TransCanada Corporation ("TransCanada" or the "Corporation") is hereby qualifying the distribution (the "Offering") of     •    subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts"), each of which will entitle the holder thereof to receive (i) automatically upon the closing of the Acquisition (as defined herein), without any further action on the part of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration, one common share ("Common Share") of the Corporation, and (ii) Dividend Equivalent Payments (as defined herein). See "Details of the Offering" and "Plan of Distribution".

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts (the "Escrowed Funds") will, from the Offering Closing Date until the earlier of the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice (as defined herein) and the Termination Time (as defined herein), be held in escrow by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") and invested pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined herein) in interest-bearing deposits with banks and other financial institutions with issuer credit ratings from S&P (as defined herein) of at least A, provided that Dividend Equivalent Payments may be made from the Escrowed Funds and the interest credited or received thereon from time to time, as described herein.

We are permitted, as a Canadian issuer under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States ("U.S."), to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. You should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the U.S. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which is referred to as "U.S. GAAP".

Owning the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Subscription Receipts may have tax consequences for you both in Canada and the U.S. This prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion under "Certain Canadian Income Tax Considerations" and "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this prospectus.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely because we are incorporated or organized under the laws of Canada, some or all of our officers and directors may be residents of Canada, some or all of the experts named in this prospectus may be residents of Canada and a substantial portion of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those officers, directors and experts may be located outside of the U.S.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The fee payable to the Underwriters (as defined herein) is payable as to 50% on the Offering Closing Date and 50% upon the closing of the Acquisition. In the event the Escrowed Funds are refunded to purchasers following the Termination Time, the fee payable to the Underwriters will consist solely of the amount payable on the Offering Closing Date.

On March 17, 2016, TransCanada PipeLines Limited ("TCPL"), TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. ("TransCanada Holdco") and Taurus Merger Sub Inc. ("Merger Sub"), all direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation, and the Corporation (for the limited purposes of providing representation and warranties, pursuing regulatory approvals and obtaining the financing for the Acquisition), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Columbia Pipeline Group Inc. ("Columbia"), pursuant to which TCPL, indirectly through TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub, agreed to acquire Columbia through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Columbia (the "Acquisition") for a purchase price of approximately U.S.$10.25 billion (the "Purchase Price") in cash, which will be funded in part, directly or indirectly, from the net proceeds of the Offering. The Purchase Price together with approximately U.S.$2.75 billion of assumed debt constitutes a total transaction value of approximately U.S.$13 billion. See "Acquisition of Columbia".

The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "TRP". On March 16, 2016, the closing prices of the Common Shares on such exchanges were $    •    and U.S.$    •    , respectively. There is no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Subscription Receipts purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Subscription Receipts in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Subscription Receipts and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".

It is currently anticipated that the closing date of the Offering (the "Offering Closing Date") will be on or about April 1, 2016, or such later date as the Corporation and the Underwriters may agree but in any event not later than April     •    , 2016. See "Details of the Offering".

Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged for one Common Share, without any further action required on the part of the holder of the Subscription Receipt and without payment of additional consideration, upon the closing of the Acquisition (the "Acquisition Closing Date"), which is expected to occur shortly after the later of the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period in connection with the Acquisition under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR Act"), receipt of Columbia Stockholder Approval (as defined herein), receipt of CFIUS Clearance (as defined herein) and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, provided that all such conditions are satisfied or waived on or prior to September 17, 2016 (the "Acquisition Outside Date"), subject to any extensions of the Acquisition Outside Date in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. See "Acquisition of Columbia — Merger Agreement".

While the Subscription Receipts remain outstanding, holders thereof will be entitled to receive payments per Subscription Receipt equal to the per Common Share cash dividends, if any, actually paid or payable to holders of Common Shares in respect of all record dates for such dividends occurring from the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the last day on which the Subscription Receipts remain outstanding, to be paid to holders of Subscription Receipts concurrently with the payment date of each such dividend on the Corporation's outstanding Common Shares, paid first out of any interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds and then out of the Escrowed Funds (any such payment, a "Dividend Equivalent Payment"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Subscription Receipts of record at the close on April 15, 2016 will be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of the $0.565 per Common Share dividend payable by TransCanada on April 29, 2016 to Common Share holders of record at the close on March 31, 2016 even though the Subscription Receipt


holders were not holders of record on the record date for such Common Share dividend. Any Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made net of any applicable withholding taxes.

In the event that the Termination Time occurs after a dividend has been declared on the Common Shares but before the record date for such dividend, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive, as part of the Termination Payment (as defined herein), a pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of such dividend declared on the Common Shares based on the ratio of the time between (i) the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the Offering Closing Date) and the Termination Time to (ii) the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the prior payment date for dividends on the Common Shares) and the dividend payment date for the dividend so declared. If the Termination Time occurs on a record date or following a record date but on or prior to the payment date, holders will be entitled to receive the full Dividend Equivalent Payment. See "Details of the Offering".

After the Acquisition Closing Date, the former holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled, as holders of Common Shares, to receive any dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation from time to time, and to vote and to all other rights available to holders of Common Shares. See "Description of Share Capital — Common Shares".

Provided that the Escrow Release Notice is provided to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Termination Time, the remaining Escrowed Funds (together with any remaining interest credited or received thereon), less any amounts required to satisfy any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments, will be released by the Escrow Agent to or as directed by the Corporation and will be used, directly or indirectly, to pay a portion of the Purchase Price or to repay a portion of the indebtedness incurred to finance a portion of the Purchase Price. See "Use of Proceeds".

If the Escrow Release Notice is not delivered on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on March 17, 2017 (the "Outside Date"), or if the Merger Agreement is terminated or the Corporation advises the Underwriters or announces to the public that TCPL does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition at any earlier time (such termination, advising or announcement being a "Termination Event", and the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the Outside Date without the Escrow Release Notice having been delivered, and (ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event being the "Termination Time"), the Escrow Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, commencing on the third business day following the Termination Time, the Termination Payment. The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, including from remaining interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, is insufficient to cover the full amount of the Termination Payment, under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, TransCanada will be required to pay to the Escrow Agent as agent on behalf of holders of Subscription Receipts the deficiency, if any, between the amount of Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. See "Details of the Offering".

RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"), as principals, conditionally offer the Subscription Receipts, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Corporation and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under "Plan of Distribution", and subject to the approval of certain legal matters relating to Canadian law on behalf of the Corporation by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP and certain legal matters relating to United States law on behalf of the Corporation by Mayer Brown LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.

Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the Underwriters reserve the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice. Book entry only certificates representing the Subscription Receipts will be issued in registered form to CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") or its nominee and will be deposited with CDS on the Offering Closing Date. A purchaser of Subscription Receipts will receive only a customer confirmation from a registered dealer which is a CDS participant and from or through which the Subscription Receipts are purchased. See "Depository Services".

Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with the Offering, over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subscription Receipts at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. The Underwriters propose to offer the Subscription Receipts initially at the offering price specified above. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Subscription Receipts at the price specified, the Underwriters may reduce the selling price to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the Subscription Receipts remaining unsold. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation. See "Plan of Distribution".

Investing in the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable upon the exchange thereof involves certain risks. See "Risk Factors".

Each of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc. is a subsidiary or an affiliate of a lender to the Corporation or its subsidiaries and to which the Corporation or its affiliates is currently or will be indebted. See "Acquisition of Columbia — Financing of the Acquisition". Consequently, the Corporation may be considered a connected issuer of the Underwriters for the purposes of securities regulations in certain provinces and territories of Canada. The proceeds from the Offering may be used to reduce the Corporation's indebtedness to such lenders incurred in connection with the Acquisition. See "Relationship Between the Corporation and the Underwriters", "Use of Proceeds" and "Plan of Distribution — Conflicts of Interest".

The Corporation's head office and registered office is located at 450 - 1st Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 5H1.

Messrs. Lowe and Richels and Mses. Reynolds and Salomone are directors of the Corporation who reside outside of Canada and each of these directors has appointed the Corporation as agent for service of process at 450 - 1st Street, S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 5H1. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person who resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

   

The date of this Prospectus is                                   , 2016.

SUMMARY

        The following information is a summary only and is to be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

TransCanada

        We operate our business in three segments: Natural Gas Pipelines, Liquids Pipelines and Energy. Natural Gas Pipelines and Liquids Pipelines are principally comprised of our respective natural gas and oil pipelines in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico as well as our regulated natural gas storage operations in the U.S. Energy includes our power operations and the non-regulated natural gas storage business in Canada. See "The Corporation".

The Acquisition

        On March 17, 2016, the Corporation announced that the Corporation, TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub had entered into an agreement to acquire Columbia through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Columbia for a Purchase Price of approximately U.S.$10.25 billion, which, together with approximately U.S.$2.75 billion of assumed debt, constitutes a total transaction value of approximately U.S.$13 billion. The Acquisition is expected to close shortly after the later of the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period in connection with the Acquisition under the HSR Act, receipt of Columbia Stockholder Approval, the receipt of CFIUS Clearance and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, provided that this date occurs on or prior to the Acquisition Outside Date, subject to any extensions of the Acquisition Outside Date in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. See "Acquisition of Columbia — Merger Agreement".

Columbia

        Columbia owns approximately 15,000 miles (24,140 kilometres ("km")) of strategically located interstate natural gas pipelines extending from New York to the Gulf of Mexico and one of the U.S.'s largest underground natural gas storage systems, with approximately 296 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") of working gas capacity, as well as related gathering and processing assets. For the year ended December 31, 2015, 94.6% of Columbia's revenue, excluding revenues generated from cost recovery under certain regulatory tracker mechanisms, was generated under firm revenue contracts. See "Columbia".

Acquisition Rationale

        Columbia's assets include one of the largest interstate natural gas pipeline systems in the United States, providing transportation, storage and related services to a variety of customers in the U.S. Northeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions. This extensive, competitively-positioned, growing network of regulated natural gas pipeline and storage assets in the Marcellus and Utica shale gas regions complements TransCanada's existing North American footprint (see "Columbia — Description of Columbia's Business"). According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, production in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions grew from approximately 2.7 Bcf/day of natural gas in 2010 to approximately 19.6 Bcf/day in 2015, and, according to IHS CERA, natural gas production in these regions is anticipated to grow to above 30 Bcf/day by the end of 2020. Combined, the 91,000 km (56,900 mile) natural gas pipeline system connects North America's fastest-growing supply basins to markets across the continent. The combination will result in 664 Bcf of storage capacity, including Columbia's system capacity of 296 Bcf. It will also leave TransCanada well positioned to transport North America's natural gas supply to liquefied natural gas terminals for export to international markets.

        TransCanada views this acquisition as a major part of a series of planned business changes, including the planned monetization of its U.S. Northeast merchant power business and of a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business (as described under "— Financing of the Acquisition") that, taken with the

Acquisition will significantly transform the Corporation's business and position it to generate significant growth, while maintaining its financial strength and flexibility. The highlights of this Acquisition include:

        See "Acquisition of Columbia — Acquisition Rationale" and "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Financing the Acquisition

        The Purchase Price and the expenses related to the Acquisition will be financed at the closing of the Acquisition, directly or indirectly, with a combination of some or all of the following: (i) net proceeds of the Offering, (ii) amounts drawn under the Acquisition Credit Facilities (as defined herein), and (iii) existing cash on hand and other sources available to the Corporation, including the planned monetization of the Corporation's U.S. Northeast merchant power assets and of a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business. See "Acquisition of Columbia — Financing the Acquisition" and "Consolidated Capitalization".

Selected Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information

        The following tables set forth certain selected historical consolidated financial information as at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and selected unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the year ended December 31, 2015.

        The historical financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, copies of which have been incorporated by reference in this prospectus and have been filed on our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of Columbia as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and which are attached to this prospectus in Annex A.

        The pro forma financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2015 and our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2015 which are attached to this prospectus in Annex A, reflecting in each case the Acquisition and certain other assumptions relating thereto, as described therein which are attached to this prospectus as Annex A. Pro forma adjustments assume that the Purchase Price and acquisition costs will be financed through proceeds from the sale of Subscription Receipts in the Offering, amounts drawn under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, and existing cash on hand and other sources available to the Corporation. The Acquisition Credit Facilities are intended to be repaid through the planned monetization of the Corporation's U.S. Northeast merchant power assets and of a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business. The impact of this expected repayment is not included in the unaudited pro forma financial information. Such unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's and Columbia's respective audited historical financial statements.

The Offering

Issuer:

 

TransCanada Corporation.

Amount:

 

Aggregate gross proceeds of $    •     ($    •    if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full).

Closing Date:

 

The Offering is currently expected to close on or about April 1, 2016, or such later date as the Corporation and the Underwriters may agree but in any event not later than April    •    , 2016.

Issue and Price:

 

    •    Subscription Receipts at an issue price of $    •    per Subscription Receipt.

Automatic Exchange:

 

Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive automatically, upon the closing of the Acquisition, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration, one Common Share of the Corporation.

Dividend Equivalent Payment:

 

Holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Payments in respect of, and paid concurrently with, any dividends on the Common Shares for which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the last day on which the Subscription Receipts remain outstanding.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Subscription Receipts of record at the close on April 15, 2016 will be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of the $0.565 per Common Share dividend payable by TransCanada on April 29, 2016 to Common Share holders of record at the close on March 31, 2016 even though the Subscription Receipt holders were not holders of record on the record date for such Common Share dividend.

 

In addition, in the event that the Termination Time occurs after a dividend has been declared on the Common Shares but before the record date for such dividend, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive, as part of the Termination Payment, a pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of such dividend declared on the Common Shares based on the ratio of the time between (i) the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the Offering Closing Date) and the Termination Time to (ii) the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the prior payment date for dividends on the Common Shares) and the dividend payment date for the dividend so declared. If the Termination Time occurs on a record date or following a record date but on or prior to the payment date, holders will be entitled to receive the full Dividend Equivalent Payment.

 

Any Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made first out of any interest that has been credited or received on the Escrowed Funds and then out of the Escrowed Funds, and will be paid net of any applicable withholding taxes.

 

See "Details of the Offering".

Use of Proceeds:

 

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will, from the Offering Closing Date until the earlier of the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and the Termination Time, be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and invested pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined herein) in interest-bearing deposits with banks and other financial institutions with issuer credit ratings from S&P of at least A, provided that Dividend Equivalent Payments may be made from the Escrowed Funds and the interest credited or received thereon from time to time, as described herein.

