: lookback
The committee assesses how effectively our executive compensation program aligns compensation with corporate strategy and performance by comparing what the CEO was awarded in each of the past three years with what those amounts are worth over time. The table below shows the target compensation for Mr. Burrows from 2023 to 2025 and the realized and realizable value of awards granted as of December 31, 2025.
A significant portion of the compensation our CEO earns is the direct result of our share price performance on the value of long-term incentives and is paid out over the respective performance periods. The table also compares the value to the CEO for each $100 of compensation awarded to the value earned by our shareholders over the same period. These values are indexed at $100 to provide a more meaningful comparison. While the 2025 CEO compensation reflected strong corporate performance and resulting STIP payout, the realizable compensation remains fully aligned with the shareholder value. This alignment is demonstrated by the PSU performance factor of 0.2x for the 2023 PSU grants, which significantly reduced the fully realized 2023 compensation to reflect relative TSR performance.

| • | the value at December 31, 2025 of unrealized long-term incentive awards granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025 (RSUs and PSUs outstanding, RSUs and PSUs accrued as dividend equivalents to the end of the year, and in-the-money stock options for the respective grant years), including vested and unvested securities. We have estimated the realizable value of the unvested PSU grants assuming PSUs vest at target. |
Shareholders includes:
| • | the value of TSR is the change in the 20-day volume weighted average trading price at the beginning and end of the period, plus the value of dividends accrued as dividend equivalents during the period. |

Compensation Governance and Strategy |
Compensation oversight
The board has ultimate responsibility for compensation at Pembina.
The human resources and compensation committee assists the board in establishing and overseeing director and executive compensation, pension and benefit plan design, CEO performance goals and assessment and succession planning. See page 53 for information about the committee, its responsibilities and activities in 2025.
Five independent directors sit on the human resources and compensation committee, and the average committee member tenure is 4.7 years.
| The table below shows key areas of experience relevant to the committee’s mandate, and the specific expertise of the current members of the committee. The committee has the experience, skills and qualities necessary to ensure the committee’s mandate is carried out effectively. You can read about each of the committee’s members starting on page 17.
Managing compensation risk
The board is responsible for understanding the principal risks of our business and assessing the balance between risk and potential return to ensure we promote shareholder value over the long-term. We use a broad-based, systematic approach to identifying, assessing, reporting and managing the significant risks we face in our business and operations.
Within this context, the human resources and compensation committee reviews and recommends to the board our compensation program and practices to:
• align executive compensation with our short- and long-term goals;
• reflect financial, operating, ESG and share performance, dividend payments and individual accomplishments; and
• ensure that compensation aligns with the interest of our shareholders and encourages ethical behaviour. |

| This includes, among other things:
• understanding the impact of operating and share price performance over a five-year period to assess the effect of different performance scenarios on future incentive payouts; • using balanced measures, including quantitative and qualitative goals, to determine short-term incentive compensation; • incorporating time and performance vesting features in long-term incentives; • using target ranges for the annual and long-term incentive plans to ensure that grants are effectively linked to actual performance and not unduly influenced by one-time events; • capping the amount executives can receive under the STIP and share unit plan; and • having a balanced mix of short- and long-term compensation components to eliminate reliance on a single or a limited number of factors to determine potential awards and diversify potential reward scenarios. | ||||||

Executive Compensation – Compensation Governance and Strategy
The human resources and compensation committee has also adopted appropriate compensation governance measures to prevent risks that could have a material adverse effect on the company, which include:
| • | building a strong governance culture and ensuring effective oversight; |
| • | implementing share ownership guidelines and retention periods; |
| • | prohibiting executives and directors from hedging equity awards and building in safeguards against insider trading; |
| • | applying a consistent compensation structure for the CEO, executives and employees; |
| • | implementing a clawback policy that aligns with legislative and regulatory requirements; |
| • | requiring the full board to review and approve compensation recommendations for the CEO and the senior officers; and |
| • | engaging an independent compensation consultant to complete a compensation risk assessment, looking at pay mix, incentive plan funding, leverage and caps, performance measures, pay for performance, quantum of incentives, plan governance and risk mitigation. |
The human resources and compensation committee also ensures our compensation plans and employee benefit programs are administered according to applicable laws and regulations and stock exchange policies, as well as our compensation objectives. The board has not identified any material risks in our compensation program or practices that might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the company.
Clawback policy
We recognize the importance of clawback provisions in promoting ethical conduct and strong compensation governance practices and introduced a clawback policy in 2015. In 2023, we revised our clawback policy in accordance with newly adopted rules of the SEC and corresponding listing standards of the NYSE.
Our clawback policy applies to all current and former “Executive Officers” (as such term is defined under the NYSE listing standards), and provides that if Pembina is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with applicable financial reporting requirements, the board must recover any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure that is received by current and former Executive Officers during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the company concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, a restatement is required. The amount Pembina must recover is the amount exceeding the amount the Executive Officer would have received during the applicable period had the incentive-based compensation been determined based on the restated financial statements, on a pre-tax basis. Recovery under our clawback policy is on a “no fault” basis (i.e., an Executive Officer is still subject to clawback even if such person had no responsibility for the errors which required the restatement).
Furthermore, in connection with an accounting restatement, our clawback policy gives the board additional discretion to recover incentive or equity-based compensation in circumstances beyond those strictly required by the applicable rules described above, including if the board finds that the Executive Officer has committed fraud, breached his or her fiduciary duties or engaged in willful or reckless misconduct.
A copy of our clawback policy has been filed as an exhibit to our 2025 annual report that has been filed with the SEC on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
Building equity ownership and retention
The human resources and compensation committee believes executive officers and directors should show their commitment to Pembina by owning equity in the company and therefore we have share ownership requirements for our directors and executive officers. See page 57 to read about our share ownership requirements for directors and page 67 for our share ownership requirements for the named executives.
Anti-hedging
To keep officers and directors motivated to continue to build shareholder value, our insider trading and reporting policy prohibits them from speculating in Pembina securities to reduce the price risk associated with any Pembina shares or other securities they hold (including buying securities on margin, short selling, selling call options or buying put options).

