CALGARY,
AB, Sept. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Enbridge
Inc. (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB) (Enbridge or the Company) today
announced it has closed its previously announced public offering
(the Offering) of common shares by a syndicate of underwriters led
by RBC Capital Markets and Morgan Stanley, together with BMO
Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets, National Bank Financial
Markets, Scotiabank, TD Securities as joint bookrunners. Enbridge
issued 102,913,500 common shares inclusive of 13,423,500 common
shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option. Gross proceeds from the Offering are
approximately CDN$4.6 billion.
Enbridge intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to
finance a portion of the aggregate cash consideration payable for
the purchase of local distribution company gas utilities in
the United States from Dominion
Energy, Inc. (the Acquisitions), the details of which were
announced in a news release issued by Enbridge on September 5, 2023.
The exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters
reduces, and further de-risks, Enbridge's future financing
requirements to fund the Acquisitions.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be
any sale of these securities, in any jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction.

Forward-looking statements have been included to provide potential

from Dominion Energy, Inc.
Although Enbridge believes these forward-looking statements
are reasonable based on the information available on the date such
statements are made and processes used to prepare the information,
such statements are not guarantees of future events and readers are

Enbridge's forward-looking statements are subject to risks

other risks and uncertainties disclosed in Enbridge's other filings
with Canadian and United States securities regulators.
The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular
forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as
these are interdependent and Enbridge's future course of action
depends on management's assessment of all information available at
the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law,