 

If the Escrow Release Notice is delivered prior to the Termination Time, the remaining Escrowed Funds (together with any remaining interest credited or received thereon), less any amounts required to satisfy any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments, will be released to, or as directed by, the Corporation and used, directly or indirectly, to pay a portion of the Purchase Price or to repay a portion of the indebtedness incurred to finance a portion of the Purchase Price.

 

See "Use of Proceeds".

Termination:

 

If the Escrow Release Notice is not delivered on or prior to the Termination Time or the Escrowed Funds are released pursuant to an Escrow Release Notice but subsequently returned to the Escrow Agent and no further Escrow Release Notice is delivered on or prior to the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, commencing on the third business day following the Termination Time, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate issue price of such holder's Subscription Receipts, plus (ii) any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments owing to such holder of Subscription Receipts (the "Termination Payment").

 

The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, including from interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, are insufficient to cover the full amount of the Termination Payment, TransCanada will be required, under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, to pay to the Escrow Agent as agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts the deficiency if any, between the amount of Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts.

 

See "Details of the Offering".

Tax Considerations:

 

You should be aware that the purchase of Subscription Receipts may have tax consequences both in Canada and the U.S. See "Certain Canadian Income Tax Considerations" and "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Risk Factors:

 

Investing in the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable upon exchange thereof involves certain risks which should be carefully considered by prospective investors. See "Risk Factors".

Conflicts of Interest:

 

As described in "Use of Proceeds", a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering may be used, directly or indirectly, to repay a portion of the indebtedness incurred to finance a portion of the Purchase Price. See "Use of Proceeds". As a result, one or more of the Underwriters or their affiliates may receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of the Offering in the form of the repayment of such indebtedness. See "Plan of Distribution — Conflicts of Interest".

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The financial statements of the Corporation incorporated by reference in this prospectus are reported in Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All financial information of Columbia included in this prospectus is reported in U.S. dollars and has been derived from audited historical financial statements of Columbia that were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The assets and liabilities of Columbia shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as at December 31, 2015 are reported in Canadian dollars and reflect the U.S. dollar-to-Canadian dollar period-end closing exchange rate. The revenues and expenses of Columbia shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2015 are reported in Canadian dollars and reflect the average U.S. dollar-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate for such period. Financial information in this prospectus that has been derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements has been translated to Canadian dollars on the same basis. Certain tables containing financial information in this prospectus may not add due to rounding.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

        Certain information presented, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus with respect to the Corporation and Columbia includes certain financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Prospective purchasers are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP-based audited consolidated financial statements.

10


        We use EBITDA as an approximate measure of pre-tax operating cash flow. It measures earnings before deducting financial charges, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to non-controlling interests and preferred share dividends, and includes income from equity investments.

        Adjusted EBITDA reflects an adjustment to TransCanada's EBITDA and pro forma EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $3,745 million related to (i) a non-cash impairment charge incurred by TransCanada of $3,686 million ($2,891 million after-tax) relating to Keystone XL and related projects, including the Keystone Hardisty Terminal, in connection with the November 6, 2015 denial of the U.S. Presidential permit, and (ii) a non-cash impairment charge incurred by TransCanada of $59 million ($43 million after-tax) relating to certain energy turbine equipment previously purchased for a power development project that did not proceed, each as recorded in the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2015. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for evaluating our historical and unaudited pro forma financial results, given the exceptional nature of these one-time asset impairment charges. See "Selected Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information — Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".


CAUTION REGARDING UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        This prospectus contains the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation comprised of the condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as at December 31, 2015 and the condensed and consolidated statement of income of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2015, giving effect to: (i) the Offering, assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option; (ii) the issuance of Common Shares upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts; (iii) the Acquisition Credit Facilities; and (iv) the completion of the Acquisition. Such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using certain of the Corporation's and Columbia's respective historical financial statements as more particularly described in the notes to such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. In preparing such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the Corporation makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness regarding the financial statements of Columbia that were used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to be indicative of the results that would actually have occurred, or the results expected in future periods, had the events reflected herein occurred on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon the finalization of the Purchase Price allocation under the Acquisition may differ from the amounts reflected in such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Since the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been developed to retroactively show the effect of a transaction that has or is expected to occur at a later date (even though this was accomplished by following generally accepted practice using reasonable assumptions), there are limitations inherent in the very nature of pro forma data. The data contained in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements represents only a simulation of the potential financial impact of the Corporation's acquisition of Columbia. Undue reliance should not be placed on such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. See "Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors".

11



RISK FACTORS

        An investment in the Subscription Receipts offered hereunder (and the Common Shares which they are expected to be exchanged for) involves certain risks. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, prospective purchasers of Subscription Receipts should consider carefully the risk factors set forth below.

Risks Related to the Subscription Receipts and Common Shares

         Subscription Receipt Structure

        The Subscription Receipts will be automatically exchanged for Common Shares upon the closing of the Acquisition. TCPL may, in its sole discretion, waive certain closing conditions in its favour in the Merger Agreement or agree to amend the Merger Agreement and consummate the Acquisition on terms that may be different from those described in this prospectus. As a result, the expected benefits of the Acquisition may not be fully realized. See "Acquisition of Columbia — Merger Agreement" in this prospectus. As a consequence, holders of Subscription Receipts will essentially assume the same risk as though they had invested directly in Common Shares on the Offering Closing Date.

         Market for Securities

        There is currently no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers of Subscription Receipts may not be able to resell the Subscription Receipts purchased under this prospectus. The price offered to the public for the Subscription Receipts and the number of Subscription Receipts to be issued have been determined by negotiations among the Corporation and the Underwriters. The price paid for each Subscription Receipt may bear no relationship to the price at which the Subscription Receipts may trade in the public market subsequent to this Offering. The Corporation cannot predict at what price the Subscription Receipts will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Subscription Receipts or, if developed, that such market will be sustained.

        Market Price

        The market price of the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Subscription Receipts may fluctuate due to a variety of factors relative to the Corporation's business, including announcements of new developments, fluctuations in the Corporation's operating results, sales of the Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Subscription Receipts in the marketplace, failure to meet analysts' expectations, public announcements made in regard to this Offering, the impact of various tax laws or rates and general market conditions or the worldwide economy. In recent years, stock markets have experienced significant price fluctuations, which have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Subscription Receipts will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Corporation's performance.

         Dividends

        Dividends on the Common Shares, and accordingly, the Dividend Equivalent Payment that may be receivable in respect of the Subscription Receipts, may fluctuate. The board of directors of the Corporation reviews the financial performance of the Corporation quarterly and makes a determination of the appropriate level of dividends to be declared in the following quarter. Currently, the Corporation's payment of dividends on the Common Shares is funded from dividends the Corporation receives as the sole common shareholder of TCPL. Provisions of various trust indentures and credit arrangements to which TCPL is a party restrict TCPL's ability to declare and pay dividends to the Corporation under certain circumstances and, if such restrictions apply, they may, in turn, have an impact on the Corporation's ability to declare and pay dividends on the Common Shares. In addition, the Corporation's ability to pay dividends following the Acquisition could be adversely affected if the free cash flow resulting from the Acquisition does not materialize as expected when coupled with the potentially dilutive effect of the additional Common Shares issued in exchange for the Subscription Receipts issued in this Offering.

12


         Monies in Escrow

        The proceeds of the Offering will be held in escrow pending delivery of the Escrow Release Notice or the occurrence of the Termination Time. There can be no assurance that the conditions for the release of the Escrowed Funds will be satisfied on or prior to the Termination Time.

        Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition prior to the Termination Time, the Escrowed Funds may be released to the Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement up to six Business Days prior to the anticipated closing of the Acquisition. There is a possibility, however, that after such release the Acquisition will not close prior to the Termination Time and in such event the Corporation will be contractually required to return the Escrowed Funds to the Escrow Agent. Additionally, the Dividend Equivalent Payments payable to Subscription Receipt holders will be paid from the Escrowed Funds and the interest credited or received thereon. If the balance of the Escrowed Funds, together with any interest received or credited, are insufficient to cover the full amount of the Termination Payment, TransCanada will be required, under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, to pay to the Escrow Agent as agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts the deficiency if any, between the amount of Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. In either case, holders of Subscription Receipts will be required to rely on the Corporation to repay such funds as sufficient amounts will no longer be held in escrow.

         Information provided by Columbia

        All information relating to Columbia in this prospectus is based on public filings by Columbia. Although the Corporation has conducted what it believes to be a prudent and thorough level of investigation in connection with the Acquisition, an unavoidable level of risk remains regarding the accuracy and completeness of such information.

         Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Financial Information

        The historical financial information relating to Columbia included in this prospectus, including such information used to prepare the pro forma financial information, has been derived on a historical basis from the historical accounting records of Columbia. The historical financial information may not reflect what Columbia's financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had the Corporation owned all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Columbia during the period presented or what the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows will be in the future. The historical financial information does not contain any adjustments to reflect changes that may occur in the Corporation's cost structure, financing and operations as a result of the Acquisition.

        In preparing the pro forma financial information in this prospectus, the Corporation has given effect to, among other items, the Offering and the completion of the Acquisition. The assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma financial information may be materially different from the Corporation's actual experience going forward. See "Caution Regarding Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Forward-Looking Information".

Risks Relating to the Acquisition

         Closing of the Acquisition

        It is expected that the Offering Closing Date will occur prior to the Acquisition Closing Date. The closing of the Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including that all waiting periods applicable to the Acquisition under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated, receipt of Columbia Stockholder Approval and receipt of CFIUS Clearance and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions. See "Acquisition of Columbia — Merger Agreement". TCPL intends to consummate the Acquisition within six Business Days of meeting such conditions. However, there can be no assurance that such conditions to the closing of the Acquisition will be satisfied on schedule or at all. As such, there is no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed or, if completed, will be on the terms disclosed in this prospectus. If the Escrow Release Notice is not delivered on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the Outside Date or if a Termination Event occurs, the Escrow Agent will return or pay, as applicable, the Termination Payment to each holder of Subscription Receipts, and if, after such Termination Payment, there is any interest remaining, the Escrow Agent

13


shall pay such remaining interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds to the Corporation. Accordingly, holders of Subscription Receipts would not participate in any growth in the trading price of the Common Shares and would be restricted from using the funds devoted to the purchase of the Subscription Receipts for any other investment opportunities until such funds are returned. See "Details of the Offering".

        A substantial delay in obtaining regulatory approvals or the imposition of unfavourable terms and/or conditions in such approvals could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's ability to complete the Acquisition and on the Corporation's or Columbia's business, financial condition or results of operations.

        In addition, in the event that regulatory agencies impose unfavourable terms and/or conditions on the Corporation or Columbia (such as a requirement to sell or divest of certain assets or limitations on the future conduct of the combined entities), the Corporation may still be required to complete the transaction on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.

         Unexpected Costs or Liabilities Related to the Acquisition

        Although the Corporation conducted what it believed to be a prudent and thorough level of investigation in connection with the Acquisition, an unavoidable level of risk remains regarding any undisclosed or unknown liabilities of, or issues concerning, Columbia. Following the Acquisition, the Corporation may discover that it has acquired substantial undisclosed liabilities. In addition, the Corporation may be unable to retain existing Columbia customers or employees following the Acquisition. Following the closing of the Acquisition, the Corporation will have no right to claim indemnification under the Merger Agreement for any such events. The existence of undisclosed liabilities, the Corporation's inability to retain existing Columbia customers or employees and the inability to claim indemnification could, however, have an adverse impact on the Corporation's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

        Although the Merger Agreement contains covenants on the part of Columbia regarding the operation of its business prior to closing the Acquisition, the Corporation will not control Columbia and its subsidiaries until completion of the Acquisition and the Columbia business and results of operations may be adversely affected by events that are outside of the Corporation's control during the intervening period. Historic and current performance of Columbia's business and operations may not be indicative of success in future periods. The future performance of Columbia may be influenced by, among other factors, economic downturns, increased environmental regulation, turmoil in financial markets, unfavourable regulatory decisions, rising interest rates and other factors beyond the Corporation's control. As a result of any one or more of these factors, among others, the operations and financial performance of Columbia may be negatively affected during such period which may adversely affect the future financial results of the Corporation.

        Integration of Columbia

        The ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition will depend in part on the Corporation successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as on the ability of the Corporation to realize the anticipated growth and potential synergies from integrating Columbia's business into the Corporation's current operations following the Acquisition. To effectively integrate Columbia into its current operations, the Corporation must establish appropriate operational, administrative, finance, management systems and controls and marketing functions relating to Columbia. This will require substantial attention from the Corporation's management team. This diversion of management attention, as well as any other difficulties which the Corporation may encounter in completing the transition and integration process, could have an adverse impact on the Corporation's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The integration process may result in the loss of key employees and the disruption of ongoing business, customer and employee relationships that may adversely affect the ability of the Corporation to achieve all or some of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in integrating Columbia's operations, or that the expected benefits will be realized.

         Foreign Currency Exposure

        After giving effect to the Acquisition, a significantly increased portion of the Corporation's earnings and net assets will be denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates between the Canadian

14


and U.S. dollar may have an increased adverse effect on the Corporation's results and financial condition. Future events that may significantly increase or decrease the risk of future movement in the exchange rates for these currencies cannot be predicted.

         Failure to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Acquisition

        The Corporation believes that the Acquisition will provide certain benefits to the Corporation and its shareholders. There is, however, a risk that some or all of the expected benefits of the Acquisition may fail to materialize, or may not occur within the time periods anticipated by the Corporation. The realization of such benefits may be affected by a number of factors including those disclosed in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, many of which are beyond the control of the Corporation. If the Acquisition fails to provide the results that the Corporation anticipates, the Acquisition could materially and adversely affect the Corporation and its financial results.