Executive Compensation – Compensation Governance and Strategy
Continuous improvement
The human resources and compensation committee reviewed a number of executive compensation-related regulatory developments and emerging best practices in 2025, as part of its commitment to compensation best practices, and is once again providing shareholders with a say on pay advisory vote (see page 40 for information about our shareholder engagement and page 16 for more information on the say on pay advisory vote).
The human resources and compensation committee retained Willis Towers Watson (WTW) in February 2024 as its independent compensation consultant to review executive compensation and benefit programs and provide objective advice. WTW reports directly and exclusively to the committee, but may, at the committee’s direction, work cooperatively with management to review or prepare material for the committee to review.
The human resources and compensation committee takes WTW’s information and recommendations into consideration, but the committee’s decisions are its own responsibility.
WTW’s mandate in 2025 included a comprehensive review of director and executive compensation, including:
| • | preparing information about market trends and issues; |
| • | preparing information for our executive compensation and performance peer group; |
| • | preparing benchmark market data for director and executive officer compensation; |
| • | assessing the competitiveness of our compensation; |
| • | reviewing the design of our short- and long-term incentive plans; |
| • | preparing an update of the annual compensation risk assessment; and |
| • | attending each human resources and compensation committee meeting including an in-camera portion at each meeting post-appointment. |
The company’s independent compensation consultants were paid the following fees for 2024 and 2025:

| 3 | WTW was paid fees for services provided in 2024 and 2025. |
The human resources and compensation committee reviewed WTW against the following six factors and confirmed its independence for 2025:
| • | the other services WTW provides to Pembina; |
| • | WTW’s bills to Pembina as a percentage of WTW’s total revenues; |
| • | WTW’s policies and procedures to prevent conflicts of interest; |
| • | whether the WTW advisor has any business or personal relationships with a member of the human resources and compensation committee; |
| • | whether the WTW advisor, or their immediate family, own any Pembina shares; and |
| • | whether WTW or its advisor has any business or personal relationships with a Pembina executive. |
Management may retain other compensation advisors from time to time, if necessary.

Executive Compensation – Compensation Governance and Strategy
Our compensation strategy
Our executive compensation links corporate strategy, performance and compensation while building equity ownership. This approach motivates our executives, rewards our shareholders and keeps the focus on our long-term success.
We align pay with Pembina’s strategy and performance by:
| • | fostering a pay-for-performance philosophy whereby the majority of executive compensation is variable and linked to performance; |
| • | using performance measures that are directly tied to our corporate strategy; |
| • | linking the payout of our performance-based long-term incentive to our performance relative to our performance peer group; and |
| • | paying compensation out over time, to take into account the multi-year development horizons of our major energy infrastructure projects. |
See page 71 for information about the performance measures we use in our incentive plans and how these are linked to our short- and long-term goals.
We also review the program every year through third-party consultants to ensure it continues to support shareholder interests, continues to be effective, remains competitive relative to our peers, is fair and reasonable, motivates our current team and attracts new talent when needed.
Building equity ownership
As with directors, we have share ownership requirements for the CEO, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers to ensure their interests are aligned with the interests of shareholders and to demonstrate their commitment to the company. The CEO share ownership requirement is 5x annual base salary and in 2025, the share ownership requirements for the Chief Financial Officer and other senior officers increased from 2x to 3x annual base salary to strengthen alignment with the long-term interests of shareholders. The share ownership requirements for senior vice presidents are 2x annual base salary. At least 50% of the share ownership requirement must be satisfied in common shares. The CEO, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers are encouraged to use after-tax proceeds of RSUs to purchase common shares until such time they have met their respective share ownership requirement.
The CEO, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers are required to continue to meet their share ownership requirement for one year after leaving the company, except if their departure occurs as a result of a change of control, constructive dismissal or the death of such executive.
The following table shows the equity ownership requirements and the holdings of the named executives as of March 19, 2026. Each named executive either met or was on track to meet their share ownership requirement as of that date.

