和

管理資料通告

除了擬議的安排之外

涉及布魯克菲爾德再生公司，15051270哥倫比亞有限公司，

布魯克菲爾德可再生合作夥伴LP和布魯克菲爾德公司

2024年10月23日

董事會根據提名和治理委員會的建議，建議您投票支持該安排

這些材料很重要，需要您立即關注。他們要求您做出重要決定。如果你如果對如何做出此類決定有疑問，請聯繫您的財務、法律、稅務或其他專業顧問。

致股東的信

尊敬的股東們：

你才是應邀出席特別會議(“會議A類可交換從屬有表決權股份持有人(每股，一名)可交換股份“)和b類多重有表決權股份將在虛擬會議中舉行格式：2024年12月3日上午10：00(多倫多時間)。在會議上，您將被要求考慮重組(“布置“)旨在保留Brookfield Renewable Corporation(我們的 “公司“)回應最近加拿大聯盟預算中有關共同基金公司的擬議修正案。

為什麼是你應該批准這項安排

提醒一下，我們的公司是由Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.(The “夥伴關係“)在2020年提供三個主要好處-作為我們公司今天的股東，您對這一安排的批准將使合夥企業繼續提供這些好處：

•

保持我們的公司結構，並通過繼續提供投資者有機會通過公司結構獲得合作夥伴關係的全球多元化高質量可再生能源和過渡資產組合。

•

保持我們公司被納入幾個大型全球指數和交易所交易基金(ETF)。

•

繼續提供簡化和直截了當的納稅申報框架，並為某些投資者提供一個更高的稅後投降。

我們公司在2020年的創建是在實現這些目標。自我們公司首次上市以來，Brookfield Renewable的市值已增長到200億美元以上，我們的日均交易量增加了一倍多，我們的投資者基礎不斷壯大。與美國和非加拿大人持有我們流通股近60%的股東。

緊隨其後的是安排後，您將繼續擁有經濟上等值的證券，提供與今天投資我們公司相同的經濟利益和治理。預計這一安排也將是稅延對於絕大多數股東來說，包括美國和加拿大的股東。

原因是佈置

本公司目前符合“互惠基金公司”的定義。《所得稅法》(加拿大) 並為投資者提供進入我們業務的途徑，而增加的組織成本或負擔非常小。然而，2024年加拿大聯盟預算包括對與共同基金公司有關的稅收規則的擬議修正案，如果獲得通過，這些修正案將按照目前的提議，預計從2025年開始，這將導致我們公司的額外成本。這一安排的提出是為了保留我們公司結構的好處，同時遵守2024年的目標政策關切加拿大聯盟預算。

有關安排的概述

以下是這項安排的主要內容：

•

我們已經創造了1505127 B.C.Ltd.(“新公司“)，這將有一個資本結構，包括A類可交換從屬有表決權股份(“新的可交換股份“)，這對我們公司的資本結構在所有實質性方面都是相同的，並提供了所有相同的好處今天，股東們已經做到了。

•

可交換股份的公眾持有者將獲得一(1)股新的可交換股份持有的股份。新的可交換股份將與我們目前的可交換股份具有相同的條款。與您目前持有的可交換股票一樣，每一股新的可交換股票的結構都是為了經濟起見相當於一個非投票合夥企業的有限合夥單位（每個，

a “單元“)。經濟對等將繼續通過相同的分配實現，每一股新的可交換股份將由持有者選擇交換任何時候都只有一個單元。

•

新公司將更名為“Brookfield Renewable Corporation”，新的可交換股份預計將在多倫多證券交易所和紐約證券交易所上市，並以相同的“BEPC”代碼交易。我公司將被摘牌，不再是申報發行人。

•

重組將通過安排計劃的方式實施。該安排將要求，其中其他事情，66的批准^2/3可交換股份持有者在會上投出的表決權的%。

接下來的步驟

這項安排鬚受滿足某些其他條件，包括獲得不列顛哥倫比亞省最高法院的批准。視乎收到該等批准、在會議上批准安排決議案及滿意或如果酌情豁免其他慣例條件，預計這一安排將於2024年第四季度完成。

建議的操作

提名和管治委員會一致認為該安排符合本公司的最佳利益，並建議董事會批准該安排，並建議可交換股份持有人投票贊成該安排。

董事會¹，根據提名和治理委員會的建議，決定本公司認為該項安排最符合本公司利益，並一致決定批准該項安排，並建議可交換股份持有人投票贊成該項安排。在作出決定時，審計委員會考慮到，除其他因素外，RBC Dominion Securities Inc.的公平意見大意是，截至2024年10月9日，在符合其中描述的假設、限制和限定的情況下，將收到的對價通過從財務角度來看，根據該安排持有可交換股份的公眾股東對該等股東是公平的。

這個隨附的股東特別大會通告及管理層代表通函提供有關安排及將於大會上審議的其他事項的詳細說明。建議您仔細閱讀此資訊，如果您需要幫助，諮詢您自己的法律、稅務、財務或其他專業顧問。

您對我們的投票和參與不管你擁有多少可交換的股票，公司的業務都很重要。截至2024年10月21日收盤時登記在冊的股東將有權在大會上投票。我們已經讓你們很容易投票通過電話、互聯網、郵件或通過虛擬方式參加會議。請查閱管理代理通知和會議通知，其中包含您需要的有關安排、會議以及如何行使你的投票權。

你真的很真誠，

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

A special meeting (the “Meeting”) of holders of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (each, an “exchangeable share”) and class B multiple voting shares (each, a “class B share”) of Brookfield Renewable Corporation (“our company”) will be held on December 3, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in a virtual meeting format to:

consider, pursuant to an order (the “Interim Order”) of the Supreme Court of British Columbia dated October 18, 2024, and, if deemed advisable, to pass, a special resolution (“Arrangement Resolution”), the full text of which is set forth in Appendix A to the accompanying management information circular dated October 23, 2024 (the “Circular”), with or without variation, approving an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) designed to permit our company to continue to benefit from our corporate structure formed in 2020 and as more particularly described in the Circular; and

2.	to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Specific details relating to the Arrangement and the other matters to be considered at the Meeting are set forth in the Circular. Completion of the proposed Arrangement is conditional upon certain other matters described in the Circular, including the receipt of the approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court (the “Final Order”) and required regulatory approvals from both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. Subject to the receipt of such approvals, approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting, and the satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of the other customary conditions, it is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists of independent directors, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company and recommended that the Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.

The Board, other than Jeffrey Blidner who as Vice Chair of Brookfield Corporation recused himself from voting, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company and unanimously resolved to approve the Arrangement and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

The Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. Holders of exchangeable shares and class B shares will be able to listen to, participate in and vote at the Meeting in real time through a web-based platform instead of attending the Meeting in person.

You can attend and vote at the virtual Meeting by visiting https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-147-681-565 and entering your control number and password “brookfield2024” (case sensitive). See “General Proxy Matters” in the Circular for more information on how to listen, register for and vote at the Meeting.

You have the right to vote at the Meeting if you were a holder of exchangeable shares or class B shares at the close of business on October 21, 2024. Before casting your vote, we encourage you to review the Circular, including the section entitled “Business of the Meeting”.

We are posting electronic versions of the Circular and a form of proxy or voting instruction form on our website for Shareholder review – a process known as “Notice and Access.” Electronic copies of the investor materials may be accessed at https://bep.brookfield.com/bepc under “BEPC Reorganization” and on our company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on our company’s EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov/edgar.

If you would like a paper copy of the Circular please contact us at 1-833-236-0278 or enquiries@brookfieldrenewable.com and we will mail materials free of charge within three business days of your request, provided the request is made before the date of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. In order to receive a paper copy of any materials in advance of the deadline to submit your vote, we recommend that you contact us before 9:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on November 19, 2024.

Instructions on Voting at the Virtual Meeting

Your vote and participation in our company’s business is important regardless of the number of exchangeable shares that you own. Registered holders of exchangeable shares at the close of business on October 21, 2024 (“Registered Shareholders”) and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend and participate in the virtual Meeting and vote in real time, provided they are connected to the internet and follow the instructions in the Circular. See “General Proxy Matters” in the Circular. Non-registered holders of exchangeable shares (“Non-Registered Shareholders”) who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the virtual Meeting as guests but will not be able to ask questions or vote at the Meeting.

If you wish to appoint a person other than the Management Representatives identified in the form of proxy or voting instruction form (including if you are a Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to appoint yourself as proxyholder in order to attend the virtual Meeting) you must carefully follow the instructions in the Circular and on the form of proxy or voting instruction form. See “General Proxy Matters” in the Circular. These instructions include the additional step of registering your proxyholder with our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., after submitting the form of proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder (including, if you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, failure to appoint yourself as proxyholder) with our transfer agent will result in the proxyholder not receiving a username to participate in the virtual Meeting and only being able to attend as a guest. Guests will be able to listen to the virtual Meeting but will not be able to ask questions or vote.

Information for Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including Non-Registered Shareholders who have duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) that attend the Meeting online will be able to vote by completing a ballot online during the Meeting through the live webcast platform.

If you are not attending the virtual Meeting and wish to vote by proxy, we must receive your vote by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 29, 2024 or, in the event the virtual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than two business days prior to the time of the adjourned or postponed meeting (the “Proxy Deadline”). You can cast your proxy vote in the following ways:

•

On the Internet at www.investorvote.com;

•

Mail your signed proxy using the business reply envelope accompanying your proxy; or

•

By telephone at 1-866-732-8683 (toll-free in North America) or 1-312-588-4290 (direct dial outside North America).

Registered Shareholders have the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution in accordance with the provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA and the Interim Order. The right to dissent is more particularly described in the Circular and the text of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA is set forth in Appendix C to the Circular. Please see “Dissent Rights” in the Circular for a description of the rights to dissent in respect of the Arrangement.

Failure to strictly comply with the requirements set forth in Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA and the Interim Order with respect to the Arrangement Resolution, may result in the loss of any right to dissent. Persons who are beneficial shareholders in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only the Registered Shareholders are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial shareholder desiring to exercise the right to dissent must make arrangements for the exchangeable shares beneficially owned by such holder to be registered in such holder’s name prior to the time the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution is required to be received by our company or, alternatively, make arrangements for the Registered Shareholder to dissent on behalf of the holder.

Information for Non-Registered Shareholders

Non-Registered Shareholders will receive a voting instruction form with their physical copy of this notice. If you wish to vote, but not attend the Meeting, the voting instruction form must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form.

If you wish to appoint a proxyholder, you must complete the additional step of registering the proxyholder with our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. at www.computershare.com/BEPC by no later than the Proxy Deadline.

By Order of the Board

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS NOT RESIDENT IN CANADA

Our company and the New Corporation are corporations existing under the laws of British Columbia. The solicitation of proxies involves securities of a Canadian issuer and is being effected in accordance with applicable corporate laws and securities laws in Canada. Shareholders should be aware that the requirements applicable to our company under Canadian laws may differ from the requirements under corporate laws and securities laws relating to corporations in other jurisdictions.

This Circular has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements in effect in Canada, which differ from the disclosure requirements in effect in any other jurisdiction. Shareholders who are foreign taxpayers should be aware that the Arrangement may have tax consequences both in Canada and such foreign jurisdiction. Except for certain Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences described in “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, the consequences for such Shareholders are not described in this Circular and such Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the transactions contemplated in this Circular.

This Circular and the transactions contemplated in connection with the Arrangement, including the securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement, have not been approved or disapproved by any securities regulatory authority in Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction, including the SEC, nor has any securities regulatory authority in Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction, including the SEC, passed upon the merits or fairness of such transactions or upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

NOTICE TO U.S. SHAREHOLDERS

The New Exchangeable Shares issuable to Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act. Such securities will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof on the basis of the approval of the Court, which will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to the persons affected. In addition, the securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued in compliance with or pursuant to an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the “blue sky” laws. See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—United States Securities Laws Matters”.

The solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, by virtue of an exemption applicable to proxy solicitations by “foreign private issuers” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. The solicitation of proxies is being made by or on behalf of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and this Circular has been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Shareholders should be aware that requirements under such Canadian laws and such disclosure requirements may differ from requirements under United States corporate and securities laws relating to United States corporations. Unless expressly noted, information concerning our company or the New Corporation and their respective current or expected businesses, properties and operations, as applicable, contained or incorporated herein by reference has been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada and such disclosure requirements may be materially different from those applicable in the United States.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States, including the “blue sky” laws, may be affected adversely by the fact that the parties to the Arrangement are organized under the laws of jurisdictions other than the United States, that some or all of their officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States, and that some or all of the experts named in this Circular may be residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon the parties to the Arrangement, their respective officers and directors or the experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States, including the “blue sky” laws. In addition, Shareholders should not assume that the courts of Canada: (a) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States or any “blue sky” laws; or (b) would

enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States or any “blue sky” laws.

Shareholders who are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Arrangement described in this Circular may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the United States which are not described fully herein. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal and Canadian income tax consequences of the Arrangement. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders” for certain information concerning the tax consequences of the Arrangement for Shareholders who are U.S. taxpayers.

Questions

The Arrangement

Why have I received this package of information?

On October 9, 2024, our company entered into the Arrangement Agreement with the New Corporation, the partnership and Brookfield Corporation pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to implement the Arrangement. The Arrangement is subject to, among other things, obtaining the approval of Shareholders.

As a Shareholder of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement, even if you have since that date disposed of your exchangeable shares. We are soliciting your proxy, or vote, and providing this Circular in connection with such solicitation.

Why is our company undertaking the Arrangement?

Our company was created by the partnership in 2020 to provide three key benefits – and as shareholders in our company today, your approval of the Arrangement will allow the partnership to continue to offer these benefits:

•

Preserve our corporate structure and maintain a differentiated investor base by continuing to provide investors with an opportunity to gain access to the partnership’s globally diversified portfolio of high-quality renewable power and transition assets through a corporate structure.

•

Maintain our company’s inclusion in several large global indices and exchange traded funds.

•

Continue to offer a simplified and straightforward tax reporting framework and provide certain investors with a higher after- tax yield.

The creation of our company in 2020 was successful in achieving these objectives. Since the initial listing of our company, the market capitalization of Brookfield Renewable has grown to over $20 billion, our average daily trading volume have more than doubled and our investor base has grown and diversified with U.S. and non-Canadian shareholders owning almost 60% of our float.

Our company currently qualifies as a “mutual fund corporation” as defined in the Tax Act, which provides investors with access to our portfolio with minimal added organizational costs or burden. On April 16, 2024, the Canadian federal government in the 2024 Canadian federal budget announced Proposed Amendments to the tax rules relating to mutual fund corporations which, if enacted as currently proposed, were expected to result in additional costs to our company commencing in 2025. The Arrangement has been proposed to preserve the benefits of our corporate structure while complying with the policy concerns targeted in the 2024 Canadian federal budget.

See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement” and “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement”. For additional information regarding Brookfield Renewable, see “Information Concerning the Partnership”.

Question

Answers

What am I being asked to vote on at the Meeting?

At the Meeting, you are asked to consider and, if thought advisable, pass the Arrangement Resolution approving the Arrangement.

If Shareholders approve the Arrangement, and subject to satisfaction of certain other customary conditions, our company will implement the Arrangement, pursuant to which, among other things:

•

Shareholders (other than the Brookfield Group) will receive from the New Corporation one (1) New Exchangeable Share for each exchangeable share held as of the Effective Date.

•

The Brookfield Group will receive one class A.2 exchangeable share of our company for each exchangeable share held as of the Effective Date.

•

The New Corporation will be renamed “Brookfield Renewable Corporation”, and our company will be renamed “Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation”.

•

Subject to TSX and NYSE approval, the New Exchangeable Shares will be listed on the TSX and NYSE and trade under the same “BEPC” symbol. Our company will be delisted and cease to be a reporting issuer.

See “The Arrangement—Details of the Arrangement” for additional information on the proposed terms of the Arrangement.

Upon the Arrangement becoming effective, the existing DRS advices representing the exchangeable shares (other than exchangeable shares held by the Brookfield Group or by Dissenting Shareholders) will represent New Exchangeable Shares without any further action required on the part of holders thereof.

Following the Arrangement, the New Corporation will be a subsidiary of the partnership and will hold 50% of the voting rights in our company, with the remainder being held indirectly by the partnership. Our company will continue to be a subsidiary of the partnership.

See “Information Concerning the New Corporation”.

How does the Board recommend I vote on the Arrangement Resolution?

The Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists of independent directors, has assessed the terms of the Arrangement. The Nominating and Governance Committee unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company and recommended that the Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.

The Board, other than Jeffrey Blidner who as Vice Chair of Brookfield Corporation recused himself from voting, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company and resolved to approve the Arrangement and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

In making its determination, the Board considered, among other factors, the fairness opinion of RBC to the effect that, as of October 9, 2024 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view to such shareholders.

Question

Answers

Why should I vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution?

The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board carefully evaluated the Arrangement and believe that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company. In the course of its evaluation, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors:

•

The New Corporation will continue to satisfy the objectives described above, including providing investors with a tax reporting framework that may be favored by investors in certain jurisdictions over the tax reporting framework provided for an investment in the partnership, and being eligible for inclusion in several indices.

•

The New Exchangeable Shares will have substantially the same terms as our exchangeable shares and RBC has provided the Fairness Opinion to the Board to the effect that, as of October 9, 2024 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.

•

The exchange of our exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares through the Arrangement generally is expected to be tax-deferred for the vast majority of Shareholders, including U.S. and Canadian Shareholders. The Arrangement may also be tax-deferred for certain non-U.S. and non-Canadian Shareholders.

•

The Arrangement will have no impact on the consolidated financial position of the partnership, with our company remaining an indirect subsidiary of the partnership. In addition, the New Corporation will also consolidate our company, so shareholders of the New Corporation will continue to receive financial statements that reflect the results of operation and financial position of our company.

•

The Arrangement is being effected in a manner that we expect will not result in any adverse impact on Brookfield Renewable’s credit rating or its preferred unitholders or debtholders.

See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement” and “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement”.

How many New Exchangeable Shares will I receive?

Pursuant to the Arrangement, each Shareholder (other than Brookfield Group) will be entitled to receive one (1) New Exchangeable Share for each exchangeable share of our company held as at the Effective Date.

Based on the approximately 180 million exchangeable shares of our company outstanding as at October 15, 2024, we expect there will be approximately 145 million New Exchangeable Shares outstanding upon completion of the Arrangement. In addition, approximately 35 million class A.2 exchangeable shares of our company will be held by the Brookfield Group, which will be exchangeable for New Exchangeable Shares or units on a one for one basis. For additional information on the Arrangement, see “The Arrangement—Details of the Arrangement”.

Am I entitled to Dissent Rights?

Yes, if you are a Registered Shareholder. Registered Shareholders who properly exercise their Dissent Rights will be entitled to be paid the fair value of their exchangeable shares determined as of the close of business on the day before the day on which the Final Order was granted. This amount could be the same as, more than

Question

Answers

or less than the consideration payable under the Arrangement or the trading price of the exchangeable shares on the TSX or the NYSE on such date.

Any Registered Shareholders who have duly exercised their Dissent Rights and, following the dissent process under the BCBCA, are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their exchangeable shares, will instead be entitled to the fair value of such exchangeable shares and will not receive New Exchangeable Shares. See “Dissent Rights”.

It is a condition precedent to the completion of the Arrangement that Shareholders holding not greater than 5% of all outstanding exchangeable shares validly exercise their Dissent Rights.

If the Arrangement is completed, what do I need to do with my exchangeable shares to receive New Exchangeable Shares?

If all conditions are met, it is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In the event you require an updated DRS advice representing the New Exchangeable Shares, you can request a copy from Computershare at: www.computershare.com/service or by email to: service@computershare.com or by phone via Direct dial outside North America at 514-982-7555 or within Canada and the United States toll free at 1-800-564-6253.

If I am a holder of units, what do I have to do to participate in the Arrangement?

Unitholders are not impacted by the Arrangement and no vote of the partnership’s unitholders will be required for the Arrangement to be completed.

The New Corporation and New Exchangeable Shares following the Arrangement

How do the New Exchangeable Shares compare to the exchangeable shares of our company?

The terms of the New Exchangeable Shares are substantially the same as the terms of the exchangeable shares of our company.

See “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of New Exchangeable Shares”.

How will the New Corporation’s performance track to the partnership’s performance?

Similar to the existing exchangeable shares, each New Exchangeable Share has been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one unit. We therefore expect that the market price of the New Exchangeable Shares will be significantly impacted by the combined business performance of our group as a whole and the market price of the units. Following the Arrangement, it is expected that dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares will be declared and paid at the same time and in the same amount as distributions declared and paid on the units to provide holders of the New Exchangeable Shares with an economic return equivalent to holders of units. Additionally, pursuant to the Equity Commitment Agreement, the partnership will agree that it will not declare or pay any distribution on the units if on such date the New Corporation does not have sufficient funds or other assets to enable the declaration and payment of an equivalent dividend on the New Exchangeable Shares.

Each New Exchangeable Share will be exchangeable at the option of the holder for one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent

Question

Answers

(the form of payment to be determined at the election of our company). The partnership may elect to satisfy our exchange obligation by acquiring such tendered New Exchangeable Shares for an equivalent number of units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of the partnership). See “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of New Exchangeable Shares—Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events” for a description of such capital events. New Corporation and the partnership currently intend to satisfy any exchange requests on the New Exchangeable Shares through the delivery of units rather than cash.

Do you intend to pay dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares?

Yes. Following completion of the Arrangement, the board of directors of New Corporation may declare dividends at its discretion. Similar to the exchangeable shares, each New Exchangeable Share has been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one unit and it is expected that dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares will be declared and paid at the same time and in the same amount as distributions declared and paid on units. We anticipate that the last dividend on the exchangeable shares will be declared in November of 2024 and paid after the Effective Date. We expect to commence paying dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares on the first distribution payment date for the units occurring after the Effective Date.

The partnership’s distributions are underpinned by stable, highly regulated and contracted cash flows generated from operations. The partnership’s objective is to pay a distribution that is sustainable on a long-term basis and it has set its target payout ratio at approximately 70% of Brookfield Renewable’s FFO.

See also “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of New Exchangeable Shares—Dividends”.

Will there be any significant shareholders of the New Corporation after the Arrangement?

Yes. Like our company today, Brookfield Renewable will hold all of the New Class B Shares, thereby giving Brookfield Renewable a 75% voting interest and a right to all of the residual value in the New Corporation after payment in full of the amount due to holders of New Exchangeable Shares. In addition, the Brookfield Group will, directly and indirectly, hold approximately 35 million class A.2 exchangeable shares of our company (as renamed to Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation) which will be exchangeable for New Exchangeable Shares (subject to the ownership cap that limits the exchange by the Brookfield Group of class A.2 exchangeable shares such that exchanges by the Brookfield Group may not result in the Brookfield Group owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of New Corporation) or units. See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement”, “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement” and “Information Concerning our Company— Share Capital”.

What will the New Corporation’s relationship with Brookfield Renewable be after the Arrangement?

After the completion of the Arrangement, our group will be comprised of Brookfield Renewable, the New Corporation and our company (as renamed to Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation). Our group will continue to serve as a primary vehicle through which Brookfield will directly or indirectly acquire renewable power and transition assets on a global basis. We do not expect there to be a substantive change to the business of our group in connection with the Arrangement. After the Arrangement:

•

The partnership will hold a 75% voting interest in the New Corporation through its holding of New Class B Shares, which will also entitle the partnership to all of the residual value in the New Corporation after payment

Question

Answers

in full of the amount due to holders of New Exchangeable Shares. The partnership’s ownership of New Class B Shares will entitle it to receive dividends as and when declared by the board of directors of New Corporation, subject to the holders of the New Exchangeable Shares receiving the dividends to which they are entitled, but it is not expected that meaningful dividends will be paid on the New Class B Shares in the ordinary course.

•

The New Corporation will enter into two deposit agreements with one or more subsidiaries of the partnership, one as depositor/lender and one as depositee/borrower. Each deposit agreement will contemplate potential deposit arrangements pursuant to which the parties thereunder would mutually agree to deposit funds thereunder from time to time on a demand basis at a specified rate of interest. Additionally, the New Corporation, as borrower, will enter into a credit agreement with NA Holdco, as lender, pursuant to which NA Holdco will establish a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 in favour of the New Corporation. The credit agreement will provide for borrowings in Canadian dollars based on prime or the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), and U.S. dollars based on U.S. base rate and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The credit agreement will have a five-year term, subject to automatic one-year extensions occurring annually unless terminated by the lender.

•

The New Corporation will enter into option agreements with NA Holdco and Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. pursuant to which the New Corporation will have the option to purchase all or any portion of the class B shares or class C shares held by NA Holdco and Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. The purchase price payable by the New Corporation to NA Holdco and Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. in respect of any class B share or class C share purchased by the New Corporation will be the fair market value of such class B share or class C share, as applicable. The New Corporation may satisfy the purchase price payable to NA Holdco or Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. by issuing such number of New Class B Shares to NA Holdco or Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. with an aggregate fair market value equal to the purchase price.

Who will be on the board of directors of the New Corporation?

After completion of the Arrangement, the board of directors of New Corporation will initially be identical to the board of directors of our company as of the date of this Circular and will mirror the board of directors of the general partner of the partnership, except that there will be two additional non-overlapping board members to assist us with, among other things, resolving any conflicts of interest that may arise from our relationship with Brookfield Renewable. Randy MacEwen and Eleazar de Carvalho Filho currently serve as the non-overlapping members of the Board. Mr. MacEwen has served on the Board since 2021 and Mr. de Carvalho Filho since 2020.

Where will I be able to trade the New Exchangeable Shares?

It is expected that the New Exchangeable Shares will commence trading shortly after the completion of the Arrangement under the symbol “BEPC”.

There is currently no public trading market for the New Exchangeable Shares. However, we have applied to have the New Exchangeable Shares listed on the NYSE and the TSX under the symbol “BEPC”. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the New Exchangeable Shares. Listing on the NYSE is subject to New Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the NYSE, and listing on the TSX is

Question

Answers

subject to New Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX on or before the first trading day of the New Exchangeable Shares.

How do I exchange the New Exchangeable Shares I will receive into units?

As with the existing exchangeable shares, you will be entitled to exchange your New Exchangeable Shares for an equivalent number of units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of New Corporation) at any time. The partnership may elect to satisfy our exchange obligation by acquiring such tendered New Exchangeable Shares for an equivalent number of units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of the partnership). New Corporation and the partnership currently intend to satisfy any exchange requests through the delivery of units rather than cash. For additional information, see “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of New Exchangeable Shares” and “—Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events” and “The Arrangement—Material Agreements—New Rights Agreement”. However, factors that the partnership and New Corporation may consider when determining whether to satisfy any exchange request for cash rather than units include, without limitation, compliance with applicable securities laws, changes in law, the partnership’s and New Corporation’s respective available consolidated liquidity, and any tax consequences to the partnership or New Corporation or to a holder as a result of delivery of units.

