TransCanada Corporation (“TCC” or the “Corporation”) is hereby qualifying the distribution (the “Offering”) of · common shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares”).

We are permitted, as a Canadian issuer, under the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States (“U.S.”), to prepare this short form prospectus (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”.

You should be aware that the acquisition of the Common Shares described herein may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the U.S. This prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion under “Certain Income Tax Considerations” in this prospectus.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that we are incorporated under the laws of Canada, that some or all of our officers and directors may be residents of Canada, that some or all of the experts named in the registration statement may be residents of Canada and that a substantial portion of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of said persons are located outside the of 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.

Price: $· per Common Share

(1)                                 Before deducting the estimated expenses of the Offering of approximately $·.

(2)                                 The Corporation has granted to the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable at any time up to 30 days following the Offering Closing Date (as defined below), to purchase up to an additional · Common Shares at the Offering price.  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 of the Offering, will be $·, $· and $·, respectively.  See “Plan of Distribution”. The distribution of the Common Shares that may be issued on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option is also qualified under this prospectus. A purchaser who acquires any of the Common Shares 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. See “Plan of Distribution”.

The issued and outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TRP”. On October 31, 2016, the closing prices of the Common Shares on such exchanges were $60.72 and U.S.$45.28, respectively.

It is currently anticipated that the closing date of the Offering (the “Offering Closing Date”) will be on or about November 16, 2016, or such later date as the Corporation and the Underwriters may agree but in any event not later than ·, 2016. See “Details of the Offering”.

TD Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), as principals, conditionally offer the Common Shares, 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from a registered dealer which is a CDS participant and from or through which the Common Shares 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 Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. The Underwriters propose to offer the Common Shares initially at the Offering price specified above. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Common Shares at the price specified, the Underwriters may reduce the selling price to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the Common Shares remaining unsold. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Investing in the Common Shares involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors”.

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.

See “Relationship Between the Corporation and the Underwriters”, “Use of Proceeds” and “Plan of Distribution — Conflicts of Interest”.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Common Shares offered hereunder involves certain risks.  In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, prospective purchasers of Common Shares should consider carefully the risk factors set forth below, as well as the risk factors contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

Market Price

The market price of the Common Shares 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 Common Shares in the marketplace, failure to meet analysts’ expectations, the impact of any public announcements made in regard to this Offering, general market conditions or the worldwide economy.  In recent years, the Common Shares and stock markets in Canada and the United States have experienced significant price fluctuations, which may have been unrelated to the operating performance of the Corporation or the affected companies.  There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Shares will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Corporation’s performance.

Dividends

Dividends to be paid by the Corporation 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 its Common Shares is funded primarily 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 its Common Shares.

USE OF PROCEEDS

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 which are estimated to be approximately $·. If the Underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment Option in full, the net proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $· after deducting the Underwriters’ fee of approximately $• and before deducting the expenses of the Offering.

For purposes of financing the Acquisition, TCPL and TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders providing for senior unsecured asset sale bridge term loan credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$6.9 billion (the “Acquisition Credit Facilities”).The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to repay a portion of the indebtedness under the Acquisition Credit Facilities incurred to finance the Acquisition. For a description of the Acquisition, see the Business Acquisition Report.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, since September 30, 2016. After giving effect to the Offering, 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.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, of which approximately 803,428,549 million were issued and outstanding as of October 31, 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, 10 million Series 11 Shares and 20 million Series 13 Shares were outstanding as of October 31, 2016; and an unlimited number of Second Preferred Shares, issuable in series, of which none were outstanding as of October 31, 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

8

Table of Contents

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.

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

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 holders of the First Preferred Shares may be given by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3 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

On November 1, 2016 we declared a quarterly dividend to holders of record of our outstanding Common Shares on December 30, 2016 of $0.565 per Common Share for the quarter ending December 31, 2016, which equates to an annual dividend of $2.26 per Common Share. We declared dividends per Common Share of $1.60 in 2010, $1.68 in 2011, $1.76 in 2012, $1.84 in 2013, $1.92 in 2014, and $2.08 in 2015, and have increased the dividend on our Common Shares for 16 consecutive years, starting from a dividend of $0.80 per Common Share in 2000.

Table of Contents

In our Q3 2016 MD&A, we provided updates on a series of strategic initiatives which are expected to support an average annual dividend growth rate at the upper end of our previous average annual dividend growth rate expectation of 8 to 10 percent through 2020.

