Vermilion Energy Inc. announces $0.215 CDN cash dividend for April 15, 2015 payment date

CALGARY, March 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion") (TSX, NYSE: VET) is pleased to announce a cash dividend of $0.215 CDN per share payable on April 15, 2015 to all shareholders of record on March 31, 2015.  The ex-dividend date for this payment is March 27, 2015.  This dividend is an eligible dividend for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

As a reminder to Eligible Shareholders, the newly introduced Premium Dividend™ Component of our Premium Dividend™ and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") is effective for this March dividend payable on April 15, 2015.  Under the new Plan, Eligible Shareholders retain the option, under the Dividend Reinvestment Component, to reinvest their dividends in shares at an effective discount of 3% to the Average Market Price.  With the addition of the new Premium Dividend™ Component, Eligible Shareholders are offered the alternative option of receiving a premium cash payment equal to 101.5% of the reinvested dividends.  Shareholders who have not elected, or are not eligible to participate in the Plan will continue to receive their regular cash dividends in the usual manner.

To effect enrollment and participate in the Plan for the March dividend, a duly completed enrollment form must be received by Computershare Trust Company of Canada prior to 3:00 pm MST on March 24, 2015.  A registered Eligible Shareholder who was enrolled in the Previous DRIP will automatically be deemed to be a participant in the Dividend Reinvestment Component of the Plan, without any further action on their part. Beneficial owners of common shares (i.e., a holder of common shares that are not registered in the beneficial owner's name but are instead held through a broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee) are encouraged to contact their nominee holder to confirm enrollment and participation in either  the Dividend Reinvestment Component or the Premium Dividend™ Component of the Plan as procedures for enrollment and participation may vary.  

For more information on the Plan, defined meanings for capitalized terms above, eligibility restrictions and enrollment information and forms, among other details of the Plan, please refer to the complete copy of the Plan as well as a related series of Questions and Answers available on Vermilion's website at www.vermilionenergy.com (under the heading "Investor Relations" subheading "DRIP").