Compensation in line with our peers
To ensure executive compensation is fair and competitive, we benchmark compensation and performance against two peer groups.
| • | Compensation peer group — a group of companies with which we compete for talent, including some outside the energy infrastructure industry; used to set base salary, total cash compensation and total direct compensation. |
| • | Performance peer group — a group of companies with which we compete for investor capital; used to assess our relative corporate performance when paying out PSUs under our medium-term incentive plan and therefore is limited to energy infrastructure companies with similar operations. |
When choosing peer companies, we look for companies that are similar to us in size, scale and industry, while also considering corporate strategy, business objectives and participation in similar markets. In particular, we consider:
| • | Industry — we focus primarily on energy infrastructure/general infrastructure companies, as this ensures our performance and pay are competitive against leading companies we compete with directly. |
| • | Size/complexity — a multi-dimensional factor that includes financial measures such as revenue, market capitalization, total assets, enterprise value and EBITDA, as well as non-financial measures such as scope and complexity of operations, location of operations and business objectives. |
Target total direct compensation for our executives (salary plus incentives) is generally set at the 50th percentile of the compensation peer group, but the board can use its judgment to set targets between the 25th and 75th percentiles depending on the skill, competency and experience of each executive.
2025 peer groups
Compensation peer group
The 2025 compensation peer group used to set 2025 target compensation has 18 companies: six U.S. companies and 12 Canadian companies. In 2025, we reviewed the 2026 compensation peer group and added South Bow Corporation to ensure continued alignment of industry, size and complexity. There are no changes to the 2026 performance peer group.

Executive Compensation – Compensation Governance and Strategy
Compensation process
|
1 Recommend compensation plan design and competitiveness
|
> |
2 Establish performance goals |
> |
3 Recommend target total compensation |
> |
4 Assess corporate performance |
> |
5 Recommend and finalize incentive awards |
|
1. Recommend compensation plan design and competitiveness |
The human resources and compensation committee:
● carries out an annual benchmarking review of total compensation, with the help of its independent consultant; ● establishes and recommends to the board for approval a compensation peer group to use as a reference point for assessing compensation competitiveness; and ● establishes a performance peer group used as part of the performance vesting conditions for the PSUs under the long-term incentive plan.
Management reviews our compensation and benefits programs and makes recommendations to the human resources and compensation committee for review and approval. The committee recommends to the board any changes to the compensation program.
| |
|
2. Establish performance goals |
Management recommends to the human resources and compensation committee for review and recommendation to the board for approval:
● quantitative and qualitative corporate and individual performance goals for the STIP; and ● quantitative performance goals for the PSUs under the long-term incentive plan.
Performance goals include the core commercial, financial, safety, ESG and operational objectives in our strategic plan, which is prepared by the executives and approved by the board. This includes the CEO’s performance goals.
The committee reviews and, in conjunction with management, modifies as required, and recommends the performance goals to the board for approval.
| |
| 3. Recommend target total compensation |
The CEO makes recommendations to the human resources and compensation committee for target total compensation and compensation mix for each other senior officer. The committee, with input from its independent consultant:
● reviews the CEO’s compensation recommendations for other senior officers; ● determines target total compensation and compensation mix for the CEO; ● recommends to the board target total compensation and compensation mix for the year for the CEO and other executives; and ● determines if any plan changes are required.
| |
|
4. Assess corporate performance |
At the end of each year, management prepares an analysis of corporate performance against the approved performance goals. The human resources and compensation committee:
● reviews management’s analysis; ● consults with external advisors; ● reviews our performance against the performance peer group; ● considers the results in the context of market and economic conditions, extraordinary internal and market-related occurrences and other extenuating circumstances; and ● approves and recommends to the board the performance multipliers for the STIP and the PSU plan based on results.
| |
|
5. Recommend and finalize |
The CEO recommends short-term incentive awards for each other senior officer to the human resources and compensation committee, based on corporate and individual performance.
The human resources and compensation committee, with input from its independent consultant:
● reviews the CEO’s recommendations for the short-term incentive award for the other senior officers; and ● determines the CEO’s short-term incentive award and presents its recommendation to the board for approval. | |
|
While the short- and long-term incentive plans include specific calculations to determine compensation eligibility, the committee believes that the rigid application of fixed formulas can result in unduly high or low rewards. The human resources and compensation committee and the board can therefore use their judgment to respond to unexpected developments in the energy sector, unusual macro-economic disruptions, and market-related events to make compensation decisions it believes are appropriate, using the compensation peer group as a guideline. |

