<P STYLE="font: bold 14pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">TransAlta Corporation Provides Notice
of Series G Preferred Shares Conversion Right and Announces Reset Dividend Rates</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, Aug. 30, 2019 /CNW/ -&nbsp;TransAlta
Corporation (&quot;TransAlta&quot;&nbsp;or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX: TA) &nbsp;NYSE: TAC)&nbsp;announced today that it does
not intend to exercise its right to redeem all or any portion of the currently outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Rate Reset First
Preferred Shares, Series G (&quot;Series G Shares&quot;) (TSX: TA.PR.J) on September 30, 2019 (the &quot;Conversion Date&quot;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">As a result,&nbsp;and subject to certain conditions,
the holders of the Series G Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or any of their Series G Shares into Cumulative
Redeemable Floating Rate First Preferred Shares, Series H of the Company (&quot;Series H Shares&quot;) on the basis of one Series
H Share for each Series G Share on the Conversion Date.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">As provided in the share terms of the Series
G Shares, the foregoing conversion right is subject to the conditions that: (i) if TransAlta determines that there would remain
outstanding immediately following the conversion, less than 1,000,000 Series G Shares, all remaining Series G Shares shall be converted
automatically into Series H Shares on a one-for one basis effective September 30, 2019; or (ii) if TransAlta determines that there
would remain outstanding immediately after the conversion, less than 1,000,000 Series H Shares, holders of Series G Shares shall
not be entitled to convert their shares into Series H Shares on the Conversion Date.&nbsp;There are currently 6,000,000 Series
G Shares outstanding.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">With respect to any Series G Shares that remain
outstanding after September 30, 2019, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential cash
dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of TransAlta. The annual dividend rate for the Series G Shares for
the five-year period from and including September 30, 2019 to but excluding September 30, 2024, will be 4.988%, being equal to
the five-year Government of Canada&nbsp;bond yield of 1.188% determined as of today plus 3.80%, in accordance with the terms of
the Series G Shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">With respect to any Series H Shares that may
be issued on&nbsp;September 30, 2019, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferential
cash dividends,&nbsp;if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of TransAlta. The annual dividend rate for the 3-month
floating rate period from and including&nbsp;September 30, 2019&nbsp;to but excluding December 31, 2019 will be 5.438%, being equal
to the annual rate for the most recent auction of 90-day Government of Canada Treasury Bills of 1.638% plus 3.80%, in accordance
with the terms of the Series H Shares (the &quot;Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate&quot;). The Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate
will be reset every quarter.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Series G Shares are issued in &quot;book
entry only&quot; form and must be purchased or transferred through a participant in the CDS depository service (&quot;CDS Participant&quot;).
All rights of holders of Series G Shares must be exercised through CDS or the CDS Participant through which the Series G Shares
are held. The deadline for the registered shareholder to provide notice of exercise of the right to convert Series G Shares into
Series H Shares is 3:00 p.m. (MST) / 5:00 p.m. (EST) on September 15, 2019. &nbsp;Any notices received after this deadline will
not be valid. As such, holders of Series G Shares who wish to exercise their right to convert their shares should contact their
broker or other intermediary for more information and it is recommended that this be done well in advance of the deadline in order
to provide the broker or other intermediary with time to complete the necessary steps.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">If TransAlta does not receive an election notice
from a holder of Series G Shares during the time fixed therefor, then the Series G Shares shall be deemed not to have been converted
(except in the case of an automatic conversion). Holders of the Series G Shares and the Series H Shares will have the opportunity
to convert their shares again on September 30, 2024, and every five years thereafter as long as the shares remain outstanding.
For more information on the terms of the Series G Shares and the Series H Shares, please see TransAlta's articles of amalgamation,
including the share terms and shares in series schedule attached thereto as Schedule &quot;A&quot;, which are available on the
Company's website under the Investor Centre (Governance).&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>
