Secondary Offering

ALGONQUIN POWER & UTILITIES CORP.

U.S.$1,150,000,000
5.365% Senior Notes due 2026
On June 23, 2021, Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (the “Corporation” or “Algonquin”) issued $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Corporation’s 1.18% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in connection with the Corporation’s underwritten offering of 20,000,000 equity units (“Equity Units”), and subsequently issued an additional 3,000,000 Equity Units pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, resulting in a total of $1,150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. The Notes were issued as a component of the Equity Units that were initially in the form of Corporate Units (the “Corporate Units”), each of which initially consisted of (i) a purchase contract (a “Purchase Contract”) issued by the Corporation to purchase common shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares”) and (ii) a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. This Prospectus Supplement relates to the optional remarketing (the “Remarketing”) of $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such Notes on behalf of the holders of Corporate Units (the “Holders of Corporate Units”). In connection with the Remarketing, the Corporation has obtained exemptive relief from Canadian securities regulators from certain disclosure and filing requirements applicable to secondary offerings by way of a Canadian prospectus. See “Exemptions” in the Base Shelf Prospectus.
The Notes are being remarketed pursuant to a remarketing agreement dated as of February 29, 2024 (the “Remarketing Agreement”) by and among the Corporation, BofA Securities, Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as reset agents and remarketing agents and as representatives (the “Representatives”) of a syndicate of remarketing agents and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as purchase contract agent (the “Purchase Contract Agent”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Notes will mature on June 15, 2026. The interest rate on the Notes will be reset to 5.365% per annum, effective on and after the Settlement Date (as defined herein). Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The first interest payment on the Notes will be payable on June 15, 2024, which payment will include interest accrued at an annual rate of 1.18% from and including March 15, 2024 to but excluding the Settlement Date and at an annual rate of 5.365% from and including the Settlement Date to but excluding June 15, 2024.
The Corporation will not receive proceeds from the Remarketing of the Notes. See “Use of Proceeds”.
The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Corporation and rank on a parity in right of payment with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time. In addition, the Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities and other obligations of the Corporation’s subsidiaries. See “Description of the Notes”.
Subject to applicable laws, the Remarketing Agents may, in connection with the Remarketing, effect transactions intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Notes at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See “Remarketing”.
This Remarketing is made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the U.S. and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus Supplement in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Purchasers of the Notes should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the U.S.
The Remarketing Agents expect to deliver the Notes on or about March 28, 2024 (the “Settlement Date”) in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company and its direct and indirect participants (each, a “Participant”), including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking S.A.
The Remarketing Agents have severally agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Notes in the U.S. and in Canada in accordance with the conditions contained in the Remarketing Agreement and referred to under “Remarketing” and subject to the approval of certain legal matters on behalf of the Corporation by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, as to Canadian matters, and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, as to U.S. matters, and on behalf of the Remarketing Agents by Bennett Jones LLP, as to Canadian matters, and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, as to U.S. matters.
The earnings coverage ratio provided in this Prospectus Supplement is less than one-to-one. See “Earnings Coverage Ratios” for further details.
There is no market through which the Notes may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Notes purchased under this Prospectus Supplement and the Base Shelf Prospectus to which it relates. This may affect the pricing of the Notes in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Notes and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”. The Corporation does not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange or quotation system and, consequently, purchasers may not be able to resell the Notes purchased under this Prospectus Supplement.
An investment in the Notes is subject to certain risks. Prospective purchasers should therefore carefully consider the disclosure with respect to the Corporation included and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement. See “Risk Factors”.
Owning the Notes may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for purchasers who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States or who are residents in Canada may not be described fully herein or in the Base Shelf Prospectus. Purchasers of the Notes should read the tax discussion contained under “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Prospectus Supplement and consult their own tax advisor.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada, that most of its officers and directors are residents of Canada and that a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and said persons are located outside of the U.S. See “Enforcement of Certain Civil Liabilities” in this Prospectus Supplement and in the Base Shelf Prospectus.
NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) NOR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATOR HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE NOTES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
BofA Securities, Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, National Bank of Canada Financial Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are affiliates of financial institutions which are lenders to the Corporation and/or certain subsidiary entities of the Corporation. Consequently, the Corporation may be considered a connected issuer to each of the foregoing Remarketing Agents for purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws. See “Relationship Between the Corporation and Certain Remarketing Agents”.
Melissa Barnes, D. Randy Laney, Masheed Saidi and Dilek Samil, directors of the Corporation, each reside outside of Canada. Each of Ms. Barnes, Mr. Laney, Ms. Saidi and Ms. Samil has appointed Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., 354 Davis Road, Oakville, Ontario, L6J 2X1 as his or her agent for service of process in Canada. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process. See “Enforcement of Certain Civil Liabilities”.
The registered and head office of the Corporation is located at 354 Davis Road, Oakville, Ontario, L6J 2X1.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information included and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
NON-GAAP AND OTHER MEASURES
The Corporation uses a number of financial measures to assess the performance of its business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in Canadian National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. The Corporation’s method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The terms “Adjusted Net Earnings”, “Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” (“Adjusted EBITDA”), “Adjusted Funds from Operations”, “Divisional Operating Profit”, “Net Utility Sales” and “Net Energy Sales”, which are used in or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus Supplement, are Non-GAAP financial measures. An explanation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures, an explanation of the composition of these measures, a description of the Corporation’s use of these measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, in each case, can be found in the Annual MD&A, which is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement. Certain of these Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for the years ended December 31, 2020 and/or December 31, 2021, and reconciliations of such measures for those periods can be found in Schedule “A” to this Prospectus Supplement.
In addition, the term “rate base” is used in this document. Rate base is a measure specific to rate-regulated utilities that is not intended to represent any financial measure as defined by U.S. GAAP. The measure is used by the regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions where the Corporation’s rate-regulated subsidiaries operate. The calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

BUSINESS OF THE CORPORATION
General
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. was originally incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 1, 1988 as Traduction Militech Translation Inc. Pursuant to articles of amendment dated August 20, 1990 and January 24, 2007, the Corporation amended its articles to change its name to Société Hydrogenique Incorporée – Hydrogenics Corporation and Hydrogenics Corporation – Corporation Hydrogenique, respectively. Pursuant to a certificate and articles of arrangement dated October 27, 2009, the Corporation, among other things, created a new class of common shares, transferred its existing operations to a newly formed independent corporation, exchanged new common shares for all of the trust units of Algonquin Power Co. and changed its name to Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. The head and registered office of the Corporation is located at 354 Davis Road, Oakville, Ontario, L6J 2X1.
The Corporation’s operations are organized across two primary business units consisting of: the Regulated Services Group, which primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; and the Renewable Energy Group, which primarily owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal energy generation assets.

On August 10, 2023, following a strategic review, the Corporation announced that it will pursue a sale of its renewable energy business in an effort to unlock the Corporation’s value as a pure-play regulated utility by simplifying its structure and enabling the Corporation to focus on regulated investment opportunities, with greater operational efficiency and capital discipline. The Corporation’s objectives for the transaction are to support its current dividend, reduce its cost of capital, and maintain its investment grade BBB credit rating. At the same time, the Corporation is seeking to maximize the value of the renewables business and position it with a new owner that can facilitate its long-term success through the ongoing energy transition. J.P. Morgan Securities Canada Inc. is acting as the Corporation’s financial advisor in connection with the sale of the renewable energy business. The Corporation intends to exit the sale process as a competitively capitalized, pure-play regulated utility. There can be no assurance about the outcome of this sale process, the specific assets that will be sold (if any), that any specific transaction will be identified or consummated, or that any such transaction will achieve any expected result or benefit. For more information, see “Risk Factors Relating to Strategic Planning and Execution— The Corporation may desire to sell businesses or assets, which may have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, operations or financial condition.” in the AIF.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUMMARY
The following information is a summary of the principal features of this distribution and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement or the Base Shelf Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Reference is made to the “Description of the Notes” section of this Prospectus Supplement for the meaning of certain terms not otherwise defined in this section.
