1 Reflects the repurchase and cancellation of common shares under our normal course issuer bid. On May 15, 2024, we filed prospectus supplements in Canada and the US to establish an at-the-market equity issuance program (the ATM Program) that allowed us to issue and sell, at our discretion, up to $2.75 billion (or the US dollar equivalent) of our common shares from treasury to the public from time to time at the market prices prevailing at the time of sale through the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or any other marketplace in Canada or the US where the common shares may be traded. During the period from May 15, 2024 to July 31, 2024, 51,298,629 common shares were issued and sold under the ATM Program at average prices of CAD$48.72 and US$35.77 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.50 billion ($2.48 billion, net of aggregate commissions paid of $16.3 million and other issuance costs). On August 1, 2024, we terminated the ATM Program. Net proceeds from sales of common shares under the ATM Program were used to partially fund the Questar Acquisition and PSNC Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. On September 8, 2023, we closed a public offering of 102,913,500 common shares at a price of $44.70 per share for gross proceeds of $4.6 billion which were also used to finance a portion of the aggregate cash consideration payable for the Acquisitions discussed in Note 8 - Acquisitions and Disposition.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN The Shareholder Rights Plan is designed to encourage the fair treatment of our shareholders in connection with any takeover offer.