         Increased Indebtedness

        If the Acquisition is completed on the terms contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the Corporation anticipates that the Borrowers (as defined herein) will borrow up to U.S.$    •    under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, subject to utilizing alternative sources of financing. Such borrowings will represent a significant increase in the Corporation's consolidated indebtedness. Such additional indebtedness will increase the Corporation's interest expense and debt service obligations and may have a negative effect on the Corporation's results of operations. In addition, all of Columbia's existing indebtedness will be included in the Corporation's consolidated indebtedness upon closing of the Acquisition. As of December 31, 2015, Columbia and its subsidiaries had U.S.$2.8 billion in outstanding indebtedness, comprised of U.S.$2.75 billion in aggregate principal amount of its senior notes and U.S.$15 million under Columbia MLP's (as defined herein) credit facility.

        The Corporation's existing and future level of debt, including the addition of Columbia's and Columbia MLP's future level of debt, could have important consequences to the Corporation, including the following:

        The Corporation's ability to service its increased debt will depend upon, among other things, its future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond the Corporation's control. If the Corporation's operating results are not sufficient to service its current or future indebtedness, the Corporation may be forced to take actions such as reducing dividends, reducing or delaying business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing its debt, or seeking additional equity capital. It is currently contemplated that a portion of the Acquisition Credit Facilities will be repaid from the proceeds of asset sales within 24 months following completion of the Acquisition. The Corporation may not be able to effect any of these actions on satisfactory terms, or at all.

        The Corporation currently has an investment grade credit rating from Standard & Poor's Rating Service, Moody's Investor Service and DBRS. However, its credit ratings could be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in its judgment, the circumstances warrant. The increased indebtedness of the Corporation arising from the Acquisition could be a factor considered by ratings agencies in downgrading the Corporation's credit rating. If a rating agency were to downgrade the Corporation's rating below investment grade, the Corporation's borrowing costs would increase and its funding sources could decrease. In addition, a failure by the Corporation to maintain an investment grade credit rating could affect its business relationships with suppliers and operating partners. A credit downgrade could also adversely affect the availability and cost of

15


capital needed to fund the growth investments that are a central element of the Corporation's long-term business strategy.

         Significant Transaction and Related Costs

        The Corporation expects to incur a number of costs associated with completing the Acquisition and integrating the operations of the Corporation and Columbia. The substantial majority of such costs will be non-recurring expenses resulting from the Acquisition and will consist of transaction costs related to the Acquisition, facilities and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of the Corporation and Columbia's respective businesses.

Risks Related to Columbia

        The principal business of Columbia is the operation of natural gas pipelines and natural gas storage facilities and, accordingly, the Corporation believes, based on its investigation in connection with the Acquisition and subject to the risk factor noted above under "Risks Relating to the Acquisition — Unexpected Costs or Liabilities Related to the Acquisition", that the risk factors relating to Columbia's business are generally the same as those disclosed by the Corporation under the headings "Natural Gas Pipelines — Business Risks" and "Other Information — Risks and Risk Management" in the 2015 MD&A.

        In addition, certain aspects of Columbia's business and structure which are specific to Columbia may present additional risks to the combined business of the Corporation following the completion of the Acquisition. Additional risks specifically related to Columbia are described below.

         Marcellus and Utica basin supply for downstream connecting pipelines

        Columbia's natural gas pipelines and transmission infrastructure assets depend largely on supply from the Marcellus and Utica basins. We will monitor any changes in Columbia's customers' gas production plans and how these changes may impact Columbia's existing assets and growth projects. There is competition for this supply from several pipelines within the basin. An overall decrease in production and/or competing demand for supply could impact throughput on pipelines connected to the Marcellus and Utica basins that, in turn, could impact future overall revenues generated. The amount actually produced from the Marcellus and Utica basins depends on many variables, including the price of natural gas, basin-on-basin competition, downstream pipeline tolls, demand within the basins and the overall value of the reserves, including liquids content.

         Concentration of Business with Key Customers

        Columbia is subject to risks of loss resulting from non-performance or non-renewal by its customers. Columbia depends on certain key customers for a significant portion of its revenues. In addition, Columbia is making significant capital expenditures to expand its existing assets and construct new energy infrastructure based on long-term contracts with customers, including natural gas producers who may be adversely impacted by sustained low commodity prices. Columbia's credit support arrangements may not be adequate to fully eliminate customer credit risk. The Corporation may not be able to effectively remarket capacity related to nonperforming customers. The deterioration in the creditworthiness of Columbia's customers or the failure of its customers to meet their contractual obligations could have an adverse effect on the Corporation's business, results of operations, financial condition, growth plans and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.

         Execution of Capital Projects

        Columbia has embarked on a significant expansion of their pipeline systems. The Corporation's ability to achieve targeted returns depends on delivering projects on time and on budget. Execution of these major projects can be affected by delays in permitting, development and/or construction which may impact capital costs. Additionally, there are certain termination rights within the shipping contracts which are triggered if milestones are not achieved by certain dates.

        The cost of executing these projects may be higher than budgeted. Cost overruns are partially borne by Columbia under the shipping contracts which will ultimately affect actual returns associated with the project or project(s).

16


         Aging Pipeline Systems

        The Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC ("Columbia Gulf") and Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC ("Columbia Gas Transmission") pipeline systems have been in operation for many years, with some portions of these pipelines being more than 50 years old. Segments of the Columbia Gulf and Columbia Gas Transmission pipeline systems are located in or near areas determined to be high consequence areas. Columbia implements integrity management testing of the pipelines that its operates, including the Columbia Gulf and Columbia Gas Transmission pipelines, and it repairs, remediates or replaces segments on those pipelines as necessary when anomaly conditions are identified during the integrity testing process or are determined to have occurred during the course of operations. TransCanada expects to invest significant capital over the next several years to replace aging infrastructure, including replacement of the relatively older pipe found on the Columbia Gas Transmission system. If, due to their age, these pipeline sections were to become unexpectedly unavailable for current or future volumes of natural gas because of repairs, damage, spills or leaks, or any other reason, it could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operation.

         Tax Treatment of Distribution

        NiSource (as defined herein) received an opinion from its counsel confirming the tax-free status of the distribution of Columbia common stock to NiSource stockholders (the "Distribution"). NiSource's receipt of the opinion was a condition to the completion of the Distribution. The opinion was based upon various factual representations and assumptions, as well as certain undertakings made by Columbia and NiSource. If any of those factual representations or assumptions are untrue or incomplete in any material respect, any undertaking is not complied with, or the facts upon which the opinion was based are materially different from the facts at the time of the Distribution, the Distribution may not qualify for tax-free treatment. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or the courts. As a result, the conclusions expressed in an opinion of counsel could be challenged by the IRS, and if the IRS prevails in such challenge, the tax consequences could have an adverse effect on Columbia, NiSource or the Corporation.

        If the Distribution ultimately is determined to be taxable, NiSource would recognize gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Columbia's common stock distributed to NiSource stockholders on the date of the Distribution over NiSource's tax basis in such shares as of such date. Under the terms of the Tax Allocation Agreement that Columbia entered into in connection with the Distribution (the "Tax Allocation Agreement"), in the event that the Distribution were determined to be taxable as the result of actions taken after the Distribution by Columbia or any of its subsidiaries, Columbia would be responsible for all taxes imposed on NiSource as a result thereof. In addition, in the event the Distribution were determined to be taxable and neither Columbia nor NiSource were at fault, Columbia would be responsible for a portion of the taxes imposed on NiSource as a result of such determination. Any such tax amounts could be significant.

         Indemnification Obligations and Assumption of Liabilities from the Distribution

        Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into between Columbia and NiSource in connection with the Distribution (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement") and certain other agreements, NiSource agreed to indemnify Columbia from certain liabilities and Columbia agreed to indemnify NiSource for certain liabilities. Claims made against Columbia under such indemnities could have a significant adverse impact on the Corporation.

        Columbia negotiated all of its agreements with NiSource relating to the Separation as a wholly owned subsidiary of NiSource. If these agreements had been negotiated with unaffiliated third parties, they might have been more favorable to Columbia. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Columbia assumed all past, present and future liabilities (other than certain tax liabilities which will be governed by the Tax Allocation Agreement) related to Columbia's business, and agreed to indemnify NiSource for these liabilities, among other matters. Such liabilities include unknown liabilities that could be significant. The allocation of assets and liabilities between NiSource and Columbia may not reflect the allocation that would have been reached between two unaffiliated parties. In addition, Columbia has limited remedies under the Separation and Distribution Agreement. See Note 1A, "Company Structure and Basis of Presentation" in the audited Notes to Columbia's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements at Annex A to this prospectus for a description of these obligations and the allocation of liabilities between NiSource and Columbia.

17


        Third parties may seek to hold Columbia responsible for retained liabilities of NiSource. Under the agreements Columbia entered into with NiSource, NiSource agreed to indemnify Columbia for claims and losses relating to these retained liabilities. However, if those liabilities are significant and Columbia is ultimately held liable for them, it cannot be assured that the Corporation will be able to recover the full amount of Columbia's losses from NiSource.

        Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, NiSource is obligated to indemnify Columbia for losses that a party may seek to impose upon Columbia or its affiliates for liabilities relating to the business of NiSource that are incurred through a breach of the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any ancillary agreement by NiSource or its affiliates other than Columbia or its post-Separation affiliates, or losses that are attributable to NiSource in connection with the Separation or are not expressly assumed by Columbia under its agreements with NiSource. Immediately following the Separation, any claims made against Columbia that are properly attributable to NiSource in accordance with these arrangements would require Columbia to exercise its rights under its agreements with NiSource to obtain payment. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Corporation is exposed to the risk that, in these circumstances, NiSource cannot, or will not, make the required payment.

        Potential Treatment of Distribution as Fraudulent Conveyance

        A court could deem the Distribution or certain internal restructuring transactions undertaken by NiSource in connection with the Separation to be a fraudulent conveyance or transfer. Fraudulent conveyances or transfers are defined to include transfers made or obligations incurred with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud current or future creditors or transfers made or obligations incurred for less than reasonably equivalent value when the debtor was insolvent, or that rendered the debtor insolvent, inadequately capitalized or unable to pay its debts as they become due. A court could void the transactions or impose substantial liabilities upon Columbia, which could adversely affect the Corporation's results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Among other things, the court could require the Corporation, as shareholder of Columbia, to return to NiSource, for the benefit of its creditors, some or all of the shares of Columbia's common stock issued in the Distribution, or require Columbia to fund liabilities of other companies involved in the restructuring transaction. Whether a transaction is a fraudulent conveyance or transfer under applicable state law may vary depending upon the jurisdiction whose law is being applied.


THE CORPORATION

        The Corporation was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA") on February 25, 2003 in connection with a plan of arrangement which established the Corporation as the parent company of TCPL. All of the outstanding common shares of TCPL are owned by the Corporation.

        We operate our business in three segments: Natural Gas Pipelines, Liquids Pipelines and Energy. Natural Gas Pipelines and Liquids Pipelines are principally comprised of our respective natural gas and oil pipelines in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico as well as our regulated natural gas storage operations in the U.S. Energy includes our power operations and the non-regulated natural gas storage business in Canada.

        Our principal subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 are indicated in the diagram under the heading "TransCanada Corporation — Intercorporate Relationships" in the Annual Information Form.

        TransCanada operates a network of natural gas pipelines that extends more than 67,000 km (42,000 miles), tapping into virtually all major gas supply basins in North America. TransCanada is one of the continent's largest providers of gas storage and related services with 368 Bcf of storage capacity. TransCanada owns or has interests in over 13,100 megawatts of power generation in Canada and the United States. TransCanada operates one of North America's largest liquids delivery systems.

        TransCanada is developing quality projects under our long-term capital program. These long-life infrastructure assets are supported by long-term commercial arrangements with creditworthy counterparties or regulated business models and are expected to generate significant growth in earnings and cash flow.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Acquisition of Columbia

        On March 17, 2016, the Corporation announced the entering into of the Merger Agreement. See "Acquisition of Columbia".

Alberta Power Purchase Arrangements

        On March 7, 2016, the Corporation announced plans to terminate its Alberta Power Purchase Arrangements ("PPAs") by exercising a right thereunder that permits termination of the PPAs if there is a change in law that makes the agreements unprofitable. The Corporation expects that unprofitable market conditions will continue as costs related to CO2 emissions have increased and they are expected to continue to increase over the remaining term of the PPAs.

        The Corporation expects the termination of the PPAs will improve its cash flow and comparable earnings in the near term, but will result in a non-cash charge of approximately $235 million pre-tax ($175 million after-tax) for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016 which represents the remaining net book value associated with the Corporation's original investment in the PPAs. This termination affects the Sheerness, Sundance A and Sundance B PPAs.


ACQUISITION OF COLUMBIA

        On March 17, 2016, the Corporation announced that TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub, and the Corporation (for the limited purpose of providing representations and warranties, pursuing regulatory approvals and obtaining financing for the Acquisition), had entered into an agreement to acquire Columbia through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Columbia for a total Purchase Price of U.S.$10.25 billion, which, together with approximately U.S.$2.75 billion of assumed debt, constitutes a total transaction value of approximately U.S.$13 billion. The Purchase Price represents a 11% premium to the closing price of shares of Columbia

19


common stock on the NYSE of U.S.$23.00 as of March 16, 2016 and a 32% premium to the volume-weighted average price over the last 30 days. The Acquisition is expected to close shortly after the later of the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period in connection with the Acquisition under the HSR Act, the receipt of Columbia Stockholder Approval, the receipt of CFIUS Clearance and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, provided that this date occurs on or prior to the Acquisition Outside Date, subject to any extensions of the Acquisition Outside Date in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Acquisition Rationale

        TransCanada views this acquisition as a major part of a series of planned business changes, including the planned monetization of its U.S. Northeast merchant power business and of a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business (as described under "— Financing of the Acquisition") that, taken together will significantly transform the Corporation's business and position it to generate significant growth, while maintaining its financial strength and flexibility. The highlights of the Acquisition include:

        The charts below show the sources of adjusted pro forma EBITDA in 2015.

See "Selected Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information".

        Columbia's assets include one of the largest interstate natural gas pipeline systems in the United States, providing transportation, storage and related services to a variety of customers in the U.S. Northeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions. This extensive, competitively-positioned, growing network of regulated natural gas pipeline and storage assets in the Marcellus and Utica shale gas regions complements TransCanada's existing North American footprint (see "Columbia — Description of Columbia's Business"). Combined, the 91,000 km (56,900 mile) natural gas pipeline system connects North America's supply basins to markets across the continent. The combination will result in 664 Bcf of storage capacity, including Columbia's system capacity of 296 Bcf. TransCanada will be well positioned to transport North America's natural gas supply to liquefied natural gas terminals for export to international markets.