Executive Compensation – Compensation Governance and Strategy
Compensation mix
The human resources and compensation committee determines the mix of components every year based on its review of competitive data, consistent with our overall compensation philosophy and its own judgment.
The graphs below show the 2025 target total direct compensation mix for our CEO and an average for our other named executives, as determined by the human resources and compensation committee in January 2025. The short- and long-term incentives are at risk because their value is based on specific performance criteria and payout is not guaranteed.
For 2025, 88% of the CEO’s target total direct compensation and 79% of the average target total direct compensation for the other named executives was at risk, directly aligning corporate and individual performance with the interests of shareholders. To better align with shareholder value creation and strengthen the link between incentive awards and the achievement of strategic objectives, stock options were removed from Pembina’s compensation mix in 2025.

2025 Executive Compensation |
The board reviewed Pembina’s 2025 performance and the recommendations by the human resources and compensation committee, and approved the following decisions on executive pay.
This year’s incentive awards were based on our performance against targets that were set at the beginning of 2025. We did not adjust these targets during the year or make any adjustments to calculated results. You can read more about our compensation strategy starting on page 64.

Short-term incentive
Short-term incentive awards are granted based on our performance against annual corporate and individual objectives tied to our corporate strategy. Short-term incentive awards are established at a level that ensures a market competitive opportunity and vary depending on role responsibility.
The target award is calculated as a percentage of each named executive’s base salary. The table below shows the potential range of short-term incentive awards as of the end of 2025.

We calculate each award by multiplying the named executive’s short-term incentive target by their salary and performance multiplier (which is different for each named executive and can range from 0 to 2).
Each performance multiplier is calculated based on performance against goals that are set at the beginning of each year, using the weightings shown in the formula below.
| ● | corporate performance includes annual financial, commercial and operational goals from our strategic plan. Pembina incorporates ESG metrics into our STIP, including metrics related to safety, climate change, and stakeholder experience.

The human resources and compensation committee may use its judgment to adjust the performance multiplier up or down based on factors that are not captured in the formal measures. For example, a decision to complete a certain acquisition or business deal may have longer-term strategic benefits that are not captured in the short-term performance measures.

Long-term incentives are a key part of how we attract high performing executives in a highly competitive sector and motivate them to stay. They are designed to promote a proprietary interest in Pembina and encourage sustainable contributions that are more likely to maximize long-term shareholder value. They focus management on operating and financial performance, long-term shareholder value and our long-term goals.
Long-term incentives are granted based on each executive’s target total direct compensation as a percentage of base salary and are set using competitive market data about our performance peer group.
In a continued effort to ensure that our compensation programs are competitive, and provide incentives aligned to our strategic objectives, we have eliminated stock options as a long-term incentive mechanism. Effective 2025, stock options are no longer granted as part of the named executives’ annual target direct compensation and our long-term incentive mix now consists of 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs.

| 1 | We calculated the number of RSUs and PSUs granted by dividing the dollar amount granted by $54.05 per share (the weighted average trading price of our common shares on the TSX for the 20 trading days ending December 31, 2024). Value of long-term incentives may vary slightly due to rounding as share units are granted in whole units. |
Performance vesting conditions for PSUs granted in 2025
Performance period: January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2027
The 2025 PSUs will vest in 2027 based on two equally weighted metrics to ensure alignment with Pembina’s strategic priorities:
| ● | Relative TSR — three-year TSR compared to our performance peer group. TSR is tied to our strategic objectives and is a strong measure of our relative financial performance. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA (excluding Marketing) per share growth — based on the compound annual growth rate implied by the three-year average adjusted EBITDA (excluding Marketing) per share from 2025-2027. Target growth rates are not disclosed as they are considered proprietary. |
The board compares actual performance to the TSR of the performance peer group and internal metrics defined by the board, and uses a linear analysis to determine the performance multiplier, with the top rank equal to a 2x multiplier and the bottom rank equal to 0x multiplier. On rare occasions the board may modify the formula driven multiplier if in its judgment the resulting multiplier is not consistent with corporate performance, however the multiplier cannot exceed two times.