PRIOR SALES

The Corporation has not sold or issued any Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, during the 12-month period prior to the date hereof other than: (i) 96,600,000 subscription receipts on April 1, 2016 (the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $45.75 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,419,450,000; (ii) 96,600,000 Common Shares pursuant to the automatic exchange of the Subscription Receipts for no additional consideration, in accordance with the terms thereof, on July 4, 2016; (iii) an aggregate of 1,975,721 Common Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $37.70 on the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Corporation’s stock option plans, for aggregate consideration of approximately $74,484,745; (iv) an aggregate of 1,950 Common Shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan on September 30, 2016 at an effective purchase price of $62.51 per Common Share, being a 2% discount to the daily average of the weighted average price of all Common Shares of the Corporation traded on the TSX during each of the five trading days preceding September 30, 2016, in lieu of making cash dividend payments to certain holders of our Series 1, 2, 3 and 4 Preferred Shares; (v) an aggregate of 2,934,134 Common Shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan on October 31, 2016 at an effective purchase price of $60.15 per Common Share, being a 2% discount to the daily average of the weighted average price of all Common Shares traded on the TSX during each of the five trading days preceding October 31, 2016, in lieu of making cash dividend payments to certain holders of our Common Shares and of our Series 5, 6, 7 and 9 Preferred Shares; and (vi) an aggregate of 6337 Common Shares issued pursuant to the optional cash payment feature of our dividend reinvestment plan on October 31, 2016, at a non-discounted price of $61.3767 per Common Share.

TRADING PRICE AND VOLUME

The Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX and the NYSE under the symbol “TRP”. The following table sets forth the reported monthly high, low and closing trading prices and monthly trading volumes of the Common Shares for the period from October 1, 2015 to October 31, 2016 on each of the TSX and the NYSE.

DEPOSITORY SERVICES

The Common Shares 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 Common Shares to be delivered to, and registered in the name of, CDS or its nominee. All rights of holders of Common Shares must be exercised through, and all payments or other property to which such holder of Common Shares is entitled, will be made or delivered by, CDS or the CDS Participant through which the holder of Common Shares holds such Common Shares. Each person who acquires Common Shares will receive only a customer confirmation of purchase from the registered dealer from or through which the Common Shares 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 Common Shares.

Table of Contents

The ability of a beneficial owner of Common Shares to pledge such Common Shares or otherwise take action with respect to such owner’s interest in such 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 Common Shares through the book entry only system, in which event certificates for Common Shares 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 Common Shares held by CDS or the payments relating thereto; (b) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the Common Shares; or (c) any advice or representation made by or with respect to CDS including 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 Common Shares must look solely to CDS Participants for payments made by or on behalf of the Corporation to CDS in respect of the Common Shares.

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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares will be made available.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated November •, 2016 among the Corporation and the Underwriters, the Corporation has agreed to sell an aggregate of • Common Shares to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters have severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agreed to purchase from the Corporation, as principals, such Common Shares at a price of $• per Common Share 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 Common Share 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 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 • Common Shares at a price of $• per Common Share. 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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, 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 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 Common Shares.

If an Underwriter fails to purchase the Common Shares which it has agreed to purchase, the other Underwriters may, but are not obligated to, purchase such Common Shares, provided that, if the aggregate number of Common Shares not purchased is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters, then each of the other Underwriters is obligated to purchase severally the Common Shares 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 Common Shares if any Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares offered by this prospectus at the price specified herein, the offering price may be decreased and may be further changed from time to time to an amount not greater

11

Table of Contents

than that specified on the cover page of this prospectus. In the event the Offering price of the Common Shares 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 Common Shares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation for the Common Shares. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation.

Subscriptions for Common Shares 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.

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 the Underwriters, 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 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 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 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”, the net proceeds of the Offering will be used, directly or indirectly, to repay a portion of the indebtedness incurred to finance the Acquisition. See “Use of Proceeds”. As a result, one or more of the Underwriters or their affiliates may receive more than 5% of the net Offering proceeds 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.

Table of Contents

The Corporation has not authorized and does not authorize the making of any offer of the Common Shares through any financial intermediary on its behalf, other than offers made by the Underwriters with a view to the final placement of the Common Shares as contemplated in this prospectus.

Accordingly, no purchaser of the Common Shares, other than the Underwriters, is authorized to make any further offer of the Common Shares in any relevant member state on behalf of the Corporation or the Underwriters.

In addition, all applicable provisions of the FSMA must be complied with in relation to anything done to the Common Shares 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 the Underwriters is, directly or indirectly, a subsidiary of certain lenders (the “Lenders”) which have extended credit facilities (collectively, the “Facilities”) to the Corporation or its affiliates. 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 unsecured syndicated facilities: our TCPL and TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. (“TC USA Ltd.”) Acquisition Credit Facilities; our TCPL $3.0 billion amended and restated credit agreement; our TCPL U.S.$1.0 billion credit agreement; a TC USA Ltd. U.S.$1.5 billion credit agreement; and a TransCanada American Investments Ltd. and TransCanada Power Marketing Ltd. U.S.$1.5 billion credit agreement; each as amended; and also consist of certain other demand bank facilities with aggregate commitments of approximately $1.7 billion. As of October 31, 2016, we had approximately $11.0 billion outstanding under the Facilities.

