TRP.PR.E : No Conversion To FloatingReset

TC Energy Corporation has announced:

that 173,386 of its 18,000,000 fixed rate Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares, Series 9 (Series 9 Shares) were deposited for conversion on October 30, 2019 on a one-for-one basis into floating rate Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares, Series 10 (Series 10 Shares).

As previously announced in our news release dated September 18, 2019, the conversions are subject to the conditions that: (i) if TC Energy determines that there would be less than one million Series 9 Shares outstanding after October 30, 2019, then all remaining Series 9 Shares will automatically be converted into Series 10 Shares on a one-for-one basis on October 30, 2019 and (ii) alternatively, if TC Energy determines that there would be less than one million Series 10 Shares outstanding after October 30, 2019, no Series 9 Shares will be converted into Series 10 Shares.

As the total number of Series 9 Shares deposited for conversion did not meet the threshold set out above, no Series 9 Shares will be converted into Series 10 Shares on October 30, 2019.

For more information on the terms of and risks associated with an investment in the Series 9 Shares and the Series 10 Shares, please see our prospectus supplement dated January 13, 2014 which is available on sedar.com or on our website.

It will be recalled that TRP.PR.E will reset at 3.762% effective October 30, 2019