If you hold your New Exchangeable Shares through a broker, please contact your broker to request an exchange. If you are a registered holder and hold your New Exchangeable Shares in certificated form or in an account directly with the transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., please contact the transfer agent to request an exchange. See “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of Exchangeable Shares—Exchange by Holder”.

An exchange of New Exchangeable Shares for an equivalent number of units or its cash equivalent may have tax consequences. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

How will owning a New Exchangeable Share be different from owning a unit?

As with the existing exchangeable shares, each New Exchangeable Share will be structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events), including identical dividends on a per share basis as are paid on each unit. See “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of New Exchangeable Shares—Exchange by Holder— Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”. New Corporation and the partnership currently intend that the New Corporation will satisfy any exchange requests on the New Exchangeable Shares through the delivery of units rather than cash. However, there are certain material differences between the rights of holders of New Exchangeable Shares and holders of the units under the governing documents of New Corporation and the partnership and applicable law, such as the right of holders of New Exchangeable Shares to request an exchange of their New Exchangeable Shares for an equivalent number of units or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our group) and the redemption right of New Corporation. These material differences are described in the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Holders of New Exchangeable Shares and the Partnership’s Units”.

Question

Answers

Will units be exchangeable for New Exchangeable Shares?

No, units will not be exchangeable on their terms for New Exchangeable Shares.

Are there risks associated with owning the New Exchangeable Shares or units?

Yes, like our company, the ownership of New Exchangeable Shares is subject to both general and specific risks and uncertainties. Owning units of the partnership is also subject to risks. For a discussion of factors you should consider in deciding whether to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and hold New Exchangeable Shares, please see “Risk Factors”.

Our company following the Arrangement

Who will be the shareholders of our company after completion of the Arrangement?

Following the Effective Time, the exchangeable shares will be delisted from the TSX and NYSE and we will apply for our company to cease to be a reporting issuer. Our company will also change its name to Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation. The share capital of our company (as renamed to Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation) following the Effective Time will be as set out below.

The existing exchangeable shares will be replaced with class A.1 exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares with the following terms:

•

The class A.1 exchangeable shares of our company will be held by the New Corporation and will be exchangeable on a one for one basis for one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our company). This exchange right may be used by the New Corporation to obtain units necessary, from time to time, to satisfy exchanges of the New Exchangeable Shares. The class A.1 exchangeable shares will carry one vote per class A.1 exchangeable share, and holders of the class A.1 exchangeable shares will be entitled to an aggregate 25% voting interest in our company.

•

The class A.2 exchangeable shares of our company will be held by the Brookfield Group, will be non-voting and will be exchangeable on a one for one basis for one New Exchangeable Share or one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our company). The Brookfield Group will not be permitted to receive in exchange for class A.2 exchangeable shares, and our company will not deliver, a number of New Exchangeable Shares that would result in the Brookfield Group, after giving effect to the exchange, directly or indirectly, beneficially owning, controlling or holding shares representing 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of the New Corporation. For clarity, this ownership cap does not apply to exchanges of class A.2 exchangeable shares for units.

•

Dividends on the class A.1 exchangeable shares will be paid pari passu with the dividends on the class A.2 exchangeable shares and prior to and in preference to the dividends on the class C shares.

•

Question

Answers

exchangeable shares if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the New Corporation (“Additional Dividends”). It is expected that Additional Dividends may be declared from time to time in order to fund expenses of the New Corporation.

The terms of the class B shares and class C shares of our company will remain substantially unchanged, including that holders of the class B shares will continue to hold an aggregate 75% voting interest in our company and class C shares are non-voting.

The partnership will hold a 50% voting interest in our company through its indirect holding of 66^2/3% of our company’s class B shares. The New Corporation will hold the other 50% of the voting rights in our company through holding (i) 33^1/3% of the class B shares and (ii) all the class A.1 exchangeable shares.

See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement”, “The Arrangement— Reasons for the Arrangement”, “Information Concerning our Company—Share Capital”, “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Corporate Structure”.

What will our company’s relationship with Brookfield be after the Arrangement?

Our relationship with Brookfield will be substantially the same as our company’s existing relationship with Brookfield. After the Arrangement:

•

The Service Providers, who are subsidiaries of Brookfield, will continue to provide management and administrative services to us, and the New Corporation, pursuant to the Master Services Agreement in exchange for a base management fee and incentive distributions. The Master Services Agreement will continue in perpetuity until terminated in accordance with its terms. For additional information, see Item 7.B “Related Party Transactions—Relationship with Brookfield—Master Services Agreement” in our company’s Annual Report.

•

The Brookfield Group will retain its interest in our company, receiving a non-voting exchangeable interest in our company (through class A.2 exchangeable shares) that will be exchangeable for New Exchangeable Shares (subject to the ownership cap that limits the exchange by the Brookfield Group of class A.2 exchangeable shares such that exchanges by the Brookfield Group may not result in the Brookfield Group owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of New Corporation) or units.

What will our company’s relationship with Brookfield Renewable be after the Arrangement?

Our company will continue to hold its existing operations, and will retain its existing relationship and other agreements with Brookfield Renewable, including:

•

The partnership will hold a 50% voting interest in our company through its indirect holding of 66^2/3% of our class B shares and all of the class C shares. The class C shares entitle the partnership to all of the residual value in our company after payment in full of the amount due to holders of exchangeable shares and class B shares and subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred shares.

•

Brookfield Renewable will continue to provide our company with an equity commitment in the amount of $1 billion. In addition, our company will retain its two existing credit agreements with Brookfield Renewable, one as borrower and one as lender, each providing for a ten-year revolving credit facility (expiring on July 30, 2030) to facilitate the movement of cash within our group. Each credit facility contemplates potential deposit arrangements pursuant to which the lender thereunder would, with the consent of the

The New Corporation will hold 50% of the voting rights in our company through holding (i) 33^1/3% of the class B shares and (ii) all the class A.1 exchangeable shares.

The New Corporation, our company and the partnership will enter into a pairing agreement pursuant to which the parties will agree that New Corporation will at all times hold such number of class A.1 exchangeable shares equal to the number of New Exchangeable Shares that are outstanding in order to support the duties and obligations of New Corporation to holders of New Exchangeable Shares. In connection therewith, the pairing agreement will provide, amongst other things, and unless otherwise agreed at such time, that (i) if and to the extent New Corporation raises funds from time to time by way of issuance of New Exchangeable Shares for cash, New Corporation will utilize such funds to subscribe for an equivalent number of class A.1 exchangeable shares; (ii) if and to the extent the New Corporation from time to time repurchases any New Exchangeable Shares, our company shall redeem (or otherwise repurchase from the New Corporation) an equivalent number of class A.1 exchangeable shares; (iii) our company will not, unless substantially concurrent with the redemption of New Exchangeable Shares by the New Corporation, redeem any class A.1 exchangeable shares held by the New Corporation; (iv) if and to the extent any holders of New Exchangeable Shares from time to time exercise their exchange right in respect of such New Exchangeable Shares, and in connection therewith the partnership does not exercise its overriding call right to acquire such New Exchangeable Shares, the New Corporation will, in connection therewith, exercise the exchange right in respect of an equivalent number of class A.1 exchangeable shares held by the New Corporation; (v) the New Corporation will not exercise the exchange right in respect of any class A.1 exchangeable shares held by the New Corporation except as contemplated in (iv) above; and (vi) if and to the extent a holder of class A.2 exchangeable shares exchanges its class A.2 exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares, our company will, upon receipt of such class A.2 exchangeable shares, exercise its right to convert such class A.2 exchangeable shares into class A.1 exchangeable shares.

Why is the Brookfield Group not receiving New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement?

The Brookfield Group is not receiving New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement so that New Corporation may qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” as defined in the Tax Act having regard to the proposals in the 2024 Canadian federal budget.

Instead, the exchangeable shares held by the Brookfield Group will be exchanged for class A.2 exchangeable shares which, similar to the New Exchangeable Shares, will be structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to units. The class A.2 exchangeable shares will be exchangeable for New Exchangeable Shares or units or its cash equivalent, subject to an ownership cap that limits the exchange by the Brookfield Group of class A.2 exchangeable shares such that exchanges by the Brookfield Group may not result in the Brookfield Group owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of New Corporation. For clarity, this ownership cap does not apply to exchanges of class A.2 exchangeable shares for units.

See “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement”.

Reasons for the Arrangement

The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board carefully evaluated the Arrangement and believe that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company, and the Board, other than Jeffrey Blidner who as Vice Chair of Brookfield Corporation recused himself from voting, has unanimously recommended that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. In the course of its evaluation, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board considered, among other things, the following factors:

•

base by continuing to provide investors with an opportunity to gain access to the partnership’s globally diversified portfolio of high-quality renewable power and transition assets through a corporate structure; (ii) maintaining our company’s inclusion in several large global indices and exchange traded funds; and (iii) continuing to offer a simplified and straightforward tax reporting framework and providing certain investors with a higher after-tax yield. Public holders of exchangeable shares will continue to own an economically equivalent security that provides the same economic benefits and governance as investing in our company today.

•

Fairness Opinion. RBC has provided the Fairness Opinion to the effect that, as of October 9, 2024 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of the exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.

•

Tax-Deferral. The exchange of our exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares through the Arrangement generally is expected to be tax-deferred for the vast majority of Shareholders, including U.S. and Canadian Shareholders. The Arrangement may also be tax-deferred for certain non-U.S. and non-Canadian Shareholders.

•

Financial Reporting. The Arrangement will have no impact on the consolidated financial position of the partnership, with our company remaining an indirect subsidiary of the partnership. In addition, the New Corporation will also consolidate our company, so shareholders of the New Corporation will continue to receive financial statements that reflect the results of operation and financial position of our company.

•

Mutual Fund Corporations. The Arrangement will preserve the benefits of our corporate structure while complying with the policy concerns targeted in the 2024 Canadian federal budget.

•

Shareholder and Court Approval. The procedures by which the Arrangement will be approved, including both shareholder approval and approval of the Court, offers substantial protection to shareholders. See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Completion of the Arrangement”.

•

Brookfield Group. The Brookfield Group will retain its interest in our company in the form of non-voting class A.2 exchangeable shares that will be exchangeable for New Exchangeable Shares (subject to a 9.5% ownership limit at the New Corporation) or units.

•

Credit Rating. The Arrangement is being effected in a manner that we expect will not result in any adverse impact on Brookfield Renewable’s credit rating or its preferred unitholders or debtholders.

The foregoing summary of factors considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching the determination to unanimously approve and recommend the Arrangement to shareholders and given the variety and complexity of factors considered, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors that were considered. Additionally, individual directors may have given different weights to these factors. Their respective recommendations were made after consideration of all of the above and other factors, the risk factors set out in this Circular, and in light of the directors’ collective knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of our company.

See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement”, “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement”, “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement”, and “The Arrangement—Plan of Arrangement”.

Dissent Rights

Registered Shareholders have dissent rights as to the Arrangement Resolution.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each Registered Shareholder may exercise Dissent Rights under Section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. Each Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair value (as set out in Section 4.1 of the Plan of Arrangement) of the holder’s exchangeable shares, provided that the holder duly dissents to the Arrangement Resolution and the Arrangement becomes effective. A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent with respect to its exchangeable shares should be aware that only Registered Shareholders are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights. A Registered Shareholder such as an Intermediary who holds exchangeable shares as nominee for Non-Registered Shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent, shall exercise Dissent Rights on behalf of such Non-Registered Shareholders with respect to the exchangeable shares held for such Non-Registered Shareholders.

Canadian Securities Law Matters

The partnership and our company have been granted exemptive relief from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for (i) related party transactions (as defined in MI 61-101) of the partnership with our company or our company’s subsidiary entities (as defined in MI 61-101) and (ii) related party transactions of our company with the partnership or the partnership’s subsidiary entities, in each case subject to certain conditions.

The partnership and our company have also been granted exemptive relief from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for related party transactions of our company with persons other than the partnership or subsidiary entities of the partnership, provided that, amongst other conditions, the partnership complies with the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for each such related party transaction of our company as though the partnership entered into such other related party transaction directly.

The partnership has also been granted exemptive relief from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for any related party transaction of the partnership entered into indirectly through BRELP or any subsidiary entity of BRELP if that transaction would qualify for the transaction size exemptions set out in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 if the exchangeable shares and the redeemable/exchangeable partnership units of BRELP (“Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units”) were included in the calculation of the partnership’s market capitalization, subject to certain conditions.

The New Corporation and the partnership have applied for analogous exemptive relief from the requirements of MI 61-101 that, subject to certain conditions:

•

would exempt (i) the New Corporation from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for any related party transactions (as defined in MI 61-101) of the New Corporation with the partnership or its subsidiary entities (as defined in MI 61-101) and (ii) the partnership from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for any related party transactions of the partnership with the New Corporation or the New Corporation’s subsidiary entities;

•

would exempt the New Corporation from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for any related party transactions of the New Corporation with persons other than the partnership or subsidiary entities of the partnership, provided that, amongst other conditions, the partnership complies with the requirements of MI 61-101 for each such related party transaction of our company as though the partnership entered into such other related party transaction directly; and

•

would exempt the partnership from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for any related party transactions of the partnership entered into indirectly through BRELP or any subsidiary entity of BRELP if that transaction would qualify for the transaction size exemptions set out in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 if the New Exchangeable Shares and the class A.2 exchangeable shares were included in the calculation of the partnership’s market capitalization, subject to certain conditions.

Our company does not intend to complete the Arrangement until such time that such relief is granted.

See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Canadian Securities Law Matters—MI 61-101”.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

Taxable dividends received on the New Exchangeable Shares by Canadian resident Shareholders are generally expected to qualify as eligible dividends for Canadian tax purposes. Shareholders not resident in Canada will generally be subject to 25% Canadian withholding tax (subject to reduction under an applicable tax treaty).

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the exchange of exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement, see “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below.

The effect of the foregoing is that the holders of the class B shares are entitled to cast, in the aggregate, a number of votes equal to three times the number of votes attached to the exchangeable shares. Except as otherwise expressly provided in our company’s articles or as required by law, the holders of exchangeable shares and class B shares will vote together and not as separate classes.

Notice and Access

Our company is using the Notice and Access provisions of National Instrument 54-101 — Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument 51-102 — Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“Notice and Access”) to provide meeting materials electronically to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders. Instead of mailing meeting materials to shareholders, we have posted this Circular and form of proxy on our website at https://bep.brookfield.com/bepc under “BEPC Reorganization”, in addition to posting it on our company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on our company’s EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov/edgar.

Our company will not directly send the Notice Package to Non-Registered Shareholders. Instead, our company will pay Intermediaries to forward the Notice Package to all Non-Registered Shareholders.

Our company has elected to utilize Notice and Access because it allows for a reduction in the use of printed paper materials, is consistent with our focus on sustainability and results in significantly lower printing and mailing costs in connection with the Meeting.

THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to the Arrangement

Following the announcement in the 2024 Canadian federal budget of changes to the rules relating to mutual fund corporations, management worked closely with our company’s external advisors to analyze and consider the implications to our company.

Management, in consultation with our company’s external advisors, began to explore a potential reorganization in response to such changes that would preserve the above-mentioned benefits of our company while complying with the policy concerns targeted in the 2024 Canadian federal budget.

At its regular quarterly meeting in August 2024, the Board received an update from management on the Proposed Amendments to the tax rules relating to mutual fund corporations as well as proposals related to a potential reorganization to address such changes.

At this time, the Nominating and Governance Committee, which is comprised of independent directors, was charged with responsibility for, amongst other things, evaluating the proposed reorganization, determining if the reorganization was in the best interests of our company and, if deemed advisable, making recommendations to the Board with respect thereto. At this meeting the Board approved management contacting RBC with regard to a potential engagement on behalf of the Board to provide an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the proposed reorganization to Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of exchangeable shares. On August 16, 2024, after the Board determined that RBC was qualified and independent within the meaning of MI 61-101, RBC was formally retained by the Board.

On September 25, 2024 the Nominating and Governance Committee met with management to receive an update on the proposed terms of the reorganization and related matters. At this meeting, the Nominating and Governance Committee also received a presentation from representatives of RBC that summarized their analysis with respect to the Arrangement.

Management then continued to work with our company’s external advisors to finalize the terms of the Arrangement, the Arrangement Agreement and related matters.

On October 9, 2024, the Nominating and Governance Committee met with management to review the proposed final terms of the Arrangement, the Arrangement Agreement and related matters. The Nominating and Governance Committee also received the written opinion of RBC that, as of October 9, 2024 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee discussed and considered the relative benefits and risks of the Arrangement, including those set out below under “The Arrangement—Reasons for The Arrangement”. After careful consideration, the Nominating and Governance Committee unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company and recommended that the Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.

Immediately following the Nominating and Governance Committee meeting, on October 9, 2024, the Board met to receive the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the written opinion of RBC described above and to consider the Arrangement. At the outset of the meeting, Jeffrey Blidner, who is Vice Chair of Brookfield Corporation, declared his conflict of interest in respect of the Arrangement and recused himself from voting. The Board was provided with an overview of the Arrangement, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, and the related disclosure documents. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendations and the reasons for its recommendations were then presented to the Board. After careful consideration, the Board (other than Mr. Blidner) unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company and resolved to approve the Arrangement and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

Details of the Arrangement

Reasons for the Arrangement

The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board carefully evaluated the Arrangement and believe that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company, and the Board has recommended that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. In the course of its evaluation, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board considered, among other things, the following factors:

•

Corporate Structure. The New Corporation will continue to satisfy our objectives when initially forming our company in 2020, including (i) preserving our corporate structure and maintaining a differentiated investor base by continuing to provide investors with an opportunity to gain access to the partnership’s globally diversified portfolio of high-quality renewable power and transition assets through a corporate structure; (ii) maintaining our company’s inclusion in several large global indices and exchange traded funds; and (iii) continuing to offer a simplified and straightforward tax reporting framework and providing certain investors with a higher after-tax yield. Public holders of exchangeable shares will continue to own an economically equivalent security that provides the same economic benefits and governance as investing in our company today.

•

Fairness Opinion. RBC has provided the Fairness Opinion to the effect that, as of October 9, 2024, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of the exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.

•

Mutual Fund Corporations. The Arrangement will preserve the benefits of our corporate structure while complying with the policy concerns targeted in the 2024 Canadian federal budget.

•

Recommendations of the Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists of independent directors, has assessed the terms of the Arrangement. The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board also obtained an opinion from RBC that, as of October 9, 2024 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view to such shareholders. After careful consideration, the Nominating and Governance Committee unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of our company and recommended that the Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board, other than Jeffrey Blidner who as Vice Chair of Brookfield Corporation recused himself from voting, unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

The Management Representatives intend to cast the votes to which the exchangeable shares represented by such proxy are entitled in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, unless the Shareholder has specified on the forms of proxy that the shares represented by such proxy are to be voted against the Arrangement Resolution.

Fairness Opinion

The Board initially contacted RBC regarding a potential advisory assignment in August 2024, and RBC was formally engaged by the Board through an agreement between our company and RBC dated August 16, 2024. The terms of the engagement agreement provide that RBC is to be paid a fixed fee for the Fairness Opinion (regardless of its conclusion). In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by our company in certain circumstances.

RBC is one of Canada’s largest investment banking firms, with operations in all facets of corporate and government finance, corporate banking, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading and investment research. RBC also has significant operations in the United States and internationally. The Fairness Opinion represents the opinion of RBC and the form and content of the Fairness Opinion were approved for release by a committee of its directors, each of whom is experienced in merger, acquisition, divestiture and fairness opinion matters.

The Fairness Opinion states that, in the opinion of the RBC, as of October 9, 2024 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the

Fairness Opinion) of exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.

In considering the fairness of the consideration to be received under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the Public Holders, RBC considered and relied upon (i) the potential financial impact to our company resulting from the Arrangement compared to the continuation of the status quo, which assumes that, but for the Arrangement, our company would cease to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” as defined in the Tax Act, and (ii) the expected trading characteristics of the New Exchangeable Shares after giving effect to the Arrangement compared to the trading characteristics of the exchangeable shares.

The Fairness Opinion was rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at October 9, 2024 and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of our company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the information obtained by RBC and as represented to RBC in discussions with management of our company and the Brookfield Group. In its analyses and in preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Arrangement.

The full text of the Fairness Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, information reviewed and matters considered, and the limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken in connection with the Fairness Opinion, is attached to this Circular as Appendix F. The summary of the Fairness Opinion described in this Circular is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fairness Opinion. The Board urges Shareholders to review the Fairness Opinion carefully and in its entirety. The Fairness Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any Shareholder as to whether to vote in favor of the Arrangement.

The Arrangement will be carried out pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement. This summary may not contain all of the information about the Arrangement Agreement that is important to Shareholders and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix B “Arrangement Agreement”.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated, at any time before or after the Meeting but prior to the implementation of the Arrangement, unilaterally by our company without further notice to or authorization on the part of the holders of exchangeable shares or class B shares or the other parties.

Plan of Arrangement

The following description of the steps of the Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached as Appendix B to this Circular. Shareholders are urged to read the Plan of Arrangement in its entirety.

The Plan of Arrangement pursuant to which the Arrangement will be implemented is appended as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement. See Appendix B “Arrangement Agreement”.

(c)

With respect to each exchangeable share transferred and assigned in accordance with (b) above:

DRS Advices Representing New Exchangeable Shares

Expenses of the Arrangement

The estimated fees, costs and expenses of the Arrangement are expected to be, in the aggregate, approximately $3 million. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, all fees, costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with the Arrangement, including financing fees, advisory and other professional expenses and printing and mailing costs associated with the Meeting materials will be the responsibility of, and will be paid for by, the partnership or our company.

Material Agreements

The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into in connection with the Arrangement. This summary may not contain all of the information about the agreements that is important to Shareholders and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreements. Except as otherwise described in this Circular, our relationship with Brookfield and Brookfield Renewable will remain substantially the same. For additional information, see Item 7.B “Related Party Transactions—Relationship with Brookfield” in our company’s Annual Report.

New Rights Agreement

Brookfield will enter into the New Rights Agreement with the rights agent pursuant to which Brookfield will agree that, until July 30, 2027 (and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of two years, unless Brookfield provides the rights agent with written notice of termination in accordance with the terms of the New Rights Agreement), upon an exchange of New Exchangeable Shares, if the New Corporation has not satisfied its obligation under our articles by delivering the unit amount or its cash equivalent amount (or the partnership has not exercised its call right), Brookfield will satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to our articles to exchange such New Exchangeable Shares for the unit amount or its cash equivalent. Brookfield currently intends to satisfy any exchange requests on the New Exchangeable Shares through the delivery of units rather than cash. The Master Services Agreement was also amended to provide that, so long as Brookfield is a party to the New Rights Agreement, Brookfield will have a consent right prior to the issuance by New Corporation of any New Exchangeable Shares, subject to certain exceptions.

The New Rights Agreement will have substantially the same terms as the Rights Agreement. See Item 7.B “Related Party Transactions—Relationship with Brookfield—Rights Agreement” in our company’s Annual Report for more information.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, the Rights Agreement will automatically terminate.

Under the New Registration Rights Agreement, the New Corporation will agree that, upon the request of Brookfield, the New Corporation will file one or more registration statements or prospectuses to register for sale and qualify for distribution under applicable securities laws any of New Exchangeable Shares held by Brookfield. In the New Registration Rights Agreement, we will agree to pay expenses in connection with such registration and sales and will indemnify Brookfield for material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, the Registration Rights Agreement will automatically terminate.

Pairing Agreement

Option Agreements

The New Corporation will enter into option agreements with NA Holdco and Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. pursuant to which the New Corporation will have the option to purchase all or any portion of the class B shares or class C shares held by NA Holdco and Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. The purchase price payable by the New Corporation to NA Holdco or Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. in respect of any class B share or class C share purchased by the New Corporation will be the fair market value of such class B share or class C share, as applicable.

DISSENT RIGHTS

Shareholders have dissent rights as to the Arrangement Resolution, as described below.

Dissenting to the Arrangement

The following description of the Dissent Rights is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of its exchangeable shares and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix C, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix F. A Dissenting Shareholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order.

The statutory provisions dealing with the right of dissent are technical and complex. Any Dissenting Shareholder should seek independent legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, may result in the loss of all Dissent Rights.

The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the Dissent Rights described herein based on the evidence presented at such hearing.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each Registered Shareholder may exercise Dissent Rights under Section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. Each Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair value (determined as of the close of business on the last business day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted at the Meeting) of all, but not less than all, of the exchangeable shares of which the holder is both the registered and beneficial owner, as well as the exchangeable shares of which the holder is the registered holder and in respect of which it has received instructions to dissent from the beneficial holder(s) thereof, provided that the holder duly dissents to the Arrangement Resolution and the Arrangement becomes effective.

A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent with respect to its exchangeable shares should be aware that only Registered Shareholders are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights. A Registered Shareholder such as an intermediary who holds exchangeable shares as nominee for Non-Registered Shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent, shall exercise Dissent Rights on behalf of such Non-Registered Shareholders with respect to the exchangeable shares held for such Non-Registered Shareholders. A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent must dissent in respect of all of the exchangeable shares held by such Shareholder, whether registered or held beneficially.

With respect to exchangeable shares, pursuant to the Interim Order, a Registered Shareholder may exercise rights of dissent under Section 237 to Section 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and Final Order provided that, notwithstanding Section 242(1)(a) of the BCBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution must be received from such Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent by our company at c/o Torys LLP, Attn: Andrew Gray, at Suite 3300, 79 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5K 1N2, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two business days immediately preceding the date of the Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time).

A Shareholder exercising its right to dissent must exercise such right in respect of all of the exchangeable shares that the Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner of, as well as all of the shares it is the beneficial owner of. A Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent must deliver the Notice of Dissent to our company as set forth above and such Notice of Dissent must strictly comply with the requirements of Section 242 of the BCBCA. Any failure by a Shareholder to fully comply with the provisions of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, may result in the loss of that holder’s Dissent Rights. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to exercise Dissent Rights must cause the Registered Shareholder holding their exchangeable shares to deliver the Notice of Dissent.