GRAPHIC

        Columbia is currently advancing U.S.$5.6 billion of commercially secured growth projects that are subject to normal regulatory and permitting processes. The majority of these projects are within existing infrastructure corridors and are more cost competitive and expected to be easier to execute than comparable greenfield projects. They are also underpinned by long-term contracts and expected to generate growth in earnings as they enter service. Under an agreement with customers, additional growth is also anticipated from approximately U.S.$1.7 billion of modernization initiatives to be implemented through 2021. The combined U.S.$7.3 billion of growth initiatives, which are supported by predictable and growing revenue streams, are expected to support and may augment future dividend growth.

21


        TransCanada expects the Acquisition, net of associated financing and the planned monetization of the Corporation's U.S. Northeast merchant power assets and of a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business, to be accretive to earnings per share in the first full year of ownership. Looking forward, TransCanada's $13.5 billion portfolio of commercially-secured near-term growth opportunities together with Columbia's $9.6 billion (U.S.$7.3 billion) portfolio of commercially secured near-term projects, are expected to create long-term shareholder value.

Merger Agreement

        On March 17, 2016, TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub, all direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Corporation, and the Corporation (for the limited purposes of providing representations and warranties, pursuing regulatory approvals and obtaining the financing for the Acquisition) entered into the Merger Agreement with Columbia, which provides for, among other things, the Acquisition of Columbia by TCPL, indirectly through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Columbia, with Columbia continuing as the surviving corporation. Set forth below is a summary of the material provisions of the Merger Agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and with the SEC at www.edgar.com. This summary of the Merger Agreement is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosure of any facts and circumstances relating to the Corporation or Columbia.

        In accordance with the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the closing of the Acquisition, Merger Sub will merge with and into Columbia (the "Merger") with Columbia continuing as the surviving corporation, and each issued and outstanding share of Columbia common stock will be cancelled and (other than Columbia treasury stock or shares of Columbia common stock held directly or indirectly by the Corporation) converted automatically into the right to receive U.S.$25.50 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Merger Consideration"). In addition, all of the equity awards under Columbia's benefit plans will vest and be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of Columbia common stock underlying such equity awards. The aggregate amount of Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid, including with respect to equity awards under Columbia's benefit plans (the details of which are set out below), is approximately U.S.$10.25 billion in cash and does not include the outstanding long term debt of Columbia of approximately U.S.$2.75 billion. The Merger Agreement also provides for the vesting and termination of outstanding equity based awards, subject to certain conditions.

        Under the Merger Agreement, each of Columbia, the Corporation, TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub have made various representations and warranties.

        Columbia's representations and warranties relate to, among other things: the organization, standing and power of Columbia and its subsidiaries; Columbia's subsidiaries and joint ventures; capital structure; authority to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; noncontravention; Columbia and Columbia MLP's public company reporting and compliance obligations and financial statements; undisclosed liabilities; absence of certain changes or events; litigation; contracts; compliance with law; permits; labour and employment matters; employee benefit matters; taxes; environmental matters; insurance; real estate matters; intellectual property; regulatory matters; related party transactions; voting requirements to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; brokers and other advisors; opinions of financial advisors; and the applicability of state takeover protection statutes.

        The representations and warranties of the Corporation, TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub relate to, among other things: organization, standing and power of the Corporation, TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub; authority to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; noncontravention; litigation; brokers and other advisors; the operations and ownership of Merger Sub; ownership of Columbia common stock; debt financing; access to information; CFIUS; and compliance with laws and permits.

22


        Columbia, the Corporation, TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub have made covenants governing the conduct of the parties to the Merger Agreement during the period between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Acquisition, at the closing of the Acquisition, and after the closing of the Acquisition.

        Columbia has agreed, among other things, from the date of the Merger Agreement until the closing of the Acquisition to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, except as otherwise contemplated by the Merger Agreement or with the prior written consent of TCPL, conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practices and to use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve its current business organizations and to preserve in all material respects its relationships and goodwill with governmental entities, customers, suppliers, creditors, lessors, lessees, officers and employees.

        The Merger Agreement also contains specific restrictive covenants as to certain restricted activities of Columbia and its subsidiaries (subject, in certain cases, to specified exceptions, including an exception related to a drop-down transaction involving Columbia MLP) which require TCPL's consent, including, but not limited to: (i) paying dividends; (ii) certain changes to the corporate structure and capital stock of Columbia or its subsidiaries; (iii) engaging in certain transactions with respect to the shares, equity or other related securities of Columbia or its subsidiaries; (iv) amending organizational documents; (v) acquiring or selling assets with a value greater than $10 million; (vi) taking certain actions with respect to the indebtedness of Columbia or any of its subsidiaries; (vii) making capital expenditures in the aggregate in excess of $40 million in any three month period (other than those set forth in Columbia's capital expenditures plan, among other exceptions); (viii) settling certain kinds of claims; (ix) modifying, terminating or entering into certain types of Material Contracts (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (x) terminating any material permit or allowing a material permit to lapse; and (xi) making or agreeing to make certain changes to insurance policies.

        The Merger Agreement provides that Columbia is restricted from initiating, soliciting, negotiating, facilitating or engaging in discussions with respect to or providing any information to any person relating to an "Acquisition Proposal" (as defined in the Merger Agreement), except that Columbia may engage in discussions and provide information with respect to "Acquisition Proposals" that constitute or are reasonably likely to constitute a "Superior Proposal" (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and for which Columbia's board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside advisors) that failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. In addition, the board of directors of Columbia is restricted from changing its recommendation regarding the Acquisition or supporting another Acquisition Proposal, except in respect of an Intervening Event (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or a Superior Proposal (but subject in each case to certain notice and matching rights granted to TCPL under the Merger Agreement) for which Columbia's board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside advisors) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Furthermore, Columbia has a right to terminate the Merger Agreement in favour of a Superior Proposal, but subject to certain notice and matching rights granted to TCPL under the Merger Agreement and the good faith determination by Columbia's board of directors (after consultation with its outside advisors) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

        The Merger Agreement provides that Columbia, the Corporation and TCPL shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on their part under the Merger Agreement and applicable law to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as soon as practicable, including, but not limited to, preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be

23


obtained from any third party and/or any governmental entity, including any government antitrust authority, in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also includes specific covenants with respect to filings under the HSR Act and with respect to filings with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"), including a covenant that the Corporation will take all actions to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as soon as practicable, and obtain clearance under the HSR Act and obtain the CFIUS Clearance, except, in each case, to the extent that such actions would have a material adverse effect on Columbia and its subsidiaries or the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

        Under the Merger Agreement, TCPL and TransCanada Holdco have agreed, subject to certain specified exceptions and limitations, to provide continuing levels of compensation and certain benefits of the employees of Columbia and its subsidiaries until December 31, 2017 and to recognize the past service of such employees for the purposes of their entitlements under the Corporation's applicable employee benefit plans. TCPL has also agreed to indemnify the directors and officers of Columbia from certain liabilities in connection with their service as directors and officers of Columbia or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, TCPL has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to continue division-related headquarter functions in Charleston, West Virginia and to maintain employment levels and community presence in certain locations in the U.S. until the second anniversary of the closing date.

        The Acquisition is subject to a number of customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of Columbia's common stock ("Columbia Stockholder Approval"), the expiry or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, completion of the clearance process undertaken by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States under the Defense Production Act of 1950 ("CFIUS Clearance") and the absence of a "Material Adverse Effect" (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

        The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to the closing in certain circumstances, including if the Merger is not consummated on or before the Acquisition Outside Date; provided, however, that if additional time is necessary in order to obtain expiry or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the Acquisition Outside Date may be automatically extended for two additional three month periods.

        In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by Columbia to accept a Superior Proposal, (ii) (A) by TCPL or Columbia for failure to obtain the Columbia Stockholder Approval or failure to close by the Acquisition Outside Date or (B) by TCPL for Columbia's material breach of the Merger Agreement and, in each case, Columbia subsequently consummates or enters into an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal within twelve months of such termination or (iii) by TCPL for a change of recommendation by Columbia's board or Columbia's breach of the no-shop covenant included in the Merger Agreement, Columbia has agreed to pay a termination payment of U.S.$309 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain other circumstances, Columbia has agreed to reimburse TCPL's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses up to U.S.$40 million.

Financing of the Acquisition

        The Purchase Price and the expenses related to the Acquisition will be financed at the closing of the Acquisition, directly or indirectly, with a combination of some or all of the following: (i) net proceeds of the Offering, (ii) amounts drawn under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, and (iii) existing cash on hand and other sources available to the Corporation, including the planned monetization of the Corporation's U.S. Northeast merchant power assets and a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business. The Offering is expected to comprise U.S.$    •     billion to U.S.$    •     billion of the long term financing for the Acquisition. An additional approximately U.S.$    •     billion of the Purchase Price, which may initially be funded through the Acquisition Credit Facilities, will ultimately be satisfied by the sale of a whole or partial interest in certain of TransCanada's existing assets within the 24 month period following the earlier of the funding date of the

24


Acquisition Credit Facilities or the Acquisition Closing Date. The remainder, if any, of the Purchase Price is expected to be financed from existing cash on hand and other sources available to the Corporation, including normal course financing activities.

        The Corporation expects that with the Offering, it will have fulfilled its common equity financing goals with respect to the Acquisition.

        The Corporation's overall financing plan in respect of the Acquisition is designed to be consistent with the Corporation's current financial profile.

        See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of certain risks relating to the financing of the Acquisition.

        For purposes of financing the Purchase Price, on March 17, 2016, TCPL engaged Royal Bank of Canada, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and certain of their respective affiliates to provide, on a fully underwritten basis, senior unsecured bridge term loan credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to U.S.$10.3 billion (the "Acquisition Credit Facilities"). The Acquisition Credit Facilities consist of (i) an equity bridge term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$3.2 billion (the "Equity Bridge Facility"), (ii) an asset sale bridge term loan credit facility (the "Cdn. Asset Sale Bridge Facility"), and (iii) an asset sale bridge term loan credit facility (the "U.S. Asset Sale Bridge Facility" and together with the Cdn. Asset Sale Bridge Facility, the "Asset Sale Bridge Facilities"). The aggregate principal amount of the Asset Sale Bridge Facilities is U.S.$7.1 billion. TransCanada Holdco will be the borrower under the U.S. Asset Sale Bridge Facility and TCPL will be the borrower under the remainder of the Acquisition Credit Facilities and will be a guarantor under the U.S. Asset Sale Bridge Facility (TCPL and TransCanada Holdco, together, the "Borrowers").

        The Asset Sale Bridge Facilities are intended to be repaid through the sale of the Corporation's U.S. Northeast merchant power assets, comprised of Ravenswood, Ironwood, Ocean State Power, TC Hydro and Kibby Wind. These assets provide electricity supply to commercial, industrial and institutional customers in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New York. The Corporation also intends to monetize a portion of the Corporation's Mexican natural gas pipeline business, which currently includes the Guadalajara Pipeline which connects to an LNG regasification facility located near Manzanillo on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, and the Tamazunchale Pipeline, a natural gas pipeline in east Central Mexico that connects facilities of Mexico's state-owned petroleum company to natural gas power generation plants near Tamazunchale, Mexico and other projects under construction or development.

        The Equity Bridge Facility will mature 364 days following the earlier of the funding date and the Acquisition Closing Date and the Asset Sale Bridge Facilities will mature 24 months following the earlier of the funding date and the Acquisition Closing Date.

        The credit agreement or agreements pursuant to which the Acquisition Credit Facilities will be extended (the "Acquisition Credit Agreement") will contain certain prepayment options in favour of the Borrowers and certain mandatory prepayment obligations upon the occurrence of certain events. In particular, the Borrowers will be required to effect reductions or make certain mandatory prepayments of the Acquisition Credit Facilities, which will permanently reduce the commitments of the lenders and/or require the mandatory repayment of indebtedness under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from: (i) any issuance of equity and/or subscription receipts or other equity securities by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, other than pursuant to certain prescribed exceptions, including to fund projected capital expenditures, (ii) any issuance of debt securities or incurrence of other indebtedness for borrowed money by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, other than certain prescribed exceptions (including amounts borrowed from time to time under existing credit facilities and commercial paper programs or to fund projected capital expenditures), and (iii) all asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, subject to certain prescribed exceptions.

        The Acquisition Credit Agreement will contain (i) customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants of the Borrowers that will be nearly identical to those in TCPL's existing credit agreement dated October 14, 2011, and (ii) certain additional representations and warranties as are customary for acquisition financings of the nature contemplated by the Acquisition Credit Facilities. The

25


drawdown of the Acquisition Credit Facilities will also be subject to certain customary conditions for acquisition financings of the nature contemplated by the Acquisition Credit Facilities.

        Customary fees for acquisition financings of the nature contemplated by the Acquisition Credit Facilities are payable by the Borrowers and amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Credit Facilities will bear interest at rates as are market for acquisition financings of the nature contemplated by the Acquisition Credit Facilities.


COLUMBIA

        Columbia is a growth-oriented Delaware corporation which was formed by NiSource Inc. ("NiSource") on September 26, 2014 to own, operate and develop a portfolio of pipeline, storage and related midstream assets. On July 1, 2015, NiSource distributed, pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form 10, 317.6 million shares, one share of Columbia common stock for every one share of NiSource common stock held by NiSource stockholders on the record date. Columbia has been an independent, publicly traded company since July 1, 2015. Columbia's common stock trades under the ticker symbol "CPGX" on the NYSE. On December 7, 2015, Columbia completed the issuance of 82.2 million common shares including 10,725,000 common shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Columbia received net proceeds of U.S.$1,394.7 million, net of underwriting discounts and estimated expenses of the offering of approximately U.S.$42.2 million.

        Columbia owns approximately 15,000 miles (24,140 km) of strategically located interstate natural gas pipelines extending from New York to the Gulf of Mexico and one of the U.S.'s largest underground natural gas storage systems, with approximately 296 Bcf of working gas capacity, as well as related gathering and processing assets. For the year ended December 31, 2015, 94.6% of Columbia's revenue, excluding revenues generated from cost recovery under certain regulatory tracker mechanisms, was generated under firm revenue contracts. As of December 31, 2015, these contracts had a weighted average remaining contract life of 4.8 years. Columbia owns these assets through CPG OpCo LP ("Columbia OpCo"), a partnership between Columbia's wholly owned subsidiary Columbia Energy Group ("CEG") and Columbia Pipeline Partners LP ("Columbia MLP"). Columbia MLP is a fee-based, growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership formed to own, operate and develop a portfolio of pipelines, storage and related midstream assets.

