<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We are very pleased with the solid support from our shareholders for this transformative transaction,&#148; said Joseph L. Welch, Chairman, President and CEO of ITC.&nbsp;&#147;Fortis is an outstanding company with a proven track record of successfully acquiring and managing U.S. based utilities in a decentralized manner.&#160; This transaction accomplishes our objectives by better positioning the company to fulfill our long-term strategy of investing in transmission opportunities that improve reliability, expand access to power markets and allow new generating resources to interconnect to transmission systems while lowering the overall cost of delivered energy for customers.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Our investors will receive an attractive premium for their investment and will also benefit from the opportunity to participate in any potential upside of the combination, including future value creation and a growing dividend program,&#148; added Welch.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Today is another important milestone for Fortis and ITC.&#160; The strong results of the ITC and Fortis shareholder votes, as well as the agreement with minority investor GIC Private Limited, demonstrates confidence in this strategic acquisition,&#148; said Barry Perry, President and CEO of Fortis.&#160; &#147;We remain focused on closing the transaction by the end of this year.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the terms of the transaction,&nbsp;ITC shareholders will receive US$22.57 in cash and 0.7520 of a Fortis common share for each ITC common share. Based on the February&nbsp;8, 2016 closing price for Fortis common shares and the US$/C$ exchange rate on that date, the per share consideration offered by Fortis represents a premium of 33% over ITC&#146;s unaffected closing share price on November&nbsp;27, 2015 and a 37% premium to ITC&#146;s unaffected average closing price over the 30-day period prior to November&nbsp;27, 2015. The Fortis-ITC transaction was valued at approximately US$11.3 billion as of the close of markets on February&nbsp;8, 2016.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">The closing of the acquisition of ITC is expected to occur in late 2016 and is subject to </font>receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and the United States Federal Trade Commission/Department of Justice under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as well as various state approvals, among others.</font></p>