To exercise Dissent Rights, a Registered Shareholder must prepare a separate Notice of Dissent for him, her or itself, if dissenting on his, her or its own behalf, and for each other beneficial Shareholder who beneficially owns

exchangeable shares registered in the Shareholder’s name and on whose behalf the Shareholder is dissenting; and, if dissenting on its own behalf, must dissent with respect to all of the exchangeable shares registered in his, her or its name or if dissenting on behalf of a beneficial Shareholder, with respect to all of the exchangeable shares registered in his, her or its name and beneficially owned by the beneficial Shareholder on whose behalf the Shareholder is dissenting. The Notice of Dissent must set out the number of exchangeable shares in respect of which the Dissent Rights are being exercised (the “Notice Shares”) and: (a) if such exchangeable shares constitute all of the exchangeable shares of which the Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner and the Shareholder owns no other exchangeable shares beneficially, a statement to that effect; (b) if such exchangeable shares constitute all of the exchangeable shares of which the Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner, but the Shareholder owns additional exchangeable shares beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Shareholder of those other exchangeable shares, the number of exchangeable shares held by each such Registered Shareholder and a statement that written notices of dissent are being or have been sent with respect to such other exchangeable shares; or (c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Registered Shareholder who is not the beneficial owner of such exchangeable shares, a statement to that effect and the name and address of the beneficial Shareholder and a statement that the Registered Shareholder is dissenting with respect to all exchangeable shares of the beneficial Shareholder registered in such registered holder’s name.

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved, and our company notifies a registered holder of Notice Shares of our company’s intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution pursuant to Section 243 of the BCBCA, in order to exercise Dissent Rights, such Shareholder must, within one month after our company gives such notice, send to our company a written notice that such holder requires the purchase of all of the Notice Shares in respect of which such holder has given Notice of Dissent. Such written notice must be accompanied by the certificate(s) or DRS advice(s) representing those Notice Shares (including a written statement prepared in accordance with Section 244(1)(c) of the BCBCA if the dissent is being exercised by the Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial Shareholder), whereupon, subject to the provisions of the BCBCA relating to the termination of Dissent Rights, the Shareholder becomes a Dissenting Shareholder, and is bound to sell and our company is bound to purchase and cancel those exchangeable shares. Such Dissenting Shareholder may not vote, or exercise or assert any rights of a Shareholder in respect of such Notice Shares, other than the rights set forth in Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order.

Dissenting Shareholders who are:

•

ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their exchangeable shares shall be deemed not to have participated in the Arrangement and will be paid an amount equal to such fair value determined in accordance with the procedures applicable to the payout value set out in Sections 244 and 245 of the BCBCA and determined as of the close of business on the business day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted, by our company, and will be deemed to have transferred such exchangeable shares as of the Effective Time to our company, without any further act or formality, and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances; or

•

ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their exchangeable shares, will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder that has not exercised Dissent Rights and shall be entitled to receive only the New Exchangeable Shares on the basis determined in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Plan of Arrangement that such holder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such registered holder had not exercised Dissent Rights.

If a Dissenting Shareholder is ultimately entitled to be paid by our company for their Notice Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder may enter an agreement with our company for the fair value of such Notice Shares. If such Dissenting Shareholder does not reach an agreement with our company, such Dissenting Shareholder, or our company, may apply to the Court, and the Court may:

•

determine the payout value of the Notice Shares, or order that the payout value of the Notice Shares be established by arbitration or by reference to a Registrar, or a referee, of the Court;

•

join in the application of each Dissenting Shareholder who has not agreed with our company on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares; and

•

make consequential orders and give directions as the Court considers appropriate.

There is no obligation on our company to make an application to the Court. The Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive the fair value that the Notice Shares had as of the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted at the Meeting, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the vote (unless such exclusion would be inequitable). After a determination of the fair value of the Notice Shares, our company must then promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder.

In no case shall our company or the New Corporation or any other person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of New Exchangeable Shares after the Effective Time.

For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in the Interim Order, no person shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to exchangeable shares in respect of which a person has voted or has instructed a proxy holder to vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution.

Dissent Rights with respect to Notice Shares will terminate and cease to apply to the Dissenting Shareholder if, before full payment is made for the Notice Shares, the Arrangement in respect of which the Notice of Dissent was sent is abandoned or by its terms will not proceed, a court permanently enjoins or sets aside the corporate action approved by the Arrangement Resolution, or the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Notice of Dissent with our company’s written consent. If any of these events occur, our company must return the share certificates or DRS advices(s) representing the exchangeable shares to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder regains the ability to vote and exercise its rights as a exchangeable shareholder.

The discussion above is only a summary of the Dissent Rights, which are technical and complex. A Shareholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights must strictly adhere to the procedures established in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, and failure to do so may result in the loss of all Dissent Rights. Persons who are beneficial Shareholders registered in the name of an intermediary, or in some other name, who wish to exercise Dissent Rights, should be aware that only the registered owner of such exchangeable shares is entitled to dissent.

It is suggested that any Shareholder wishing to avail himself or herself of Dissent Rights seek his or her own legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the applicable provisions of the BCBCA and the Interim Order may prejudice the availability of Dissent Rights. Dissenting Shareholders should note that the exercise of Dissent Rights can be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process.

CERTAIN LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Completion of the Arrangement

•

the required shareholder approval of the Arrangement Resolution;

•

the Final Order;

•

the TSX Approvals, the NYSE Approvals and other applicable approvals; and

•

effectiveness of the Exchange form F-3.

The Arrangement Agreement provides for the Arrangement Records to be filed with the registrar after the Final Order has been granted time at any time as our company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, after the conditions precedent contained in the Arrangement Agreement have been satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived, as applicable. See “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement—Conditions Precedent”.

Timing

Our company expects to complete the Arrangement following the receipt of the required shareholder approval, the issue of the Final Order and the receipt of all other approvals. It is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, completion of the Arrangement is dependent on many factors, and it is not possible at this time to determine precisely when the Arrangement will become effective.

Shareholder Approval

At the Meeting, holders of exchangeable shares and class B shares will be asked to approve the Arrangement Resolution. In accordance with the Interim Order, the approval of the Arrangement Resolution will require the affirmative vote of:

Canadian Securities Law Matters

MI 61-101

subsidiary entities of the partnership, provided that, amongst other conditions, the partnership complies with the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for each such related party transaction of our company as though the partnership entered into such other related party transaction directly.

The partnership has also been granted exemptive relief from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for any related party transaction of the partnership entered into indirectly through BRELP or any subsidiary entity of BRELP if that transaction would qualify for the transaction size exemptions set out in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 if the exchangeable shares and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units were included in the calculation of the partnership’s market capitalization, subject to certain conditions.

The New Corporation and the partnership have applied for analogous exemptive relief from the requirements of MI 61-101 that, subject to certain conditions:

•

Our company does not intend to complete the Arrangement until such time that such relief is granted.

The Arrangement constitutes a related party transaction of our company under MI 61-101 insofar as it results in all of the exchangeable shares held by the Brookfield Group being exchanged for class A.2 exchangeable shares. In accordance with the exemptive relief described above, our company is exempt from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for such related party transaction, provided that, among other conditions, the partnership complies with the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 for such related party transaction as though the partnership entered into such related party transaction directly. The partnership is exempt from the minority approval and valuation requirements in MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 because neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, such related party transaction exceeds 25% of the partnership’s market capitalization, calculated in accordance with the exemptive relief obtained by the partnership described above.

Qualification and Resale of Securities

The New Exchangeable Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement will be issued in reliance on an exemption from the prospectus requirements of securities legislation in each province and territory of Canada. Subject to certain disclosure and regulatory requirements and to customary restrictions applicable to distributions of shares that constitute “control distributions”, the shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in each province and territory in Canada, subject in certain circumstances, to the usual conditions that no unusual effort, or no effort, has been made to prepare the market or create demand.

United States Securities Laws Matters

The following discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. federal securities laws that may be applicable to holders of the New Exchangeable Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement. All holders

of such securities are urged to obtain legal advice to ensure that the resale of such securities complies with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws.

Exemption from U.S. Registration

The issuance of the New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be made in reliance on Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, and in compliance with, or in reliance on an exemption from, the registration or qualification requirements of any “blue sky” laws. Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act exempts from registration the offer and sale of a security which is issued in exchange for outstanding securities, claims or property interests, or partly in such exchange and partly for cash, where the terms and conditions of such issue and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to appear, by a court or governmental authority expressly authorized by law to grant such approval. The Final Order, if granted, will constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act with respect to the shares issued in connection with the Arrangement. In connection with the hearing for the Interim Order, the Court will be advised that the New Exchangeable Shares will be issued in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption.

The Securities Act will impose certain restrictions on resale on the New Exchangeable Shares to be received by a Shareholder who will be an “affiliate” of the New Corporation after the Arrangement. As defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, an “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer. Typically, persons who are executive officers, directors or 10% or greater shareholders of an issuer are considered to be its “affiliates”. Holders should consult with their own legal counsel regarding status as an “affiliate”.

Shareholders who are not “affiliates” of the New Corporation and have not been “affiliates” of the New Corporation within 90 days of the date of the Arrangement, may resell their New Exchangeable Shares issued to them pursuant to the Arrangement in the United States without restriction under the Securities Act.

Shareholders who are “affiliates” of the New Corporation after the Arrangement may not resell their New Exchangeable Shares that they receive in connection with the Arrangement in the absence of registration under the Securities Act, unless an exemption from registration is available, such as the exemptions contained in Rule 144 or Regulation S. For “affiliates”, Rule 144 imposes additional resale requirements, including volume limitations and manner of sale and notice requirements. Under Regulation S, resales by “affiliates” of the New Corporation, otherwise than solely by virtue of their position as a director or officer, also may be subject to additional resale restrictions.

Shareholders are urged to consult with their own legal counsel to ensure that any subsequent resale of New Exchangeable Shares distributed to them under the Arrangement complies with applicable securities laws.

Following closing of the Arrangement, New Corporation will be deemed to be a “successor issuer” to our company under the Exchange Act, and consequently, the New Exchangeable Shares will be deemed to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and New Corporation will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. As a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act, New Corporation will, upon consummation of the Arrangement, be required to furnish to the SEC current reports on Form 6-K and will file annual reports with the SEC on Form 20-F. New Corporation has applied to list the New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement on the NYSE, as well as the TSX.

Our company is a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and Rule 36-4 under the Exchange Act. The solicitation of proxies for the Meeting is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by virtue of an exemption for foreign private issuers. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are being made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the Securities Act and proxy statements under the Exchange Act.

Information concerning our company and New Corporation contained herein has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial statements and other financial information of our company and New Corporation set forth herein have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. IFRS differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles, and the financial statements and financial information of our company and New Corporation may not be comparable with financial statements and financial information of similar United States entities that file reports with the SEC.

Shareholders subject to U.S. federal income taxation should be aware that the tax consequences to them of the Arrangement under certain U.S. federal income tax laws described in this Circular are a summary only. They are advised to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of participating in the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of the New Exchangeable Shares acquired pursuant to the Arrangement. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” for certain information concerning the tax consequences of the Arrangement for Shareholders who are subject to U.S. federal income taxation.

The chart below provides an illustration of the simplified corporate structure of the New Corporation immediately following completion of the Arrangement. Please note that on this chart all interests are 100% unless otherwise indicated, “GP Interest” denotes a general partnership interest and “LP Interest” denotes a limited partnership interest. This chart should be read in conjunction with the explanation of our ownership and organizational structure below and the information included in the Circular.

LOGO

(1)	Brookfield’s general partner interest is held through Brookfield Renewable Partners Limited, a Bermuda company that is indirectly wholly-owned by Brookfield.

(2)

Brookfield’s limited partnership interest in BRELP, held in Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, is redeemable for cash or exchangeable for units in accordance with the Redemption-Exchange Mechanism, which could result in the Brookfield Holders collectively eventually owning approximately 56% of the issued and outstanding units assuming exchange of the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units (and including the issued and outstanding units that the Brookfield Holders also own). This also includes units held by BNT and its subsidiaries and related entities.

(3)	Following completion of the Arrangement, the Brookfield Holders will own approximately 48% of BEP on a fully-exchanged basis, assuming the exchange of all of the outstanding Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, New Exchangeable Shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares for units.

(4)	Certain affiliates of Brookfield provide services to BEP and BEPC.

(5)	BEP has voting control of BRELP by way of a voting agreement.

(6)

The share capital of our company will be comprised of class A.1 exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares, class B shares and class C shares. The New Corporation will own all of the class A.1 exchangeable shares, which hold an aggregate 25% voting interest in our company. The Brookfield Group will hold all of the class A.2 exchangeable shares, which are non-voting. The class B shares hold an aggregate 75% voting interest in our company and will be held 66^2/3% by

a subsidiary of the partnership and 33^1/3% by the New Corporation. The class C shares are non-voting and are held by a subsidiary of the partnership. Through their respective ownership of class A.1 exchangeable shares and class B shares, the New Corporation and the partnership will each hold a 50% voting interest in our company.

(7)

BEP owns all of the New Class B Shares through its subsidiaries and following completion of the Arrangement the public, including BNT and its subsidiaries and related entities, will hold New Exchangeable Shares. The New Exchangeable Shares and the New Class B Shares hold 25% and 75%, respectively, of the aggregate voting rights of the shares of the New Corporation.

Description of the Business

The New Corporation will carry on its business through our company. Similar to our company, the New Corporation will be an alternative investment vehicle for investors who prefer owning securities through a corporate structure. While our current operations are primarily located in Brazil, Colombia, the United States, and Europe, shareholders will, on economic terms, have exposure to all regions the Brookfield Renewable operates in as a result of the exchange feature attaching to the New Exchangeable Shares. For additional information, please refer to our company’s Annual Report.

Financial Information

The following financial statements have been prepared in connection with the Arrangement:

the New Corporation’s audited statement of financial position as of October 3, 2024, being the date of formation of the New Corporation;

the New Corporation’s unaudited pro forma statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 to illustrate our company’s statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 with adjustments for the Arrangement; and

the New Corporation’s unaudited pro forma statement of income (loss) for (i) the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and (ii) the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 to illustrate our company’s statement of income (loss) for (i) the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and (ii) the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 with adjustments for the Arrangement.

See Appendix H “New Corporation Audited Financial Statements” and Appendix I “New Corporation Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Financial Position and Income (Loss)”.

Relationship with Brookfield Renewable

After the completion of the Arrangement, our group will comprise the New Corporation together with our company and Brookfield Renewable. Our group will continue to serve as a primary vehicle through which Brookfield will directly or indirectly acquire renewable power and transition assets on a global basis. After the Arrangement, the partnership will hold a 75% voting interest in the New Corporation through its holding of the New Class B Shares, which will also entitle the partnership to all of the residual value in the New Corporation after payment in full of the amount due to holders of New Exchangeable Shares. The partnership’s ownership of the New Class B Shares will entitle it to receive dividends as and when declared by the board of directors of the New Corporation, subject to the holders of the New Exchangeable Shares receiving the dividends to which they are entitled, but it is not expected that meaningful dividends will be paid on the New Class B Shares in the ordinary course.

Prior to the closing of the Arrangement, the New Corporation will enter into two deposit agreements with one or more subsidiaries of the partnership, one as depositor/lender and one as depositee/borrower. Each deposit agreement will contemplate potential deposit arrangements pursuant to which the parties thereunder would mutually agree to deposit funds thereunder from time to time on a demand basis at a specified rate of interest. Additionally, the New Corporation, as borrower, will enter into a credit agreement with NA Holdco, as lender, pursuant to which NA Holdco will establish a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 in favour of the New Corporation. The credit agreement will provide for borrowings in Canadian dollars based on prime or CORRA, and U.S. dollars based on U.S. base rate and SOFR. The credit agreement will have a five-year term, subject to automatic one-year extensions occurring annually unless terminated by the lender. See “The Arrangement—Material Agreements—Deposit Agreements” for more information.

Relationship with Brookfield Group

The Brookfield Group will retain its interest in our company by exchanging its exchangeable shares for non-voting class A.2 exchangeable shares that will be exchangeable for New Exchangeable Shares (subject to the ownership cap that limits the exchange by the Brookfield Group of class A.2 exchangeable shares such that exchanges by the Brookfield Group may not result in the Brookfield Group owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of New Corporation) or units.

In connection with the closing of the Arrangement, Brookfield will enter into the New Rights Agreement with the rights agent, pursuant to which Brookfield will agree that, until July 30, 2027 (and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of two years, unless Brookfield provides the rights agent with written notice of termination in accordance with the terms of the New Rights Agreement), upon an exchange of New Exchangeable Shares, if the New Corporation has not satisfied its obligation under our articles by delivering the unit amount or its cash equivalent amount (or the partnership has not exercised its call right), Brookfield will satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to our articles to exchange such New Exchangeable Shares for the unit amount or its cash equivalent. Brookfield currently intends to satisfy any exchange requests on the New Exchangeable Shares through the delivery of units rather than cash. The Master Services Agreement was also amended to provide that, so long as Brookfield is a party to the New Rights Agreement, Brookfield will have a consent right prior to the issuance by New Corporation of any New Exchangeable Shares, subject to certain exceptions. See “The Arrangement—Material Agreements—New Rights Agreement” for more information.

In connection with the closing of the Arrangement, the New Corporation, the partnership and Brookfield will enter into the New Registration Rights Agreement, which is comparable to the Registration Rights Agreement. See “The Arrangement—Material Agreements—New Registration Rights Agreement” for more information.

Directors and Executive Officers

Following completion of the Arrangement, the board of directors of New Corporation will initially be identical to the Board as of the date of this Circular and will mirror the board of the general partner of the partnership, except that there will be two additional non-overlapping board members to assist us with, among other things, resolving any conflicts of interest that may arise from our relationship with Brookfield Renewable. Randy MacEwen and Eleazar de Carvalho Filho currently serve as the non-overlapping members of the Board. Mr. MacEwen has served on our board since 2021 and Mr. de Carvalho Filho since 2020.

We also expect that the initial executive officers of the New Corporation will be the same executive officers of our company.

For a discussion related to our corporate governance practices and director compensation and equity ownership, which will apply to the New Corporation following completion of the Arrangement, see “Statement of Corporate Governance Practices” and “Director Compensation and Equity Ownership” in the 2024 Annual Management Information Circular, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular.

Share Capital

Following completion of the Arrangement, the New Corporation’s authorized share capital will consist of: (i) an unlimited number of New Exchangeable Shares, and (ii) an unlimited number of New Class B Shares.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, and based on the exchangeable shares and class B shares issued as at October 15, 2024, we anticipate approximately 145 million New Exchangeable Shares and approximately 35,000 New Class B Shares will be issued and outstanding. Brookfield Renewable will hold all of the New Class B Shares, having a 75% voting interest in the New Corporation.

Description of New Exchangeable Shares

The New Exchangeable Shares will have substantially the same terms as our exchangeable shares. The following description of New Exchangeable Shares sets forth certain general terms and provisions of New Exchangeable Shares. This description is in all respects subject to and qualified in its entirety by applicable law and the provisions of the New Corporation’s articles, which are attached as Appendix G to this Circular. Each New Exchangeable Share is intended to provide its holder with an economic return that is equivalent to that of a unit because of the ability to exchange into a unit or its cash equivalent and the identical distributions that are expected to be paid on each New Exchangeable Share. Consequently, we expect that the market price of our New Exchangeable Shares will be significantly impacted by the market price of the units and the combined business performance of our company, the New Corporation, the partnership and their respective subsidiaries as a whole.

Voting

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the articles or as required by law, each holder of New Exchangeable Shares is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of our shareholders. Each holder of New Exchangeable Shares is entitled to cast one vote for each New Exchangeable Share held at the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote on any matter. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the articles or as required by law, the holders of New Exchangeable Shares and New Class B Shares will vote together and not as separate classes.

Holders of New Exchangeable Shares hold an aggregate 25% voting interest in the New Corporation.

Dividends

The holders of New Exchangeable Shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the board of directors of the New Corporation subject to the special rights of any other shares ranking senior to the New Exchangeable Shares with respect to priority in payment of dividends. It is expected that each New Exchangeable Share will receive identical dividends to the distributions paid on each unit.

Each New Exchangeable Share entitles its holder to cumulative dividends per share in a cash amount equal in value to (i) the amount of any distribution made on a unit multiplied by (ii) the conversion factor (which is currently one, subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership) determined in accordance with the articles and in effect on the record date of such dividend (the “Exchangeable Dividends”). See “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of New Exchangeable Shares—Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”. The record and payment dates for the dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, will be the same as the record and payment dates for the distributions upon the units.

If the full amount of an Exchangeable Dividend is not declared and paid concurrently with a distribution on the units, or is declared but is not paid on the payment date, then the undeclared or unpaid amount of such Exchangeable Dividend will accrue and accumulate (without interest), whether or not the New Corporation has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment thereof and whether or not such Exchangeable Dividend has been earned, declared or authorized. Any Exchangeable Dividend payment made will first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid Exchangeable Dividends due which remain payable (the “Unpaid Dividends”). The holders of New Exchangeable Shares are not entitled to any dividends from the New Corporation other than the Exchangeable Dividends.

Exchange by Holder

Holders of New Exchangeable Shares have the right to exchange all or a portion of their New Exchangeable Shares for one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described below in “—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by our transfer agent (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all Unpaid Dividends, if

any (the form of payment to be determined at the sole discretion of our group). In the event the partnership ceases to be a publicly listed entity, the value of a unit will be determined by (i) the last available bid price from an independent source such as an over-the-counter market or an independent investment banking firm; or (ii) if (i) is not applicable, then the amount that a holder of a unit would receive upon the liquidation of the partnership and sale of its assets in accordance with the terms of its partnership agreement. If you hold New Exchangeable Shares through a broker, please contact your broker to request an exchange on your behalf. If you are a registered holder of New Exchangeable Shares, please contact the transfer agent and follow the process described below.

Each holder of New Exchangeable Shares who wishes to exchange one or more of his or her New Exchangeable Shares for units or its cash equivalent is required to complete and deliver a notice of exchange in the form available from our transfer agent. Upon receipt of a notice of exchange, the New Corporation will, within ten (10) business days after the date that the notice of exchange is received by our transfer agent, deliver to the tendering holder of New Exchangeable Shares, in accordance with instructions set forth in the notice of exchange, one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustments in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described below in “—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by our transfer agent (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all Unpaid Dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the sole election of the New Corporation). Upon completion of the exchange of any New Exchangeable Shares as described herein, the holder of New Exchangeable Shares who has exchanged their New Exchangeable Shares will have no further right, with respect to any New Exchangeable Shares so exchanged, to receive any dividends on New Exchangeable Shares with a record date on or after the date on which such New Exchangeable Shares are exchanged.

Notwithstanding the paragraph above, when a notice of exchange has been delivered to us by or on behalf of a tendering holder of New Exchangeable Shares, we will promptly, and in any event, within one (1) business day after receipt thereof, deliver to each of Brookfield and the partnership a written notification of our receipt of such notice of exchange setting forth the identity of the holder of New Exchangeable Shares who wishes to exchange such New Exchangeable Shares and the number of New Exchangeable Shares to be exchanged. The partnership may elect to satisfy our exchange obligation by acquiring all of the tendered New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustments in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described below in “—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by our transfer agent (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all Unpaid Dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the sole election of the partnership). If the partnership elects to satisfy our exchange obligation, it will, within three (3) business days from the receipt of the holder’s notice of exchange, provide written notice to our transfer agent of its intention to satisfy the exchange obligation and will satisfy such obligation within ten (10) business days from the date that the notice of exchange is received by our transfer agent by delivering to such holder of New Exchangeable Shares the units or its cash equivalent. Unitholders are not entitled to vote on the partnership’s exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

In the event that a tendering holder of New Exchangeable Shares has not received the number of units or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the sole discretion of our group) in satisfaction of the tendered New Exchangeable Shares, then such tendering holder of New Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to receive the equivalent of such cash amount or units amount from Brookfield pursuant to the New Rights Agreement until July 30, 2027 (and as automatically renewed for successive periods of two years, unless Brookfield provides the rights agent with written notice of termination in accordance with the terms of the New Rights Agreement). In this scenario, the tendered New Exchangeable Shares will be delivered to the rights agent in exchange for the delivery of the equivalent of the cash amount or units amount from a collateral account of Brookfield administered by the rights agent. The partnership has agreed to indemnify Brookfield, in its capacity as selling securityholder, for certain liabilities under applicable securities laws concerning selling securityholders, in connection with any units delivered by Brookfield pursuant to the New Rights Agreement.

No Fractional Units. No fractional units will be issued or delivered upon exchange of New Exchangeable Shares. In lieu of any fractional units to which the tendering holder of New Exchangeable Shares would otherwise be entitled at our group’s election, our group will pay an amount in cash equal to the unit value on the trading day immediately preceding the exchange date multiplied by such fraction of a unit.

Conversion of Tendered New Exchangeable Shares. Brookfield Renewable is entitled at any time to have any or all New Exchangeable Shares acquired by Brookfield Renewable converted into New Class B Shares on a one-for-one basis.

Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events. The conversion factor (which is currently one) is subject to adjustment in accordance with the New Corporation’s articles to reflect certain capital events, including (i) if the partnership and the New Corporation declares or pays a distribution to its unitholders consisting wholly or partly of units or a dividend to its shareholders consisting wholly or partly of New Exchangeable Shares without a corresponding distribution or dividend, as applicable, being declared or paid by the other entity; (ii) if the partnership or the New Corporation splits, subdivides, reverse-splits or combines its outstanding units or New Exchangeable Shares as applicable, without a corresponding event occurring at the other entity; (iii) if the partnership or the New Corporation distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its units or New Exchangeable Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire units or New Exchangeable Shares (or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for units or New Exchangeable Shares), as applicable, without a corresponding distribution of rights, options or warrants by the other entity; (iv) if the partnership distributes to all or substantially all holders of units evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities), or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities but excluding all distributions where a comparable distribution (or the cash equivalent) is made by the New Corporation; or (v) if the partnership or one of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the units (but excluding for all purposes any exchange or tender offer to exchange units for New Exchangeable Shares or any other security economically equivalent to units), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per unit exceeds certain thresholds.

Redemption by Issuer

The New Corporation’s board has the right upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to holders of New Exchangeable Shares to redeem all of the then outstanding New Exchangeable Shares at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable law, including without limitation following the occurrence of any of the following redemption events (each a “Redemption Event”): (i) the total number of New Exchangeable Shares outstanding decreases by 50% or more over any twelve-month period; (ii) a person acquires 90% of the units in a take-over bid (as defined by applicable securities law); (iii) unitholders of the partnership approve an acquisition of the partnership by way of arrangement or amalgamation; (iv) unitholders of the partnership approve a restructuring or other reorganization of the partnership; (v) there is a sale of all or substantially all of the partnership assets; (vi) there is a change of law (whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action), administrative practice or interpretation, or a change in circumstances of the New Corporation and our shareholders, that may result in adverse tax consequences for the New Corporation or our shareholders; or (vii) the New Corporation’s board, in its sole discretion, concludes that the unitholders of the partnership or holders of New Exchangeable Shares are adversely impacted by a fact, change or other circumstance relating to the New Corporation. For greater certainty, unitholders do not have the ability to vote on such redemption and the New Corporation’s board’s decision to redeem all of the then outstanding New Exchangeable Shares will be final. In addition, the holder of New Class B Shares may deliver a notice to the New Corporation specifying a redemption date upon which the New Corporation will redeem all of the then outstanding New Exchangeable Shares, and upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice from the New Corporation to holders of the New Exchangeable Shares and without the consent of holders of New Exchangeable Shares, the New Corporation will be required to redeem all of the then outstanding New Exchangeable Shares on such redemption date, subject to applicable law.