        Through its wholly owned subsidiary CEG, Columbia owns the general partner of Columbia MLP, all of Columbia MLP's incentive distribution rights and all of Columbia MLP's subordinated units, which, in the aggregate, represent a 46.5% limited partner interest in Columbia MLP. Columbia MLP completed its initial public offering on February 11, 2015, selling 53.5% of its limited partner interests.

Organizational Structure

        The following is a simplified diagram of Columbia's ownership structure, including key operating subsidiaries:

Description of Columbia's Business

        Columbia owns the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulated natural gas transportation and storage assets described below.

        Columbia Gas Transmission owns and operates a FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transportation pipeline and storage system, which has historically largely operated as a means to transport gas from the Gulf Coast, via Columbia Gulf, from various pipeline interconnects, and from production areas in the Marcellus/Utica region to markets in the Midwest, Atlantic, and Northeast regions. As Marcellus and Utica shale gas production has grown, Columbia Gas Transmission's operations and assets also have grown due to the increased production within the pipeline's operating area. As the market continues to evolve, Columbia Gas Transmission is in various phases of execution and construction on a multitude of growth projects to help move the growing production of gas out of the Marcellus and Utica shale plays and into on-system markets in the northeast and mid-Atlantic markets as well as off-system markets in the Gulf Coast.

        Columbia Gas Transmission's pipeline system consists of 11,272 miles (18,141 km) of natural gas transmission pipeline. It has a transportation capacity of approximately 10 Bcf/day, transports an average of approximately 3.9 Bcf/day and serves communities in Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Columbia Gas Transmission owns and leases approximately 819,500 acres (331,639 hectares) of underground storage, 3,432 storage wells, which includes 35 storage fields in four states with approximately 620 Bcf in total operational capacity, with approximately 286 Bcf of working gas capacity.

        Columbia also owns a 47.5% ownership interest in Millennium Pipeline, which transports an average of 1.1 Bcf/day of natural gas primarily sourced from the Marcellus shale to markets across southern New York and the lower Hudson Valley, as well as to the New York City market through its pipeline interconnections. Millennium Pipeline has access to the Northeast Pennsylvania Marcellus shale natural gas supply and is pursuing growth opportunities to expand its system. The Millennium Pipeline system consists of approximately 253 miles (407 km) of natural gas transmission pipeline and three compressor stations with over 43,000 horsepower of installed capacity. Columbia Gas Transmission acts as operator of Millennium Pipeline, and DTE Millennium Company and National Grid Millennium LLC each own an equal remaining share of Millennium Pipeline.

        The Columbia Gulf pipeline system is a FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transportation pipeline system, which consists of 3,341 miles (5,377 km) of natural gas transmission pipeline and transports an average of approximately 1.5 Bcf/day. The system offers shippers access to two actively traded market hubs — the Columbia Gulf Mainline Pool and the Columbia Gulf Onshore Pool. In addition, Columbia Gulf interconnects with the Henry Hub in South Louisiana and the Columbia Gas Transmission Pool near Leach, Kentucky. Through its interstate and intrastate pipeline interconnections, Columbia Gulf provides upstream supply to serve growing markets in the mid-atlantic, midwest, Florida and southeast. Columbia Gulf also has a project underway that will connect its system with the Cameron LNG export facility. In addition, Columbia Gulf recently reconfigured its system so that it can reverse flow on one of its three pipelines. Flows on the other two pipelines will be reversed as part of expansion projects that are underway.

        Through Columbia's ownership interests in Columbia OpCo, Columbia owns the gathering, processing and other assets described below.

        Columbia Midstream Group, LLC ("Columbia Midstream") provides natural gas producer services including gathering, treating, conditioning, processing, compression and liquids handling in the Marcellus/Utica

28


Basins. Columbia Midstream owns approximately 123 miles (198 km) of natural gas gathering pipeline and one compressor station with 6,800 horsepower of installed capacity and also owns a 47.5% ownership interest in Pennant Midstream, LLC, which owns approximately 49 miles (79 km) of natural gas gathering pipeline infrastructure, a cryogenic processing plant and a 36 mile (58 km) NGL pipeline. Columbia Midstream supports the growing production in the Utica and Marcellus resource plays.

        The unique location and capabilities of Columbia's pipeline assets place it in a strategically advantageous position to continue to capitalize on production from the Marcellus and Utica shales. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, production in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions grew from approximately 2.7 Bcf/day of natural gas in 2010 to approximately 19.6 Bcf/day in 2015, and, according to IHS CERA, natural gas production in these regions is anticipated to grow to above 30 Bcf/day by the end of 2020. To that end, Columbia has recently placed into service or is currently pursuing significant expansion projects that are underpinned by long-term contracts and expected to generate growth in earnings as they enter service, the most significant of which include:

29


        The schematic below illustrates the expected gas flow direction and capacity of each of the growth projects described above (other than the Gibraltar Pipeline Project):

Shaded area represents the Marcellus and Utica shale gas production areas.

        In 2013, the FERC approved the modernization settlement entered into by Columbia Gas Transmission and its customers that provided recovery and return on an investment of up to U.S.$1.5 billion over a five-year period to modernize its system to improve system integrity and enhance service reliability and flexibility. The modernization program includes, among other things, replacement of aging pipeline and compressor facilities, enhancements to system inspection capabilities and improvements in control systems. In January 2016, the FERC approved Columbia Gas Transmission's third annual filing for recovery under this program. Columbia Gas Transmission has placed approximately U.S.$937 million in modernization investments into service as of February 2016. The remaining U.S.$0.6 billion of modernization investment is expected to be placed into service in 2017 and 2018.

        In December 2015, Columbia Gas Transmission filed an extension of this settlement and has requested FERC's approval of the customer agreement by March 31, 2016. This extension will allow Columbia Gas Transmission to invest an additional U.S.$1.1 billion over an additional three-year period through 2020, with expected in-service dates in 2019 through 2021. This new agreement also expands the scope of facility investments covered by the program to include storage facilities.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        The gross proceeds from the Offering will, from the Offering Closing Date until the earlier of the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and the Termination Time, be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and invested pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined herein) in interest-bearing deposits with banks and other financial institutions with issuer credit ratings from Standard & Poor's ("S&P") of at least A, provided that Dividend Equivalent Payments may be made from the Escrowed Funds and the interest credited or received thereon from time to time, as described herein (see "Details of the Offering").

        If the Escrow Release Notice is delivered prior to the Termination Time, the remaining proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts, (together any remaining interest credited or received thereon), less any amounts required to satisfy any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments, will be released by the Escrow Agent to or as directed by the Corporation and will be used, directly or indirectly, to pay a portion of the Purchase Price or to repay a portion of the indebtedness incurred to finance a portion of the Purchase Price.

        If the Escrow Release Notice is not delivered on or prior to the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, commencing on the third business day following the Termination Time, as the case may be, the Termination Payment. The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, including from interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, are insufficient to cover the full amount of the Termination Payment, under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, TransCanada will be required to pay to the Escrow Agent as agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts the deficiency if any, between the amount of Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. See "Details of the Offering". If any amount of such interest on the Escrowed Funds remains unused after the full payment of the Termination Payment, it shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Corporation.

        If the Escrow Release Notice is delivered prior to the Termination Time and the Acquisition Closing Date occurs, the net proceeds to the Corporation from the Offering will be approximately $    •    after deducting the Underwriters' fee of approximately $    •    and before deducting expenses of the Offering and excluding any interest that may be earned on the Escrowed Funds. If the Underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment Option in full and the Escrow Release Notice is delivered prior to the Termination Time and the Acquisition Closing Date occurs, the net proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $    •    after deducting the Underwriters' fee of approximately $    •    and before deducting the expenses of the Offering and excluding any interest that may be earned on the Escrowed Funds. See "Acquisition of Columbia".

        The expenses of the Offering and the Underwriters' fee will be paid from the general funds of the Corporation.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

        Other than the issuance by TCPL of U.S.$400 million principal amount of 3.125% senior notes due 2019 (the "January 2016 3.125% Senior Notes") and U.S.$850 million principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2026, on January 27, 2016 (the "January 2016 4.875% Senior Notes" and, collectively with the January 2016 3.125% Senior Notes, the "January 2016 Notes"), there have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, from December 31, 2015 to the date of this prospectus. After giving effect to the Offering and assuming that the Acquisition Closing Date occurs prior to the Termination Time, the equity of the Corporation will increase by the amount of the gross proceeds of the Offering and the issued and outstanding Common Shares will increase by     •    shares. In the event of the exercise in full of the Over-Allotment Option, the equity of the Corporation will increase by an additional $    •    and the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares will increase by an additional    •    Common Shares.

        The following table sets forth our consolidated capitalization as at December 31, 2015, both on an actual basis and on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Offering (assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), the anticipated borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities and the completion of the Acquisition, in each case as if the completion of the Offering and the Acquisition had occurred as at December 31, 2015.

        We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, of which approximately 702,344,195 were issued and outstanding as of March 11, 2016; an unlimited number of First Preferred Shares, issuable in series, of which 9,498,423 Series 1 Shares, 12,501,577 Series 2 Shares, 8,533,405 Series 3 Shares, 5,466,595 Series 4 Shares, 12,714,261 Series 5 Shares, 1,285,739 Series 6 Shares, 24 million Series 7 Shares, 18 million Series 9 Shares and 10 million Series 11 Shares were outstanding as of March 11, 2016; and an unlimited number of Second Preferred Shares, issuable in series, of which none were outstanding as of March 11, 2016.

        The following description of each of the Common Shares, First Preferred Shares and Second Preferred Shares is a summary of certain of their material attributes and characteristics which does not purport to be complete.

Common Shares

        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 Preferred Shares, whether as a class or a series, and to any other class or series of shares of the Corporation 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 the Corporation out of the assets of the Corporation 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 the Corporation may from time to time determine; and (ii) the remaining property of the Corporation upon a dissolution.

First Preferred Shares

        Subject to certain limitations, the board of directors of the Corporation may, at any time, and from time to time, issue First Preferred Shares in one or more series and determine for any such series, its designation, number of shares and respective rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions. The First Preferred Shares, as a class, have, among others, provisions to the effect set forth below.

        The First Preferred Shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the First Preferred Shares of every other series, and shall be entitled to preference over the Common Shares, the Second Preferred Shares and any other shares ranking junior to the First Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, the repayment of capital and the distribution of the assets of the Corporation in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, and may also be given such other preferences not inconsistent with the provisions of the articles of the Corporation.

        Except as provided by the CBCA or as referred to below, the holders of the First Preferred Shares will not have any voting rights nor will they be entitled to receive notice of or to attend shareholders' meetings. The holders of any particular series of First Preferred Shares will, if the directors of the Corporation so determine prior to the issuance of such series, be entitled to such voting rights as may be determined by the directors if the Corporation fails to pay dividends on that series of First Preferred Shares for any period as may be so determined by the directors.

        Subject to the provisions of the CBCA and any provisions relating to any particular series, the Corporation, upon giving proper notice, may redeem out of capital or otherwise at any time, or from time to time, the whole or any part of the then outstanding First Preferred Shares of any one or more series on payment for each such First Preferred Share of such price or prices as may be applicable to such series. Subject to the foregoing, in case a part only of the then outstanding First Preferred Shares of any particular series is at any time redeemed, the shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot in such manner as the directors or the transfer agent for the First Preferred Shares, if any, decide, or if the directors so determine, may be redeemed pro rata disregarding fractions.

        The provisions attaching to the First Preferred Shares as a class may be modified, amended or varied only with the approval of the holders of the First Preferred Shares as a class. Any such approval to be given by the

36


holders of the First Preferred Shares may be given by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 662/3 per cent of the First Preferred Shares represented and voted at a meeting or adjourned meeting of such holders.

Second Preferred Shares

        The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Second Preferred Shares are substantially identical to those attaching to the First Preferred Shares, except that the Second Preferred Shares are junior to the First Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, repayment of capital and the distribution of the assets of the Corporation in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.


DIVIDENDS

        We increased the quarterly dividend on our outstanding common shares by nine per cent to $0.565 per Common Share for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 which equates to an annual dividend of $2.26 per Common Share and reflects our commitment to grow our Common Share dividend at an average annual rate of eight to ten per cent through 2020. This is the 16th consecutive year we have increased the dividend on our common shares.

        We declared dividends per Common Share of $1.84 in 2013, $1.92 in 2014, and $2.08 in 2015.


PRIOR SALES

        The Corporation has not sold or issued any Common Shares, or securities convertible into Common Shares, during the twelve month period ending prior to the date of this prospectus, other than an aggregate of 495,498 Common Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $34.26 on the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Corporation's stock option plans, for aggregate consideration of approximately $16,975,761.

DETAILS OF THE OFFERING

        The Offering consists of    •    Subscription Receipts at a price of $    •    per Subscription Receipt.

        Set forth below is a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the Subscription Receipts. This summary does not purport to be complete. The subscription receipt agreement governing the terms of the Subscription Receipts to be dated as of the Offering Closing Date among the Corporation, the Underwriters, and the Escrow Agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") will be filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and with the SEC on the Offering Closing Date.

Automatic Exchange

        Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive automatically, upon the closing of the Acquisition, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration, one Common Share of the Corporation.

        Provided that the closing of the Acquisition occurs prior to the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent will automatically issue and deliver the appropriate number of Common Shares to each registered holder of Subscription Receipts without any further action required by such holder and without payment of additional consideration and thereafter the former holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled, as holders of Common Shares, to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation from time to time, to vote and to all other rights available to holders of Common Shares (see "Description of Share Capital — Common Shares"). Contemporaneously with the issuance and delivery of the Common Shares to the holders of Subscription Receipts, the Corporation will issue a press release specifying that Common Shares have been so issued and delivered to holders of Subscription Receipts. Following the Acquisition Closing Date any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payment will be paid by the Escrow Agent from the Escrowed Funds and any interest credited or recorded thereon to Subscription Receipt holders of record on the record date for the corresponding dividend.

