Acquisition of TransAlta Renewables Inc. and Final Pro Ration</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, AB, Oct. 5, 2023 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation
(&quot;TransAlta&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX: TA) (NYSE: TAC) and TransAlta Renewables Inc. (&quot;RNW&quot;) (TSX: RNW) are
pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of RNW by TransAlta pursuant to the terms of the previously announced arrangement
agreement between the parties (the &quot;Arrangement&quot;). Under the Arrangement, TransAlta acquired all of the outstanding common shares
of RNW (each, a &quot;RNW Share&quot;) not already owned, directly or indirectly, by TransAlta and certain of its affiliates, resulting
in RNW becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of TransAlta.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;The closing of the acquisition of TransAlta
Renewables represents a key milestone for TransAlta with our simplified and unified corporate structure positioning the Company well for
future success,&quot; said John Kousinioris, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAlta. &quot;The combined company will unify
our assets, capital, and capabilities to enhance cash flow predictability while enhancing our ability to realize future growth.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The RNW Shares will be delisted from the Toronto Stock
Exchange and RNW will submit an application to cease to be a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada under National Policy
11-206 <I>Process for Cease to be a Reporting Issuer Applications</I> promptly upon the delisting of the RNW Shares. Common shares of
TransAlta (the &quot;TransAlta Shares&quot;) will continue to trade on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange
under the symbols &quot;TAC&quot; and &quot;TA&quot;, respectively.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">As a result of the Arrangement, certain RNW directors
have resigned, and TransAlta has appointed two of its employees to serve on the board of directors of RNW.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B>Results of RNW Shareholders Election</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Prior to the Arrangement, TransAlta and its affiliates
collectively held 160,398,217 RNW Shares, representing 60.1% of the issued and outstanding RNW Shares, with the remaining 106,510,884
RNW Shares held by RNW Shareholders other than TransAlta and its affiliates.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Arrangement was approved by RNW shareholders (the
&quot;RNW Shareholders&quot;) at a special meeting of shareholders held on September 26, 2023, and by the Court of King's Bench of Alberta
on October 4, 2023. Under the Arrangement, the maximum aggregate amount of cash payable to holders of RNW Shares is $800 million and the
maximum aggregate number of TransAlta Shares issuable to RNW Shareholders is 46,441,779 (excluding any TransAlta Shares issuable in connection
with the settlement of deferred share units of RNW). Pursuant to the Arrangement, RNW Shareholders had the option to receive (i) 1.0337
TransAlta Shares; or (ii) $13.00 in cash, subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement, including pro-rationing.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">RNW Shareholders holding 69,707,018 RNW Shares elected
(or were deemed to have elected) to receive an aggregate of 72,056,140 TransAlta Shares as consideration and will receive 46,441,764 TransAlta
Shares following pro-rationing; whereas RNW Shareholders holding 36,758,506 RNW Shares elected to receive aggregate cash consideration
of $477,860,578 and this will be increased to approximately $800 million following pro rationing.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The closing price of a TransAlta Share on the Toronto
Stock Exchange on the last trading day prior to the completion of the Arrangement was $12.01 per share.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B>Section 85 Election<BR>
</B>TransAlta has agreed, in accordance with the procedures and within the time limits set out in the plan of arrangement, to make a joint
election (a &quot;Joint Tax Election&quot;) under subsection 85(1) or subsection 85(2) of the <I>Income Tax Act</I> (Canada) (and any
similar provision of any applicable provincial tax legislation) with eligible RNW Shareholders who dispose of RNW Shares in exchange for
consideration that includes TransAlta Shares. For more information concerning the Joint Tax Election, please refer to the Management Information
Circular (the &quot;Circular&quot;) that was filed and provided to RNW Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement (see the discussion

Upon receipt of a completed Joint Tax Election from TransAlta, the electing shareholder must sign the Joint Tax Election form and submit