Upon any such Redemption Event, the holders of New Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to receive pursuant to such redemption one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described above in “—Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) plus all Unpaid Dividends, if any.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any Redemption Event, the partnership may elect to acquire all of the outstanding New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described above in “— Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”). Unitholders are not entitled to vote on the partnership’s exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the New Corporation, and subject to the prior rights of holders of any other class of shares of the New Corporation ranking in priority or ratably with the New Exchangeable Shares and after the payment in full to (i) any holder of New Exchangeable Shares or New Class B Shares that has submitted a notice of the exercise of the exchange rights described above at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up (or in the case of the New Class B Shares, thirty (30) days prior to the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up) and (ii) any Unpaid Dividends, the holders of New Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described above in “—Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding announcement of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the form of payment to be determined at the election of the New Corporation). If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the New Corporation are insufficient to make such payment in full, then the assets of the New Corporation will be distributed among the holders of New Exchangeable Shares ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the New Corporation, the partnership may elect to acquire all of the outstanding New Exchangeable Shares for one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described above in “—Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) plus all Unpaid Dividends, if any. The acquisition by the partnership of all the outstanding New Exchangeable Shares will occur on the day prior to the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the New Corporation. Unitholders are not entitled to vote on the partnership’s exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

Automatic Redemption upon Liquidation of the Partnership

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the partnership, including where substantially concurrent with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the New Corporation, all of the then outstanding New Exchangeable Shares will be automatically redeemed by the New Corporation on the day prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the partnership and immediately following the automatic redemption by our company of the class A.1 exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares (or the exercise by the partnership of any call rights in respect thereof). Each holder of New Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described above in “— Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding the announcement of such redemption plus all Unpaid Dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the election of the New Corporation).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such redemption, the partnership may elect to acquire all of the outstanding New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for one unit per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by the New Corporation or the partnership as described above in “— Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) plus all Unpaid Dividends, if any. The acquisition by the partnership of all the outstanding New Exchangeable Shares will occur on the day prior to the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the partnership. Unitholders are not entitled to vote on the partnership’s exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

Book-Based System

The New Exchangeable Shares may be uncertificated or represented in the form of one or more fully registered share certificates held by, or on behalf of, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) or Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as applicable, as custodian of such certificates for the participants of CDS or DTC, registered in the name of CDS or DTC or their respective nominee, and registration of ownership and transfers of the New Exchangeable Shares may be effected through the book-based system administered by CDS or DTC, as applicable.

Treatment of New Exchangeable Shares in Connection with a Takeover Bid, Issuer Bid or Tender Offer

The New Exchangeable Shares are not units and will not be treated as units for purposes of the application of applicable Canadian or U.S. rules relating to takeover bids, issuer bids and tender offers. Units and New Exchangeable Shares are not securities of the same class. As a result, holders of New Exchangeable Shares will not be entitled to participate in an offer or bid made to acquire units, unless such offer is extended to holders of New Exchangeable Shares and holders of units will not be entitled to participate in an offer or bid made to acquire New Exchangeable Shares, unless such offer is extended to holders of units. In the event of a takeover bid for units, a holder of New Exchangeable Shares who would like to participate would be required to tender his or her New Exchangeable Shares for exchange, in order to receive a unit, or the cash equivalent, at the election of our group, pursuant to the exchange right. If an issuer tender offer or issuer bid is made for the units at a price in excess of the market price of the units and a comparable offer is not made for the New Exchangeable Shares, then the conversion factor for the New Exchangeable Shares may be adjusted. See “Information Concerning the New Corporation—Description of New Exchangeable Shares—Exchange by Holder—Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events” above for more information on the circumstances in which adjustments may be made to the conversion factor.

Approval Rights

Any amendment or modification that would reasonably be expected to impact the economic equivalence of a New Exchangeable Share with a unit will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding New Exchangeable Shares not held by Brookfield, voting as a class or, in the event that there is more than one non-overlapping director of the New Corporation, the approval of a majority of such non-overlapping directors.

Transfer Restrictions

No holder of New Exchangeable Shares shall transfer to any person such number of New Exchangeable Shares such that, after giving effect to the transfer, the transferee, together with its affiliates, would hold a direct and/ or indirect interest in voting securities carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all voting securities of the New Corporation without the prior approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to the extent required.

Choice of Forum for U.S. Securities Act Claims

The New Corporation’s articles provide that unless the New Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the U.S. Securities Act. In the absence of this provision, under the U.S. Securities Act, U.S. federal and state courts have been found to have concurrent jurisdiction over suits brought to enforce duties or liabilities created by the U.S. Securities Act. This choice of forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce duties or liabilities created by the Exchange Act and could be found to be inapplicable or unenforceable if it is challenged in a legal proceeding or otherwise.

The audit committee will be required to consist solely of independent directors and each member must be financially literate and there will be at least one member designated as an audit committee financial expert. The audit committee will be responsible for assisting and advising the New Corporation’s board with matters relating to:

•

our accounting and financial reporting processes;

•

the integrity and audits of our financial statements;

•

our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

•

the qualifications, experience, performance and independence of our independent auditor; and

The New Corporation’s board will adopt a written policy on auditor independence, or the pre-approval policy.

bookkeeping or other services related to the New Corporation’s accounting records or financial statements;

actuarial services;

The New Corporation’s audit committee will consist solely of independent directors, each of whom are persons determined by the New Corporation to be financially literate within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARTNERSHIP

Summary Information

The partnership is a Bermuda exempted limited partnership that was formed on June 27, 2011, under the provisions of the Exempted Partnership Act 1992 of Bermuda and the Limited Partnership Act 1883 of Bermuda. The partnership’s head and registered office is located at 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda and the partnership’s telephone number at that address is +1 441 294-3304.

Brookfield Renewable invests in clean-energy assets directly, as well as with institutional partners, joint venture partners and in other arrangements, and operates one of the world’s largest publicly traded platforms for renewable power and sustainable solutions. Brookfield Renewable’s renewable power portfolio consists of hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar, distributed generation and storage facilities in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.

Our group pursues a strategy which it expects will provide for highly stable, predictable cash flows sourced from predominantly long-life renewable power assets ensuring a sustainable distribution yield. Our group’s operating cash flows are correlated to the amount of electricity produced, which is in turn dependent upon available water flows and upon wind, irradiance and weather conditions generally. In the short-term, hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; over time however, our group expects that its facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance. Our group’s distribution policy is therefore based on long-term expectations of business performance, without modification on account of short-term hydrology, wind and irradiance fluctuations. Our group targets a payout ratio of 70% of Funds From Operations, a non-IFRS proxy for earnings from operations on a proportionate basis. For additional information, please refer to the partnership’s Annual Report.

Description of Units

The units are non-voting limited partnership interests in the partnership. Holders of units are not entitled to the withdrawal or return of capital contributions in respect of the units, except to the extent, if any, that distributions are made to such holders pursuant to the partnership’s limited partnership agreement or upon the liquidation of the partnership as described in the partnership’s Annual Report or as otherwise required by applicable law. Except to the extent expressly provided in the partnership’s limited partnership agreement, a holder of units will not have priority over any other holder of units, either as to the return of capital contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions. The units rank junior to the partnership’s preferred limited partnership units with respect to priority in the payment of distributions and in the distribution of the assets of the partnership in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, as further described in the partnership’s Annual Report. Holders of units will not be granted any preemptive or other similar right to acquire additional interests in the partnership. In addition, holders of units do not have any right to have their units redeemed by the partnership. For a more detailed description of the units, please refer to the partnership’s Annual Report, as updated by the partnership’s subsequent filings with securities regulatory authorities in Canada that are incorporated by reference in this Circular. Certain material U.S. and Canadian federal income tax considerations related to such units are described in the partnership’s Annual Report.

INFORMATION CONCERNING OUR COMPANY

Summary Information

Our company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on September 9, 2019. Our head office is located at 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York NY 10281 and our registered office is located at 1055 West Georgia Street, Suite 1500, P.O Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.

Following the Effective Time, our company will be a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, it will be delisted from the TSX and NYSE and we will apply for it to cease to be a reporting issuer. Our company will also change its name to Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation.

Relationship with Brookfield Renewable

Our company will continue to hold its existing operations, and will retain its existing relationship and other agreements with Brookfield Renewable, including:

•

The partnership will hold a 50% voting interest in our company through its indirect holding of 66^2/3% of our class B shares, and will own all of the class C shares, which entitles the partnership to all of the residual value in our company after payment in full of the amount due to holders of exchangeable shares and class B shares and subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred shares.

•

Except as otherwise described in this Circular, our relationship with Brookfield and Brookfield Renewable will remain substantially the same. For additional information, see Item 7.B “Related Party Transactions” in our company’s Annual Report.

Share Capital

The following is a summary of certain provisions attaching to or affecting the class A.1 exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares, class B shares and class C shares. This description is in all respects subject to and qualified in its entirety by applicable law and the provisions of the amended articles of our company, which are attached as Exhibit I to the Plan of Arrangement which is set out in Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached as Appendix B to this Circular.

The existing exchangeable shares will be replaced with class A.1 exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares with the following terms:

•

A.2 exchangeable shares, and our company will not deliver, a number of New Exchangeable Shares that would result in the Brookfield Group, after giving effect to the exchange, directly or indirectly, beneficially owning, controlling or holding shares representing 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of the New Corporation. For clarity, this ownership cap does not apply to exchanges of class A.2 exchangeable shares for units.

•

Dividends on the class A.1 exchangeable shares will be paid pari passu with the dividends on the class A.2 exchangeable shares and prior to and in preference to the dividends on the class C shares.

•

Subject to applicable law, dividends on the class A.1 exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares will be declared in the same amount per share and will be paid contemporaneously with distributions on a unit. In addition, at any time that there are no unpaid dividends in respect of either the class A.1 exchangeable shares or class A.2 exchangeable shares, additional dividends may be declared and paid on the class A.1 exchangeable shares if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the New Corporation (“Additional Dividends”). It is expected that Additional Dividends may be declared from time to time in order to fund expenses of the New Corporation.

The terms of the class B shares and class C shares of our company will remain substantially unchanged. The partnership will hold a 50% voting interest in our company through its indirect holding of 66^2/3% of our company’s class B shares and the New Corporation will hold the other 50% of the voting rights through holding (i) 33^1/3% of the class B shares and (ii) all the class A.1 exchangeable shares, which are entitled to 25% of the voting rights of our company.

Additional details regarding the share capital of our company following the Arrangement are set out below.

Description of Class A.1 Exchangeable Shares

The class A.1 exchangeable shares will have terms that are substantially the same as the exchangeable shares, including with respect to the exchange mechanics, dividend rights, voting rights and rights on liquidation.

Each class A.1 exchangeable share will be structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to a unit and the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to each class A.1 exchangeable share will be such that each class A.1 exchangeable share will be, as nearly as practicable, functionally and economically, equivalent to a New Exchangeable Share and a unit. In particular:

the class A.1 exchangeable shares will be redeemable by our company at any time (including following a notice requiring redemption having been given by the partnership) for one (1) unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events);

•

upon a liquidation of the partnership, including where substantially concurrent with a liquidation of our company, all of the class A.1 exchangeable shares will be automatically redeemed for units (or its cash equivalent, at our company’s election) on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events); and

•

subject to applicable law and in accordance with amended articles of our company, each class A.1 exchangeable share will entitle the holder to dividends from our company payable contemporaneously, and

equivalent to, each distribution on a unit. The amended articles of our company will also provide that if a distribution is declared on the units and an equivalent dividend is not declared and paid concurrently on the class A.1 exchangeable shares, then the undeclared or unpaid amount of such dividend accrues and accumulates and is to be paid upon the first to occur of any of the circumstances contemplated by the four preceding paragraphs, if not yet paid. In addition to such dividends, additional dividends may be declared and paid on the class A.1 exchangeable shares if, as and when declared by the Board.

Description of Class A.2 Exchangeable Shares

Each class A.2 exchangeable share will be non-voting and structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to a unit and the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to each class A.2 exchangeable share will be such that each class A.2 exchangeable share will be, as nearly as practicable, functionally and economically, equivalent to a New Exchangeable Share and a unit. In particular:

•

each class A.2 exchangeable share will be exchangeable at the option of a holder for (a) one (1) New Exchangeable Share (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our company) or (b) one (1) unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our company), provided that, after giving effect to any such exchange, the Brookfield Group will not be permitted to receive a number of New Exchangeable Shares that would result in the Brookfield Group owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of New Corporation;

•

the class A.2 exchangeable shares will be redeemable by our company at any time (including following a notice requiring redemption having been given by the partnership) for (a) one (1) New Exchangeable Share (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or (b) one (1) unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our company);

•

upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of class A.2 exchangeable shares will be entitled to receive one (1) unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our company) and not any remaining property or assets of our company following such payment;

•

upon a liquidation of the partnership, including where substantially concurrent with a liquidation of our company, all of the class A.2 exchangeable shares will be automatically redeemed for units (or their cash equivalent, at our company’s election) on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events); and

•

subject to applicable law and in accordance with the amended articles of our company, each class A.2 exchangeable share will entitle the holder to dividends from our company payable contemporaneously, and equivalent to, each distribution on a unit. The amended articles of our company will also provide that if a distribution is declared on the units and an equivalent dividend is not declared and paid concurrently on the class A.2 exchangeable shares, then the undeclared or unpaid amount of such dividend accrues and accumulates and is to be paid upon the first to occur of any of the circumstances contemplated by the four preceding paragraphs, if not yet paid.

Each class A.2 exchangeable share held by the partnership or its subsidiaries will be convertible into a class A.1 exchangeable share or a class C share at the option of the holder.

Description of the Class B Shares

The class B shares will continue to be structured to provide the holders with control of our company. In particular:

•

holders of class B shares will be entitled to, in the aggregate, a number of votes equal to three (3) times the number of votes attached to the class A.1 exchangeable shares. As a result, holders of class B shares will

have a 75% voting interest in our company and holders of class A.1 exchangeable shares will have a 25% voting interest in our company; and

•

in the event that a share/stock dividend is declared and paid on the class A.1 exchangeable shares, a share/stock dividend will be paid to holders of class B shares in an equal number of class B shares as class A.1 exchangeable shares are paid to holders of class A.1 exchangeable shares.

Description of the Class C Shares

The class C shares will be unaffected by the Arrangement and will continue to be structured to provide the holders thereof with all of the residual value in our company. In particular:

•

subject to applicable law and in accordance with the terms of the class C shares, only holders of class C shares will be entitled to a residual right to participate, upon liquidation or winding-up of our company, in the assets of our company;

•

subject to applicable law and in accordance with the term of the class C shares, subject to the prior rights of the holders of the class A.1 exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares and of any preferred shares then outstanding, the holders of class C shares will be entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Board; and

•

share/stock dividends, if any, will be paid to holders of class C shares in an equal number of class C shares as class A.1 exchangeable shares are paid to holders of class A.1 exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are paid to holder of class A.2 exchangeable shares.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to BEPC and the New Corporation, the following describes certain material Canadian federal income tax consequences with respect to the disposition of the exchangeable shares and the receipt, holding and disposition of the New Exchangeable Shares acquired by a holder pursuant to the Arrangement who as beneficial owner, and who at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act, (i) deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with BEPC, New Corporation and the partnership and (ii) holds the exchangeable shares and will hold the New Exchangeable Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement as capital property (a “Holder”). Generally, such shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not hold such shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder, and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”), including the Proposed Amendments effective for taxation years beginning after 2024 with respect to “mutual fund corporations” for purposes of the Tax Act, and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, administrative or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary assumes that at all relevant times (i) the exchangeable shares are, and the New Exchangeable Shares will be, listed on a “designated stock exchange” in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), (ii) not more than 50% of the fair market value of an exchangeable share or a unit is, and not more than 50% of the fair market value of a New Exchangeable Share will be, attributable to one or more properties each of which is real property in Canada, a “Canadian resource property” or a “timber resource property”, and (iii) all or substantially all of the property of the New Corporation and the units of the partnership will not be “taxable Canadian property” (each as defined in the Tax Act). This summary also assumes that each of the partnership, BEPC and New Corporation is not a “tax shelter” or a “tax shelter investment”, each as defined in the Tax Act. However, no assurance can be given in this regard.

Following completion of the Arrangement, New Corporation will qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” as defined in the Tax Act. New Corporation intends to file the necessary election under the Tax Act so that it will be deemed to be a “public corporation” effective from the beginning of its first taxation year, and therefore can qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” throughout its first taxation year. In addition, New Corporation should continue to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” for purposes of the Tax Act for taxation years beginning after 2024 having regard to the Proposed Amendments relating to “mutual fund corporations”.

To maintain its “mutual fund corporation” status, New Corporation will be required to comply with specific restrictions under the Tax Act regarding its activities and the investments held by it. New Corporation intends to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” throughout each taxation year in which the New Exchangeable Shares are outstanding and this summary assumes that will be the case. If New Corporation were to cease to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation”, material, adverse tax consequences to New Corporation and the Holders may arise.

BEPC is currently, and will continue to be, a “mutual fund corporation” for the purposes of the Tax Act until the end of its current taxation year (including at the Effective Time). For its first taxation year starting after 2024, BEPC will cease to be a “mutual fund corporation” as a consequence of the Proposed Amendments. However, it is not expected that this loss of status would give rise to material, adverse tax consequences to either the Holders or New Corporation.

This summary also relies as to certain matters on a certificate of officers of New Corporation.

This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) an interest in which would be a “tax shelter investment” or who holds units or acquires exchangeable shares or New Exchangeable Shares as a “tax shelter investment”, (ii) that is a

“financial institution” for purposes of the “mark-to-market property” rules, (iii) that reports its “Canadian tax results” in a currency other than Canadian currency, (iv) that has entered or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement” in respect of the units, exchangeable shares or New Exchangeable Shares (each as defined in the Tax Act), (v) that receives dividends on exchangeable shares or New Exchangeable Shares as part of a “dividend rental arrangement”, (vi) that is a corporation resident in Canada and is, or becomes (or does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation that is or becomes) as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the New Exchangeable Shares, controlled by a non-resident person or a group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm’s length for purposes of section 212.3 of the Tax Act, or (vii) that is exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act. Furthermore, this summary is not applicable to a Holder that is a “controlling corporation” of BEPC or New Corporation (for purposes of subsection 191(1) of the Tax Act), a person with whom the controlling corporation does not deal at arm’s length or a partnership or trust of which the controlling corporation or person with whom the controlling corporation does not deal at arm’s length is a member or beneficiary for purposes of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representation concerning the tax consequences to any particular Holder or prospective Holder are made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, prospective Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in New Exchangeable Shares having regard to their particular circumstances.

Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition or deemed disposition of an exchangeable share or a New Exchangeable Share must be expressed in Canadian currency. Amounts denominated in another currency must be converted into Canadian currency using the applicable rate of exchange (pursuant to the Tax Act) quoted by the Bank of Canada on the date such amounts arose, or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

Taxation of Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, is resident or deemed to be resident in Canada under the Tax Act (a “Resident Holder”). Certain Resident Holders may be entitled to make, or may have already made, the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act the effect of which may be to deem any exchangeable share and New Exchangeable Shares (and all other “Canadian securities”, as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holders to be capital property in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years. Resident Holders whose exchangeable share or New Exchangeable Shares might not otherwise be considered to be capital property should consult their own tax advisors concerning this election.

Disposition of Exchangeable Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement

Unless a Resident Holder (other than a Resident Dissenter (as defined below)) includes any portion of the gain or loss otherwise determined in respect of the transfer of a Resident Holder’s exchangeable shares to New Corporation in computing its income for the taxation year in which the transfer occurs, on the transfer of a Resident Holder’s exchangeable shares in exchange for New Exchangeable Shares, such Resident Holder will be deemed to have disposed of all such exchangeable shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the Resident Holder’s aggregate adjusted cost base of such exchangeable shares immediately before the share transfer. The aggregate adjusted cost base of the New Exchangeable Shares received by such Resident Holder will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base immediately before the share transfer of the exchangeable shares so transferred. Accordingly, a Resident Holder will not realize a capital gain or a capital loss as a result of such transfer.

Where a Resident Holder includes any portion of the gain or loss otherwise determined in respect of the transfer in computing its income for the taxation year in which the transfer occurs, the Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) on the exchangeable shares to the extent that the Resident Holder’s aggregate proceeds of disposition for the exchangeable shares, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the aggregate adjusted cost base of the exchangeable shares to the Resident Holder immediately before the transfer. The Resident Holder’s proceeds of disposition for the exchangeable shares will be equal to the fair market value of the exchangeable shares so transferred. The Resident Holder’s aggregate adjusted cost base of the New Exchangeable Shares received by the Resident Holder on the transfer will also be equal to that fair market value. See the section titled “Certain Canadian

Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Holders Resident in Canada—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Dissenting Resident Holders

A Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights and is entitled to be paid fair value for their exchangeable shares in accordance with the Arrangement (a “Resident Dissenter”) will be deemed to transfer their exchangeable shares to BEPC in consideration for an amount equal to the fair value of such exchangeable shares.

A Resident Dissenter who is entitled to be paid the fair value of their exchangeable shares by BEPC will be considered to have disposed of such exchangeable shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount received by the Resident Dissenter (other than any portion thereof that is interest awarded by a court). Such Resident Dissenters will realize a capital gain (or incur a capital loss) to the extent that such proceeds of disposition exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the exchangeable shares to the Resident Dissenter immediately before their transfer to BEPC pursuant to the Arrangement and the Resident Dissenter’s reasonable costs of the disposition. See the section titled “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Holders Resident in Canada—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Any interest awarded to a Resident Dissenter by a court will be included in the Resident Dissenter’s income for purposes of the Tax Act.

Dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares

Taxable dividends received on the New Exchangeable Shares by a Resident Holder will be included in computing the Resident Holder’s income.

Taxable dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares received by a Resident Holder that is an individual will be included in computing the Resident Holder’s income subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable under the Tax Act to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. Such dividends will be eligible for the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit if New Corporation designates the dividends as “eligible dividends”. There may be limitations on New Corporation’s ability to designate taxable dividends as eligible dividends.

Subject to the potential application of subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act, dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation (other than a “specified financial institution” for purposes of the Tax Act) will be included in the Resident Holder’s income and will generally be deductible by the Resident Holder in computing its taxable income. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat all or a portion of a taxable dividend received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances.

In the case of a Resident Holder that is a “specified financial institution”, taxable dividends received on the New Exchangeable Shares will be deductible in computing its taxable income only if either:

the specified financial institution did not acquire the New Exchangeable Shares in the ordinary course of its business; or

at the time of receipt of the taxable dividends by the specified financial institution,

(i)

the New Exchangeable Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX); and

(ii)

dividends are received in respect of not more than 10% of the issued and outstanding New Exchangeable Shares by

the specified financial institution; or

the specified financial institution and persons with whom it does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act).

Notwithstanding the discussion above, during the period while the New Rights Agreement is in place, the New Exchangeable Shares will be subject to the “guaranteed share” provisions of the Tax Act. In the case of a Resident Holder of New Exchangeable Shares that is a corporation in respect of which dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares will be included in the Resident Holder’s income as a taxable dividend, such taxable dividends received on the New Exchangeable Shares during such period will be deductible in computing its taxable income only if, at the time of receipt of the taxable dividends by the corporation, (a) the New Exchangeable Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” for purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX and NYSE); and (b) dividends are received in respect of not more than 10% of the issued and outstanding New Exchangeable Shares by (i) the particular corporation, (ii) persons with whom the particular corporation does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, or (iii) partnerships or trusts of which the particular corporation or persons with whom it does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, is a member or beneficiary.

Resident Holders should be aware that exchanges at the request of holders of New Exchangeable Shares may impact the percentage of New Exchangeable Shares held by such Resident Holders.

A Resident Holder of New Exchangeable Shares which is a corporation other than a “private corporation” or a “financial intermediary corporation” (each as defined in the Tax Act) will generally be subject to a 10% tax under Part IV.1 of the Tax Act in respect of any taxable dividends received by it on the New Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such taxable dividends are deductible in computing its taxable income.

A Resident Holder which is a “private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) or any other corporation controlled directly or indirectly by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals (other than trusts) may be liable to pay a refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act, generally imposed at the rate of 38 1/3%, on taxable dividends received on the New Exchangeable Shares, to the extent that such dividends are deductible in computing its taxable income. Where Part IV.1 tax also applies to a taxable dividend received by a corporation, the rate of Part IV tax payable by the corporation is reduced by the rate of Part IV.1 tax.

The amount of any dividend that New Corporation elects to pay from its “capital gains dividend account” as defined in the Tax Act (a “Capital Gains Dividend”) received by a Resident Holder of the New Exchangeable Shares from New Corporation will be considered to be a capital gain of such Holder from the disposition of capital property in the taxation year of the Resident Holder in which the Capital Gains Dividend is received.

Taxable dividends or Capital Gains Dividends paid to a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts) may give rise to a liability for alternative minimum tax.

Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the availability of a credit against their federal income tax liability or a deduction from income under the Tax Act in the event of any future U.S. federal withholding tax on dividends. For further information in this respect, see “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares”.

Redemptions, Exchanges and Other Dispositions of the New Exchangeable Shares

A Resident Holder who disposes of, or who is deemed to dispose of, a New Exchangeable Share, including a disposition to New Corporation (whether on a redemption by New Corporation, an exchange at the request of the Holder or otherwise), will realize a capital gain (or sustain a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of such share and any reasonable costs of disposition. The Resident Holder’s proceeds of disposition for the New Exchangeable Share will be equal to the fair market value of such New Exchangeable Share. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Holders Resident in Canada—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

The cost to a Resident Holder of a unit received on the exchange of a New Exchangeable Share will equal the fair market value of the New Exchangeable Share for which it was exchanged at the time of the exchange. The adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of units at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such units with the adjusted cost base of any other units owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at the time.

For a description of the Canadian federal income tax considerations of holding and disposing of units, please see Item 10.E “Taxation—Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” of the partnership’s Annual Report.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Subject to the Capital Gains Proposals (as defined below), one-half of a capital gain realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year generally must be included in income as a taxable capital gain. One-half of a capital loss realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year generally must be deducted as an “allowable capital loss” against taxable capital gains realized in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.