Dividend Equivalent Payments

        Holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Payments in respect of, and paid concurrently with, any dividends on the Common Shares for which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the last day on which the Subscription Receipts remain outstanding.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Subscription Receipts of record at the close on April 15, 2016 will be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of the $0.565 per Common Share dividend payable by TransCanada on April 29, 2016 to Common Share holders of record at the close on March 31, 2016 even though the Subscription Receipt holders were not holders of record on the record date for such Common Share dividend. In the event that the Termination Time occurs after a dividend has been declared on the Common Shares but before the record date for such dividend, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive, as part of the Termination Payment, a pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of such dividend declared on the Common Shares based on the ratio of the time between (i) the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the Offering Closing Date) and the Termination Time to (ii) the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the prior payment date for dividends on the Common Shares) and the dividend payment date for the dividend so declared. If the Termination Time occurs on a record date or following a record date but on or prior to the payment date, holders will be entitled to receive the full Dividend Equivalent Payment.

        Any Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made first out of any interest that has been credited or received on the Escrowed Funds and then out of the Escrowed Funds, and will be paid net of any applicable withholding taxes.

Escrowed Funds

        The Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement entered into on the Offering Closing Date. The Escrowed Funds will be delivered to and held in escrow by the Escrow Agent as

38


agent and bailee on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts and will be invested pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined herein) in interest-bearing deposits with banks and other financial institutions with issuer credit ratings from S&P of at least A, pending: (i) receipt of a notice in accordance with the terms and conditions to be set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, signed by the Corporation and the Underwriters confirming that the Escrow Release Condition has occurred (the "Escrow Release Notice"); or (ii) the Termination Time; provided that Dividend Equivalent Payments may be made from the Escrowed Funds and the interest credited or received thereon from time to time, as described herein.

        Once the parties to the Merger Agreement are able to complete the Acquisition in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, but for the payment of the Purchase Price, and the Corporation has available to it all other funds required to complete the Acquisition (the "Escrow Release Condition"), the Corporation will provide the Escrow Release Notice to the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent will release the Escrowed Funds, less any amounts required to satisfy payment of any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payment, to or at the direction of the Corporation. Under the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Escrowed Funds may, at the election of the Corporation, be so released up to six "Business Days" (defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement for these purposes as any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks in the City of New York are required or authorized to be closed) prior to the anticipated closing of the Acquisition.

        In the event that the Escrowed Funds are released pursuant to an Escrow Release Notice and the closing of the Acquisition does not occur within six Business Days of such release, the Corporation will cause the Escrowed Funds to be returned to the Escrow Agent and the Escrowed Funds will either continue to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement or returned to the holders of Subscription Receipts, as applicable.

Termination

        In the event that the Escrow Release Notice is not delivered on or prior to the Termination Time or the Escrowed Funds are released pursuant to an Escrow Release Notice but subsequently returned to the Escrow Agent and no further Escrow Release Notice is delivered on or prior to the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, commencing on the third business day following the Termination Time, the Termination Payment.

        The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, including from any interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, is insufficient to cover the full amount of the Termination Payment, TransCanada will be required, under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, to pay to the Escrow Agent as agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts the deficiency, if any, between the amount of Escrowed Funds, together with any such interest, at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. If any amount of such interest on the Escrowed Funds remains unused after the full payment of the Termination Payment, it shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Corporation.

Rescission

        Under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, original purchasers of Subscription Receipts pursuant to the Offering will have a contractual right of rescission following the issuance of Common Shares to such purchaser upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts to receive the amount paid for the Subscription Receipts if this prospectus (including documents incorporated herein by reference) or any amendment hereto contains a misrepresentation (as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta)) or is not delivered to such purchaser, provided such remedy for rescission is exercised within 180 days of the Offering Closing Date.

Amendments

        From time to time while the Subscription Receipts are outstanding, the Corporation, the Underwriters and the Escrow Agent, without the consent of the holders of the Subscription Receipts, may amend or supplement the Subscription Receipt Agreement for certain purposes, including making any change that, in the opinion of

39


the Escrow Agent, does not prejudice the rights of the holders of the Subscription Receipts. The Subscription Receipt Agreement provides for other modifications and alterations thereto and to the Subscription Receipts issued thereunder by way of an extraordinary resolution. The term "extraordinary resolution" is defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement to mean, in effect, a resolution passed by the affirmative votes of the holders of not less than 662/3% of the number of outstanding Subscription Receipts represented and voting at a meeting of Subscription Receipt holders or an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the holders of not less than 662/3% of the number of outstanding Subscription Receipts.


DEPOSITORY SERVICES

        The Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts will be issued in "book entry only" form and must be purchased or transferred through a participant in the CDS depository service ("CDS Participant"). The Corporation will cause a global certificate or certificates representing any newly issued Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts to be delivered to, and registered in the name of, CDS or its nominee. All rights of holders of Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts must be exercised through, and all payments or other property to which such holders of Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts, as the case may be, is entitled, will be made or delivered by, CDS or the CDS Participant through which the holders of Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts holds such Subscription Receipts or Common Shares. Each person who acquires Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts will receive only a customer confirmation of purchase from the registered dealer from or through which the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts are acquired in accordance with the practices and procedures of that registered dealer. The practices of registered dealers may vary, but generally customer confirmations are issued promptly after execution of a customer order. CDS is responsible for establishing and maintaining book entry accounts for its CDS Participants having interests in the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts.

        The ability of a beneficial owner of Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts to pledge such Subscription Receipts or Common Shares or otherwise take action with respect to such owner's interest in such Subscription Receipts or Common Shares (other than through a CDS Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.

        The Corporation has the option to terminate registration of the Subscription Receipts and Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts through the book entry only system, in which event certificates for Subscription Receipts and Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts in fully registered form will be issued to the beneficial owners of such shares or their nominees.

        Neither the Corporation nor the Underwriters will assume any liability for: (a) any aspect of the records relating to the beneficial ownership of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts held by CDS or the payments relating thereto; (b) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts; or (c) any advice or representation made by or with respect to CDS and those contained in this prospectus and relating to the rules governing CDS or any action to be taken by CDS or at the direction of its CDS Participants. The rules governing CDS provide that it acts as the agent and depository for the CDS Participants. As a result, CDS Participants must look solely to CDS and persons, other than CDS Participants, having an interest in the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts must look solely to CDS Participants for payments made by or on behalf of the Corporation to CDS in respect of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts.

        If (i) required by applicable law, (ii) the book entry only system ceases to exist, (iii) the Corporation determines that CDS is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (iv) the Corporation, at its option, decides to terminate the book entry only system, then certificates representing the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts, as applicable, will be made available.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") dated March     •    , 2016 among the Corporation and the Underwriters, the Corporation has agreed to sell an aggregate of    •     Subscription Receipts to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters have severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agreed to purchase from the Corporation, as principals, such Subscription Receipts at a price of $    •    per Subscription Receipt payable in cash against delivery on the Offering Closing Date. The Underwriting Agreement provides that, in consideration of the services of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Corporation will pay the Underwriters a fee of $    •    per Subscription Receipt issued and sold by the Corporation as part of the Offering, for an aggregate fee payable by the Corporation of $    •    . The Underwriters' fee is payable as to 50% on the Offering Closing Date and 50% upon the closing of the Acquisition. In the event the Escrowed Funds are refunded to purchasers, the fee payable to the Underwriters in respect of the Subscription Receipts will consist solely of the amount payable on the Offering Closing Date.

        The Corporation has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option exercisable at any time until 30 days following the Offering Closing Date to purchase up to an additional     •    Subscription Receipts at a price of $    •    per Subscription Receipt. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total price to the public, the Underwriters' fee and the net proceeds to the Corporation, before expenses and interest, will be $    •    , $    •    and $    •    , respectively. The distribution of the Subscription Receipts that may be issued on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option are also qualified under this prospectus. A purchaser who acquires any of the Subscription Receipts forming part of the Underwriters' over-allocation position acquires these securities under this prospectus, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.

        The terms of the Offering were established through negotiations between the Corporation and the Underwriters.

        The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several (and not joint or joint and several) and may be terminated at their discretion upon the occurrence of certain stated events. Such events include, but are not limited to: (a) there shall occur any change in the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities, earnings, capital or ownership or condition of the Corporation on a consolidated basis or any material change in the terms of the Acquisition or the termination of the Merger Agreement, in either case resulting in a misrepresentation in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein; (b) as a result of investigations after the date hereof, the Underwriters (or any one of them) determine that there exists any fact or circumstance which existed prior to the date hereof and had not been disclosed prior to the date hereof, which in their sole opinion, acting reasonably, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Subscription Receipts or the underlying Common Shares; and (c) if there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence, or any law or regulation which, in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any one of them) acting reasonably, may materially adversely affect or involve the financial markets in Canada or the U.S. or the business, operations or affairs of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, take as a whole or is expected to prevent, suspend or materially restrict the trading in the Subscription Receipts or the underlying Common Shares.

        If an Underwriter fails to purchase the Subscription Receipts which it has agreed to purchase, the other Underwriters may, but are not obligated to, purchase such Subscription Receipts, provided that, if the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts not purchased is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters, then each of the other Underwriters is obligated to purchase severally the Subscription Receipts not taken up, on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all Subscription Receipts if any Subscription Receipts are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Corporation will indemnify the Underwriters and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees against certain liabilities and expenses.

        The Underwriters propose to offer the Subscription Receipts initially at the public offering price specified on the cover page of this prospectus. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Subscription Receipts offered by this prospectus at the price specified herein, the offering price may be

41


decreased and may be further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than that specified on the cover page of this prospectus. In the event the offering price of the Subscription Receipts is reduced, the compensation received by the Underwriters will be decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid by the purchasers for the Subscription Receipts is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation for the Subscription Receipts. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation.

        Subscriptions for Subscription Receipts will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part, and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice.

        There is currently no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Subscription Receipts purchased under this prospectus.

        The Corporation has agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, it shall not issue or agree to issue any Common Shares or other securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Common Shares prior to 90 days after the Offering Closing Date without the prior consent of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc., which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This 90 day period may be extended under certain circumstances.

        Pursuant to policy statements of certain securities regulators, the Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution, bid for or purchase Subscription Receipts or Common Shares. The policy statements allow certain exceptions to the foregoing prohibitions. The Underwriters may only avail themselves of such exceptions on the condition that the bid or purchase not be engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in, or raising the price of, the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, relating to market stabilization and passive market making activities and a bid or purchase made for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during the period of distribution. Pursuant to the first mentioned exception, in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares at levels other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Conflicts of Interest

        As described in "Use of Proceeds", a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering may be used, directly or indirectly, to repay a portion of the indebtedness incurred to finance a portion of the Purchase Price. See "Use of Proceeds". As a result, one or more of the Underwriters or their affiliates may receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of the Offering in the form of the repayment of such indebtedness. Accordingly, the Offering is being made pursuant to Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Pursuant to this rule, the appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in connection with the Offering, because the conditions of Rule 5121(a)(1)(B) are satisfied.

In addition, all applicable provisions of the FSMA must be complied with in relation to anything done to the Subscription Receipts in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.


RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE UNDERWRITERS

        The Underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and in the future may perform, commercial and investment banking and advisory services for us for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses. The Underwriters may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business.

        Each of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc. is, directly or indirectly, a subsidiary of certain lenders (the "Lenders") which have extended (or will extend) credit facilities (collectively, the

43


"Facilities") to the Corporation or its affiliates (see "Acquisition of Columbia — Financing of the Acquisition"). Accordingly, the Corporation may be considered to be a "connected issuer" of such Underwriters under applicable securities legislation. The Facilities consist of the following committed syndicated facilities: TCPL's $3.0 billion amended and restated credit agreement; TCPL's U.S.$1.0 billion credit agreement; a TransCanada Holdco U.S.$0.5 billion credit agreement; a TransCanada American Investments Ltd. and TransCanada Power Marketing Ltd., as co-borrowers, U.S.$1.5 billion credit agreement; a TC PipeLines, LP U.S.$500 million first amendment to a second amended and restated revolving credit and term loan agreement; a TC PipeLines, LP U.S.$500 million term loan agreement; a TC PipeLines, LP U.S.$170 million term loan agreement; a Northern Border Pipeline Company U.S.$200 million revolving amended and restated credit agreement; a Gas Transmission Northwest LLC U.S.$75 million term loan agreement; a TQM Pipeline and Company, Limited Partnership $135 million revolving and term loan agreement, each as amended; and also consist of certain other demand bank facilities with aggregate commitments of approximately $1.7 billion. As of January 31, 2016, we had approximately $2.9 billion outstanding under the Facilities. Royal Bank of Canada and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, inter alia, have provided the Corporation with a commitment letter for the Acquisition Facilities described under "Acquisition of Columbia — Financing of the Acquisition".

        As of the date hereof, the Corporation and its affiliates are in material compliance with all material terms of the agreements governing the Facilities and none of the Lenders has waived any material breach by the Corporation or its affiliates of those agreements since the Facilities were established. The financial position of the Corporation has not changed substantially and adversely since the indebtedness under the Facilities was incurred. None of the Lenders have been or will be involved in the decision to offer the Subscription Receipts and none have been or will be involved in the determination of the terms of any distribution of Subscription Receipts. Before the closing of the Acquisition, proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts may, from time to time, be invested in short-term deposits or securities, including with the Underwriters or their affiliates and may, upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition, be used to reduce indebtedness which the Corporation or its subsidiaries may have with one or more of the lenders which are related to certain Underwriters. See "Use of Proceeds".


ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

        We are a corporation incorporated under and governed by the CBCA. 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 Subscription Receipts 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 Subscription Receipts 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.

        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 Subscription Receipts under this prospectus.

CERTAIN CANADIAN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, the following summary, as of the date hereof, describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations in respect of a holder who acquires Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Offering and Common Shares pursuant to the Subscription Receipts. This summary is generally applicable to a beneficial owner of Subscription Receipts and Common Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts (the "Offered Securities") who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, holds the Offered Securities as capital property, deals at arm's length with the Corporation and the Underwriters, and is not affiliated with the Corporation (a "Holder"). Generally, Offered Securities will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not hold the Offered Securities in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

        This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof and counsel's understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing and publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Proposed Amendments") and assumes the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action or changes in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency, nor does it take into account other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ materially from those described in this summary.