As of the date hereof, the Corporation and its affiliates are in compliance with all material terms of the agreements governing the Facilities and none of the Lenders has waived any 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 Common Shares and none have been or will be involved in the determination of the terms of any distribution of Common Shares. Proceeds from the sale of Common Shares will be used to reduce indebtedness which the Corporation or its subsidiaries have with one or more Lenders which are related to an Underwriter. See “Use of Proceeds”.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

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

13

Table of Contents

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

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

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Certain Canadian Federal 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 is, as of the date of this prospectus, a fair summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) to a purchaser who acquires as beneficial owner Common Shares pursuant to this Offering and who, for purposes of the Tax Act, deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with the Corporation or the Underwriters, and acquires and holds the Common Shares as capital property (a “Holder”). Generally, the Common Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided that the Holder does not use or hold the Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities and such Holder has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a “financial institution” for purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) that reports its “Canadian tax results” (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than Canadian currency; or (v) that has entered or will enter into, with respect to the Common Shares, a “derivative forward agreement”, as defined in the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in Common Shares.

This summary is based on the provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereto (the “Regulations”) in force as of the date hereof, and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) published in writing by the CRA and publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by way of judicial, legislative or governmental decision or action. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations, and does not take into account other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ materially from those described in this summary.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representations concerning the tax consequences to any particular Holder are made. The tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Common Shares will vary according to the Holder’s particular circumstances. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax considerations applicable to them having regard to their particular circumstances.

Residents of Canada

The following portion of this summary is applicable to a Holder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention and at all relevant times, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”). A Resident Holder to whom the Common Shares might not constitute capital property may make, in certain circumstances, the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have the Common Shares, and all other Canadian securities held by such person, treated as capital property.  Resident Holders considering making such election should first consult their own tax advisors.

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends received or deemed to be received on a Common Share will be included in computing a Resident Holder’s income for purposes of the Tax Act. Dividends received by a Resident Holder who is an individual will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to taxable dividends paid by taxable Canadian corporations. To the extent that the Corporation designates the dividends as “eligible dividends” within the meaning of the Tax Act in the prescribed manner, such dividends will be eligible for the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit. The Corporation has, by notice on its website, indicated

14

Table of Contents

that all dividends paid by it after December 31, 2005 will be designated as eligible dividends unless otherwise notified. Dividends received by individuals (other than certain trusts) may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act, depending on the individual’s circumstances.

Dividends received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation will be included in computing the corporation’s income and will generally be deductible in computing its taxable income.  In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat a taxable dividend received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation as a gain from the disposition of capital property or proceeds of disposition. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances. A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation”, each as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable to pay a refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received (or deemed to be received) on the Common Shares to the extent that 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” (as defined in the Tax Act), including any dividends or deemed dividends that are not deductible in computing the Resident Holder’s taxable income.

Disposition of Common Shares

Upon a disposition or a deemed disposition of a Common Share (other than in 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), a Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Common Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Common Share to the Resident Holder. The cost to the Resident Holder of a Common Share acquired pursuant to this Offering will, at any particular time, be determined by averaging the cost of such share with the adjusted cost base of all Common Shares of the Corporation owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at that time, if any.

One half of any such capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Resident Holder will be required to be included in computing the Resident Holder’s income, and one half of any such capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized by a Resident Holder must generally be deducted against taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year of disposition. Allowable capital losses not deductible in the taxation year in which they are realized may ordinarily be deducted by the Resident Holder against taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding taxation years or any subsequent taxation year, subject to the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act in this regard. Capital gains realized by an individual (other than certain trusts) may be subject to alternative minimum tax.

If the Resident Holder is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Common Share by the Resident Holder may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to have been received by the Resident Holder on such Common Shares to the extent and in the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares, or where a partnership or trust is itself a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares.

If the Resident Holder is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act), the Resident Holder may also be liable to pay a refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income”, which is defined to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains.

Non-Resident Holders

The following portion of this summary is applicable to a Holder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention and at all relevant times, is not resident or deemed to be resident in Canada and who does not use or hold (and is not deemed to use or hold) the Common Shares in connection with a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). This part of the summary is not applicable to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada.

