Each of the foregoing dividends will be paid in cash. Effective
March 16, 2023, AQN suspended the
dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") for its common shares. If
AQN elects to reinstate the DRIP in the future, shareholders who
were enrolled in the DRIP at its suspension and remain enrolled at
reinstatement will automatically resume participation in the
DRIP.
The quarterly dividends payable on common shares are declared in
U.S. dollars. Beneficial shareholders (those who hold common shares
through a financial intermediary) who are resident in Canada or the United
States may request to receive their dividends in either U.S.
dollars or the Canadian dollar equivalent by contacting the
financial intermediary with whom the common shares are held. Unless
the Canadian dollar equivalent is requested, holders of common
shares will receive dividends in U.S. dollars, which, as is often
the case, the financial intermediary may convert to Canadian
dollars. Registered holders of common shares receive dividend
payments in the currency of residency. Registered holders of common
shares may opt to change the payment currency by contacting TSX
Trust Company at 1-800-387-0825 prior to the record date of the
dividend.
The Canadian dollar equivalent of the quarterly common share
dividend is based on the Bank of Canada daily average exchange rate on the day
before the declaration date.
Pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and corresponding provincial
legislation, AQN hereby notifies holders of common shares,
preferred shares, Series A, and preferred shares, Series D that
such dividends declared qualify as eligible dividends.