        This summary is not applicable to a Holder (i) that is a "financial institution" for purposes of certain rules in the Tax Act (referred to as the mark-to-market rules applicable to securities held by financial institutions), (ii) an interest in which is a "tax shelter investment", (iii) that is a "specified financial institution", (iv) that reports its "Canadian tax results" in a currency other than the Canadian currency, or (v) that has entered, or will enter, into a "derivative forward agreement" with respect to the Offered Securities, each as defined in the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

        This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, Holders are urged to consult their own legal and tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them of acquiring Offered Securities pursuant to the Offering, having regard to their particular circumstances.

        This summary is based upon the understanding of counsel that a Subscription Receipt evidences a contractual right to acquire a Common Share on the satisfaction of certain conditions. No advance tax ruling in respect of the Offering has been sought from the Canada Revenue Agency and counsel is not aware of any judicial authority relating to this characterization.

Holders Resident In Canada

        This part of the summary is applicable to a Holder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a "Resident Holder"). Certain Resident Holders may be entitled to make or may have already made the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act, the effect of which may be to deem to be capital property any Common Shares (and all other "Canadian securities", as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years. This election is not available in respect of Subscription Receipts.

45


Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts

        A Resident Holder of Subscription Receipts will not be considered to dispose of the Subscription Receipt and will not realize any capital gain or capital loss upon the acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts. The cost of a Common Share received pursuant to a Subscription Receipt will generally be the total of (i) the amount paid to acquire the Subscription Receipt and (ii) the Resident Holder's pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds that is included in the Resident Holder's income and remitted to the Corporation upon the acquisition of the Common Share pursuant to the Subscription Receipt, less (iii) the aggregate of all Dividend Equivalent Payments received by or, in the event that the Dividend Equivalent Payment is received after the issuance of the Common Share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt, receivable by, the Resident Holder out of the Escrowed Funds that are a partial refund of the issue price for the Subscription Receipt and that reduce the cost to the Resident Holder of the Subscription Receipt as described under "Holders Resident in Canada — Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts — Dividend Equivalent Payment". The adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of Common Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such Common Shares with the adjusted cost base immediately before that time of any other Common Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at such time.

        A disposition or deemed disposition by a Resident Holder of a Subscription Receipt (which does not include the acquisition of a Common Share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt) other than upon the repayment of the issue price of the Subscription Receipt as a consequence of the Acquisition failing to close on or prior to the Termination Time, will generally result in the Resident Holder realizing a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition received in respect of the Subscription Receipt exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder thereof and any reasonable costs of disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described below under "Holders Resident in Canada — Holding and Disposing of Common Shares — Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

        The cost to a Resident Holder of a Subscription Receipt at any particular time will generally be the amount paid to acquire the Subscription Receipt less the aggregate of all Dividend Equivalent Payments received by the Resident Holder at or before that time in respect of the Subscription Receipt that are a partial refund of the issue price for the Subscription Receipt and that reduce the cost to the Resident Holder of the Subscription Receipt as described under "Holders Resident in Canada — Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts — Dividend Equivalent Payment". The adjusted cost base of a Subscription Receipt acquired at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such Subscription Receipt immediately before such time with the adjusted cost base of any other Subscription Receipts owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at such time.

        In the event the Acquisition fails to close on or prior to the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, the Termination Payment. The Termination Payment will be an amount equal to (i) the aggregate issue price of such holder's Subscription Receipts, plus (ii) any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments owing to such holders of Subscription Receipts. The Termination Payment will be comprised of the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, including interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds and, if the balance of the Escrowed Funds together with such interest is insufficient to cover the full amount of the Termination Payment, TransCanada will be contractually required to pay to the Escrow Agent as agent on behalf of holders of Subscription Receipts the deficiency, if any, between the amount of Escrowed Funds (including any interest credited or received) at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts (the "Top Up").

        The repayment of the issue price of the Subscription Receipt out of the Escrowed Funds as a consequence of the Acquisition failing to close on or prior to the Termination Time will generally result in the Resident Holder realizing a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition

46


received in respect of the Subscription Receipt exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder thereof and any reasonable costs of disposition. Any part of the Termination Payment that represents interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds will be, and the Top Up should be, excluded from the Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition of the Subscription Receipt. The cost to a Resident Holder of a Subscription Receipt at any particular time will generally be the amount paid to acquire the Subscription Receipt less the aggregate of all Dividend Equivalent Payments received by the Resident Holder at or before that time in respect of the Subscription Receipt that are a partial refund of the issue price for the Subscription Receipt and that reduce the cost to the Resident Holder of the Subscription Receipt as described under "Holders Resident in Canada — Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts — Dividend Equivalent Payment". The adjusted cost base of a Subscription Receipt at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such Subscription Receipt immediately before such time with the adjusted cost base of any other Subscription Receipts owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at such time. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described below under "Holders Resident in Canada — Holding and Disposing of Common Shares — Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

        Any part of the Termination Payment that represents interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds must be included in the income of the Resident Holder. The Top Up should be included in the income of the Resident Holder. For greater certainty, the Top Up should be taxed as ordinary income and will not be treated as a dividend for the purposes of the Tax Act and no part of the amount will benefit from the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable in respect of taxable dividends received by individuals from "taxable Canadian corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act). Where the Top Up is received by a corporation, the amount will not be deductible in computing the corporation's taxable income and will not result in the requirement to pay the refundable Part IV tax.

        In the event that a Termination Event occurs, a portion of the Termination Payment paid to a Resident Holder will be comprised of the Resident Holder's pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds, if any. In addition, a portion of the Dividend Equivalent Payments paid to a Resident Holder will be comprised of the Resident Holder's pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds to the date of the applicable payment, if any.

        A Resident Holder that is a corporation, partnership, unit trust or any trust of which a corporation or a partnership is a beneficiary will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year the amount of any interest accrued to the Resident Holder to the end of the Resident Holder's taxation year, or that is receivable or received by the Resident Holder before the end of that taxation year, except to the extent that such interest was included in computing the Resident Holder's income for a preceding taxation year. This will include any interest accrued on the Escrowed Funds, whether or not such amounts are received or receivable by such Resident Holder. However, in certain circumstances, an offsetting deduction may be available for any such interest which is remitted to the Corporation upon the acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to the Subscription Receipts or in the event that a Termination Event occurs.

        Any other Resident Holder, including an individual, that is entitled to receive its share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds will be required to include in computing income for a taxation year such interest that is receivable or received by the Resident Holder or by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Resident Holder in that taxation year, depending upon the method regularly followed by the Resident Holder in computing income. A Resident Holder that is, throughout the relevant taxation year, a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income", which is defined in the Tax Act to include interest income and may also include the Top Up.

        As described above under the heading "Details of the Offering", the holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive cash payments out of the Escrowed Funds (including from the interest credited or received thereon) equal to the Dividend Equivalent Payment concurrently with the payment of any dividends on the

47


Common Shares in respect of which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the last day on which the Subscription Receipts remain outstanding. In addition, in the event that the Escrow Release Condition is not satisfied and the Termination Time occurs after dividends have been declared on the Common Shares but before the record date for such dividends, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of such dividends declared on the Common Shares based on the ratio of the time between (i) the holder's last Dividend Equivalent Payment and the Termination Time to (ii) the holder's last Dividend Equivalent Payment and the dividend payment date for the dividends so declared. The Dividend Equivalent Payment, if any, will first be by way of a pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds and thereafter out of the Escrowed Funds as a refund of a portion of the issue price of the Subscription Receipt.

        The amount of such interest will generally be included in computing the Resident Holder's income as described under "Holders Resident in Canada — Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts — Pro Rata Share of Interest". If the amount of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds is less than the Dividend Equivalent Payment, an amount will be paid by the Escrow Agent out of the Escrowed Funds to the Resident Holder up to the amount of any shortfall as a partial refund of the issue price for the Subscription Receipt. Such refund amount generally will not be included in the Resident Holder's income and should reduce the cost of the Subscription Receipt to the Resident Holder.

        For greater certainty, the Dividend Equivalent Payment will not be treated as a dividend for the purposes of the Tax Act and no part of the Dividend Equivalent Payment will benefit from the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable in respect of taxable dividends received by individuals from "taxable Canadian corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act). Where the Dividend Equivalent Payment is received by a corporation, the amount will not be deductible in computing the corporation's taxable income and will not result in the requirement to pay the refundable Part IV tax.

Holding and Disposing of Common Shares

        A disposition or a deemed disposition of a Common Share by a Resident Holder (other than a tax-deferred transaction or a disposition to the Corporation that is not a sale in the open market in the manner in which shares would normally be purchased by any member of the public in an open market) will generally result in the Resident Holder realizing a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Common Share exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder thereof and any reasonable costs of disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described under "Holders Resident in Canada — Holding and Disposing of Common Shares — Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

        Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be included in the Resident Holder's income for the year. One-half of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be deducted from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year of disposition. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

        The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Common Share may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to be received by it on such Common Share (or on a share for which the Common Share has been substituted) to the extent and under the circumstances described by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares.

48


        A Resident Holder that is, throughout the relevant taxation year, a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional a refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income", which is defined in the Tax Act to include taxable capital gains.

        Capital gains realized by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) may result in such Resident Holder being liable for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

        Dividends received or deemed to be received on Common Shares held by a Resident Holder will be included in computing the Resident Holder's income for the purposes of the Tax Act. Such dividends received by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules in the Tax Act normally applicable to dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit in respect of dividends designated by the Corporation as eligible dividends in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. By notice in writing on the Corporation's website, the Corporation has advised its shareholders that all dividends paid by the Corporation will be "eligible dividends" unless the Corporation otherwise notifies its shareholders.

        Taxable dividends received by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) may result in such Resident Holder being liable for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

        A Resident Holder that is a corporation will include such dividends in computing its income and generally will be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act (as proposed to be amended by Proposed Amendments released on July 31, 2015) will treat a taxable dividend received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. Resident Holders that are corporations are urged to consult their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.

        A Resident Holder that is a "private corporation" or "subject corporation" (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay a refundable tax of 381/3% of dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder's taxable income. A Resident Holder that is, throughout the relevant taxation year, a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income", which is defined in the Tax Act to include dividends received or deemed to be received that are not deductible in computing income for a year.

Holders Not Resident In Canada

        This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold the Offered Securities in a business carried on in Canada (a "Non-Resident Holder"). This part of the summary is not applicable to Non-Resident Holders that are insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts

        A Non-Resident Holder of Subscription Receipts will not realize any capital gain or capital loss upon the acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to the terms of Subscription Receipts.

        On a disposition of a Subscription Receipt (other than on the acquisition of a Common Share pursuant to the terms of Subscription Receipts as discussed above), a Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized and may not recognize any capital loss incurred by such Non-Resident Holder, unless the Subscription Receipt constitutes "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in

49


the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and in respect of any capital gain, the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention.

        Provided the Common Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which currently includes the TSX) at the time of disposition of a Subscription Receipt, the Subscription Receipts will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder at that time, unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition of the Subscription Receipt: (a) one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder does not deal at arm's length, (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, has owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the Corporation, and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada; (ii) Canadian resource properties; (iii) timber resource properties; and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in or for civil law rights in, property in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists.

        A Non-Resident Holder contemplating a disposition of Subscription Receipts that may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult a tax advisor prior to such disposition.

        In the event the Acquisition fails to close on or prior to the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, the Termination Payment. The Termination Payment will be an amount equal to (i) the aggregate issue price of such holder's Subscription Receipts, plus (ii) any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments owing to such holders of Subscription Receipts. The Termination Payment will be comprised of the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, including any interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds and, if the balance of the Escrowed Funds together with such interest is insufficient to cover the full amount of the Termination Payment, TransCanada will be contractually required to pay to the Escrow Agent as agent on behalf of holders of Subscription Receipts the Top Up.

        The Top Up will be treated and reported as a dividend paid to a Non-Resident Holder and will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the statutory rate of 25% of the gross amount thereof (subject to reduction under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Holder's country of residence). For instance, where the Non-Resident Holder is a resident of the United States that is entitled to full benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, and is the beneficial owner of the payment, the rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%.

        In the event that a Termination Event occurs, a portion of the Termination Payment paid to a Non-Resident Holder will be comprised of the Non-Resident Holder's pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds, if any. A Non-Resident Holder will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax in respect of amounts paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited by the Escrow Agent as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, any such interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds.

        As described above under "Details of the Offering" the holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive cash payments out of the Escrowed Funds (including from the interest credited or received thereon) equal to the Dividend Equivalent Payment concurrently with the payment of any dividends on the Common Shares in respect of which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the last day on which the Subscription Receipts remain outstanding. In addition, in the event that the Escrow Release Condition is not satisfied and the Termination Time occurs after dividends have been declared on the Common Shares but before the record date for such dividends, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of such dividends declared on the Common Shares based on the ratio of the time between (i) the holder's last Dividend Equivalent Payment and the Termination Time to (ii) the holder's last Dividend Equivalent Payment and the dividend payment date for the dividends so declared. The Dividend Equivalent Payment, if any, will be paid first by way of a pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds and thereafter out of the Escrowed Funds as a refund of a portion of the issue price of the Subscription Receipt.

50


        The amount of such interest payable to a Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act provided that such interest is not "participating debt interest" (within the meaning of the Tax Act). If such interest is considered to be participating debt interest, the amount paid to a Non-Resident Holder would be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the statutory rate of 25% (subject to reduction under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Holder's country of residence).

        In this respect, it is uncertain whether or not such interest would constitute "participating debt interest" for purposes of the Tax Act. The Escrow Agent intends to withhold at the statutory rate of 25% (subject to reduction under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Holder's country of residence) on the portion of any Dividend Equivalent Payment which is paid by way of a pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds that is paid to a Non-Resident Holder.

        If the amount of the interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds is less than the Dividend Equivalent Payment, an amount will be paid by the Escrow Agent out of the Escrowed Funds to the Non-Resident Holder up to the amount of any shortfall as a partial refund of the subscription price paid for the Subscription Receipt. Such shortfall amount generally should reduce the cost to the Non-Resident Holder of the Common Shares acquired on the exchange of the Subscription Receipts and should not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

        Non-Resident Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the receipt of a Dividend Equivalent Payment.

