dollars or the Canadian dollar equivalent by contacting the
financial intermediary with whom the common shares are held. Unless
the Canadian dollar equivalent is requested, holders of common
shares will receive dividends in U.S. dollars, which, as is often
the case, the financial intermediary may convert to Canadian
dollars. Registered shareholders receive dividend payments in the
currency of residency. Registered shareholders may opt to change
the payment currency by contacting TSX Trust Company at
1-800-387-0825 prior to the record date of the dividend.
The Canadian dollar equivalent of the quarterly dividend is
based on the Bank of Canada daily
average exchange rate on the day before the declaration date.
Pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and corresponding provincial
legislation, AQN hereby notifies holders of common shares,
preferred shares, Series A, and preferred shares, Series D that