Proposed Amendments related to the capital gains inclusion rate (the “Capital Gains Proposals”) would increase a Resident Holder’s capital gains inclusion rate for a taxation year ending after June 24, 2024, from one-half to two-thirds, subject to a transitional rule applicable for a Resident Holder’s 2024 taxation year that would reduce the capital gains inclusion rate for that taxation year to, in effect, one-half for net capital gains realized before June 25, 2024. The Capital Gains Proposals also include provisions that would, generally, offset the increase in the capital gains inclusion rate for up to $250,000 of net capital gains realized (or deemed to be realized) by Resident Holders that are individuals (including certain trusts) in the year that are not offset by net capital losses carried back or forward from another taxation year. The Capital Gains Proposals also provide that capital losses realized prior to June 25, 2024, which are deductible against capital gains included in income for the 2024 or subsequent taxation years will offset an equivalent capital gain regardless of the inclusion rate which applied at the time such capital losses were realized. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Capital Gains Proposals.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a New Exchangeable Share may be reduced by the amount of any deductible dividends received or deemed to be received by the Resident Holder on such New Exchangeable Share to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a New Exchangeable Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, partnership or trust is a member or beneficiary. Such Resident Holders should consult their own advisors.

A taxable capital gain realized by a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts) may give rise to a liability for alternative minimum tax.

Additional Refundable Tax

A Resident Holder that is throughout its taxation year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act), or is, at any time in the taxation year, a “substantive CCPC” (as defined in the Tax Act) will be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its “aggregate investment income”, which includes an amount in respect of net taxable capital gains and interest. Resident Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Eligibility for Investment

Based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, provided that the New Exchangeable Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX and the NYSE), the New Exchangeable Shares will be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a tax-free savings account (“TFSA”), first home savings account (“FHSA”), registered disability savings plan (“RDSP”), registered retirement savings plan (“RRSP”), registered retirement income fund (“RRIF”), registered education savings plan (“RESP”), or deferred profit sharing plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of a TFSA, FHSA or RDSP, the annuitant under an RRSP or RRIF or the subscriber of an RESP, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax if such New Exchangeable Shares held in the TFSA, FHSA, RDSP, RRSP, RRIF or RESP are a “prohibited investment” (as defined in subsection 207.01(1) of the Tax Act) for the TFSA, FHSA, RDSP, RRSP, RRIF or RESP, as the case may be. Generally, the New Exchangeable Shares will not be a “prohibited investment” if the holder of the TFSA, FHSA or RDSP, the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF or the subscriber of the RESP, as applicable, deals at arm’s length with New Corporation for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a “significant interest”, as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the “prohibited investment” rules in section 207.01 of the Tax Act, in New Corporation. Any such holder, annuitant or subscriber should be aware that exchanges at the request of holders of New Exchangeable Shares may impact the percentage of total New Exchangeable Shares held by such holders, annuitants or subscribers.

Holders of TFSAs, FHSAs or RDSPs, annuitants under RRSPs or RRIFs and subscribers of RESPs should consult their own tax advisors as to whether such New Exchangeable Shares will be such a “prohibited investment”, including with respect to whether the New Exchangeable Shares would be “excluded property” for purposes of such rules in their particular circumstances.

Taxation of Holders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold the New Exchangeable Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

Disposition of Exchangeable Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on the disposition of exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement unless the exchangeable shares are “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

Generally, the exchangeable shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of a Non-Resident Holder at the time of the Arrangement provided that BEPC is a mutual fund corporation unless, at any particular time during the sixty (60)-month period that ends at that time, both of the following conditions are met concurrently: (a) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of BEPC were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the exchangeable shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of (b)(i) to (iii), whether or not the property exists. BEPC expects that, at the Effective Time, the condition in (b) will not be met such that the exchangeable shares are not expected to be “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Resident Holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, the exchangeable shares may be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.” Non-Resident Holders for whom exchangeable shares may constitute “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.

Dissenting Non-Resident Holders

A Non-Resident Holder that validly exercises Dissent Rights and is entitled to be paid fair value for their exchangeable shares in accordance with the Arrangement (a “Non-Resident Dissenter”) will be deemed to transfer such exchangeable shares to BEPC in consideration for an amount equal to the fair value of such exchangeable shares.

As discussed above under “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Holders Not Resident in Canada—Disposition of Exchangeable Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement”, a Non-Resident Dissenter will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain, or be entitled to deduct any capital loss, realized by such Non-Resident Dissenter on the disposition of exchangeable shares unless the exchangeable shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” and are not “treaty-protected property” (each as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Dissenter at the time of disposition.

Any interest paid or credited to a Non-Resident Dissenter in respect of the exercise of Dissent Rights will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax, provided that such interest is not “participating debt interest” (as defined in the Tax Act). Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares

Dividends, other than Capital Gains Dividends, paid or credited on the New Exchangeable Shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the New Exchangeable Shares to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled under any applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

The same Canadian withholding tax consequences apply to a Capital Gains Dividend to the extent of the lesser of the amount of the dividend received by the Non-Resident Holder and the Non-Resident Holder’s portion (as determined under the Tax Act) of the “TCP gains balance” (as defined in the Tax Act) of New Corporation, unless 5% or less of the dividend is received by or on behalf of shareholders each of whom is a non-resident person or is a partnership that is not a “Canadian partnership” for purposes of the Tax Act. In general, New Corporation’s “TCP gains balance” is the amount of New Corporation’s net capital gains from dispositions of “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act), minus an amount of certain dividends paid previously relating to such net capital gains. New Corporation expects that it will not dispose of any “taxable Canadian property” in circumstances that would give rise to a “TCP gains balance”. Capital Gains Dividends are otherwise not subject to Canadian withholding tax and Capital Gains Dividends received by a Non-Resident Holder will be considered to be a capital gain of the Non-Resident Holder from the disposition of capital property in the taxation year of the Non-Resident Holder in which the Capital Gains Dividend is received. The Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of such a Capital Gains Dividend.

Redemptions, Exchanges and Other Dispositions of the New Exchangeable Shares

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on a disposition or deemed disposition of New Exchangeable Shares unless the New Exchangeable Shares are “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

Generally, the New Exchangeable Shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of a Non-Resident Holder at a particular time provided that New Corporation is a mutual fund corporation unless, at any particular time during the sixty (60)-month period that ends at that time, both of the following conditions are met concurrently: (a) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of New Corporation were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the New Exchangeable Shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of (b)(i) to (iii), whether or not the property exists. New Corporation does not expect that that the condition in (b) will be met at any relevant time such that the New Exchangeable Shares are not expected to be “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Resident Holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, the New Exchangeable Shares may be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.” Non-Resident Holders for whom New Exchangeable Shares may constitute “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.

The cost to a Non-Resident Holder of a unit received on the exchange of a New Exchangeable Share will equal the fair market value of the New Exchangeable Share for which it was exchanged at the time of the exchange. The adjusted cost base to a Non-Resident Holder of units at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such units with the adjusted cost base of any other units owned by the Non-Resident Holder as capital property at the time.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) relating to the Arrangement and to the ownership and disposition of the New Exchangeable Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. This summary is based on provisions of the Code, on the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), and on published administrative rulings, judicial decisions, and other applicable authority, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. The summary assumes that U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders hold their New Exchangeable Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not address U.S. Holders that receive cash other than in U.S. dollars upon their exercise of Dissent Rights in the Arrangement. This summary should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations associated with the operations of BEP and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of BEP units set forth in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and Item 3.D “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Taxation” in BEP’s Annual Report. The following summary is limited as described in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in BEP’s Annual Report and as described herein.

This summary is necessarily general and may not apply to all categories of Shareholders, some of whom may be subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

•

persons that own (directly, indirectly or constructively, applying certain attribution rules) 10% or more of either the total voting power or total value of the stock of BEPC;

•

persons that will own (directly, indirectly or constructively, applying certain attribution rules) 5% or more of either the total voting power or total value of the stock of New Corporation immediately following the Arrangement;

•

dealers in securities or currencies;

•

financial institutions or financial services entities;

•

mutual funds;

•

life insurance companies;

•

persons that hold exchangeable shares or will hold New Exchangeable Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction with other investments;

This summary does not address the consequences to U.S. Holders who receive distributions on exchangeable shares or New Exchangeable Shares other than in U.S. dollars. The actual tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of New Exchangeable Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement will vary, depending on a holder’s individual circumstances.

Under Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, special rules may apply to a U.S. Holder that actually or constructively owns 5% or more, by vote or value, of the issued and outstanding stock of New Corporation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(a)-3(b)(1)(i) immediately after the Arrangement. Any such U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement with regard to the holder’s particular circumstances.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of exchangeable shares that is for U.S. federal tax purposes: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust (a) the primary supervision of which is subject to a court within the United States and all substantial decisions of which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of exchangeable shares, other than a U.S. Holder or an entity classified as a partnership (including for this purpose any arrangement or entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

If a partnership, including for this purpose any arrangement or entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds exchangeable shares or, upon the completion of the Arrangement, New Exchangeable Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of such partnership. Holders that are partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the partners of such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of New Exchangeable Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISERS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARRANGEMENT AND, AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE ARRANGEMENT, THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW EXCHANGEABLE SHARES WITH RESPECT TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS OTHER THAN THOSE PERTAINING TO INCOME TAX, INCLUDING ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS, OR UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS OR ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

The following discussion assumes that the Arrangement will be consummated as described in the Arrangement Agreement and this Circular.

Partnership Status of BEP and BRELP

Each of BEP and BRELP has made a protective election to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes. An entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes generally incurs no U.S. federal income tax liability. Instead, each partner of a partnership is generally required to take into account its allocable share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of such partnership in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability, regardless of whether cash distributions are made. Distributions of cash by a partnership to a partner generally are not taxable unless the amount of cash distributed to a partner is in excess of the partner’s adjusted basis in its partnership interest.

An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a “publicly traded partnership”, unless an exception applies. BEP units are publicly traded. However, an exception, referred to as the “Qualifying Income Exception”, exists with respect to a publicly

traded partnership if (i) at least 90% of such partnership’s gross income for every taxable year consists of “qualifying income” and (ii) such partnership would not be required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 if it were a U.S. corporation. Qualifying income includes certain interest income, dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property, and any gain from the sale or disposition of a capital asset or other property held for the production of income that otherwise constitutes qualifying income.

We understand that the general partner of BEP and the general partner of BRELP intend to manage the affairs of BEP and BRELP, respectively, so that BEP will meet the Qualifying Income Exception in each taxable year. Accordingly, we understand that the general partner of BEP believes that BEP will be treated as a partnership and not as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The remainder of this summary assumes that BEP and BRELP will be treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Characterization of the New Exchangeable Shares

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of the New Exchangeable Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement depend, in part, on whether the exchangeable shares and the New Exchangeable Shares are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, treated as stock of BEPC and New Corporation, respectively, and not as interests in BEP. It is the opinion of Torys LLP that, based upon the Code, Treasury Regulations, published revenue rulings, court decisions, and certain factual statements and representations made by BEPC, New Corporation, the general partners of BEP and BRELP, and Brookfield Corporation, as of the date hereof, the exchangeable shares should be treated as stock of BEPC and the New Exchangeable Shares should be treated as stock of New Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, there is no direct authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of securities similar to the exchangeable shares or the New Exchangeable Shares. An opinion of counsel with respect to an issue represents counsel’s best judgment as to the outcome on the merits with respect to such issue, is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts, and provides no assurance that the IRS will not assert a contrary position with respect to such issue or that a court would not sustain such a position if asserted by the IRS. If the exchangeable shares or the New Exchangeable Shares are not treated as stock of BEPC or New Corporation, respectively, and, in either case, are instead treated as BEP units, then the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of the New Exchangeable Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement could differ materially and adversely from the consequences described herein. Based on the foregoing opinion of Torys LLP, the remainder of this summary assumes that the exchangeable shares will be treated as stock of BEPC and the New Exchangeable Shares will be treated as stock of New Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

General

Subject to the limitations and qualifications described above under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and herein, the following discussion under the headings “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” constitutes the opinion of Torys LLP, tax counsel to BEPC and New Corporation, as to certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of New Exchangeable Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. This opinion is based upon and subject to customary assumptions, qualifications, limitations, and representations from New Corporation, BEPC, Brookfield Corporation, and the general partners of BEP and BRELP, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by the foregoing entities. Among other things, this opinion assumes the absence of relevant changes in fact or law between the date of this Circular and the dates on which the Arrangement is completed. If any of the assumptions, qualifications, limitations, representations, covenants, or undertakings is incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate, or is violated, then the validity of this opinion may be affected, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences could differ, perhaps substantially, from those described in this Circular. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment, but it does not bind the IRS or any court. Accordingly, notwithstanding this opinion, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert a position contrary to one or more of the conclusions set forth herein or that a court would not sustain such a challenge, in which case the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of exchangeable shares could differ materially and adversely from the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below.

Consequences to U.S. Holders

Exchange of Exchangeable Shares for New Exchangeable Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement

The exchange of exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (the “Share Exchange”), taken together with certain related transfers pursuant to the Arrangement, should qualify as a transfer described in Section 351 of the Code. Accordingly, subject to the discussion below regarding the receipt of exchange rights and the treatment of nonqualified preferred stock, a U.S. Holder who receives New Exchangeable Shares in the Share Exchange:

•

should not recognize gain or loss in the Share Exchange;

•

should have an aggregate tax basis in New Exchangeable Shares received in the Share Exchange equal to the aggregate tax basis of the exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor; and

•

should have a holding period for New Exchangeable Shares received in the Share Exchange that includes its holding period for its exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Share Exchange fails to qualify as a transfer described in Section 351 of the Code, then a U.S. Holder who receives New Exchangeable Shares in the Share Exchange generally would recognize capital gain or loss, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value as of the closing date of the New Exchangeable Shares received and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Share Exchange to such holder under Section 351 of the Code, in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

In addition to the above consequences, if, contrary to expectation, BEPC were classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for its exchangeable shares, then the PFIC rules generally would apply to the holder’s exchange of exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Under certain proposed Treasury Regulations, which would apply retroactively if finalized as proposed, a U.S. shareholder of stock of a PFIC generally does not recognize gain if, pursuant to certain nonrecognition transactions (which include transfers described in Section 351 of the Code), such PFIC stock is exchanged for stock of a different corporation (such as New Corporation) (i) that is treated as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the exchange or (ii) that owns directly or indirectly stock of the transferred PFIC, but only to the extent that the shareholder is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indirectly owning after the transfer at least as great an interest in the transferred PFIC (by value) as the shareholder owned before the transfer. Based on its expected income, assets, and activities, BEPC does not expect to be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year, nor does it believe that it was a PFIC for a previous taxable year. However, the PFIC determination is based on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules and depends upon the composition of a corporation’s income and assets and the nature of its activities from time to time, and Torys LLP has rendered no opinion as to BEPC’s classification under the PFIC rules or as to the application of the proposed Treasury Regulations. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the potential for the PFIC rules to apply to the Share Exchange in light of their particular circumstances.

Receipt of Exchange Rights. In certain circumstances, the exchange right component of exchangeable stock is treated as separate property other than stock. An exchange right that is not a component of exchangeable stock, such as the secondary exchange right, may also be treated as separate property. Separate property other than stock is treated as “boot” in an exchange pursuant to Section 351 of the Code. The Share Exchange is intended to be an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. However, the IRS announced in published guidance that, where an exchange right component of exchangeable stock is exercisable solely against the issuing corporation, it is not boot, but the exchange right is boot if it may be exercised against the corporation into whose stock the exchangeable stock is exchangeable. The terms of the exchange right in respect of the New Exchangeable Shares permit a holder of New Exchangeable Shares to exercise the right to exchange New Exchangeable Shares for BEP units or cash solely against New Corporation. Accordingly, based on the IRS guidance, the exchange right should not be treated as taxable “boot” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, this tax treatment is not free from doubt, because the facts relating to the exchange right differ in certain respects from the IRS guidance. The secondary exchange right, on the other hand,

is exercisable solely against Brookfield Corporation (and not BEPC or BEP). Based on this distinction, and taking into account the IRS guidance, New Corporation intends to take the position that the secondary exchange right constitutes separate property treated as taxable boot.

If the Share Exchange, taken together with certain related transfers, qualifies as a transfer described in Section 351 of the Code, and the exchange rights and secondary exchange rights are treated as taxable boot (and the New Exchangeable Shares are not treated as nonqualified preferred stock, as discussed below), then a U.S. Holder that exchanges exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares generally would recognize any gain to the extent of the fair market value of the exchange rights in the Share Exchange, but no loss would be permitted to be recognized. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Corporation believes that both the exchange rights and the secondary exchange rights received by U.S. Holders pursuant to the Share Exchange will have only nominal value and, therefore, that their receipt will not result in any material U.S. federal income tax consequences, regardless of whether such rights constitute taxable boot. It is possible, however, that the IRS could take the position that the exchange rights or the secondary exchange rights constitute boot with greater than nominal value, and that a court would sustain such an IRS challenge. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving exchange rights and secondary exchange rights pursuant to the Share Exchange.

Nonqualified Preferred Stock. Even if the Share Exchange qualifies as a transfer described in Section 351 of the Code, if the New Exchangeable Shares are deemed to constitute “nonqualified preferred stock” under Section 351(g) of the Code, then the receipt of New Exchangeable Shares in the Share Exchange generally should be fully taxable to a U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such case, a U.S. Holder generally should recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time of the Share Exchange. Such gain or loss generally should equal the difference between (i) the fair market value of the New Exchangeable Shares received and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor. This gain or loss generally should be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective time of the Share Exchange, the holding period for the surrendered exchangeable shares is more than one year. If a U.S. Holder purchased blocks of exchangeable shares in different transactions, then the holder must calculate gain or loss separately for each block of shares.

Nonqualified preferred stock generally includes preferred stock if the holder of such stock has the right, exercisable within the 20-year period beginning on the issue date, to require the issuer or a related person to redeem or purchase the stock. Since holders of New Exchangeable Shares have the right to require New Corporation to redeem the New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for BEP units or their cash equivalent, the question of whether the New Exchangeable Shares are nonqualified preferred stock turns upon whether the New Exchangeable Shares will be considered preferred stock. Preferred stock for this purpose is stock which is limited and preferred as to dividends and does not participate in corporate growth to any significant extent. The legislative history of Section 351 of the Code provides that stock that is convertible or exchangeable into stock of a corporation other than the issuer (including, for example, stock of a parent corporation or other related corporation) is not considered to be stock that participates in corporate growth to any significant extent. It is not entirely clear whether the intent of this statement is that stock with such an exchange privilege is not considered to participate in corporate growth, or simply that this exchange feature is not taken into account in determining whether the stock participates in corporate growth.

There is no direct authority interpreting what type of stock is considered limited and preferred as to dividends and does not participate in corporate growth to any significant extent within the meaning of Section 351(g). Certain features of the New Exchangeable Shares, however, support a determination that the New Exchangeable Shares are not preferred stock. Specifically, it is expected that dividends on the New Exchangeable Shares will be declared and paid at the same time as distributions are declared and paid on the BEP units, to provide holders of New Exchangeable Shares with an economic return equivalent to the economic return on BEP units. Such distributions on BEP units are expected to be based to a significant extent on distributions BEP receives indirectly with respect to equity interests in the Holding Entities, as well as BEPC. As a result of these indirect distributions, and taking into account the expected equivalence of distributions on New Exchangeable Shares and distributions on BEP units, as well as the value of BEPC in proportion to the value of BEP, the New Exchangeable Shares may be considered to participate in New Corporation’s corporate growth to a significant extent by reason of the common investment by New Corporation and BEP (indirectly through affiliates) in BEPC. Nor should the New Exchangeable Shares more generally be treated as limited and preferred as to dividends within the meaning of Section 351(g), because the terms of the New Exchangeable Shares impose no limit on the amount of dividends declared, other than to limit such amount to the

corresponding distributions declared and paid on an equal number of BEP units, the value of which can be expected to reflect the growth of our group as a whole.

Based on the foregoing facts and circumstances, and taking into account certain factual statements and representations made by New Corporation, BEPC, the general partners of BEP and BRELP, and Brookfield Corporation, as of the date hereof, it is the opinion of Torys LLP that the New Exchangeable Shares should not be treated as nonqualified preferred stock within the meaning of Section 351(g) of the Code. However, there is no direct authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of securities similar to the New Exchangeable Shares. An opinion of counsel with respect to an issue represents counsel’s best judgment as to the outcome on the merits with respect to such issue, does not bind the IRS or the courts, and provides no assurance that the IRS will not assert a contrary position or that a court would not sustain such a position if asserted by the IRS. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the potential for the New Exchangeable Shares to be treated as nonqualified preferred stock.

U.S. Holders Exercising Dissent Rights Pursuant to the Arrangement

A U.S. Holder that exercises Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement and is paid cash in exchange for all of its exchangeable shares generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash received by the holder in exchange for exchangeable shares (other than amounts, if any, that are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which amounts will be taxable as ordinary income) and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such exchangeable shares surrendered. Subject to the potential application of the rules described below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” with respect to BEPC, such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for the exchangeable shares exceeds one year at the time of the completion of the Arrangement. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares

Taxation of Distributions. Subject to the discussion below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”, the gross amount of a distribution paid to a U.S. Holder with respect to New Exchangeable Shares (including amounts withheld to pay Canadian withholding taxes) will be included in the holder’s gross income as a dividend to the extent paid out of New Corporation’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent that the amount of a distribution exceeds New Corporation’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its New Exchangeable Shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the holder’s tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain.

Dividends received by individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders with respect to New Exchangeable Shares readily tradable on the NYSE generally will be subject to tax at preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that such holders meet certain holding period and other requirements and New Corporation is not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or for the preceding taxable year. Dividends on New Exchangeable Shares generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the application of the relevant rules in light of such holder’s particular circumstances.

Dividends paid by New Corporation generally will constitute foreign-source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. A U.S. Holder may be entitled to deduct or credit any Canadian withholding taxes on dividends in determining its U.S. income tax liability, subject to certain limitations (including that the election to deduct or credit foreign taxes applies to all of the U.S. Holder’s foreign taxes for a particular tax year). The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. Dividends distributed by New Corporation with respect to New Exchangeable Shares generally will constitute “passive category income”. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit with respect to such holder’s particular circumstances.

Sale, Redemption, Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares. Subject to the discussion below under the headings “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Exercise of the BEP Call Right” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale, redemption, exchange at the request of the holder (other than a redemption or exchange that is treated as a distribution, as discussed below), or other taxable disposition of the New Exchangeable Shares equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Exchangeable Shares so disposed. The amount realized will equal the amount of cash, if any, plus the fair market value of any property (such as BEP units) received. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for the New Exchangeable Shares exceeds one year at the time of disposition. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences described in the preceding paragraph should also apply to a U.S. Holder (i) whose exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of cash or BEP units by Brookfield Corporation pursuant to the New Rights Agreement, or (ii) whose exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of cash by BEP pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right (as defined below). For the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder whose exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of BEP units pursuant to BEP’s exercise of the BEP Call Right, see the discussion below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Exercise of the BEP Call Right”. The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder whose exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of cash or BEP units by New Corporation are described in the following paragraph.

A redemption or exchange of a U.S. Holder’s New Exchangeable Shares satisfied by New Corporation will be treated as a sale or exchange as described above if such redemption or exchange is (i) in “complete redemption” of the U.S. Holder’s equity interest in New Corporation (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(3) of the Code), (ii) a “substantially disproportionate” redemption of stock (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(2) of the Code), or (iii) “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(1) of the Code). In determining whether any of these tests has been met with respect to the redemption or exchange of the New Exchangeable Shares, each U.S. Holder may be required to take into account not only the New Exchangeable Shares and other equity interests in New Corporation actually owned by the holder, but also other equity interests in New Corporation that are constructively owned by the holder within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code. If a U.S. Holder owns (actually or constructively) only an insubstantial percentage of the total equity interests in New Corporation and exercises no control over New Corporation’s corporate affairs, the holder may be entitled to sale or exchange treatment on a redemption or exchange of the New Exchangeable Shares if the holder experiences a reduction in its equity interest in New Corporation (taking into account any constructively owned equity interests) as a result of the redemption or exchange. If a U.S. Holder meets none of the alternative tests of Section 302(b) of the Code, the redemption or exchange will be treated as a distribution subject to the rules described above under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Taxation of Distributions”. The amount of the distribution will be equal to the amount of cash, if any, and the fair market value of property received (such as BEP units). Because the determination as to whether any of the alternative tests of Section 302(b) of the Code is satisfied with respect to any particular holder of New Exchangeable Shares will depend upon the facts and circumstances as of the time the determination is made, each U.S. Holder should consult its tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of a redemption or exchange, including the calculation of the holder’s tax basis in any remaining New Exchangeable Shares in the event of a redemption or exchange that is treated as a distribution.

Exercise of the BEP Call Right. BEP has the right to acquire New Exchangeable Shares directly from a holder thereof under certain circumstances in exchange for BEP units or cash (the “BEP Call Right”). For the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the exchange of New Exchangeable Shares for cash pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right, see the discussion above under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Sale, Redemption, Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares”.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the exchange of New Exchangeable Shares for BEP units pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right will depend in part on whether the exchange qualifies as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code. For the exchange to so qualify, BEP (i) must be classified as a partnership and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) must not be treated as an investment company for purposes of Section 721(b) of the Code. With respect to the classification of BEP as a partnership, see the discussion above under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Partnership Status of BEP and BRELP”.

Section 721(b) of the Code provides that Section 721(a) of the Code will not apply to gain realized on a transfer of property to a partnership that would be treated as an investment company (within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code) if such partnership were incorporated. Under Section 351 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, a transfer of property will be considered a transfer to an investment company only if (i) the transfer results, directly or indirectly, in “diversification” of the transferor’s interests, and (ii) the transferee is a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust, or a corporation more than 80% of the value of whose assets are held for investment and (subject to certain exclusions) are stock or securities, as defined in Section 351(e) of the Code. For purposes of this determination, the stock and securities of a corporate subsidiary are disregarded, and the parent corporation is treated as owning its ratable share of the subsidiary’s assets if the parent corporation owns 50% or more of the subsidiary corporation’s stock by voting power or value. The Treasury Regulations also provide that whether an entity is an investment company ordinarily will be determined by reference to the circumstances in existence immediately after the transfer in question. However, where circumstances change thereafter pursuant to a plan in existence at the time of the transfer, this determination will be made by reference to the later circumstances.