Holding and Disposing of Common Shares

        Any dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on the Common Shares to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend or deemed dividend unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax convention, which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled to the benefits of, between Canada and the Non-Resident Holder's country of residence. For instance, where the Non-Resident Holder is a resident of the United States that is entitled to full benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, the rate of Canadian withholding tax applicable to dividends is generally reduced to 15%.

        A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-Resident Holder on a disposition of a Common Share, and may not recognize any capital loss realized, unless the Common Shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention. For a description of "taxable Canadian property", see "Other Dispositions of Subscription Receipts" above as analogous tests will apply in respect of the Common Shares. A Non-Resident Holder contemplating a disposition of Common Shares that may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult a tax advisor prior to such disposition.


CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following summary describes the material United States federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in each of the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), its legislative history, existing final, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to prospective and retroactive rulings and changes. The Corporation will not seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment relating to investment in the Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the conclusions set forth below.

51


        This summary does not purport to address all United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular investor and each investor is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding its specific tax situation. The summary applies only to holders who hold Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under the Code, and does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to investors in special tax situations including, for example:

        Further, this summary does not address the alternative minimum tax consequences of an investment in Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares or the indirect consequences to holders of equity interests in entities that own the Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares. In addition, this summary does not address the United States federal estate and gift, state, local and foreign tax consequences of an investment in the Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares. Each investor is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local and foreign and other tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing of the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares in its particular circumstances.

        An investor is a "United States holder" if it is a beneficial owner of Subscription Receipts or Common Shares and is:

        If a partnership holds Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships holding Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares should consult their own tax advisors.

        A "Non-United States holder" is a beneficial owner of Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares that is not a United States holder and is not treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.

        The United States federal income tax treatment of the Subscription Receipts for United States holders is subject to uncertainty. Except as provided below with respect to receipt of the Dividend Equivalent Payment, the

52


Corporation does not intend to treat United States holders of Subscription Receipts as subject to tax for United States federal income tax purposes in respect of amounts earned on the Escrowed Funds unless and until, depending upon the holder's method of tax accounting, such holders are entitled to such amounts or such amounts are distributed to such holders (which income would include amounts withheld in respect of any Canadian withholding tax). However, it is possible that the IRS could successfully assert that a United States holder of Subscription Receipts is subject to tax with respect to the holder's share of the income earned on Escrowed Funds at or before relinquishment of such Subscription Receipts even if Common Shares rather than the holder's share of Escrowed Funds are received.

        Notwithstanding any change in value of the Common Shares after the Offering Closing Date, no gain or loss will be recognized upon any receipt of the Common Shares. In addition, a United States holder's disposition of Subscription Receipts prior to relinquishment either for Common Shares or for the holder's share of Escrowed Funds will generally result in such holder realizing a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of the disposition are greater (or less) than its adjusted tax basis in the Subscription Receipts (except that, possibly, ordinary income could arise with respect to entitlement to a Dividend Equivalent Payment).

        Prospective purchasers of Subscription Receipts are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, settlement, and disposition of the Subscription Receipts.

        As described above under "Details of the Offering", in the event that a Termination Event occurs, holders of Subscription Receipts shall, commencing on the third business day following the Outside Date or the Termination Date as the case may be, be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent out of the Escrowed Funds an amount equal to the aggregate issue price of their Subscription Receipts, a portion of which will be comprised of their pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds, if any. Such payment likely will be treated as ordinary interest income to United States holders and will be foreign source income for foreign tax credit purposes and the Corporation intends, to the extent it is required to do so, to report it as such.

        As described above under "Details of the Offering", if a dividend is declared by the Corporation prior to the Termination Date, the holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive the Dividend Equivalent Payment out of the Escrowed Funds concurrently with the payment date of each such dividend. The Dividend Equivalent Payment, if any, will be paid first by way of a pro rata share of interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds.

        Such payment likely will be treated as ordinary interest income to United States holders and will be foreign source income for foreign tax credit purposes and the Corporation intends, to the extent it is required to do so, to report it as such.

        If the amount of the interest credited or received on the Escrowed Funds is less than the Dividend Equivalent Payment, an amount will be paid by the Escrow Agent out of the Escrowed Funds to the United States Holder up to the amount of any shortfall as a partial refund of the subscription price paid for the Subscription Receipt. Such shortfall amount generally will reduce the cost, and therefore initial tax basis, to the United States Holder of the Common Shares acquired on the exchange of the Subscription Receipts and will not be subject to United States tax at such time.

        If, on Termination of the Escrow, the Corporation is required as a result of the payment of Dividend Equivalent Payments to pay an amount such that the Termination Payment equals the amount to which a holder of Subscription Receipts is entitled, such holder likely would be required to include such amount in income, as ordinary interest income, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

53


        Cash distributions made by the Corporation to a United States holder with respect to Common Shares (including amounts withheld in respect of any Canadian withholding taxes) generally will be taxable to such United States holder as ordinary dividend income when such United States holder receives the distribution, actually or constructively, to the extent paid out of the Corporation's current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes). If these dividends constitute qualified dividend income ("QDI"), non-corporate United States holders, including individuals, of the Common Shares will generally pay tax on such dividends received at a maximum rate of 20%, provided certain holding period requirements and other conditions are satisfied. Assuming the Corporation is not a passive foreign investment company (as discussed below) during the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year, dividends paid by the Corporation will be QDI if the Corporation is a qualified foreign corporation ("QFC") at the time the dividends are paid. The Corporation believes that it is currently, and will continue to be, a QFC so as to allow all dividends paid by it to be QDI for United States federal income tax purposes. Distributions in excess of the Corporation's current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital reducing such United States holder's tax basis in the Common Shares. Any distribution in excess of such tax basis will be treated as capital gain and will be either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the United States holder held the Common Shares for more than one year. Dividends paid by the Corporation generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to certain United States corporate shareholders.

        Subject to certain limitations, a United States holder may be entitled to a credit or deduction against its United States federal income taxes for the amount of any Canadian taxes that are withheld from dividend distributions made to such United States holder. The decision to claim either a credit or deduction must be made annually and will apply to all foreign taxes paid by the United States holder to any foreign country or United States possession with respect to the applicable tax year. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. Income received with respect to the Common Shares will be treated as foreign source income and generally will constitute "passive category income" or "general category income" for United States foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The rules regarding the availability of foreign tax credits are complex and United States holders may be subject to various limitations on the amount of foreign tax credits that are available. The Corporation therefore urges prospective purchasers to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

        The amount of any cash distribution paid in Canadian dollars will equal the U.S. dollar value of the distribution, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of the distribution is includable in income by the United States holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars at that time. Generally, a United States holder should not recognize any foreign currency gain or loss if such Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of the distribution. If the Canadian dollars are not converted into U.S. dollars on such date, however, gain or loss may be recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the Canadian dollars. Such foreign currency gain or loss, if any, will be United States source ordinary income or loss.

        A United States holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Common Shares measured by the difference between the amount received and the United States holder's tax basis in the Common Shares which should generally equal the United States holder's tax basis in the Subscription Receipts. Any gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source gain or loss. For this purpose, the holding period in the Common Shares received upon relinquishment of the Subscription Rights generally will begin on the day following such relinquishment. A holder's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

        For cash-basis United States holders that receive foreign currency in connection with a sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, the amount realized will be based upon the United States dollar value of the

54


foreign currency received with respect to such Common Shares as determined on the settlement date of such sale or other taxable disposition. Accrual-basis United States holders may elect the same treatment required of cash-basis taxpayers with respect to a sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year. Such election cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS. Accrual-basis United States holders that do not elect to be treated as cash-basis taxpayers (pursuant to the Treasury Regulations applicable to foreign currency transactions) for this purpose may have a foreign currency gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes because of differences between the United States dollar value of the foreign currency received prevailing on the date of such sale or other taxable disposition and the value prevailing on the date of payment. Any such currency gain or loss will generally be treated as ordinary income or loss that is United States source, in addition to the gain or loss, if any, recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares.

        United States holders generally will be subject to a special, adverse tax regime that would differ in certain respects from the tax treatment described above if the Corporation is, or were to become, a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for United States federal income tax purposes. Although the determination of whether a corporation is a PFIC is made annually based on the facts and circumstances in existence at such time and consequently may be subject to change, the Corporation does not believe that the Corporation is, nor does the Corporation expect to become, a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes. However, the matter is not free from doubt. The Corporation urges holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the adverse tax consequences of owning the Common Shares were we to be a PFIC and making certain elections designed to lessen those adverse consequences.

        Certain individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds are required to pay a 3.8% additional tax on "net investment income," including, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in a trade or business). Accordingly, dividends on and capital gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of the Common Shares may be subject to this additional tax.

        Non-United States holders generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax on dividends received from the Corporation with respect to Common Shares, unless such income is considered effectively connected with the Non-United States holder's conduct of a United States trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the income is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained in the United States). Non-United States holders generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares unless:

        In addition, if the holder is a corporate Non-United States holder, any effectively connected dividend income or gain (subject to certain adjustments) may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (unless reduced or exempted by an applicable income tax treaty).

        In general, payments in respect of income earned on the holder's share of Escrowed Funds received in lieu of Common Shares, dividends on Common Shares, and payments of the proceeds of a sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares, paid to a United States holder within the United States or through certain United States-related financial intermediaries are subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup

55


withholding at a rate of 28% unless the holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient, or provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred.

        Non-United States holders generally are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, such holders may be required to provide a certification to establish its non-U.S. status in connection with payments received within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax. A holder generally will be allowed a credit of the amount of any backup withholding against its United States federal income tax liability by timely furnishing the required information to the IRS or may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules that exceed the holder's income tax liability by timely filing a refund claim with the IRS.


ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

        In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, based on the provisions of the Tax Act in force on the date hereof, the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts will be qualified investments at the time of acquisition by a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP"), registered retirement income fund ("RRIF"), deferred profit sharing plan, registered education savings plan, registered disability savings plan, or a tax-free savings account ("TFSA"), each as defined in the Tax Act (each a "Plan") provided that, at the time of the acquisition by the Plan, (i) in the case of the Common Shares, either such shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" as defined in the Tax Act, (which includes the TSX) or the Corporation is a "public corporation", as such terms are defined in the Tax Act, and (ii) in the case of the Subscription Receipts, either the Subscription Receipts are listed on a designated stock exchange or (a) the Common Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange, (b) neither the Corporation, nor any person with whom the Corporation does not deal at arm's length for the purposes of the Tax Act, is an annuitant, a beneficiary, an employer or a subscriber under, or a holder of, the particular Plan, and (c) the Escrowed Funds are invested in qualified investments for Plans.

        Notwithstanding that Subscription Receipts and Common Shares may be qualified investments for a trust governed by an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA, the holder of a TFSA or the annuitant of an RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax if the Subscription Receipts and/or Common Shares, as the case may be, are a "prohibited investment" within the meaning of the Tax Act. The Subscription Receipts and Common Shares will not be a prohibited investment for a TFSA, RRSP or RRIF provided the holder of a TFSA or annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, (i) deals at arm's length with the Corporation, for purposes of the Tax Act, and (ii) does not have a "significant interest" (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Corporation. Prospective investors who intend to hold Subscription Receipts or Common Shares in their TFSA, RRSP or RRIF are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

COLUMBIA PIPELINE GROUP, INC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc.
Houston, Texas

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of consolidated and combined operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such consolidated and combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, on February 11, 2015 the Company completed the initial public offering of limited partner interests of Columbia Pipeline Partners LP for net proceeds of $1,168.4 million and as discussed in Note 1 on July 1, 2015 the Company completed its spin-off from NiSource Inc.

Represents the sale of an additional 8.4% limited partner interest in Columbia OpCo, recorded at the historical carrying value of Columbia OpCo's net assets after giving effect to the $1,168.4 million equity contribution. This decreases the noncontrolling interest by the same amount it increases the net parent investment because CPPL's purchase price for its additional 8.4% interest in Columbia OpCo exceeded book value.

UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015

A-68



UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the proposed transaction between TransCanada PipeLines Limited ("TCPL"), TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. ("TransCanada Holdco") and Taurus Merger Sub Inc. ("Merger Sub"), all direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of TransCanada Corporation ("TransCanada" or the "Corporation"), and Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. ("Columbia") using the acquisition method of accounting. On March 17, 2016, TCPL, TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub, all direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation, and the Corporation (for the limited purposes of pursuing regulatory approvals and obtaining the financing for the Acquisition and providing representations and warranties), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Columbia, pursuant to which TCPL, indirectly through TransCanada Holdco and Merger Sub, agreed to acquire Columbia through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Columbia (the "Acquisition") for a purchase price of approximately $14.15 billion (U.S.$10.25 billion) in cash, as described in the preliminary short form prospectus of TransCanada dated March 17, 2016 (the "Prospectus"). Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to various approvals.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical audited consolidated financial statements of TransCanada and Columbia and notes thereto, and the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet data as at December 31, 2015 of TransCanada has been prepared to give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income of TransCanada, for the year ended December 31, 2015, has been prepared to give effect to the Acquisition as if it occurred on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments for which there are firm commitments and for which the complete financial effects are objectively determinable as well as adjustments to conform Columbia's financial statement amounts to TransCanada's accounting policies.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income includes adjustments that are expected to have a continuing impact on the condensed consolidated results but excludes adjustments arising from non-recurring effects of the transaction that are not expected to continue in future periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet includes adjustments that are directly attributable to the transaction and factually supportable, regardless of whether they have continuing effect or are non-recurring. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements expected to result from the transactions or the costs to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements exclude the impact of permanent financing through the planned monetization of the Corporation's U.S. Northeast merchant power assets and of a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business.

        The pro forma adjustments are based on available preliminary information and certain assumptions that management of TransCanada believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for informational purposes only. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors, including those discussed in TransCanada's 2015 Management's Discussion and Analysis and Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE
DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

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 an individual acting 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, as the case may be, to the best interests of such other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at TransCanada's request; 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 (as such term is defined in the CBCA), 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 Section 6 of 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 March 17, 2016.

        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.
