      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Certain written statements included herein constitute &#8220;forward-looking information&#8221; within the meaning of applicable securities laws in each of the provinces and
        territories of Canada and the respective policies, regulations and rules under such laws and &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; within the meaning of applicable securities laws in the United States, including Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of
        1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221;). The words &#8220;will&#8221;, &#8220;may&#8221;, &#8220;shall&#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 herein include, but are not limited to statements regarding the ranking of the Notes, closing of
        the offering and the use of proceeds therefrom. 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 nature they rely upon assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Each of APUC and Liberty Utilities cautions that
        although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in
        APUC's most recent annual and interim Management's Discussion and Analysis and most recent Annual Information Form, filed with securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed
        on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, neither APUC nor Liberty Utilities undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information,
        subsequent or otherwise.</div>
