THE CORPORATION

TCC was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act on February 25, 2003 in connection with a plan of arrangement which established TCC as the parent company of TransCanada PipeLines Limited (“TCPL”). All of the outstanding common shares of TCPL are owned by TCC.

We operate in three core businesses - Natural Gas Pipelines, Liquids Pipelines and Energy. Under this structure, we operate under five operating segments, Canadian Natural Gas Pipelines, U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines, Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines, Liquids Pipelines and Energy, which provides information that is aligned with how decisions about business segments are made and performance is assessed. We also have a non-operational Corporate segment consisting of corporate and administrative functions that provide governance and other support to our operational business segments.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON SHARES

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, of which approximately 871,088,413 were issued and outstanding as of June 22, 2017. The following description of the Common Shares is a summary of certain of their material attributes and characteristics.

The Common Shares entitle the holders thereof to one vote per share at all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of another specified class of shares are entitled to vote, and, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the first preferred shares (“First Preferred Shares”) and second preferred shares of the Corporation, whether as a class or a series, and to any other class or series of shares of TCC which rank prior to the Common Shares, entitle the holders thereof to receive: (i) dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of TCC out of the assets of TCC properly applicable to the payment of the dividends in such amount and payable at such times and at such place or places as the board of directors of TCC may from time to time determine; and (ii) the remaining property of TCC upon a dissolution.

The Corporation has a shareholders’ rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) that is designed to encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any takeover bid for the Corporation. Rights issued under the Rights Plan become exercisable when a person (subject to certain exceptions), and any related parties, acquires or announces the intention to acquire 20% or more of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Shares without complying with certain provisions set out in the Rights Plan or without approval of the board of directors of the Corporation. Should such an acquisition occur, each rights holder, other than the acquiring person and related parties, will have the right to purchase Common Shares essentially at a 50% discount to the market price at that time. For further particulars, reference should be made to the Rights Plan, a copy of which may be obtained on request without charge from the Corporate Secretary of TCC, 450 - 1st Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 5H1 (telephone (403) 920-2000).

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may offer and sell the Common Shares: (i) through underwriters purchasing as principals; or (ii) through agents. The sale of Common Shares may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at non-fixed prices pursuant to transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions”, including sales made directly on the TSX or NYSE or other existing trading markets for the Common Shares, and as set forth in a Prospectus Supplement for such purpose.

The Prospectus Supplement relating to each offering of Common Shares will identify each underwriter or agent, as the case may be, and will also set forth the terms of that offering, the proceeds to the Corporation, any underwriters’ or agents’ fees, commissions or other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, and any concessions or discounts allowed or re-allowed or paid by any underwriters to others. Only underwriters or agents so named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters or agents, as the case may be, in connection with the Common Shares offered thereby.

If underwriters purchase Common Shares as principal, the Common Shares will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase those Common Shares will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Common Shares offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of such Common Shares are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid may be changed from time to time.

Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the Common Shares pursuant to a particular Prospectus Supplement will be named, and any commissions payable by us to that agent will be set forth, in such Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any agent would be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

In connection with the sale of the Common Shares, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us in the form of commissions, concessions or discounts. Any such commissions may be paid out of our general funds or the proceeds of the sale of the Common Shares. Under agreements which may be entered into by us, underwriters and agents who participate in the distribution of Common Shares may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Those underwriters and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation incorporated under and governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act. Some of our directors and officers, and some of the experts named in this prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the U.S., and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of the Corporation’s assets which are held through subsidiaries, are located outside the U.S. We have appointed an agent for service of process in the U.S., but it may be difficult for holders of Common Shares who reside in the U.S. to effect service within the U.S. upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. It may also be difficult for holders of Common Shares who reside in the U.S. to realize in the U.S. upon judgments of courts of the U.S. predicated upon the Corporation’s civil liability and the civil liability of the directors and officers of the Corporation and experts under U.S. federal securities laws.

Table of Contents

We have been advised by our Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. We have also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, however, that there is real doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.

We have filed with the SEC, concurrently with our registration statement on Form F-10, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, we appointed TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. as our agent for service of process in the U.S. in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving us in a U.S. court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of Common Shares under this prospectus.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain material Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a resident of Canada or who is a non-resident of Canada of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Common Shares offered thereunder, including whether the payment of dividends will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may also describe certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Common Shares offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code).

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Common Shares is subject to various risks including risks inherent in the pipeline, energy and natural gas storage industries. You should consider carefully the risk factors contained in and incorporated by reference in this prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference) and those described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Common Shares.

Discussions of certain risks affecting us in connection with our business are provided in our annual and interim disclosure documents filed with the various securities regulatory authorities which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain matters relating to the issue and sale of the Common Shares will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, as to matters of Canadian law, and Mayer Brown LLP, as to matters of U.S. law. As to matters of Canadian law, Mayer Brown LLP will rely upon the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP.

Indemnification of Certain Persons

Section 124 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) and Section 6 of By-Law No. 1 of TransCanada Corporation (“TransCanada” or the “Registrant”) provide for the indemnification of directors and officers of TransCanada.  Under these provisions, TransCanada shall indemnify a director or officer of TransCanada, a former director or officer, and may indemnify an individual who acts or acted at TransCanada’s request as a director or officer or in a similar capacity of another entity (collectively, an “Indemnified Person”) against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Person in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding (other than in respect to an action by or on behalf of TransCanada to procure a judgment in its favor) in which the individual is involved because of that association with TransCanada or other entity, if the Indemnified Person fulfills the following two conditions: (a) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of TransCanada or in the best interests of such other entity as applicable and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.  In respect of an action by or on behalf of TransCanada or such other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, TransCanada, with the approval of a court, may indemnify an Indemnified Person against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she fulfills the conditions set out in clauses (a) and (b) of the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification from TransCanada in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her association with TransCanada or such other entity if he or she fulfills the conditions in clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph and was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

TransCanada maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with policy limits of U.S. $200,000,000 in the aggregate, subject to a deductible in respect of corporate reimbursement of U.S.$5,000,000 for each loss and a separate policy with a limit of U.S.$50,000,000 for non-indemnifiable losses only. Generally, under this insurance TransCanada is reimbursed for payments in excess of the deductible made under corporate indemnity provisions on behalf of its directors and officers, and individual directors and officers (or their heirs and legal representatives) are covered for losses arising during the performance of their duties for which they are not indemnified by TransCanada. Noteworthy exclusions from coverage are: claims arising from illegal acts, those acts which result in illegal personal profit, violation of any fiduciary duty under the United States of America Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, pollution damage (except for resultant shareholder actions), bodily injury, property damage or engineering professional services and claims brought by a director or officer against another director or officer or by TransCanada against a director or officer except for shareholder derivative actions not assisted in by a director or officer of TransCanada.

The foregoing is a description of the provisions of Section 124 of the CBCA and TransCanada’s By-Law No. 1 regarding indemnification of directors and officers of TransCanada and TransCanada’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect as of June 28, 2018.

Additionally, directors and officers of TransCanada are party to indemnity agreements with TransCanada pursuant to which TransCanada has agreed to indemnify such directors and officers from liability arising in connection with the performance of their duties. Such indemnity agreements conform with the provisions of the CBCA.