Executive Compensation – Compensation and Share Performance
|
|
The graph below shows the change in a $100 investment in Pembina common shares over the past five years (assuming all dividends are reinvested), compared to the same investment in the S&P/TSX Composite Index for the same period (assuming all dividends are reinvested). The graph also shows the total direct compensation awarded to our named executives each year and our adjusted cash flow from operating activities per share. Total direct compensation includes earned base salary, short-term incentive awards, and the grant value of long-term incentive awards. These are all indexed to $100 to provide a meaningful comparison.
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share has increased from $4.80 per share in 2021 to $4.91 per share in 20251. This 2% increase is due to accretive organic growth and acquisitions over the period. In addition, the overall increase in total direct compensation awarded to our named executives from 2021 ($20.9 million) to 2025 ($25.4 million) can be attributed to the alignment of the peer comparison for the role of the CEO, alignment of compensation closer to the median of the expanded compensation peer group approved for 2024 and 2025 and higher incentive awards due to strong corporate performance in 2025. See pages 70 and 71 for further details.
Pembina’s cumulative total return for the five-year period ending December 31, 2025 was 132% compared to the index return of 111%. Please note that the returns in the chart cannot be directly compared to TSR shown on page 80 which is calculated over the PSU three-year performance period.

Pay for performance
The graph below compares our adjusted EBITDA per common share for the past five years to the total direct compensation awarded to the named executives, on an aggregate and per common share basis, as well as on a per common share basis as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA per common share. The graph shows a generally positive increase in adjusted EBITDA per common share from 2021 to 2025 and total direct compensation paid to the named executives, per common share as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA per share, remained relatively flat during the same time period from 2021 (0.64%) to 2025 (0.59%). While actual compensation levels increased over the five-year period to align salaries closer to the median of the compensation peer group and to reward stronger corporate performance from 2021 to 2025, the overall compensation growth remained proportional to our adjusted EBITDA performance — see pages 70 and 71 for further details.

| 1 | Total base salary earned as of December 31 each year. |
| 2 | Share-based awards |
| • | The amount for 2025 represents the fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted to the named executives for 2025. We calculated the number of RSUs and PSUs granted by dividing the dollar amount granted by $54.05 per share (the weighted average trading price of our common shares on the TSX for the 20 trading days ending December 31, 2024). Value of the awards may vary slightly due to rounding as share units are granted in whole units. |
| • | The RSUs granted in 2025 are scheduled to vest 1/3 per year, on December 31 of 2025, 2026 and 2027. The amount the named executives will receive in cash depends on the trading value of our common shares at the time of vesting. |
| • | The PSUs granted in 2025 are scheduled to vest on December 31, 2027 as long as the performance vesting criteria have been met. |
| • | The number of PSUs that vest, and the payout the named executives receive, will depend on our performance against the performance vesting criteria and can range from 0 to 200% and the trading value of our common shares at the time of vesting. If the performance criteria are not met and the board decides that no PSUs will vest, the payout could be $0. |
| • | Payouts of RSUs and PSUs are increased by the amount they earn in dividend equivalents (in the form of dividend units). See page 77 for information about RSUs and PSUs. |
| 3 | Starting in 2025 stock options were no longer granted as part of the named executives’ annual total target direct compensation. Historically we calculated the number of options granted based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This approach is consistent with the majority of companies in our peer group and is sensitive to the assumptions used. |
| 4 | Short-term incentive awards earned for the year but paid in the following year. |
| 5 | Includes all compensation related to our pension plans. The amount includes service costs and other compensatory items in the defined benefit plan, including plan changes and earnings that are different from the estimated earnings. See page 93 for information about our pension plans. |
| 6 | Includes the actual costs incurred by Pembina related to a car allowance, the Pembina group savings plan match, which provides up to 5% of annual salary on a matching basis, and parking. Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Loduca retired from their respective roles effective December 31, 2025 and neither received incremental compensation related to their retirement. |

Pension plan benefits
Pension plan
All full-time employees are enrolled in the Pembina Pension Plan (the pension plan), which is registered under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Employment Pension Plans Act (Alberta). The Income Tax Act (Canada) limits the amounts that can be contributed and paid out under the pension plan. We also offer a supplementary retirement plan available only to eligible employees. You can find more information about these plans in Note 20 to our 2025 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which can be found on our website (www.pembina.com), on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
The pension plan includes a defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan. Eligibility and contribution levels are based on a point system calculated on January 1 of each calendar year by adding the participant’s age and the number of years of permanent service with Pembina. Prior to January 1, 2021, those with fewer than 50 points were in the defined contribution plan and those with 50 points or more were in the defined benefit plan.
Effective January 1, 2021, Pembina revised the eligibility requirements for the defined benefit plan. Employees whose age plus years of service was 40 points at January 1, 2021 were given a one-time opportunity to remain in the defined contribution plan or move to the defined benefit plan when they reach 50 points. All other employees will remain in the