This part of the summary is not applicable to a Non-Resident Holder whose Common Shares are or are deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” for purposes of the Tax Act. Provided that the Common Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes the TSX and the NYSE) at a particular time, the Common Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Holder at that time unless, at any time during the five year period immediately preceding that time: (i) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock were owned by any combination of (a) the Non-Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) more than 50% of the value of the Common Shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of (a) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (b) Canadian resource properties, (c) timber resource properties, and (d) options in respect of any such property, all for purposes of the Tax Act. A Non-Resident Holder’s Common Shares can also be deemed to be taxable Canadian property in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act.

15

Table of Contents

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited by the Corporation to a Non-Resident Holder will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any applicable reduction in the rate of  such withholding under an income tax treaty between Canada and the country where the Holder is resident. For example, under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the “Treaty”), the withholding tax rate in respect of a dividend paid to a person who is the beneficial owner of the dividend and is resident in the United States for purposes of, and entitled to full benefits under, the Treaty, is generally reduced to 15%.  Non-Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Disposition of Common Shares

A Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on the disposition of Common Shares.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

General

In the opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, counsel to the Corporation with respect to United States federal income tax, the following summary describes the material United States federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in 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 Common Shares and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the conclusions set forth below.

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 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:

·                                          insurance companies;

·                                          regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;

·                                          tax exempt organizations;

·                                          broker dealers:

·                                          traders in securities that elect to mark to market;

·                                          banks or other financial institutions;

·                                          investors whose functional currency is not the US dollar;

·                                          United States expatriates;

·                                          investors that hold the Common Shares as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction;

·                                          holders that purchase or otherwise acquire Common Shares other than through this Offering; or

·                                          holders that own, directly, indirectly, or constructively 10.0% or more of the Corporation’s total combined voting stock.

Further, this summary does not address the alternative minimum tax consequences of an investment in Common Shares or the indirect consequences to holders of equity interests in entities that own the Common Shares.  In addition, this summary does not address the state, local and foreign tax consequences of an investment in the Common Shares.  Each investor should 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 Common Shares in its particular circumstances.

An investor is a “United States holder” if it is a beneficial owner of Common Shares and is for United States federal income tax purposes:

·                                          an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

·                                          a corporation, or any other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia;

·                                          an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or

·                                          a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if the trust has made a valid election to be treated as a United States person.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds 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 Common Shares should consult their own tax advisors.

Dividends on Common Shares

Dividends paid 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 dividend, 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 and does not become a passive foreign investment company (as discussed below), 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.  Dividends 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 dividends 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.  Dividends 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 dividend paid in Canadian dollars will equal the US dollar value of the dividend, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect at the time the dividend is includable in income by the United States holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to US 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 US dollars on the date includable in income.  If the Canadian dollars are not converted into US dollars on the date includable in income, 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.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Shares

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.  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.  Long-term capital gains of non-corporate United States holders, including individuals, will be eligible for reduced tax rates, at a maximum of 20%.  A holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

For cash-basis United States holders who receive foreign currency in connection with a sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares, the amount realized will be based upon the United States dollar value of the foreign currency received with respect to such Common Shares as determined on the settlement date of such sale, exchange or other disposition.  Accrual-basis United States holders may elect the same treatment required of cash-basis taxpayers with respect to a sale, exchange or other 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, exchange or other 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, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares.

Additional Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income

An additional 3.8% tax is imposed on the “net investment income” of certain U.S. citizens and resident aliens, and on the undistributed “net investment income” of certain estates and trusts. Among other items, “net investment income” generally includes gross income from dividends and net gain from the disposition of property, such as our Common Shares, less certain deductions. You should consult your tax advisor with respect to this additional tax.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

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 it to be or become a PFIC and making certain elections designed to lessen those adverse consequences.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, 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 withholding at a rate currently equal to 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.

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 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, subject to the provisions of any particular plan, the Common Shares offered hereby if issued on the date hereof, would be, as of the date hereof, qualified investments under the Tax Act and the Regulations for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (“RRSP”), a registered retirement income fund (“RRIF”), a registered education savings plan, a registered disability savings plan, a deferred profit sharing plan, or a tax free savings account (“TFSA”).

Notwithstanding that the Common Shares may be qualified investments for a trust governed by an RRSP, RRIF or a TFSA, the annuitant under an RRSP or RRIF or the holder of a TFSA may be subject to a penalty tax if such Common Shares are “prohibited investments” for the RRSP, RRIF or TFSA within the meaning of the Tax Act. The Common Shares will generally not be a “prohibited investment” provided that the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF or the holder of the TFSA, as the case may be, deals at arm’s length with the Corporation for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Corporation.

Prospective investors who intend to hold Common Shares in their TFSA, RRSP or RRIF are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

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 November 1, 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.