THE REMARKETING
Issuer:
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.
Securities Remarketed:
$1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Corporation’s 5.365% senior notes due 2026.
Maturity Date:
The Notes will mature on June 15, 2026.
Specified Denominations:
Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Interest Rate:
The interest rate on the Notes will be reset to 5.365% per annum, effective on and after the Settlement Date.
Interest Payment Dates:
Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The first interest payment on the Notes will be payable on June 15, 2024, which payment will include interest accrued at an annual rate of 1.18% from and including March 15, 2024 to but excluding the Settlement Date and at an annual rate of 5.365% from and including the Settlement Date to but excluding June 15, 2024.
Remarketing:
The Notes were originally issued on June 23, 2021 in connection with the Corporation’s issuance and sale of the Equity Units (initially consisting of Corporate Units). Each Corporate Unit initially consisted of both a Purchase Contract and a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. In order to secure their obligations under the Purchase Contracts, Holders of Corporate Units pledged their undivided beneficial interests in the Notes to the Corporation through The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Corporate Units, the Notes are being remarketed on behalf of the Holders of Corporate Units, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Remarketing Agreement, which requires the Remarketing Agents to use commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Notes at a public offering price that will result in proceeds sufficient to purchase the Treasury Portfolio at the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price (each as defined herein). See “Remarketing”.
Ranking:
The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Corporation and rank on a parity in right of payment with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time. The Notes are structurally subordinated to existing or future preferred shares and indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities, including trade payables, of the Corporation’s subsidiaries. See “Description of the Notes—Ranking”.
S-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Redemption:
The Notes are not redeemable prior to the Stated Maturity Date (as defined herein) at the Corporation’s option.
Use of Proceeds:
The Corporation will not directly receive any proceeds from the Remarketing. The gross proceeds from the Remarketing are estimated to be $1,140,876,027.78 and will be used as follows:
(i)
$1,140,860,249.20 of the proceeds (which is equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price) will be used to purchase the Treasury Portfolio (as defined under “Remarketing”), a portion of which will then be pledged to secure the Purchase Contract obligations of the Holders of Corporate Units to purchase Common Shares on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (as defined herein); and
(ii)
any remaining proceeds from the Remarketing will be remitted to the Purchase Contract Agent for pro rata payment to the Holders of Corporate Units.
On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a portion of the proceeds from the amount paid upon the maturity of the Treasury Portfolio will be paid to the Corporation in settlement of the obligations of the Holders of Corporate Units under the Purchase Contracts to purchase Common Shares, in exchange for such Common Shares. The Corporation currently intends to use the proceeds from the settlement of the Purchase Contracts to reduce existing indebtedness of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes. For additional information, see “Use of Proceeds” and “Remarketing”.
Listing:
There is no established trading market for the Notes. The Corporation does not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange or quotation system and, consequently, purchasers may not be able to resell the Notes purchased under this Prospectus Supplement.
Risk Factors:
An investment in the Notes is subject to certain risks. Prospective purchasers should therefore carefully consider the disclosure with respect to the Corporation and the Notes included and incorporated in this Prospectus Supplement. See “Risk Factors”.
Trustees:
The U.S. indenture trustee under the indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. and the Canadian indenture trustee is BNY Trust Company of Canada.
Governing Law:
The indenture and the Notes are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof; provided, however, that the exercise, performance or discharge by the Canadian indenture trustee of any of its rights, powers, duties or responsibilities under the indenture or the Notes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
S-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Notes is subject to certain risks. In addition to the risks described herein, reference is made to the section in the AIF entitled “Enterprise Risk Factors” and to the section in the Annual MD&A entitled “Enterprise Risk Management” and to the risks disclosed in other documents incorporated by reference herein. Such risk factors could have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations, business prospects or financial condition of the Corporation, and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Corporation, or which the Corporation currently deems to be immaterial, may also have an adverse effect upon the Corporation.