Executive Compensation – 2025 Executive Compensation Details
defined contribution plan. Newly appointed executives will be given the choice of participating in either the defined benefit or defined contribution plan.
Early retirement starts at age 55 and normal retirement at age 65.
Defined contribution plan
Employees are not allowed to contribute to the defined contribution plan, and employees choose how they want to invest the money.
We contribute to the defined contribution plan for employees not otherwise eligible for the defined benefit plan as follows:
| • | 5% of the employee’s base earnings semi-monthly for employees with less than 40 points; and |
| • | 10% of the employee’s base earnings semi-monthly for employees greater than 40 points. |
Defined benefit plan
Employees are not allowed to contribute to the defined benefit plan. The basic benefit is 1.4% of the employee’s highest three-year average base salary in the final 120 months of employment multiplied by the employee’s defined benefit pensionable service. If the employee retires early, the pension benefit is reduced by 0.25% for each month before the employee turns 62.
Liabilities under the defined benefit plan are secured by financial assets that are segregated from our general assets and held in trust.
Supplementary retirement plan
Eligible employees can also earn supplementary benefits under our supplementary retirement plan. This plan is designed to provide benefits to employees beyond the limitations imposed by the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Liabilities under the supplementary plan are unsecured.

Executive Compensation – 2025 Executive Compensation Details
Severance Payment
We grant severance payments to the named executives for:
| ● | termination without cause; |
| ● | constructive dismissal; and |
| ● | failure to provide a comparable position and duties and same or comparable compensation and benefits after a change of control (within 90 days of the effective date of the transaction). |
These events are defined in the employment agreements. Under these circumstances, executives are entitled to receive a severance payment equal to the notice period specified in the executive’s contract (two years for all named executives) multiplied by the sum of the executive’s:
| ● | salary for the current year; |
| ● | another 20% of current salary (in lieu of employment benefits and certain other payments); and |
| ● | the simple average of annual short-term incentive awards for the past three years. |
An executive entitled to severance payment can choose to receive the full amount in a lump sum within 30 days of their termination date, or in two equal payments over two years. Payments will not be reduced by any amounts the executive earns after leaving.
The employment agreements include standard confidentiality provisions, and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions for varying time periods. As a condition of payment of the severance payment, an executive is required to deliver a release in favour of the company from any further obligation or liability and agreeing to maintain their share ownership requirements for one year from the termination date.
| How we define change of control
The definition of change of control is different for the executive employment agreements, the share unit plan and the stock option plan.
Executive employment agreements
One of the following:
● acquisition of 50% or more of our issued and outstanding voting securities; ● sale of more than 50% of our net assets; ● an acquisition requiring shareholder approval; ● dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the company; ● change in the composition of our board following a contested election of directors or a meeting of our shareholders with an item of business related to director election or another transaction, when the directors before the event no longer constitute a majority of directors after the event; or ● another comparable event, as determined by the board.
Share unit plan
One of the following:
● acquisition of 50% or more of our issued and outstanding voting securities; ● sale of more than 50% of our net assets; ● an acquisition requiring shareholder approval; ● dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the company; ● the majority of directors step down from the board; or ● another comparable event, as determined by the board.
Note that change of control payments under the share unit plan are subject to a “double trigger”, which means payments are made only if the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other executive officers are not offered continued employment on comparable terms following a change of control.
Stock option plan
One of the following:
● completion of a merger, amalgamation or an arrangement; ● sale of all or substantially all our assets and undertakings; ● the company becoming subject to a takeover bid; or ● another comparable transaction.

