<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">CALGARY, Alberta (Sept 4, 2012) - TransAlta Corporation (TransAlta) (TSX: TA; NYSE: TAC) announced today that it is commencing an offering of 19,250,000 of its Common Shares.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">The expected offering price of Cdn $14.30 per Common Share will result in gross proceeds to TransAlta of approximately Cdn $275 million. TransAlta has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 2,887,500 of its Common Shares at the same price, exercisable in whole or in part at any time for 30 days following closing of the offering. Gross proceeds to TransAlta if the over-allotment option is exercised in full are expected to be approximately Cdn $317 million.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Proceeds from the offering will be used to fund future growth capital expenditures, including to partially fund the acquisition of the Solomon power station, to repay short term debt, and for general corporate purposes.

If the acquisition does not close, proceeds from the offering will be used to fund future growth capital expenditures, to repay short term debt, and for general corporate purposes.</font></p>
