By its nature, forward-looking information is subject to various assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results and achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed or implied in such statements. Key assumptions on which our forward-looking information is based include, but are not limited to, assumptions about: the timing and completion of the Acquisition including receipt of regulatory and Columbia stockholder approval; the planned monetization of TransCanada's U.S. Northeast merchant power business and of a minority interest in its Mexican natural gas pipeline business; inflation rates, commodity prices and capacity prices; timing of financings and hedging; regulatory decisions and outcomes; foreign exchange rates; interest rates; tax rates; planned and unplanned outages and the use of our and Columbia’s pipeline and energy assets; integrity and reliability of our assets; access to capital markets; anticipated construction costs, schedules and completion dates; acquisitions and divestitures; and the realization of the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Acquisition to TransCanada including impacts on growth and accretion in various financial metrics. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives; whether our strategic initiatives will yield the expected benefits; the operating performance of our and Columbia’s pipeline and energy assets; amount of capacity sold and rates achieved in our and Columbia’s pipeline business; the availability and price of energy commodities; the amount of capacity payments and revenues we receive from our energy business; regulatory decisions and outcomes; outcomes of legal proceedings, including arbitration and insurance claims; performance and credit risk of our counterparties; changes in market commodity prices; changes in the political environment; changes in environmental and other laws and regulations; competitive factors in the pipeline and energy sectors; construction and completion of capital projects; costs for labour, equipment and material; access to capital markets; interest, tax and foreign exchange rates; weather; cybersecurity; technological developments; economic conditions in North America as well as globally; uncertainty regarding the length of time to complete the Acquisition and uncertainty regarding the ability of TransCanada to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition; and the timing and execution of TransCanada’s planned asset sales. Additional information on these and other factors are discussed in our 2015 Annual Report and final short form prospectus dated March 28, 2016 (the “Prospectus”) filed with Canadian securities regulators and the SEC and available at www.transcanada.com. Readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking information, which is given as of the date it is expressed in this presentation or otherwise, and not to use future-oriented information or financial outlooks for anything other than their intended purpose.

Non-GAAP Measures and Additional Information Certain information presented in this presentation with respect to TransCanada and Columbia includes certain financial measures which do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Prospective readers are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP-based audited consolidated financial statements. These non-GAAP measures are Comparable Earnings per Share, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), Comparable EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Comparable Distributable Cash Flow per Share and Funds Generated from Operations. A description of the purpose of providing non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures in this presentation to the most closely related GAAP measures can be found in our 2015 Annual Report or in the case of Adjusted EBITDA in the Prospectus, in each case filed with Canadian securities regulators and the SEC and available at www.transcanada.com. Adjusted EBITDA reflects an adjustment to historical and pro forma EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2015 related to (i) a non-cash impairment charge incurred by TransCanada relating to Keystone XL and related projects, including the Keystone Hardisty Terminal, in connection with the November 6, 2015 denial of the U.S. Presidential permit, and (ii) a non-cash impairment charge incurred by TransCanada relating to certain energy turbine equipment previously purchased for a power development project that did not proceed, each as recorded in the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2015. TransCanada believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for evaluating our historical and unaudited pro forma financial results, given the exceptional nature of these one-time asset impairment charges. Additional Information and Where to Find it: In connection with the proposed transaction, Columbia will file with the SEC a proxy statement with respect to a special meeting of its shareholders to be convened to approve the transaction. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to the shareholders of Columbia. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION. Investors will be able to obtain these materials, when they are available, and other documents filed with the SEC free of charge at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. In addition, copies of the proxy statement, when they become available, may be obtained free of charge by accessing Columbia’s website at www.cpg.com or by writing Columbia at 5151 San Felipe Street, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77056, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Investors may also read and copy any reports, statements and other information filed by Columbia with the SEC, at the SEC public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 or visit the SEC’s website for further information on its public reference room. Participants in the Merger Solicitation: Columbia and certain of its directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the transaction. Information regarding Columbia’s directors and executive officers is available in its registration statement on Form 10, as amended, initially filed with the SEC on February 6, 2015. Other information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be contained in the proxy statement and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC when they become available.