Based on the shareholders’ rights in the event of the liquidation or dissolution of New Corporation (or BEP) and the terms of the New Exchangeable Shares, which are intended to provide an economic return equivalent to the economic return on BEP units (including identical distributions), and taking into account the expected relative values of BEP’s assets and its ratable share of the assets of its subsidiaries for the foreseeable future, we understand that the general partner of BEP currently does not expect a U.S. Holder’s transfer of New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for BEP units pursuant to BEP’s exercise of the BEP Call Right to be treated as a transfer of property to an investment company within the meaning of Section 721(b) of the Code. Thus, we understand that the general partner of BEP currently expects such exchange to qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code. However, no definitive determination can be made as to whether any such future exchange will qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, as this will depend on the facts and circumstances at the time of the exchange. Many of these facts and circumstances are not within the control of BEP, and no assurance can be provided as to the position, if any, taken by the general partner of BEP with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any such exchange. Nor can any assurance be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any future position taken by BEP. In addition, based on the highly factual nature of such future exchange, and taking into account that many of the relevant facts and circumstances are not within the control of BEP, Torys LLP has rendered no opinion with respect to whether any such future exchange of New Exchangeable Shares for BEP units pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right will qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code. If BEP were an investment company immediately following the exchange of New Exchangeable Shares for BEP units pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right, and such exchange were to result in diversification of interests with respect to a U.S. Holder, then Section 721(a) of the Code would not apply with respect to the holder, and the holder would be treated as if the holder had sold its New Exchangeable Shares to BEP in a taxable transaction for cash in an amount equal to the value of the BEP units received.

Even if a U.S. Holder’s transfer of New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for BEP units pursuant to BEP’s exercise of the BEP Call Right qualifies as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules that may result in the recognition of additional taxable gain or income. Under Section 704(c)(1) of the Code, if appreciated property is contributed to a partnership, the contributing partner must recognize any gain that was realized but not recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the property at the time of the contribution (referred to as “built-in gain”) if such partnership sells such property (or otherwise transfers such property in a taxable exchange) at any time thereafter or distributes such property to another partner within seven years of the contribution in a transaction that does not otherwise result in the recognition of built-in gain by such partnership. If Section 704(c)(1) of the Code applies with respect to a U.S. Holder, and the holder fails to disclose to BEP its basis in New Exchangeable

Shares exchanged for BEP units pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right, then, solely for the purpose of allocating items of income, gain, loss, or deduction under Section 704(c) of the Code, we understand that the general partner of BEP intends to use a reasonable method to estimate the holder’s basis in the New Exchangeable Shares exchanged for BEP units pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right. To ensure compliance with Section 704(c) of the Code, such estimated basis could be lower than a U.S. Holder’s actual basis in its New Exchangeable Shares. As a result, the amount of gain reported by BEP to the IRS with respect to such U.S. Holder in connection with such subsequent transfers could be greater than the correct amount. Torys LLP has rendered no opinion with respect to whether the method used by the general partner of BEP to estimate a holder’s basis in New Exchangeable Shares exchanged for BEP units pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right is reasonable.

If Section 704(c)(1) does not apply as a result of any such subsequent transfers by BEP or BRELP of New Exchangeable Shares transferred by a U.S. Holder for BEP units in an exchange qualifying as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, then the U.S. Holder could, nonetheless, be required to recognize part or all of the built-in gain in its New Exchangeable Shares deferred as a result of such exchange under other provisions of the Code. Under Section 737 of the Code, the U.S. Holder could be required to recognize built-in gain if BEP were to distribute any BEP property other than money (or, in certain circumstances, New Exchangeable Shares) to the former holder of New Exchangeable Shares within seven years of exercise of the BEP Call Right. Under Section 707(a) of the Code, the U.S. Holder could also be required to recognize built-in gain in certain circumstances. Section 707(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder create a presumption that any distributions of cash or other property made by a partnership to a partner that contributed property within two years of the distribution will be treated as a payment in consideration for the property otherwise treated as contributed to such partnership in exchange for a partnership interest, with certain limited exceptions, including an exception for “operating cash flow distributions”. For this purpose, an “operating cash flow distribution” generally is any distribution, including, but not limited to, a complete or partial redemption distribution, that does not exceed the product of the “net cash flow from operations” (as defined in the applicable Treasury Regulations) of the applicable partnership for the year multiplied by the lesser of the partner’s percentage interest in overall partnership profits for that year or the partner’s percentage interest in overall partnership profits for the life of such partnership. If a distribution to a U.S. Holder within two years of the transfer of New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for BEP units is treated as part of a deemed sale transaction under Section 707(a) of the Code, the U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of the property received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Exchangeable Shares deemed to have been sold. Such gain or loss will be recognized in the year of the transfer of New Exchangeable Shares in exchange for BEP units, and, if the U.S. Holder has already filed a tax return for such year, the holder may be required to file an amended return. In such a case, the U.S. Holder may also be required to report some amount of imputed interest income.

If Section 721(a) of the Code applies to a U.S. Holder’s exchange of New Exchangeable Shares for BEP units pursuant to the exercise of the BEP Call Right by BEP and none of the special provisions of the Code described in the two preceding paragraphs applies, then the U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss with respect to New Exchangeable Shares treated as contributed to BEP in exchange for BEP units, except as described below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”. The aggregate tax basis of the BEP units received by the U.S. Holder pursuant to the BEP Call Right would be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the New Exchangeable Shares (or single undivided portion thereof) exchanged therefor, increased by the holder’s share of BEP’s liabilities, if any. The holding period of the BEP units received in exchange for New Exchangeable Shares would include the holding period of the New Exchangeable Shares surrendered in exchange therefor. A U.S. Holder that acquires different blocks of New Exchangeable Shares at different times or different prices is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the manner in which gain or loss should be determined in the holder’s particular circumstances, as well as the holder’s holding period in BEP units received in exchange for New Exchangeable Shares.

For a general discussion of the tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of owning and disposing of BEP units received in exchange for New Exchangeable Shares, see the discussion in Item 10.E “Taxation—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in BEP’s Annual Report. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchanging New Exchangeable Shares for BEP units are complex, and each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding such consequences in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations. Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder if New Corporation is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which the U.S. Holder holds New Exchangeable Shares. A non-U.S. corporation, such as New Corporation, will be classified as a PFIC for

U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income, and net foreign currency gains.

Based on its expected income, assets, and activities, New Corporation does not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether New Corporation is or will be a PFIC must be made annually as of the close of each taxable year. Because PFIC status depends upon the composition of New Corporation’s income and assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that New Corporation will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year, or that the IRS or a court will agree with New Corporation’s determination as to its PFIC status.

Subject to certain elections described below, if New Corporation were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held New Exchangeable Shares, then gain recognized by such U.S. Holder upon the sale or other taxable disposition of the New Exchangeable Shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Exchangeable Shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other taxable disposition and to any year before New Corporation became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax on such amount. Further, to the extent that any distribution received by a U.S. Holder on its New Exchangeable Shares were to exceed 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the New Exchangeable Shares received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, that distribution would be subject to taxation in the same manner as gain, described immediately above. Similar rules would apply with respect to any lower-tier PFICs treated as owned indirectly by a U.S. Holder through such holder’s ownership of New Exchangeable Shares.

Certain elections may be available to U.S. Holders to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences resulting from PFIC treatment. If a U.S. Holder were to make an election to treat such holder’s interest in New Corporation as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF Election”) for the first year the holder were treated as holding such interest, then in lieu of the tax consequences described in the paragraph immediately above, the U.S. Holder would be required to include in income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of New Corporation, even if not distributed to the holder. A QEF Election must be made by a U.S. Holder on an entity-by-entity basis. To make a QEF Election, a U.S. Holder must, among other things, (i) obtain a PFIC annual information statement from New Corporation and (ii) prepare and submit IRS Form 8621 with the holder’s annual income tax return. To the extent reasonably practicable, New Corporation intends to make available information related to the PFIC status of New Corporation and any other subsidiary of New Corporation that New Corporation is able to identify as a PFIC with respect to U.S. Holders, including information necessary to make a QEF Election with respect to each such entity.

In the case of a PFIC that is a publicly traded foreign company, and in lieu of making a QEF Election, an election may be made to “mark to market” the stock of such publicly traded foreign company on an annual basis. Pursuant to such an election, a U.S. Holder would include in each year as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such stock over its adjusted basis at the end of the taxable year. No assurance can be provided that New Corporation or any of its subsidiaries will qualify as PFICs that are publicly traded or that a mark-to-market election will be available for any such entity.

Subject to certain exceptions, a U.S. person that directly or indirectly owns an interest in a PFIC generally is required to file an annual report with the IRS, and the failure to file such report could result in the imposition of penalties on the U.S. person and in the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to federal income tax returns filed by the U.S. person. The application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders is uncertain in certain respects. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the application of the PFIC rules, including the foregoing filing requirements and the advisability of making any available election under the PFIC rules, with respect to the holder’s ownership and disposition of New Exchangeable Shares.

Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

Exchange of Exchangeable Shares for New Exchangeable Shares and Exercise of Dissent Rights Pursuant to the Arrangement

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the exchange of exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement or upon the receipt of cash as a result of the Non-U.S. Holder’s exercise of Dissent Rights. Each Non-U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Ownership and Disposition of New Exchangeable Shares

Distributions on New Exchangeable Shares made to Non-U.S. Holders and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of New Exchangeable Shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, except that U.S. withholding tax may apply to any portion of a distribution made on New Exchangeable Shares that is treated as a deemed dividend under Section 871(m) of the Code. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax generally applies to deemed dividend amounts (“dividend equivalents”) with respect to certain contractual arrangements held by non-U.S. persons which reference any interest in an entity if that interest could give rise to a U.S.-source dividend. Under Treasury Regulations, a Section 871(m) transaction is treated as directly referencing the assets of a partnership that holds significant investments in certain securities (such as stock of a U.S. corporation). BEP indirectly holds stock of a U.S. corporation through BRELP, and the New Exchangeable Shares are intended to be structured so that distributions are identical to distributions on BEP units. Accordingly, the contractual arrangements relating to the New Exchangeable Shares could be subject to Section 871(m) of the Code, as discussed below.

Whether U.S. withholding tax applies with respect to a Section 871(m) transaction depends, in part, on whether it is classified for purposes of Section 871(m) of the Code as a “simple” contract or “complex” contract. No direct authority addresses whether the contractual arrangements relating to the New Exchangeable Shares constitute a simple contract or a complex contract. In the absence of direct authority, Torys LLP has rendered no opinion regarding the classification of the contractual arrangement relating to the New Exchangeable Shares as a simple contract or a complex contract for purposes of Section 871(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. New Corporation intends to take the position and believes that such contractual arrangements do not constitute a simple contract. In such case, under Treasury Regulations, as modified by an IRS Notice, such contractual arrangements should not be subject to Section 871(m) of the Code before January 1, 2027, and no portion of a distribution made on New Exchangeable Shares before such date should be subject to U.S. withholding tax by reason of treatment as a dividend equivalent under Section 871(m) of the Code. For distributions made on New Exchangeable Shares on or after January 1, 2027, Section 871(m) of the Code will apply if the contractual arrangements relating to the New Exchangeable Shares meet a “substantial equivalence” test. If this is the case, New Corporation expects to withhold U.S. federal income tax, generally at a rate of 30%, on any portion of a distribution on New Exchangeable Shares that is treated as a dividend equivalent and paid on or after January 1, 2027.

This 30% withholding tax may be reduced or eliminated under the Code or an applicable income tax treaty, provided that the Non-U.S. Holder properly certifies its eligibility by providing an IRS Form W-8. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, New Corporation is unable to accurately or timely determine the tax status of a Non-U.S. Holder for purposes of establishing whether reduced rates of withholding apply, then U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% may apply to any portion of a distribution on New Exchangeable Shares that is treated as a dividend equivalent under Section 871(m) of the Code. A dividend equivalent may also be subject to a 30% withholding tax under FATCA, unless a Non-U.S. Holder properly certifies its FATCA status on IRS Form W-8 or other applicable form and satisfies any additional requirements under FATCA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Corporation’s position that the contractual arrangements relating to the New Exchangeable Shares do not constitute a simple contract does not bind the IRS. The Treasury Regulations under Section 871(m) of the Code require complex determinations with respect to contractual arrangements linked to U.S. equities, and the application of these regulations to the New Exchangeable Shares is uncertain. Accordingly, the IRS could challenge New Corporation’s position and assert that the contractual arrangements relating to the New Exchangeable Shares constitute a simple contract, in which case U.S. withholding tax currently would apply, generally

at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction or elimination under the Code or an applicable income tax treaty), to that portion, if any, of a distribution on New Exchangeable Shares that is treated as referencing a U.S.-source dividend paid to BEP or BRELP. Each Non-U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the implications of Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA for the ownership of New Exchangeable Shares with respect to such holder’s particular circumstances.

Special rules may apply to any Non-U.S. Holder (i) that has an office or fixed place of business in the United States; (ii) that is present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year; (iii) that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as engaged in a trade or business within the United States; or (iv) that is a (a) a former citizen or long-term resident of the United States, (b) a foreign insurance company that is treated as holding an interest in New Corporation in connection with its U.S. business, (c) a PFIC, (d) a “controlled foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (e) a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax. Each Non-U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the application of these special rules.

Information Reporting, Backup Withholding, and Other Reporting Requirements

U.S. Holders generally will be subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding on any cash payments received as a result of the exercise of Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement.

Distributions on New Exchangeable Shares made to a U.S. Holder and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of New Exchangeable Shares generally will be subject to information reporting and may, under certain circumstances, be subject to backup withholding, unless the holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or, in the case of backup withholding, furnishes its taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and generally will be allowed as a refund or credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Certain U.S. Holders generally will be required to report information relating to an interest in the New Exchangeable Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their U.S. federal income tax returns. Significant penalties may apply for the failure to satisfy these reporting obligations. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to the holder’s ownership and disposition of New Exchangeable Shares.

Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. information reporting or backup withholding. However, Non-U.S. Holders may be required to certify their non-U.S. status (on an applicable IRS Form W-8) in connection with payments received in the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. THE TAX MATTERS RELATING TO HOLDERS OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES AND NEW EXCHANGEABLE SHARES ARE COMPLEX AND ARE SUBJECT TO VARYING INTERPRETATIONS. MOREOVER, THE EFFECT OF EXISTING INCOME TAX LAWS, THE MEANING AND IMPACT OF WHICH IS UNCERTAIN, AND OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN INCOME TAX LAWS WILL VARY WITH THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH HOLDER, AND IN REVIEWING THIS CIRCULAR THESE MATTERS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. EACH SHAREHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISER REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARRANGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors. As each New Exchangeable Share will have substantially the same terms as our exchangeable shares, and New Corporation will carry on its business through our company, you should also carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from our company’s Annual Report and our company’s Q2 2024 MD&A, and the other information incorporated by reference in this Circular, as updated by our subsequent filings with securities regulatory authorities in Canada, which are incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, as each New Exchangeable Share has been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one unit, you should carefully consider the risk factors applicable to Brookfield Renewable’s business and an investment in units, which are incorporated by reference from the partnership’s Annual Report. For additional information regarding Brookfield Renewable, see “Information Concerning the Partnership”, “Documents Incorporated by Reference” and “Other Information”.

Risks Relating to the Arrangement

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent and required approvals

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, some of which are outside of the control of our company, including receipt of the Final Order. At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider whether to approve the Arrangement based on the applicable legal requirements and the evidence before the Court. Other conditions precedent which are outside of the control of our company include, without limitation, the required shareholder approvals and the approval of the TSX and NYSE. There can be no certainty, nor can our company provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived or that the Arrangement will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. If the Arrangement is delayed or not completed, the market price of the exchangeable shares may be materially adversely affected.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances, including in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, in which case the Arrangement will not be completed. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can our company provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated prior to the completion of the Arrangement.

The failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact our company

Failure to complete the Arrangement for any reason could negatively impact the market price of the exchangeable shares, and our company will remain liable for costs relating to the proposed Arrangement.

Risks Relating to the New Corporation

The New Corporation is a holding entity and will rely on our company to provide the New Corporation with the funds necessary to pay distributions and meet its financial obligations

The New Corporation is a holding entity and its sole material asset will be the class A.1 exchangeable of shares of our company through which the New Corporation’s principal investments will be held. The New Corporation will have no independent means of generating revenue. As a result, the New Corporation will depend on distributions and other payments from our company to provide the New Corporation with the funds necessary to pay distributions on the New Exchangeable Shares and to meet its financial obligations. Our company is legally distinct from the New Corporation and it may become restricted in its ability to pay dividends and distributions or otherwise make funds available to the New Corporation pursuant to applicable laws, regulatory requirements and contractual agreements. Any other entities through which the New Corporation may conduct operations in the future will also be legally distinct from the New Corporation and may be similarly restricted in their ability to pay dividends and distributions or otherwise make funds available to the New Corporation under certain conditions. Our company will generally be required to service any

debt obligations that may arise before making distributions to the New Corporation, thereby reducing the amount of the New Corporation’s cash flow available to pay distributions, fund working capital and satisfy other needs.

The New Corporation is a newly formed company with no separate operating history and the historical and pro forma financial information included herein does not reflect the financial condition or income (loss) we would have achieved during the periods presented, and therefore may not be a reliable indicator of our future financial performance. The New Corporation was formed in October 2024 and has only recently commenced activities and has not generated any significant net income to date. Our lack of operating history will make it difficult to assess our ability to operate profitably and make distributions to shareholders. Although our business has been under Brookfield Renewable and our company’s control prior to the formation of the New Corporation, its results have not previously been reported on a stand-alone basis and, therefore, may not be indicative of our future financial condition or income (loss). We urge you to carefully consider the basis on which the historical and pro forma financial information included herein was prepared and presented.

Risks Relating to the New Exchangeable Shares

The New Exchangeable Shares have never been publicly traded and an active and liquid trading market for our New Exchangeable Shares may not develop

Prior to the Arrangement, there has not been a market for our New Exchangeable Shares. We have applied to have our New Exchangeable Shares listed on the NYSE and the TSX under the symbol “BEPC”. Listing is subject to the approval of the NYSE and the TSX in accordance with their respective listing requirements. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the New Exchangeable Shares. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development of an active and liquid trading market for our New Exchangeable Shares or, if such a market develops, whether it will be maintained. We cannot predict the effects on the price of our New Exchangeable Shares if a liquid and active trading market for our New Exchangeable Shares does not develop. In addition, if such a market does not develop, relatively small sales of our New Exchangeable Shares may have a significant negative impact on the price of our New Exchangeable Shares. A number of factors, principally factors relating to the New Corporation but also including factors specific to Brookfield Renewable and our company’s business, financial condition and liquidity, economic and financial market conditions, interest rates, availability of capital and financing sources, volatility levels and other factors could lead to a decline in the value of New Exchangeable Shares and a lack of liquidity in any market for New Exchangeable Shares.

The New Rights Agreement may terminate on July 30, 2027

The New Rights Agreement will terminate on July 30, 2027 (and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of two years, unless Brookfield provides the rights agent with written notice of termination in accordance with the terms of the New Rights Agreement), unless otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. After such date, holders of New Exchangeable Shares will no longer have the benefit of the protections provided for by the New Rights Agreement and will be reliant solely on the rights provided for in our company’s articles. In the event that New Corporation or the partnership fails to satisfy a request for exchange after the expiry of the New Rights Agreement, a tendering holder will not be entitled to rely on the secondary exchange rights.

Risks Relating to Taxation

United States

If the New Exchangeable Shares are treated as “nonqualified preferred stock” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders receiving New Exchangeable Shares may recognize taxable gain.

The exchange of exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, taken together with certain related transfers, is expected to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, generally with no gain or loss recognition to U.S. Holders. However, even if such exchange qualifies as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, a U.S. Holder would be required to recognize the full amount of gain realized upon the exchange if the New Exchangeable Shares constitute “nonqualified preferred stock” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Based on the facts and circumstances, including the structure of our group and the manner in which distributions on New Exchangeable Shares are determined, and taking into account certain factual statements and representations made by New Corporation, BEPC, the general partner of BEP, the general partner of BRELP, and Brookfield Corporation, as of the date hereof, it is the opinion of Torys LLP that the New Exchangeable Shares should not be treated as nonqualified preferred stock within the meaning of Section 351(g) of the Code. However, there is no direct authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of securities similar to the New Exchangeable Shares. An opinion of counsel does not bind the IRS or the courts, and it provides no assurance that the IRS will not assert a contrary position or that a court would not sustain such a position if asserted by the IRS. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the potential for the New Exchangeable Shares to be treated as nonqualified preferred stock.

For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. Holders of the exchange of exchangeable shares for New Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, see “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders” above. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement are complex, and each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the foregoing considerations in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Canada

Canadian federal income tax considerations described herein may be materially and adversely impacted by certain events.

If New Corporation does not qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” under the Tax Act, the income tax considerations described under the heading “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” would be materially and adversely different in certain respects.

In general, there can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws respecting the treatment of mutual fund corporations or otherwise respecting the treatment of New Corporation will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects the shareholders of New Corporation, or that such tax laws will not be administered in a way that is less advantageous to New Corporation or its shareholders.

How will my exchangeable shares be voted if I give my proxy?

The persons named on the form of proxy must vote your exchangeable shares for or against or withhold from voting, in accordance with your directions, or you can let your proxyholder decide for you. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your exchangeable shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of voting directions, proxies received by management will be voted in favour of the Arrangement Resolution put before shareholders at the Meeting. See “Business of the Meeting” on page 29 of this Circular for further information.

What if amendments are made to these matters or if other matters are brought before the Meeting?

The persons named on the proxy will have discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.

As at the date of this Circular, management of our company is not aware of any amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons named on the form of proxy will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment.

Who counts the votes?

Our company’s transfer agent, Computershare, counts and tabulates the proxies.

How do I contact the transfer agent?

If my exchangeable shares are not registered in my name but are held in the name of an Intermediary, how do I vote my shares?

In many cases, exchangeable shares that are beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either:

•

in the name of an Intermediary or a trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or

•

in the name of a depository, such as CDS or DTC, of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Your Intermediary is required to send you a voting instruction form for the number of exchangeable shares you beneficially own.

Since our company has limited access to the names of its Non-Registered Shareholders, if you attend the virtual Meeting, our company may have no record of your shareholdings or of your entitlement to vote unless your Intermediary has appointed you as proxyholder. Therefore, if you wish to vote by online ballot at the Meeting, you will need to complete the following steps:

•

Step 1: Insert your name in the space provided on the voting instruction form and return it by following the instructions provided therein.

•

Step 2: You must complete the additional step of registering yourself (or your appointees other than if your appointees are the Management Representatives) as the proxyholder with Computershare at www.computershare.com/BEPC no later than the Proxy Deadline and providing Computershare with your name and email address or the name and email address of your appointee. Computershare will provide you or your appointee with a username which will allow you or your appointee to log in to and vote at the Meeting.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder located in the United States and you wish to appoint yourself as a proxyholder, in addition to the steps above, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary. To do so, please follow these steps:

•

Step 1: Follow the instructions from your Intermediary included with the legal proxy form and the voting information form sent to you or contact your Intermediary to request a legal proxy form or a legal proxy if you have not received one.

•

Step 2: After you receive a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary, you must then submit the legal proxy to Computershare. You can send the legal proxy by e-mail or by courier to: uslegalproxy@computershare.com (if by e-mail), or Computershare Investor Services Inc., Attention: Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8^th Floor Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, Canada (if by courier). The legal proxy in both cases must be labeled “Legal Proxy” and received no later than the Proxy Deadline.

•

Step 3: Computershare will provide duly appointed proxyholders with a username by e-mail after the voting deadline has passed. Please note that you are also required to register your appointment as a proxyholder at www.computershare.com/BEPC as noted above.

Failing to register online as a proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number, which is required to vote at the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote at the Meeting but will be able to participate as a guest.

A Non-Registered Shareholder who does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting and wishes to vote prior to the Meeting must complete and sign the voting instruction form and return it in accordance with the directions on the form.

Our company has distributed the Notice Package to Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice Package to Non-Registered Shareholders.

Non-Registered Shareholders who have not opted for electronic delivery will receive a voting instruction form to permit them to direct the voting of the exchangeable shares they beneficially own. Non-Registered Shareholders should follow the instructions on the forms they receive and contact their Intermediaries promptly if they need assistance.

Notice of Exchange

1.13. A Class A.1 Shareholder must deliver a Notice of Exchange either electronically (by electronic mail or by any other electronic procedure that may be established by the Transfer Agent and communicated to the Class A.1 Shareholders by the Company or the Transfer Agent) or physically (by mail, courier, hand delivery or otherwise) to any office of the Transfer Agent prior to the issuance by the Company of a Notice of Class A.1 Redemption or the announcement of a Liquidation Event in order to exercise his, her or its Exchange Right.

Where there is more than one Tendering Class A.1 Shareholder, the Company will redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A.1 Shares that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions among such Tendering Class A.1 Shareholders on a pro rata basis.

No Fractional BEP Units

1.17. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fractional BEP Units shall be issued in connection with the satisfaction of Exchange Rights, in connection with a redemption of a Class A.1 Share or in connection with a Liquidation Event.

Subject to applicable Law, the Ownership Cap and due exercise by BEP or BEPC of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, at any time from and after the date of the issuance of the Class A.2 Shares, each Class A.2 Shareholder shall have an Exchange Right which may be exercised by delivering Notice of Exchange to the Transfer Agent by or on behalf of such Class

B-49

A.2 Shareholder (such Class A.2 Shares specified in the Notice of Exchange being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Class A.2 Shares” and such Class A.2 Shareholder, the “Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder”) for (a) the BEP Units Amount per Tendered Class A.2 Share, (b) one BEPC Class A Share per Class A.2 Share multiplied by the Conversion Factor or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of the BEPC Class A Share as at the date of receipt of a Notice of Exchange (or if such date is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) in respect of the Class A.2 Shares (“BEPC Class A Share Amount”) (either the BEP Units Amount or the BEPC Class A Share Amount being the “Class A.2 Share Consideration”) or (c) if the Company elects in its sole and absolute discretion, the Cash Amount (in lieu of the Class A.2 Share Consideration per Tendered Class A.2 Share), plus, in all cases, a cash amount equal to any Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends per Tendered Class A.2 Share.

Notice of Exchange

2.12. A Class A.2 Shareholder must deliver a Notice of Exchange either electronically (by electronic mail or by any other electronic procedure that may be established by the Transfer Agent and communicated to the Class A.2 Shareholders by the Company or the Transfer Agent) or physically (by mail, courier, hand delivery or otherwise) to any office of the Transfer Agent prior to the issuance by the Company of a Notice of Class A.2 Redemption or the announcement of a Liquidation Event in order to exercise his, her or its Exchange Right.

