Gibson Energy Inc. ("Gibsons" or the "Company"), (TSX:GEI), announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per common share to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2015 that is payable on October 16, 2015. This dividend is designated as an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Gibsons' dividends are subject to Canadian withholding tax.

Additionally, the Company announced today that its Board of Directors has suspended, until further notice, Gibsons' Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Stock Dividend Program commencing with the Company's next quarterly dividend, payable on October 16, 2015. In consideration of current equity market conditions, the Company believes the continuation of these dividend reinvestment programs results in unwarranted dilution of its shareholders. Shareholders currently enrolled in Gibsons' Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Stock Dividend Program will now receive cash dividends.
