<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;24, 2016, the Corporation entered into the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Off-Coal</FONT> Agreement with the Government on
transition payments for the cessation of coal-fired emissions from the Keephills 3, Genesee 3 and Sheerness coal-fired plants on or before December&nbsp;31, 2030. Additionally, TransAlta reached an understanding with the Government pursuant to a
Memorandum of Understanding (the &#147;<B>MOU</B>&#148;) to collaborate and cooperate in the development of a policy framework to facilitate the conversion of coal-fired generation to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">gas-fired</FONT> generation,
facilitate existing and new renewable electricity development through supportive and enabling policy, and ensure existing generation and new electricity generation are able to effectively participate in the recently announced capacity market to be
developed for the Province of Alberta. Under the terms of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Off-Coal</FONT> Agreement, TransAlta will receive annual cash payments of approximately $37.4&nbsp;million, net to TransAlta, commencing in 2017 and
terminating in 2030. Receipt of the payments is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including that TransAlta maintains prescribed spending on investment and investment related activities in Alberta, maintains a significant business presence
in Alberta (including through the maintenance of prescribed employment levels), maintains spending on programs and initiatives to support the communities surrounding the plants and the employees of the Corporation negatively impacted by the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">phase-out</FONT> of coal generation and that the Corporation fulfills all obligations to affected employees. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Off-Coal</FONT> Agreement requires TransAlta to cease all coal-fired
emissions at the affected plants on or before December&nbsp;31, 2030. The affected plants are not, however, precluded from generating electricity at any time by any method other than the combustion of coal. On November&nbsp;24, 2016, TransAlta also
entered into the MOU with the Government pursuant to which the Government committed to cooperate and work collaboratively to advance the objectives of the Alberta Climate Leadership Plan. The MOU does not create any legally binding obligations
between the Government and TransAlta and does not impose any obligations on, or constrain the discretion and authority of, the Government. </P>

beneficial ownership, and in particular, a person is considered to beneficially own shares owned by its associates and affiliates, as those terms are defined in the articles. Transactions which are considered to be Specified Transactions include the
following: a merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with a Major Shareholder; the furnishing of financial assistance by the Corporation to a Major Shareholder; certain sales of assets or provision of services by the Corporation to a Major
Shareholder or vice versa; certain issuances of securities by the Corporation which increase the proportionate voting interest of a Major Shareholder; a reorganization or recapitalization of the Corporation which increases the proportionate voting

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">TransAlta is a corporation existing under the laws of Canada, and the majority of our assets and operations are located, and the majority of
our revenues are derived, outside the United States. We have appointed our U.S. subsidiary TransAlta Centralia Generation LLC, Centralia, Washington, as our agent to receive service of process in the United States in connection with any
investigations or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC and any civil suit or action brought against or involving TransAlta in a United States court arising from any offering made under this Prospectus. However, it may not be possible for
investors to enforce, outside the United States, judgments against TransAlta obtained in the United States in any such actions, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities laws.
In addition, certain of the directors and officers of TransAlta are residents of Canada or other jurisdictions outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those directors and officers are or may be located outside
the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those persons, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon
the civil liability provisions of United States federal and state securities laws. TransAlta has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability
under U.S. federal securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purpose.
TransAlta has also been advised by Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities
laws. </P>

124 of the Canada Business Corporation Act (&#147;CBCA&#148;), the Registrant may indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant&#146;s
request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges, and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual
in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity. In addition, the Registrant may advance moneys to a director,
officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above. The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions in (a)&nbsp;and (b) below. The Registrant may not indemnify an
individual unless the individual (a)&nbsp;acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer
or in a similar capacity at the Registrant&#146;s request; and (b)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the
individual&#146;s conduct was lawful. The Registrant may with the approval of a court, indemnify an individual referred to above, or advance money&#146;s for the cost, charges and expenses of a proceeding, in respect of an action by or on behalf of
the Registrant or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual&#146;s association with the Registrant or other entity as described above against all costs, charges and expenses
reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfills the conditions set out in (a)&nbsp;and (b) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an individual is entitled to indemnity from the Registrant in respect
of all costs, charges and expenses, reasonably incurred by the individual in the defence of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individuals association with the
Registrant or other entity referred to above, if the individual seeking indemnity was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done, and if the
individual fulfills the conditions set out in (a)&nbsp;and (b) above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> of the
Registrant provide that the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant or a person who acts or acted at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer of a body
corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the heirs and legal representatives thereof, to the extent permitted by the CBCA or otherwise by law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant maintains a directors and officers&#146; liability policy which provides coverage to the Registrant for all directors&#146; and
officers&#146; related claims, losses and cost in any year, subject to policy limits and deductibles. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant has entered into
indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors pursuant to which they are indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements the Registrant maintains errors and omissions insurance
for its officers and directors while they remain an officer or director and for a period of 10 years thereafter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. </P>
