Inter Pipeline Fund Successfully Renews $2.3 Billion of Revolving Credit Facilities

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Dec. 15, 2011) - Inter Pipeline Fund ("Inter Pipeline") (TSX:IPL.UN) announced today that it has successfully completed the renewal of two revolving credit facilities totaling $2.3 billion. The fully committed facilities consist of a $750 million credit facility at the Inter Pipeline Fund corporate level, and a $1.55 billion credit facility at the subsidiary Inter Pipeline (Corridor) Inc. level. Together these facilities provide significant liquidity and financial flexibility to support ongoing financial requirements.

"We are very pleased to renew over $2 billion in credit facilities on favourable terms and with strong support from our key lenders," commented Bill van Yzerloo, Chief Financial Officer of Inter Pipeline. "These committed long-term credit agreements eliminate any near-term refinancing risk associated with maturing facilities and further strengthen our ability to finance current growth opportunities at attractive rates."

Inter Pipeline successfully closed the five year, $750 million revolving credit facility with a group of nine Canadian and international lenders on December 5, 2011. The facility has an initial maturity date of December 5, 2016, but can be extended under certain conditions. Renewal terms were more favourable than those of Inter Pipeline's previous credit facility, reflecting Inter Pipeline's substantial growth over the last five years and successful execution of its business plan. The facility is available for ongoing growth initiatives and will be the primary source of financing for the pending DEOT bulk liquid storage acquisition in Denmark, which is expected to close in early 2012.

Inter Pipeline (Corridor) Inc.'s $1.55 billion revolving credit facility closed today with a group of fifteen Canadian and international lenders. The four year facility has an initial maturity date of December 15, 2015, but can be extended under certain conditions. This new bank arrangement will be primarily used to support Corridor's successful Canadian commercial paper program. The Corridor pipeline system is commercially operated under a cost of service contract with the Corridor shippers and as such, all interest and other costs associated with this facility are recovered from the shippers.