Stock option plan
The stock option plan was introduced in 2011 and amended in 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2023. In February 2020, the board approved an amendment to the plan to allow for immediate vesting of options in the event of death for all eligible employees. In August 2022, the board approved an amendment to the plan to allow for options to be exercised on a net settlement basis to reduce share dilution, and in August 2023, the board approved an amendment to provide clarity on the treatment of stock options upon termination. None of these amendments required shareholder approval.
Since 2021, we have reduced the number of stock options granted on an annual basis, first by limiting stock option grants to senior and executive officers only. In 2025, stock option grants ceased and are no longer granted as part of annual compensation for any employees. Stock options may be granted for specific one-time grants when and if required.
| Plan administration |
The stock option plan is administered by our board.
Pembina grants awards based on rules and decisions made by the board, including when options are granted, when they vest and when they expire. | |
| Eligibility |
All employees. | |
| Award |
Options to buy common shares.
Options cannot be assigned or transferred. | |
| Shares reserved and available |
38,000,000 common shares have been reserved for issue under the plan (6.5% of 581,068,405 issued and outstanding common shares as at December 31, 2025). We have issued 20,818,902 common shares for option exercises under the plan since its inception in 2011 and a further 7,570,608 options were surrendered in connection with net settlement exercises of common shares. Therefore, there are 9,610,490 common shares remaining for future issuance (1.65% of issued and outstanding common shares as at December 31, 2025). Out of the 9,610,490 common shares remaining for future issuance under the plan, 2,634,338 have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options. Accordingly, as at December 31, 2025, 6,976,152 options were available for issuance under the plan.
Shares reserved for options that are cancelled or expire are immediately re-reserved for the plan and available to issue in the future. Shares reserved for issuance and withheld from issuance under the net settlement option exercise method are not available to issue in the future and are removed from the reserve. | |
| Shares issuable and outstanding
Also see Note 21 to our 2025 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements |
As at December 31, 2025 there were 2,634,338 common shares issuable on the exercise of outstanding options granted under the stock option plan: ● exercise prices: from $26.83 to $50.46; ● average weighted exercise price: $41.99; ● expiration dates: from March 2026 to May 2031; and ● 0.45% of common shares outstanding. | |
| Granting and issuing stock options |
Starting in 2025, stock option grants ceased and are no longer granted as part of annual compensation for any employees. Stock options may be granted for specific one-time grants when and if required. | |
| Pembina Pipeline Corporation • 2026 Management Information Circular | 99 |
Executive Compensation – 2025 Executive Compensation Details
| Vesting, expiry and payout |
Vesting and expiry are determined by the board, but the expiry date cannot be more than seven years after the date the options were granted.
Historically, the board has granted options with a seven-year term that vest 1/3 each year over three years, beginning one year after the grant date.
Expiry can be extended by 10 business days if the options expire during or within 10 days of the end of a trading blackout.
Each option that vests can be used to buy one common share. | |
| Financial assistance |
The plan does not provide financial assistance to help participants exercise their options. | |
| Net settlement/cashless exercise |
A participant may exercise options on a net settlement basis and receive a number of common shares with a market value equal to the in-the-money value of such options at the time of exercise, rather than tendering the exercise price in cash and receiving a number of shares equal to the number of options exercised. The number of underlying common shares reserved for issue under the options exercised on a net settlement basis, and not the actual number of shares issued, will be deducted from the plan. | |
| Termination and change of control |
In the case of all terminations, except termination for cause (subject to the terms of the option grant, the certificate evidencing the options, or an employment agreement):
● unvested options expire immediately; and
● vested options can be exercised within 90 days of notice of termination or the last day of active employment (whichever is later).
In the case of a termination for cause:
● unvested options expire immediately; and
● vested options are forfeited.
On a change of control:
● option holders are granted the number of securities of the new issuer they would have received if their options to buy shares had been exercised immediately before the transaction, except when: ● the transaction does not provide for substitution or replacement of Pembina’s common shares; ● the board (acting reasonably) determines that a substitution or replacement of Pembina’s shares is not practicable or that it would result in adverse tax consequences for option holders; or ● the replacement securities are not (or will not be) listed and posted on a recognized stock exchange.
In these cases, outstanding options will fully vest and can be exercised at any time before the transaction is completed but, unless the board determines otherwise, conditional upon consummation of the transaction. Unexercised options will be forfeited and cancelled without compensation subject to the board’s discretion.
A change of control with respect to stock option plans is defined as one of the following:
● completion of a merger, amalgamation or an arrangement;
● sale of all or substantially all our assets and undertakings;
● the company becoming subject to a takeover bid; or
● another comparable transaction.
| |
| Limits |
Any one individual: 5% of the (non-diluted) issued and outstanding common shares (or 581,068,405 common shares as at December 31, 2025) at the grant date, less the aggregate number of common shares reserved for that individual under any other equity-based compensation arrangement.
All insiders (as a group): 10% of the (non-diluted) issued and outstanding common shares at the grant date, less the total number of common shares reserved for insiders under any other equity-based compensation arrangement.
Single-year limit
Individual insiders: same as individual limit, but excluding common shares issued to the insider under the stock option plan or any other equity-based compensation arrangement in the preceding one-year period.
All insiders (as a group): same as insider group limit, but excluding common shares issued to insiders as a group under the stock option plan or any other equity-based compensation arrangement in the preceding one-year period. | |

