The words &#8220;will&#8221;, &#8220;expects&#8221;, &#8220;intends&#8221; and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements contained in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding succession planning, including the expectation that Mr. Banskota will transition into the role of Chief Executive Officer in 2020, and statements regarding the establishment of a collaborative investment platform involving Mr. Robertson. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. APUC cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors include those set out in APUC&#8217;s most recent annual and interim management&#8217;s discussion and analysis and most </font></div><div><br></div><div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">recent annual information form.

Other than as specifically required by law, APUC undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">For Further Information:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">Amelia Tsang</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">Vice President, Investor Relations </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">Algonquin Power &amp; Utilities Corp. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">E-mail: InvestorRelations@APUCorp.com </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">Telephone: (905) 465-4500</font></div><div><br></div><div></div>	</div></body>