Satisfaction of Exchange Rights

2.13. Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a Notice of Exchange and such additional documents and instruments as the Company or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, and provided that BEP or BEPC, as applicable, has not exercised the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, the Company will redeem the applicable Tendered Class A.2 Shares on or prior to the Specified Exchange Date. The Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder, at the address of the holder recorded in the register of the Company for the Class A.2 Shares or at the address specified in the holder’s Notice of Exchange, either (i) the Class A.2 Share Consideration, as applicable, or (ii) the Cash Amount, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A.2 Share equal to any Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends per Tendered Class A.2 Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends collectively being the “Class A.2 Exchange Consideration”) and such delivery of such Class A.2 Exchange Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the Exchange Rights so exercised. Should the Company elect to satisfy Exchange Rights by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner set forth in §2.5.

2.14. Until such time as BEPC owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding Class B Shares and Class C Shares, the BN Group will not be permitted to receive in exchange for Class A.2 Shares, and neither BEPC nor the Company will deliver as Class A.2 Share Consideration, a number of BEPC Class A Shares that would result in the BN Group, after giving effect to the exchange, directly or indirectly, beneficially owning, controlling or holding in aggregate a number of shares of BEPC with a fair market value equal to 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all of the issued and outstanding shares of BEPC immediately after the exchange (the “Ownership Cap”). Any Notice of Exchange delivered by a holder of Class

B-50

A.2 Shares in the BN Group will be required to include a certification as to the BN Group’s ownership of BEPC shares following the proposed exchange. If a Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder tenders for exchange for BEPC Class A Shares a number of Class A.2 Shares that would result, in the determination of the board of directors of BEPC, in its sole discretion, in the BN Group exceeding the Ownership Cap, then the Notice of Exchange will be automatically amended to reduce the number of Class A.2 Shares tendered for exchange to a number that would result in the BN Group owning one (1) BEPC Class A Share less than the Ownership Cap.

2.15. Any Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect to any Tendered Class A.2 Shares redeemed, repurchased or exchanged, to receive any dividends on Class A.2 Shares with a Record Date on or after the date on which the Transfer Agent receives such Notice of Exchange. Each Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder shall continue to own each Class A.2 Share subject to any Notice of Exchange, and be treated as a Class A.2 Shareholder with respect to each such Class A.2 Share for all other purposes of these Articles, until such Class A.2 Share has been redeemed in accordance with §2.13. A Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder shall have no rights as (a) a unitholder of BEP with respect to any BEP Units to be received by such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder in exchange for Tendered Class A.2 Shares pursuant to §2.11 until the Transfer Agent has issued such BEP Units to such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder or (b) as a shareholder of BEPC with respect to any BEPC Class A Shares to be received by such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder in exchange for Tendered Class A.2 Shares pursuant to §2.11 until the Transfer Agent has issued such BEPC Class A Shares to such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder.

2.16. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company will not be obligated to redeem Tendered Class A.2 Shares to the extent that such redemption would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable Law. If the Company believes that it would not be permitted by any such requirements or other provisions to redeem the Tendered Class A.2 Shares, and BEP or BEPC, as applicable, has not exercised the Exchange-Redemption Call Right with respect to the Tendered Class A.2 Shares, the Company will only be obligated to redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A.2 Shares (rounded down to a whole number of Class A.2 Shares) that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions. The Company will notify any such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder at least one Business Day prior to the Specified Exchange Date as to the number of Tendered Class A.2 Shares that will be redeemed by the Company. Where there is more than one Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder, the Company will redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A.2 Shares that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions among such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholders on a pro rata basis.

No Fractional BEP Units or BEPC Class A Shares

2.17. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fractional BEP Units shall be issued in connection with the satisfaction of Exchange Rights, in connection with a redemption of a Class A.2 Share or in connection with a Liquidation Event. In lieu of any fractional BEP Units to which the Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay a cash amount equal to the BEP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date multiplied by such fraction of a BEP Unit.

B-51

2.18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fractional BEPC Class A Shares shall be issued in connection with the satisfaction of Exchange Rights or in connection with a redemption of a Class A.2 Share. In lieu of any fractional BEPC Class A Shares to which the Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay a cash amount equal to the BEPC Class A Share Amount on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date multiplied by such fraction of a BEPC Class A Share.

Withholding Taxes

2.19. Each Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder shall be required to pay to the Company the amount of any tax withholding due upon the redemption of Tendered Class A.2 Shares pursuant to §2.11 to §2.13 and will be deemed to have authorized the Company to retain such portion of the Class A.2 Exchange Consideration as the Company reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Before making any withholding pursuant to this §2.19, the Company shall give each Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Exchange from such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder, notice of the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of any anticipated tax withholding (together with the legal basis therefor) due upon the redemption of the Tendered Class A.2 Shares subject to such Notice of Exchange, provide the Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid or reduce such tax withholding, and reasonably cooperate with the Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be withheld pursuant to this §2.19; provided that any determination with respect to the tax withholding shall be made by the Company, BEP or an affiliate of BEP, as applicable, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

COMPANY REDEMPTION RIGHTS

2.20. If the Company delivers or causes to be delivered a Notice of Class A.2 Redemption to the Class A.2 Shareholders, it shall redeem all of the issued and outstanding Class A.2 Shares on the Specified Class A.2 Redemption Date. The Company may deliver a Notice of Class A.2 Redemption at any time, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable Law, including in any of the following circumstances:

Right of Class B Shareholders to Cause Redemption of Class A.2 Shares

2.21. All of the Class B Shareholders may, at any time and in their sole discretion, deliver a notice to the Company specifying a date upon which the Company shall redeem all of the issued and outstanding Class A.2 Shares (provided that such specified date is no less than 60 days from the date on which the Class B Shareholders deliver such notice), and as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such notice, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, deliver a Notice of Class A.2 Redemption to the Class A.2 Shareholders and, without the consent of the Class A.2 Shareholders, shall redeem all of the Class A.2 Shares on the Specified Class A.2 Redemption Date.

Redemption Procedure

2.22. In the event of a redemption of the Class A.2 Shares, each Class A.2 Shareholder shall be considered a Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder and each Class A.2 Share shall be considered a Tendered Class A.2 Share for the purposes of §2.20 to §2.23, and the Company shall, at or prior to Close of Business on the Specified Class A.2 Redemption Date, pay to each Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder either (i) the BEP Units Amount, or (ii) the BEPC Class A Share Amount, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A.2 Share equal to any Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends in respect of the Class A.2 Shares per Tendered Class A.2 Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends in respect of the Class A.2 Shares collectively being the “Class A.2 Redemption Consideration”) and such delivery of such Class A.2 Redemption Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the redemption of the Class A.2 Shares.

2.23. §2.14 to §2.19 shall apply in their entirety, mutatis mutandis, to a redemption of the Class A.2 Shares.

Exchange-Redemption Call Right

2.24. Notwithstanding the provisions in §2.11 to §2.23 above,

(a)

in the event the Company receives a Notice of Exchange from a Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder specifying a tender for BEP Units, BEP shall have an overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Tendered Class A.2 Shares from the Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder by delivering the BEP Units Amount or the Cash Amount (the form of such payment to be determined by BEP in its sole and absolute discretion) in accordance with §2.11 to §2.19, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Company, and

B-53

(b)

in the event the Company receives a Notice of Exchange from a Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder specifying a tender for BEPC Class A Shares, BEPC shall have an overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Tendered Class A.2 Shares from the Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder by delivering the BEPC Class A Share Amount or the Cash Amount (the form of such payment to be determined by BEPC in its sole and absolute discretion) in accordance with §2.11 to §2.19, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Company, and

(c)

in the event the Company provides a Notice of Class A.2 Redemption to each Class A.2 Shareholder, BEP or BEPC shall have an overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Class A.2 Shares from each Class A.2 Shareholder by delivering the Class A.2 Redemption Consideration (the form of Class A.2 Redemption Consideration to be determined by BEP or BEPC in their sole and absolute discretion) in accordance with §2.20 to §2.23, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Company as set out therein (the right in either (a) or (b) being the “Exchange-Redemption Call Right”),

and in the event of the exercise by BEP or BEPC of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, each Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder will be obligated to sell all Tendered Class A.2 Shares held by such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder to BEP or BEPC (or its affiliate, as applicable) on delivery by BEP or BEPC (or its affiliate, as applicable) to such Tendering Class A.2 Shareholder of the Class A.2 Exchange Consideration or the Class A.2 Redemption Consideration, as applicable, and the Company will have no obligation to pay any Class A.2 Exchange Consideration or Class A.2 Redemption Consideration to the holders of such Class A.2 Shares so purchased by BEP or BEPC (or its affiliate, as applicable).

2.25. In order to exercise their Exchange-Redemption Call Right, BEP or BEPC must notify the Transfer Agent in writing, as agent for the holders of Class A.2 Shares, and the Company, of its intention to exercise such right at least 3 days before the Specified Exchange Date or at least 10 days before the Specified Class A.2 Redemption Date, as applicable. Delivery by BEP or BEPC to the Transfer Agent of a standing direction as to any exercise of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right in respect of the exercise of Exchange Rights shall satisfy the notification requirements set forth in this §2.25.

LIQUIDATION

Liquidation Rights

2.26. Upon any Liquidation Event, including where substantially concurrent with a BEP Liquidation Event, each Class A.2 Shareholder shall, subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right and to §1.28, be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution on the Liquidation Date an amount in cash per Class A.2 Share then held by them equal to the BEP Unit Value on the Liquidation Reference Date multiplied by the Conversion Factor (and together with a cash amount for each Class A.2 Share equal to any Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends per Class A.2 Share, the “Class A.2 Liquidation Amount”). Notwithstanding the

B-54

foregoing, in connection with a Liquidation Event, including where substantially concurrent with a BEP Liquidation Event, if the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion elects, it may, subject to applicable Law, redeem all of the outstanding Class A.2 Shares in exchange for such number of BEP Units per Class A.2 Share equal to the Conversion Factor in effect on the Liquidation Reference Date, together with a cash amount per Class A.2 Share equal to any Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends per Class A.2 Share in accordance with §2.22 and §2.23, in lieu of paying the Class A.2 Liquidation Amount.

2.27. The rights of the Class A.2 Shareholders to receive the amount set forth in §2.26 is subject to:

(a)

the prior rights of holders of all classes and series of Preferred Shares and any other class of shares ranking in priority or rateably with the Class A.2 Shares;

(b)

(c)

prior payment in full to each Tendering Class B Shareholder that submitted a Notice of Class B Retraction at least 30 days prior to the date of the Liquidation Event of the Cash Amount;

any Unpaid Dividends, Unpaid Class A.1 Dividends or Unpaid Class A.2 Dividends; and

(e)

prior payment in full to each Tendering Class C Shareholder that submitted a Notice of Class C Retraction at least 30 days prior to the date of the Liquidation Event of the Class C Retraction Amount.

2.28. If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make payment in full to all Class A.1 Shareholders and Class A.2 Shareholders of the foregoing amounts set forth in §2.26 with respect to the Liquidation Event, then such assets (or consideration) shall be distributed among the Class A.1 Shareholders and the Class A.2 Shareholders at the time outstanding, rateably on a pari passu basis in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive under §2.26.

OTHER RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS

Conversion of Class A.2 Shares

2.29. Any BEP-Affiliated Class A.2 Shareholder shall be entitled at any time to have any or all of such BEP-Affiliated Class A.2 Shareholder’s Class A.2 Shares converted into Class A.1 Shares or Class C Shares at a conversion rate equal to one Class A.1 Share or Class C Share, as applicable, for each Class A.2 Share in respect of which the conversion right is exercised. The right of conversion herein provided for may be exercised by notice in writing given to the Transfer

B-55

Agent (a “Conversion Notice”), which notice shall specify the number of Class A.2 Shares that the BEP-Affiliated Class A.2 Shareholder desires to have converted. Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly issue to the converting BEP-Affiliated Class A.2 Shareholder the requisite number of Class A.1 Shares or Class C Shares and the Transfer Agent shall cancel the converted Class A.2 Shares subject to the Conversion Notice effective concurrently therewith.

Each Class A.2 Shareholder, whether a registered holder or a beneficial holder, by virtue of becoming and being such a holder will be deemed to acknowledge each of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right and the Liquidation Call Right, in each case, in favour of BEP and BEPC, and the overriding nature thereof in connection with the exercise of Exchange Rights, the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, or the retraction or redemption of Class A.2 Shares, as the case may be, and to be bound thereby in favour of BEP or BEPC as herein provided.

Each Class B Shareholder will be entitled to cast a number of votes per Class B Share equal to: (i) the number that is three times the sum of (x) the number of Class A Shares then issued and outstanding, plus (y) the number of votes attached to any shares with voting rights outstanding (other than the Class A Shares and Class B Shares), divided by (ii) the number of Class B Shares then issued and outstanding.

26.5 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by Law, the Class A Shareholders and the Class B Shareholders will vote together and not as separate classes.

At any time that no Class A shares or other shares with voting rights are outstanding, or for any vote held only in respect of the Class B Shares, each Class B Shareholder will be entitled to cast one vote per Class B Share.

26.7 Subject to any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Shares to elect directors under specified circumstances, the holders of the outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares, voting together, shall be entitled to vote for the election of all directors of the Company.

Telephone: (416) 842-2000

October 9, 2024

The Board of Directors

Brookfield Renewable Corporation

250 Vesey Street

New York, New York

United States

To the Board:

RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (“RBC”), a member company of RBC Capital Markets, understands that Brookfield Renewable Corporation (the “Company” or “BEPC”) intends to effect a reorganization by way of plan of arrangement under the laws of British Columbia (the “Arrangement”), pursuant to which, among other things, holders of the Company’s class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (“Class A Shares”) other than Brookfield Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Brookfield Group”) will exchange each Class A Share held for one class A exchangeable subordinate voting share in a new corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia (“New Corporation”, and each such New Corporation share, a “New Corporation Class A Share”). New Corporation is intended to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and New Corporation Class A Shares are expected to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange upon completion of the Arrangement. The terms of the Arrangement will be more fully described in a management information circular (the “Circular”), which will be mailed to shareholders in connection with the Arrangement.

RBC understands that, as of the date hereof, approximately 75.1% of the Class A Shares are held by Public Holders (as defined below), approximately 19.3% of the Class A Shares are held by the Brookfield Group, and approximately 5.6% of the Class A Shares are held by Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“BWS”). Under the Arrangement, the Class A Shares held by the Brookfield Group will be exchanged for class A.2 exchangeable non-voting shares of BEPC (“Class A.2 Shares”), which will be exchangeable for New Corporation Class A Shares.

RBC understands that the nominating and governance committee (the “Nominating and Governance Committee”) of the board of directors of BEPC (the “Board”), which is comprised of independent directors, was charged with responsibility for, amongst other things, evaluating the Arrangement, determining if the Arrangement is in the best interests of BEPC and, if deemed advisable, making recommendations to the Board with respect thereto. RBC was instructed by the Nominating and Governance Committee that the Arrangement is a “related party transaction” of BEPC within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Board retained RBC to provide advice and assistance to the Nominating and Governance Committee in evaluating the Arrangement, including the preparation and delivery to the Board of RBC’s opinion (the “Fairness Opinion”) as to the fairness of the consideration to be received under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the holders of Class A Shares other than the Brookfield Group and BWS (the “Public Holders”). RBC has not prepared a valuation of the Company, New Corporation or any of their respective securities or assets and the Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such. RBC provides no opinion in respect of the treatment of any other class of securities of the Company or New Corporation.

F-1

Engagement

The Board initially contacted RBC regarding a potential advisory assignment in August 2024, and RBC was formally engaged by the Board through an agreement between the Company and RBC dated August 16, 2024 (the “Engagement Agreement”). The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RBC is to be paid a fixed fee for the Fairness Opinion (regardless of its conclusion). In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by the Company in certain circumstances. RBC consents to the inclusion of the Fairness Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof in the Circular and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by the Company with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province and territory of Canada and in the United States.

Relationship With Interested Parties

Neither RBC, nor any of its affiliates, is an insider, associate or affiliate (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (“BEP”), the Company, the Brookfield Group, BWS, or any of their respective associates or affiliates. RBC has not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financing involving BEP, the Company, the Brookfield Group, or BWS or their respective associates or affiliates, other than the services provided under the Engagement Agreement and as disclosed herein. In the past two years, RBC has been engaged in the following capacities for BEP or the Company or their associates or controlled affiliates: (i) co-lead manager for one offering of equity securities for gross proceeds of C$857 million; (ii) lead or co-lead manager for four offerings of debt securities for gross proceeds of C$1.6 billion; and (iii) financial advisor for one active undisclosed advisory assignment. With respect to the Brookfield Group and its associates and affiliates (other than BEP, the Company and their associates and controlled affiliates), in the past two years, RBC has been engaged in the following capacities: (i) joint bookrunner for one offering of equity securities for gross proceeds of C$125 million; (ii) sole or joint bookrunner or lead or co-lead manager for twenty-two offerings of debt securities for gross proceeds of C$20.4 billion; (iii) joint or lead bookrunner or arranger for eleven syndicated term loans or credit facilities for gross proceeds of C$21.3 billion; (iv) participated in an asset securitized facility for gross proceeds of C$2.9 billion; and (v) financial advisor in connection with four advisory transactions with an aggregate transaction value of C$13.1 billion and two active undisclosed advisory assignments. RBC may, in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services for BEP, the Company, New Corporation, the Brookfield Group, BWS or any of their respective associates and affiliates. The compensation of RBC under the Engagement Agreement does not depend in whole or in part on the conclusions reached in the Fairness Opinion or the successful outcome of the Arrangement. Royal Bank of Canada, controlling shareholder of RBC, provides banking services to BEP, the Company, the Brookfield Group, BWS and certain of their respective associates and affiliates, in the normal course of business.

RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of BEP, the Company, New Corporation, the Brookfield Group, BWS, or any of their respective associates and affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to BEP, the Company, New Corporation, the Brookfield Group, BWS, or any of their respective associates and affiliates, or the Arrangement.

F-3

RBC has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by the Company to any information requested by RBC.

Assumptions and Limitations

With the Board’s approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial (including, without limitation, the financial statements of the Company) and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources, senior management of the Company, and their consultants and advisors (collectively, the “Information”). The Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information.

Senior officers of the Company have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the Information (as defined above) provided to RBC orally by, or in the presence of, any officer or employee of the Company, or in writing by the Company, any of its affiliates or any of their respective agents or advisors, for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion (other than projections, estimates and forecasts, which have been made in good faith and based on reasonable assumptions) was, at the date provided to RBC, and is at the date hereof complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, and did not and does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the Information, or any statement contained therein, not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was provided to RBC; and that (ii) since the dates on which the Information was provided to RBC, except as disclosed in writing to RBC or as otherwise publicly disclosed, there has been no material change or change in material facts, financial or otherwise, in or relating to the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and there has been no material change in the Information or other material change or change in material facts, in each case, that is material to the Fairness Opinion.

In preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Arrangement will be met.

The Fairness Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to RBC in discussions with management of the Company and the Brookfield Group. In its analyses and in preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Arrangement.

The Fairness Opinion has been provided for the use of the Board and may not be used by any other person or relied upon by any other person other than the Board without the express prior written consent of RBC. The Fairness Opinion is given as of the date hereof and RBC disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to RBC’s attention after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion after the date hereof, RBC reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Fairness Opinion.

RBC believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could

F-4

create a misleading view of the process underlying the Fairness Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. The Fairness Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any holder of Class A Shares as to whether to vote in favour of the Arrangement.

Fairness Analysis

Approach to Fairness

In considering the fairness of the consideration to be received under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the Public Holders, RBC considered and relied upon the following: (i) the potential financial impact to the Company resulting from the Arrangement compared to the continuation of the status quo, which assumes that, but for the Arrangement, the Company would cease to qualify as a mutual fund corporation; and (ii) the expected trading characteristics of the New Corporation Class A Shares after giving effect to the Arrangement compared to the trading characteristics of the Class A Shares.

Fairness Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RBC is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the consideration to be received under the Arrangement is fair from a financial point of view to the Public Holders.

Yours very truly,

/s/ RBC Dominion Securities Inc.

(dd) “Conversion Factor” means 1.0; provided that in the event that:

G-6

(i) BEP (a) declares or pays a distribution on its outstanding BEP Units wholly or partly in BEP Units; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding BEP Units or (c) effects a reverse unit split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding BEP Units into a smaller number of BEP Units, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of BEP Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (assuming for such purpose that such distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of BEP Units (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

Any adjustment under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the BEP GP determines not to pay such distribution, to the Conversion Factor that would be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(ii) BEP distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of BEP Units to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire BEP Units (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for BEP Units) (each a “BEP Distributed Right”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such BEP Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such BEP Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of BEP Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such BEP Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of BEP Units deliverable or purchasable under such BEP Distributed Rights and (B) the denominator of which shall be (x) the number of BEP Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date plus (y) such number of BEP Units determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such BEP Distributed Rights of the maximum number of BEP Units purchasable under such BEP Distributed Rights by the average of the BEP Unit Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such BEP Distributed Rights become exercisable); provided, however, that, if any such BEP Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the BEP Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of BEP Units or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

Any adjustment under this clause (ii) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such issuance (or, if later, the date such rights, options or

G-7

warrants become exercisable). To the extent that the BEP Units are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of BEP Units actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BEP GP determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such BEP Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by BEP for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the BEP GP.

(iii) (A) BEP distributes to all or substantially all holders of BEP

Units evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding distributions paid exclusively in cash, distributions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above or any Spin-off referred to in clause (iii)(B) below) or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities (but excluding distributions referred to in clause (ii) above), the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution less the fair market value on the Record Date for such distribution (as determined by the BEP GP) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants so distributed applicable to one BEP Unit.

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(A) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BEP GP determines not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined by the BEP GP) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants distributable to one BEP Unit is equal to or greater than the average BEP Unit Value referenced above in this clause (iii)(A), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Class A Shareholder shall receive from the Company, in respect of each Class A Share, a distribution of cash payable out of the funds legally available therefor (at the same time as holders of the BEP Units), that in the

G-8

determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with the amount of BEP indebtedness or assets or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of BEP Units equal to the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Record Date.

(B)

Where there has been a Spin-off, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spinoff by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the share capital or similar equity interest applicable to one BEP Unit distributed to BEP Unit holders over the Valuation Period plus the average of the BEP Unit Value over the Valuation Period and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BEP Unit Value over the Valuation Period; provided that, the Company may elect to pay cash in lieu of making an adjustment to the Conversion Factor provided by this clause (iii)(B), in which case the Company shall be required to pay to the Class A Shareholders and the Class A Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, cash on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period in an amount in respect of each Class A Share held, calculated by multiplying the BEP Unit Value on the Record Date of such Spin-off by the amount the Conversion Factor would have increased as a result of such Spin-off if no such cash payment was made.

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(B) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references contained in the definition of Valuation Period to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for the purposes of the foregoing for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Record Date of such Spin-off and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor. If any such Spin-off does not occur, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BEP GP determines not to proceed with the Spin-off, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Spin-off had not been pursued.

(iv) BEP or one of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the BEP Units (but excluding for all purposes any tender or exchange offer involving an offer to exchange BEP Units for Class A Shares or any other security that is economically equivalent to BEP Units), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per BEP Unit exceeds the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next

G-9

succeeding the Expiration Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be (x) the sum of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the BEP GP) paid or payable in respect of BEP Units in such tender or exchange offer plus (y) the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date multiplied by the number of BEP Units issued and outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all BEP Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer, without duplication), and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of BEP Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (before giving effect to the purchase of all BEP Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer) multiplied by the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

For greater certainty, no adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made for any normal course issuer bid or similar stock buyback. Any adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and shall be given effect as of the Open of Business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references above to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor.

(v) the Company (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A Shares or (c) effects a reverse share split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding Class A Shares into a smaller number of Class A Shares, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (determined without the assumption for such purpose that such dividend, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares (assuming the above assumption has occurred) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

Any adjustment under this clause (v) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such dividend of the type described in this clause (v) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to pay such dividend, to the Conversion Factor that would be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.

G-10

(vi) the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire Class A Shares (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A Shares) at a price per share that is less than the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (each a “Class A Distributed Right”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such Class A Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus (y) such number of Class A Shares determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights of the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights by the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights; provided, however, that, if any such Class A Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the Class A Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A Shares or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

Any adjustment under this clause (vi) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) for such issuance. To the extent that the Class A Shares are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be increased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Class A Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be increased, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the board of directors.

(b) otherwise, 10 days.

Voting at Meetings

17.2 Questions arising at any meeting of directors are to be decided by a majority of votes and, in the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote.

Chair of Meetings

17.3 The following individual is entitled to preside as chair at a meeting of directors:

(a) the chair of the board, if any;

(b) in the absence of the chair of the board, the president, if any, if the president is a director; or

Place of Meetings

G-41

Meetings by Telephone or Other Communications Medium

17.5 A director may participate in a meeting of the directors or of any committee of the directors:

(a) in person; or

(b) by telephone or by other communications medium if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with each other.

A director who participates in a meeting in a manner contemplated by this §17.5 is deemed for all purposes of the Act and these Articles to be present at the meeting and to have agreed to participate in that manner.

Calling of Meetings

17.6 A director may, and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company, if any, on the request of a director must, call a meeting of the directors at any time.

Notice of Meetings

17.7 Other than for meetings held at regular intervals as determined by the directors pursuant to §17.1, reasonable notice of each meeting of the directors, specifying the place, day and time of that meeting must be given to each of the directors by any method set out in §23.1 or orally or by telephone.

When Notice Not Required

17.8 It is not necessary to give notice of a meeting of the directors to a director if:

(a) the meeting is to be held immediately following a meeting of shareholders at which that director was elected or appointed, or is the meeting of the directors at which that director is appointed; or

(b) the director has waived notice of the meeting.

Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice

A consent in writing under this §17.13 may be by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages. Any electronic signature on a consent, whether digital or encrypted, shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as a manual signature. A consent in writing may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one consent in writing. A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors passed in accordance with this §17.13 is effective on the date stated in the consent in writing or on the latest date stated on any counterpart and is deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of directors or of the committee of the directors and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of the committee of the directors that satisfies all the requirements of the Act and all the requirements of these Articles relating to meetings of the directors or of a committee of the directors.

Subject to the requirements of applicable Law with respect to unclaimed property, no Class A Shareholder will be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Company any dividend that is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Company’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend was first payable.

Record and Payment Dates

26.5 The Record Date with respect to any Class A Dividend declared by the board of directors and the payment date of such Class A Dividend will be the same dates as the Record Date and the payment date, respectively, for the corresponding distribution declared on the BEP Units, each as approved by the board of directors.

RANKING

Ranking of the Class A Shares

26.6 The Class A Shares shall, as to the payment of dividends and return of capital in a Liquidation Event, rank senior to the Class B Shares and any other shares ranking junior to the Class A Shares with respect to priority in payment of dividends and return of capital in a Liquidation Event.

Voting Rights

26.7 Except as expressly provided herein, each Class A Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of shareholders of the Company, except for meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class or series. Each Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to cast one vote for each Class A Share held at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on any matter.

26.8 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by Law, the Class A Shareholders and Class B Shareholders will vote together and not as separate classes.

