CALGARY--(CCNMatthews - July 21) - AltaGas Income Trust ("AltaGas") announced 
that Enbridge Inc. has sold 11,650,000 Trust Units of AltaGas to a group of 
Canadian underwriters at a price of $19.75. This sale reduces Enbridge's 
interest in AltaGas from approximately 36% to 13%. The sale, excluding the 
over-allotment, will realize net proceeds to Enbridge of approximately $217 
million and will close on or about August 10.

In addition, the underwriters have been granted an over-allotment option to 
purchase an additional 1,747,500 Trust Units at the issue price of $19.75 per 
unit at any time up to 30 days after closing of the offering. Should the 
over-allotment option be taken up Enbridge's interest in AltaGas would be 
reduced to under 10%.

"We are very pleased with the strong market response and successful sale of 
our units by Enbridge," said David Cornhill, Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer of AltaGas. "Since Enbridge made its initial investment in AltaGas 
five years ago we have tripled our asset base and grown our market 
capitalization by six times to over one billion dollars. Enbridge has been a 
good investor and received very good returns on their investment. We are 
supportive of their disposition and are pleased with the opportunity to 
realize our full growth potential and deliver substantial unitholder value to 
an expanded unitholder base."

The underwriting syndicate was led by Scotia Capital Inc., CIBC World Markets 
Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, and included BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., National 
Bank Financial Inc., TD Securities Inc., Clarus Securities Inc., HSBC 
Securities (Canada) Inc., Canaccord Capital Corporation, FirstEnergy Capital 
Corp., and Peters & Co. Limited.