Executive Compensation – 2025 Executive Compensation Details
| Changing the plan |
The board can make changes to the plan without shareholder approval, but option holders must consent to any changes to outstanding awards that could affect them negatively.
The following changes require approval of a majority of shareholders:
● increasing the number (or percentage) of shares that can be issued through the plan;
● making a change that will reduce the exercise price of an outstanding option (including by cancelling and reissuing the option);
● extending the expiry date of an option (except to avoid a trading blackout period);
● adding new types of eligible participants;
● changing the plan to let participants transfer or assign options (other than to a family member, an entity controlled by the participant or their family member, a charity or for estate planning and settlement purposes), unless the changes are due to a change of control or to prevent dilution; and
● making changes to types of changes that can be made to the plan with and without shareholder approval.
Plan changes may also need to be approved by the applicable stock exchanges.
| |
| Anti-dilution provisions |
The plan includes standard provisions to prevent dilution if there is a change in our capital structure. | |
| Closing the plan |
The board can suspend or terminate the plan at any time. | |
Share unit plan
The share unit plan was introduced in 2010.
|
Plan administration |
The share unit plan is administered by our board.
Pembina grants awards based on rules and decisions made by the board, including:
● whether awards should be granted;
● when awards will be granted;
● who will receive awards;
● grant dates, performance and vesting periods;
● the fair market value of common shares;
● how the number of RSUs and PSUs granted will be determined;
● time, performance and other vesting conditions (including multipliers);
● setting, changing and rescinding plan and grant agreements, regulations and terms;
● interpreting the plan and any related grant agreements; and
● all other decisions needed to administer the plan.
The board can delegate its administrative duties to a committee, its members or our executive, or to agents or third-party administrators, if allowed by law and the board’s charter and subject to the plan’s rules and other restrictions. | |
| Changing the plan |
The board can make changes to the plan without shareholder approval but grant holders must consent to any changes that could affect them negatively.
At any time, the board may decide to:
● accelerate vesting related to all or a percentage of the RSUs or PSUs attached to an award;
● waive any term or condition attached to an award; or
● decide that a term or condition attached to an award has been satisfied before a change of control event occurred.
The board may also decide that payment and settlement will happen immediately or be effective immediately before (and conditional upon) the effective date of a change of control.
The board can also make changes to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights granted under the share unit plan as the result of a change of control event that affects our common shares.
Plan changes may also need to be approved by the applicable regulators. | |
| Closing the plan |
The board can suspend or terminate the plan at any time. | |

General Information
Non-GAAP and other financial measures
Throughout this circular, Pembina has disclosed certain financial measures and ratios that are not specified, defined or determined in accordance with GAAP and which are not disclosed in Pembina’s financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures either exclude an amount that is included in, or include an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, together with financial measures and ratios specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP, are used by management to evaluate the performance and cash flows of Pembina and its businesses and to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina’s financial performance to investors and analysts.
In this circular, Pembina has disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios: adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share and total direct compensation awarded to the named executives per common share as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA per common share. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. These measures and ratios should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, measures and ratios of Pembina’s financial performance or cash flows specified, defined or determined in accordance with GAAP, including revenue, earnings (loss) before income tax and earnings per share and cash flow from operating activities.
Except as otherwise described herein, these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific reconciling items may only be relevant in certain periods.
Total direct compensation awarded to the named executives per common share as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA per common share
Total direct compensation awarded to the named executives per common share as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA per common share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated by dividing total direct compensation awarded to the named executives per common share by adjusted EBITDA per common share.
Management utilizes total direct compensation awarded to the named executives per common share by adjusted EBITDA per common share as it believes the measure provides useful information to investors for comparing compensation paid by the company to its named executives relative to company performance.
Additional information
Additional information relating to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per common share and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, including disclosure of the composition of such non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, an explanation of how such non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide useful information to investors and the additional purposes, if any, for which management uses such non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, an explanation of the reason for any change in the label or composition of such non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios from what was previously disclosed and a quantitative reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure that is specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP, is contained in the “Non-GAAP & Other Financial Measures” section of the MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference in this circular. The MD&A is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca), EDGAR (www.sec.gov) and Pembina’s website (www.pembina.com).

|
Schedule A
| I. | GENERAL |
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has the responsibility to supervise the management of the business and affairs of Pembina Pipeline Corporation (“Pembina” or the “Corporation”) and to act in the best interests of the Corporation, including holders of the Corporation’s shares (the “Shareholders”). A fundamental objective of the Board is to enhance and preserve the amount of cash to be distributed to the Corporation’s Shareholders, to enhance and preserve the long-term value and success of the Corporation, to confirm that the Corporation meets its obligations on an ongoing basis and to confirm that Pembina operates in a safe and reliable manner. In performing its functions, the Board will, when required by law, consider the legitimate interests of its other stakeholders (such as employees, customers and communities).
The Board has responsibility for managing its own affairs and the stewardship of the Corporation, including constituting committees of the Board and determining director compensation. The Board oversees the systems of corporate governance and financial reporting and controls to satisfy itself that the Corporation reports adequate and fair financial information to Shareholders and engages in ethical and legal conduct.
The Board carries out its responsibilities with a view to the purpose of the Corporation. Its role is to support Pembina’s commitment to achieving its strategy, including its four strategic priorities:

| 3. | To meet global demand, we will transform and export our products. We will continue our focus on supporting the transformation of Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin commodities into higher margin products and enabling more coastal egress. |
| 4. | To set ourselves apart, we will create a differentiated experience for our stakeholders. We remain committed to delivering excellence for our four key stakeholder groups meaning that: |

| ● | Communities welcome us and recognize the net positive impact of our social and environmental commitment. |
| ● | Customers choose us first for reliable and value-added services. |