26.9 The holders of the outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares, voting together, shall be entitled to vote in respect of the election of all directors of the Company.

Amendment with Approval of Class A Shareholders

26.10 In addition to any other approvals required by Law, any approval given by the Class A Shareholders to add to, change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to the Class A Shares or any other matter requiring the approval or consent of the Class A Shareholders as a separate class will be deemed to have been sufficiently given if it will have been given in accordance with applicable Law, subject to a minimum requirement that such amendment be approved by not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast on such amendment at a meeting of Class A Shareholders duly called and held at which the Class A Shareholders holding at least 10% of the outstanding Class A Shares at that time are present or represented by proxy; provided that such approval must be given also by the affirmative vote of holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Non-Affiliated Holders represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. If at any such meeting the Class A Shareholders holding at least 10% of the outstanding Class A Shares as of the Record

G-53

Date of such meeting are not present or represented by proxy within one-half hour after the time appointed for such meeting, then the meeting will be adjourned to such date not less than five days thereafter and to such time and place as may be designated by the chairman of such meeting. At such reconvened meeting, the Class A Shareholders present or represented by proxy thereat may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by the affirmative vote of not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast on such amendment at such reconvened meeting by the Non-Affiliated Holders shall be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any approval given by the Class A Shareholders to add to, change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to the Class A Shares or any other matter that would reasonably be expected to impact the economic equivalence of a Class A Share with a BEP Unit shall require (i) at a duly called annual or special meeting of the Class A Shareholders, the affirmative consent or vote, as applicable, of holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares held by Non-Affiliated Holders voting as a class, or (ii) in the event that there is more than one independent director of the Company (within the meaning of sections 1.4 and 1.5 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of the Canadian Securities Administrators, as such provisions may be amended from time to time and, if applicable, the listing standards of the securities exchange(s) on which the Class A Shares may then be listed) who does not also serve on the board of the BEP GP (each a “non-overlapping director”), the approval of a majority of such non-overlapping directors.

Approval of Issuance of Senior Securities to Affiliates

26.11 Notwithstanding anything in these Articles to the contrary, approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares held by Non-Affiliated Holders, voting as a class, shall be required prior to the Company’s issuance to BN or BEP or any of their affiliates of any preferred or equity securities (including any share purchase, warrants, options and other rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such securities) that rank senior to the Class A Shares with respect to payment of dividends or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Exchange at the Option of the Class A Shareholder

26.12 Subject to applicable Law and the due exercise by BEP of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, at any time from and after the date of the issuance of the Class A Shares, each Class A Shareholder shall have the right (the “Exchange Right”) to require the Company to redeem all or such portion of the Class A Shares registered in the name of such Class A Shareholder specified in a Notice of Exchange delivered to the Transfer Agent by or on behalf of such Class A Shareholder (such Class A Shares being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Class A Shares” and such Class A Shareholder, the “Tendering Class A Shareholder”) for the BEP Units Amount per Tendered Class A Share or, if the Company elects in its sole and absolute discretion, the Cash Amount (in lieu of the BEP Units Amount per Tendered Class A Share), plus, in either case, a cash amount equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Tendered Class A Share.

Notice of Exchange

26.13 A Class A Shareholder must deliver a Notice of Exchange either electronically (by electronic mail or by any other electronic procedure that may be established by the Transfer Agent and communicated to the Class A Shareholders by the Company or the Transfer Agent) or physically (by mail, courier, hand delivery or otherwise) to any office of the Transfer Agent prior to the issuance by the Company of a Notice of Class A Redemption or the announcement of a Liquidation Event in order to exercise his, her or its Exchange Right. The Transfer Agent shall promptly notify the Company, BEP and, until such time as the Rights Agreement has been terminated, BN, of the receipt of a Notice of Exchange.

G-54

Satisfaction of Exchange Rights

26.14 Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a Notice of Exchange and such additional documents and instruments as the Company or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, and provided that BEP has not exercised the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, the Company will redeem the applicable Tendered Class A Shares on or prior to the Specified Exchange Date. The Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Tendering Class A Shareholder, at the address of the holder recorded in the register of the Company for the Class A Shares or at the address specified in the holder’s Notice of Exchange, either (i) the BEP Units Amount, or (ii) the Cash Amount, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Tendered Class A Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Dividends collectively being the “Exchange Consideration”) and such delivery of such Exchange Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the Exchange Rights so exercised. Should the Company elect to satisfy Exchange Rights by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner set forth in §26.4.

26.15 Any Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares redeemed, repurchased or exchanged, to receive any dividends on Class A Shares with a Record Date on or after the date on which the Transfer Agent receives such Notice of Exchange. Each Tendering Class A Shareholder shall continue to own each Class A Share subject to any Notice of Exchange, and be treated as a Class A Shareholder with respect to each such Class A Share for all other purposes of these Articles, until such Class A Share has been redeemed in accordance with §26.14 or repurchased or exchanged in accordance with the Rights Agreement, as applicable, for the Secondary Exchange Amount in accordance with §26.17. A Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no rights as a unitholder of BEP with respect to any BEP Units to be received by such Tendering Class A Shareholder in exchange for Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §26.12 until the Transfer Agent has issued such BEP Units to such Tendering Class A Shareholder.

26.16 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company will not be obligated to redeem Tendered Class A Shares to the extent that such redemption would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable Law. If the Company believes that it would not be permitted by any such requirements or other provisions to redeem the Tendered Class A Shares, and BEP has not exercised its Exchange-Redemption Call Right with respect to the Tendered Class A Shares, the Company will only be obligated to redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A Shares (rounded down to a whole number of Class A Shares) that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions. The Company will notify any such Tendering Class A Shareholder at least one Business Day prior to the Specified Exchange Date as to the number of Tendered Class A Shares that will be redeemed by the Company. Where there is more than one Tendering Class A Shareholder, the Company will redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A Shares that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions among such Tendering Class A Shareholders on a pro rata basis.

Secondary Exchange Rights

26.17 For so long as the Rights Agreement has not been terminated, if a Tendering Class A Shareholder has not received the Exchange Consideration with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares by the Close of Business on the applicable Specified Exchange Date for any reason, then, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Rights Agreement, which the Class A Shareholders shall have a right to enforce, such Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to receive from BN the Secondary Exchange Amount with respect to each such Tendered Class A Share no later than the applicable Secondary Exchange Date (the “Secondary Exchange Right”). The Company shall send to BN and to the Rights Agent on the applicable Specified Exchange Date a notice to the effect that the Tendering Class A Shareholder has not

G-55

received the Exchange Consideration and such notice will set forth the identity of the Tendering Class A Shareholder, the number of Tendered Class A Shares, the amounts of such Exchange Consideration then not paid and will be otherwise consistent with the definition of “Company Notice” in the Rights Agreement.

No Fractional BEP Units

26.18 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fractional BEP Units shall be issued in connection with the satisfaction of Exchange Rights, in connection with a redemption of a Class A Share or in connection with a Liquidation Event. In lieu of any fractional BEP Units to which the Tendering Class A Shareholder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay a cash amount equal to the BEP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date multiplied by such fraction of a BEP Unit. In lieu of any fractional BEP Units to which the Tendering Class A Shareholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Rights Agent shall pay a cash amount as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement.

Withholding Taxes

26.19 Each Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be required to pay to the Company the amount of any tax withholding due upon the redemption of Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §26.12 to §26.14 and will be deemed to have authorized the Company to retain such portion of the Exchange Consideration as the Company reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Before making any withholding pursuant to this §26.19, the Company shall give each Tendering Class A Shareholder within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Exchange from such Tendering Class A Shareholder, notice of the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of any anticipated tax withholding (together with the legal basis therefor) due upon the redemption of the Tendered Class A Shares subject to such Notice of Exchange, provide the Tendering Class A Shareholder with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid or reduce such tax withholding, and reasonably cooperate with the Tendering Class A Shareholder in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be withheld pursuant to this §26.19; provided that any determination with respect to the tax withholding shall be made by the Company, BEP or an affiliate of BEP, as applicable, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

COMPANY REDEMPTION RIGHTS

26.20 If the Company delivers or causes to be delivered a Notice of Class A Redemption to the Class A

Shareholders, it shall redeem all of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares on the Specified Class A Redemption Date. The Company may deliver a Notice of Class A Redemption at any time, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable Law, including in any of the following circumstances:

Right of Class B Shareholders to Cause Redemption of Class A Shares

26.21 The Class B Shareholders may, at any time and in their sole discretion, deliver a notice to the Company specifying a date upon which the Company shall redeem all of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares (provided that such specified date is no less than 60 days from the date on which the Class B Shareholders deliver such notice), and as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such notice, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, deliver a Notice of Class A Redemption to the Class A Shareholders and, without the consent of the Class A Shareholders, shall redeem all of the Class A Shares on the Specified Class A Redemption Date.

Redemption Procedure

26.22 In the event of a redemption of the Class A Shares, each Class A Shareholder shall be considered a Tendering Class A Shareholder and each Class A Share shall be considered a Tendered Class A Share for the purposes of §26.20 to §26.23, and the Company shall, at or prior to Close of Business on the Specified Class A Redemption Date, pay to each Tendering Class A Shareholder the BEP Units Amount, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Tendered Class A Share (the BEP Units Amount, plus such Unpaid Dividends collectively being the “Redemption Consideration”) and such delivery of such Redemption Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the redemption of the Class A Shares.

26.23 §26.15 to §26.16 and §26.18 to §26.19 shall apply in their entirety, mutatis mutandis, to a redemption of the Class A Shares.

Exchange-Redemption Call Right

26.24 Notwithstanding the provisions in §26.12 to §26.23 above,

(a) in the event the Company receives a Notice of Exchange from a Tendering Class A Shareholder, BEP shall have an overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Tendered Class A Shares from the Tendering Class A Shareholder by delivering the Exchange Consideration (the form of Exchange Consideration to be determined by BEP in its sole and absolute discretion) in accordance with §26.12 to §26.19 and §26.19 to §26.19, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Company, and

(b) in the event the Company provides a Notice of Class A Redemption to each Class A Shareholder, BEP shall have an overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Class A Shares from each Class A Shareholder by delivering the Redemption Consideration in accordance with §26.20 to §26.23, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the

G-57

obligations of the Company as set out therein (the right in either (a) or (b) being the “Exchange-Redemption Call Right”),

and in the event of the exercise by BEP of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, each Tendering Class A Shareholder will be obligated to sell all Tendered Class A Shares held by such Tendering Class A Shareholder to BEP (or its affiliate, as applicable) on delivery by BEP (or its affiliate, as applicable) to such Tendering Class A Shareholder of the Exchange Consideration or the Redemption Consideration, as applicable, and the Company will have no obligation to pay any Exchange Consideration or Redemption Consideration to the holders of such Class A Shares so purchased by BEP (or its affiliate, as applicable).

26.25 In order to exercise its Exchange-Redemption Call Right, BEP must notify the Transfer Agent in writing, as agent for the holders of Class A Shares, and the Company, of its intention to exercise such right at least 3 days before the Specified Exchange Date or at least 10 days before the Specified Class A Redemption Date, as applicable. Delivery by BEP to the Transfer Agent of a standing direction as to any exercise of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right in respect of the exercise of Exchange Rights shall satisfy the notification requirements set forth in this §26.25.

LIQUIDATION

Liquidation Rights

26.26 Upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the Company or any other distribution of its assets among its shareholders, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), including where substantially concurrent with the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of BEP, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “BEP Liquidation Event”), each Class A Shareholder shall, subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution on the effective date of the Liquidation Event (the “Liquidation Date”) an amount in cash per Class A Share then held by them equal to the BEP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the Liquidation Event (the “Liquidation Reference Date”) multiplied by the Conversion Factor (and together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share, the “Liquidation Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Liquidation Event, including where substantially concurrent with a BEP Liquidation Event, if the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion elects, it may, subject to applicable Law, redeem all of the outstanding Class A Shares in exchange for such number of BEP Units per Class A Share equal to the Conversion Factor in effect on the Liquidation Reference Date, together with a cash amount per Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share in accordance with §26.22 and §26.23, in lieu of paying the Liquidation Amount.

26.27 The rights of the Class A Shareholders to receive the amount set forth in §26.26 is subject to:

(a) the prior rights of holders of any class of shares ranking in priority with the Class A Shares;

(c) prior payment in full to each Tendering Class B Shareholder that submitted a Notice of Class B Retraction at least 30 days prior to the date of the Liquidation Event of the Class B Retraction Amount.

G-58

26.28 If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make payment in full to all Class A Shareholders of the foregoing amounts set forth in §26.26 with respect to the Liquidation Event, then such assets (or consideration) shall be distributed among the Class A Shareholders at the time outstanding, rateably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive under §26.26.

BEP Liquidation Call Right

26.29 Notwithstanding §26.26, BEP will have the overriding right (the “Liquidation Call Right”), in the event of and notwithstanding the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, to purchase from, or cause its affiliate to purchase from, all but not less than all of the Class A Shareholders on the Liquidation Date all but not less than all of the Class A Shares held by each such holder in exchange for the issuance by BEP of such number of BEP Units per Class A Share equal to the Conversion Factor in effect on the Liquidation Reference Date (and together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share, the “Liquidation Call Consideration”). In the event of the exercise of a Liquidation Call Right, each such Class A Shareholder will be obligated on the Liquidation Date to sell all the Class A Shares held by such holder to BEP on the Liquidation Date upon issuance by BEP to the holder of the Liquidation Call Consideration for each such Class A Share and the Company will have no obligation to pay any Liquidation Amount to the holders of such Class A Shares so purchased by BEP.

26.30 In order to exercise the Liquidation Call Right, BEP must notify the Transfer Agent in writing, as agent for the Class A Shareholders and the Company, of its intention to exercise such right at least 30 days before the Liquidation Date in the case of a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and at least five Business Days before the Liquidation Date in the case of an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. If BEP exercises the Liquidation Call Right in accordance with this §26.30, all obligations of the Company under §26.26 to §26.28 will terminate and on the Liquidation Date BEP will purchase and Class A Shareholders will sell all of their Class A Shares then outstanding for a price per unit equal to the Liquidation Call Consideration.

Automatic Redemption Rights

26.31 Subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, in connection with a BEP Liquidation Event, including where substantially concurrent with a Liquidation Event, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, redeem all outstanding Class A Shares on the day prior to the effective date of the BEP Liquidation Event, and immediately following the automatic redemption by Brookfield Renewable Corporation (to be renamed Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation) of the Class A.1 Shares and Class A.2 Shares (or exercise by BEP of the Liquidation Call Right in respect thereof), in exchange for, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) an amount in cash per share equal to the BEP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the BEP Liquidation Event multiplied by the Conversion Factor (together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share), or (ii) such number of BEP Units equal to the Conversion Factor in effect on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the BEP Liquidation Event (together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share).

G-59

The right of conversion herein provided for may be exercised by notice in writing given to the Transfer Agent (a “Conversion Notice”), which notice shall specify the number of Class A Shares that the BEP-Affiliated Class A Shareholder desires to have converted.

The undersigned acknowledges that the Exchange Consideration for the Tendered Class A Shares may be satisfied by the delivery of an equivalent number of BEP Units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent. The form of payment is to be determined by the Company or BEP in its respective sole and absolute discretion. It is the intention of the Company and BEP to satisfy payment of the Exchange Consideration for Tendered Class A Shares through the delivery of BEP Units rather than the Cash Amount.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors of 1505127 B.C. Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of 1505127 B.C. Ltd. (the “Company”) as of October 3, 2024 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at October 3, 2024, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

H-2

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 3, 2024

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BROOKFIELD RENEWABLE CORPORATION

1505127 B.C. Ltd (to be renamed Brookfield Renewable Corporation and hereafter referred to as “New Corporation”) was formed under the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia) on October 3, 2024 and is a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (“the partnership”).

The registered head office of New Corporation is 1055 West Georgia Street, Suite 1500, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of New Corporation and authorized for issue on October 23, 2024.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

a) Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Separate Statements of Income (Loss), Changes in Equity and Cash Flows have not been presented as there have been no activities for New Corporation since incorporation.

All figures are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

b) Financial Instruments

New Corporation classifies the due from a subsidiary of the partnership, Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. (“NA Holdco), as amortized cost. For financial instruments classified as amortized cost, New Corporation assesses on a forward-looking basis if an expected credit loss should be recognized. Any related loss allowances are recorded through profit or loss.

c) Earnings per Share

New Corporation’s basic and diluted earnings per share have not been presented in the financial statements. Class A Exchangeable Subordinate Voting Shares (“New Exchangeable Shares”) are classified as financial liabilities, while Class B Multiple Voting Shares (“New Class B Shares”) are classified as financial liabilities, but presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. As each share classification represents a financial liability, they do not constitute ordinary shares.

3. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources, during the reporting period. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On October 3, 2024, New Corporation entered into a loan agreement with NA Holdco for $26.92. The loan is presented as amounts due from related party on the statement of financial position, is payable by NA Holdco on demand, and accrues interest at 5% per annum.

H-5

5. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

New Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of New Exchangeable Shares and an unlimited number of New Class B Shares. On October 3, 2024, New Corporation issued 1 New Class B Share to NA Holdco for $26.92, which was the closing price of a limited partnership unit of the partnership on the NYSE on October 2, 2024.

The New Exchangeable Shares will rank senior to the New Class B Shares as to the payment of dividends (as and when declared by the board of directors of New Corporation) and return of capital on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

Each holder of New Exchangeable Shares and New Class B Shares is entitled to notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of New Corporation’s shareholders, other than meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class or series. The holders of New Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to cast at any such meeting one vote per New Exchangeable Share on all matters submitted to a vote, and the holders of New Class B Shares will be entitled to cast, in the aggregate, a number of votes equal to three times the number of votes attached to the New Exchangeable Shares. Except as required by applicable law, the New Exchangeable Shares and New Class B Shares will vote together and not as separate classes. As a result of the voting rights, the New Exchangeable Shares and New Class B Shares will control 25% and 75%, respectively, of the aggregate voting rights of New Corporation. At any time that there are no New Exchangeable Shares outstanding the New Class B Shares are entitled to one vote per New Class B Share.

Holders of New Exchangeable Shares have the right to exchange all or a portion of their shares at any time for one limited partnership unit of the partnership (a “unit”) per New Exchangeable Share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by New Corporation or the partnership). New Corporation has the option to satisfy an exchange request by delivering either one unit per New Exchangeable Share (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by New Corporation or the partnership) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit as at the date of receipt by New Corporation of a notice of exchange.

Holders of New Class B Shares have the right to exchange all or a portion of their shares at any time for the cash equivalent of a unit based on the NYSE closing price as at the date of receipt by New Corporation of a notice of exchange. As the most subordinated class of all shares, the New Class B Shares will be presented as equity instruments in New Corporation’s financial statements.

APPENDIX I - NEW CORPORATION UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND INCOME (LOSS)

UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1505127 B.C. Ltd. (to be renamed Brookfield Renewable Corporation and hereafter referred to as “New Corporation”) is a newly formed company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia created for the purpose of issuing the New Exchangeable Shares and acquiring an interest in Brookfield Renewable Corporation (to be renamed Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation and hereafter referred to as “our company”) pursuant to a reorganization to be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). Upon completion of the Arrangement, it is expected that New Corporation will consolidate our company in its financial statements. These unaudited consolidated pro forma financial statements of New Corporation (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements”) have been prepared in connection with the Arrangement and to illustrate the effects of the formation of New Corporation on October 3, 2024 and the acquisition of an interest in our company. Defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the management information circular of Brookfield Renewable Corporation dated October 23, 2024 (the “Circular”).

The New Corporation will acquire an interest in our company as a result of the Arrangement, which includes the following key elements:

The issuance of approximately $1 million of New Class B Shares of the New Corporation to a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (the “partnership”);

ii.

The transfer of exchangeable shares of our company, other than the exchangeable shares held by Brookfield Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Brookfield Group”) and including the exchangeable shares held by Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiaries and related entities (“BNT”), to the New Corporation in exchange for New Exchangeable Shares of the New Corporation on a one for one basis;

iii.

The transfer by the New Corporation of the exchangeable shares of our company received in (ii) above for class A.1 exchangeable shares of our company on a one for one basis, which have 25% of the voting rights of our company’s shares;

iv.

The transfer of the exchangeable shares of our company held by the Brookfield Group to our company in exchange for class A.2 exchangeable shares of our company on a one for one basis, as a result of which the Brookfield Group will not own any shares of the New Corporation upon completion of the Arrangement; and

The transfer of 1/3 of the class B shares of our company to the New Corporation, which have 25% of the voting rights of our company’s shares.

Immediately following the Arrangement, Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. will indirectly own all of the issued and outstanding New Class B Shares which represent a 75% voting interest in New Corporation, while holders of New Exchangeable Shares will hold an aggregate 25% voting interest in New Corporation. In addition, our company will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange and cease to be a reporting issuer, while New Corporation will be listed on both exchanges and will be the reporting issuer going forward.

The Arrangement is a common control transaction where all transacting parties are subsidiaries of the partnership, and our company is determined to be the predecessor of New Corporation. As a result, the Unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2024 gives effect to the Arrangement as if it was consummated on that date, and the Unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Income (Loss) are presented for all periods starting January 1, 2021, and give effect to the Arrangement as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2021.

The adjustments in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements that are related to the Arrangement are referred to as the “Transaction Accounting Adjustments” within the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements. Since New Corporation’s only operations will be our company’s operations, there are no material autonomous entity adjustments as all costs of being a standalone entity have been incurred and reflected in our company’s historical financial statements - see Note 2 of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.

All financial data in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements is presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on accounting estimates and judgements that management believes are reasonable. The notes to these Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements provide information on how the adjustments presented herein were derived. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with (1) the audited annual financial statements of our company, with the notes thereto, as of and for the years ended

I-1

December 31, 2023, which are included in our company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 20-F; (2) the unaudited interim financial statements of our company as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which are included in our company’s Form 6-K filed on August 9, 2024, each of which are incorporated by reference in the Circular; and (3) the audited statement of financial position of New Corporation, with notes thereto, as of October 3, 2024, included in the Circular.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or income (loss) of our company had the Arrangement occurred on the date indicated, nor is such pro forma financial information necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. The actual income (loss) may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. Accordingly, readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on these Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) THE ACQUISITION OF AN INTEREST IN OUR COMPANY

New Corporation is a newly formed company. Upon completion of the Arrangement, New Corporation will acquire an interest in our company and will consolidate our company in its financial statements. The acquisition of an interest in our company as part of the Arrangement is a common control transaction where all transacting parties are subsidiaries of the partnership. As a result, the assets and liabilities of our company will be recorded at their historical carrying values in New Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which has been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements. Immediately following the Arrangement, the New Corporation’s capital structure will be comprised of:

•

New Exchangeable Shares (held by the public, including BNT), which will be exchangeable at the option of the holder at any time at a price equal to the market price of a unit (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by New Corporation or by the partnership). New Corporation will have the option to satisfy the exchange either by delivering a unit or the cash equivalent. Due to the exchange feature, the New Exchangeable Shares have been classified as financial liabilities in our Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements. The liability is recognized at amortized cost and remeasured to reflect changes in the contractual cash flows associated with the shares. These contractual cash flows are based on the price of one BEP unit, with mark- to-market gains or losses recognized in New Corporation’s statement of income (loss).

•

New Class B Shares (held by Brookfield Renewable), which will be redeemable for cash in an amount equal to the market price of a unit. The New Class B Shares will have an aggregate redemption value of $1 million. As the most subordinated class of all shares, the New Class B Shares will be presented as equity instruments in New Corporation’s financial statements and will be attributable to the partnership.

The New Corporation’s operations will consist of our company’s operations and our company will be regarded as the predecessor of New Corporation. Our company’s capital structure, in addition to the class A.1 exchangeable shares held by New Corporation, will include class A.2 exchangeable shares (held by the Brookfield Group), class B shares (held by Brookfield Renewable) and class C shares (held by Brookfield Renewable). Based on similar exchange features to the New Exchangeable Shares mentioned above, the class A.2 exchangeable shares, class B shares and class C shares of our company will be classified as financial liabilities.

As a result of the above, the transaction accounting adjustments reflected in our Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements include necessary adjustments to account for New Corporation’s acquisition of an interest in our company.

The following tables and explanatory notes present the transaction accounting adjustments that have been reflected in our Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements:

As part of the Arrangement New Corporation issued New Class B Shares (held by Brookfield Renewable), which will be redeemable for cash in an amount equal to the market price of a unit. The New Class B Shares will have an aggregate redemption value of $1 million. As the most subordinated class of all shares of New Corporation, the New Class B Shares meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32.

Class C shares of our company represent the most subordinate class of all shares and are classified as financial liabilities upon consolidation into New Corporation. These financial liabilities are measured based on NYSE closing price of one unit $24.77 per share. As at June 30, 2024 there were 194,460,874 class C shares outstanding.

The acquisition of an interest in our company by New Corporation is a common control transaction and as a result, the assets and liabilities of our company are recorded at their carrying amount without basis adjustments on the date the Arrangement is completed. Consideration transferred consists of the New Exchangeable Shares issued to shareholders of our company’s exchangeable shares (other than the Brookfield Group and including BNT). Non-controlling interest reflects interest held by others in our company’s operating subsidiaries as well as interests held in a holding subsidiary held by the partnership. The difference between consideration transferred and the carrying amount of our company’s net assets (after adjusting for intercompany balances with New Corporation and non-controlling interests) of $711 is recognized in equity attributable to the partnership.

(2) AUTONOMOUS ENTITY ADJUSTMENTS

a. Master Services Agreement with Brookfield Corporation

Brookfield Corporation and its subsidiaries provide management services to our group pursuant to a master services agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, on a quarterly basis, our group pays a base management fee to the service providers equal to 0.3125% (1.25% annually) of the market value of our group. Our company is responsible for paying, or reimbursing Brookfield Renewable for, our proportionate share of such fee. For the purposes of calculating the base management fee, the market value of our group is equal to the aggregate value of all the outstanding units, preferred units and securities of the other service recipients, which includes our company (and will include the New Corporation following the completion of the Arrangement), plus all outstanding third party debt with recourse to a service recipient, less all cash held by such entities.

While New Corporation will become a party to the Master Services Agreement, our company will continue to be responsible for paying, or reimbursing Brookfield Renewable for, the proportionate share of such fee. As a result, an autonomous entity adjustment has not been reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Income (Loss).

b. Public Company Costs

The New Corporation expects to incur public company costs similar to those historically incurred by our company, which has presented these costs as general and administrative expenses in its statement of income (loss). Since these costs have already been included in our company’s statement of income (loss), New Corporation has not made any autonomous entity adjustments in its Unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Income (Loss).

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share have not been presented as all the classes of common share do not represent “ordinary shares” under IAS 33 Earnings per share.
