Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. has announced:

the completion of its previously announced acquisition by La Caisse by way of a plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, La Caisse has acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Innergex (other than those held by La Caisse and certain members of senior management rolling over (the “Rollover Shareholders”)) for a price of $13.75 per common share in cash. All of the issued and outstanding preferred shares Series A and Series C of Innergex were also acquired by La Caisse for $25.00 per preferred share in cash (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and, in the case of the Series A preferred shares, an amount in cash per Series A preferred share equal to the dividends that would have been payable in respect of such share until January 15, 2026, which is the next available redemption date). All of the outstanding 4.65% subordinated unsecured convertible debentures of Innergex have been repaid in full upon completion of the Arrangement, including as to principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

As previously announced, La Caisse has syndicated approximately 20% of its invested capital to bring in like-minded investors who share its vision for the next chapter of Innergex’s growth.

As part of the Arrangement, certain members of senior management of Innergex, including Mr. Michel Letellier, Innergex’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jean Trudel, Innergex’s Chief Financial Officer, have rolled over a portion of their common shares and reinvested in the privatized Innergex.

La Caisse has caused to be delivered to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), the depositary for the Arrangement, sufficient funds to enable it to make payments to Innergex shareholders (other than the Rollover Shareholders) pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement. In accordance with the Arrangement, payment will be made by Computershare to Innergex shareholders (other than the Rollover Shareholders) as soon as practicable following the date hereof.

Letters of transmittal have been mailed to registered shareholders and are also available under the profile of Innergex at www.sedarplus.ca. The letters of transmittal explain how registered shareholders can deposit and obtain payment for their shares. Registered shareholders must return their duly completed letters of transmittal to Computershare in order to receive the consideration to which they are entitled for their shares.

As a result of the completion of the Arrangement, it is expected that the common shares, preferred shares Series A and Series C and the 4.65% subordinated unsecured convertible debentures of Innergex will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange on or about July 22, 2025. Innergex has applied to cease to be a reporting issuer under the securities legislation of each province of Canada where Innergex is currently a reporting issuer.

Pending any such use of the net proceeds of the Offering, Pembina may either invest the net proceeds from the issuance of the Series 2 Notes in bank deposits and/or other money market instruments or temporarily reduce short-term indebtedness.

The terms of the consent solicitation and proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Series 1 Notes will be described in a consent solicitation statement to be delivered to the registered holders of Series 1 Notes.

Pembina intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the previously announced redemption of its outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 19 (TSX: PPL.PR.S) (the “Series 19 Class A Preferred Shares”) and for general corporate purposes.

The Series 2 Notes were offered through a syndicate of underwriters, co-led by CIBC Capital Markets, BMO Capital Markets and Scotiabank, under Pembina’s short form base shelf prospectus dated December 13, 2023, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated June 2, 2025.

As previously announced, Pembina intends to commence a consent solicitation from holders of its $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.80% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1 due January 25, 2081 (the “Series 1 Notes”) to amend the indenture governing the Series 1 Notes to, among other things, provide for an exchange right to allow the holders of the Series 1 Notes to exchange all outstanding principal amount of their Series 1 Notes for an equal principal amount of a new series of notes (the “Series 3 Notes”) having substantially the same economic terms, including interest rate, interest payment dates, interest reset dates, maturity date and redemption provisions as the Series 1 Notes, but excluding provisions of the Series 1 Notes regarding the delivery of preferred shares upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and related events, together with an entitlement under the Series 3 Notes for payment of an amount equal to the interest accrued on the Series 1 Notes that are exchanged. The removal of the provisions for delivery of preferred shares upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and related events from the Series 3 Notes would ensure that the Series 3 Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Series 2 Notes upon the occurrence of such events. The terms of the consent solicitation and proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Series 1 Notes will be described in a consent solicitation statement to be delivered to the registered holders of Series 1 Notes. Pembina reserves the right not to commence the consent solicitation, or to terminate, withdraw, extend or modify the terms of the consent solicitation, in its sole discretion.