The secondary market for the Notes may be illiquid.
It is not possible to predict how the Notes will trade or whether a market for them will be liquid or illiquid. While the Corporate Units of which the Notes form a part currently trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the Corporate Units will be delisted as of the Settlement Date. There is no established trading market for the Notes. In addition, the Corporation does not intend to list the Notes on any exchange or quotation system. As a result, the trading market for the Notes may not be active or liquid and purchasers may not be able to resell the Notes purchased under this Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the trading price of the Notes in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices and the liquidity of the Notes.
Even if a trading market for the Notes does develop, you may not be able to sell your Notes at a particular time, if at all, or you may not be able to obtain the price you desire for your Notes. The Notes may trade at a discount from their initial remarketing price depending on many factors including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, the credit rating, the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the Notes, the price of any other securities of the Corporation and the performance prospects and financial condition of the Corporation as well as of other companies in the Corporation’s industry. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained or that the Notes may be resold at or above the remarketing price. In addition, the ability of a holder to pledge Notes or otherwise take action with respect to such holder’s interest in Notes (other than through a Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.
The Notes are structurally subordinated to any existing or future preferred shares, indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities of the Corporation’s subsidiaries.
The Notes are obligations exclusively of the Corporation and are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries, and, as a result, payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be structurally subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities of the Corporation’s subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2023, the Corporation’s subsidiaries had approximately $6,592.0 million of outstanding indebtedness (excluding undrawn letters of credit and other liabilities). All such indebtedness will effectively rank senior to the Corporation’s obligations under the Notes.
The indenture does not contain any provision limiting the Corporation’s ability to incur indebtedness or any other restrictive covenants.
The indenture does not contain any provision limiting the ability of the Corporation to incur indebtedness generally. As a result, the Corporation could enter into any transaction that could materially increase the total amount of its outstanding indebtedness, which can rank senior to the Corporation’s obligations under the Notes, adversely affect its capital structure or credit ratings or otherwise adversely affect the holders of the Notes. As of December 31, 2023, the Corporation had approximately $1,924.0 million of outstanding long-term debt on an unconsolidated basis that ranks on parity with the Notes, and it may incur substantial indebtedness in the future. The Notes are not subject to any restrictive covenants, and the Corporation is not restricted from paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing its securities. Other than as described under “Description of the Notes—Consolidation, Merger or Sale,” the indenture does not limit the Corporation’s ability to enter into transactions that could constitute a change of control of the Corporation, even though any of these transactions could increase the amount of the Corporation’s indebtedness, or otherwise adversely affect the Corporation’s capital structure or credit ratings, any of which could adversely affect the holders of Notes, including by decreasing the trading prices for the Notes.
Other U.S. tax treatments of the Notes are possible.
The Corporation intends to treat the Notes as “variable rate debt instruments” that are subject to applicable U.S. Treasury regulations that apply to “reset bonds.” Under this treatment, except as described above, a U.S. holder (as defined in “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”) will be required to take into account
S-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

interest payments on the Notes at the time the interest is paid or accrued in accordance with such holder’s regular method of tax accounting. However, because there are no U.S. Treasury regulations, rulings or other authorities that address the U.S. federal income tax treatment of debt instruments that are substantially similar to the Notes, alternative characterizations of the Notes are possible. For example, the Notes could be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that event, a U.S. holder would generally be required to (1) accrue interest income based on a projected payment schedule and comparable yield, which may be higher than the stated interest rate on the Notes, regardless of such holder’s regular method of tax accounting, and (2) treat any gain recognized on a sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a Note as ordinary income. See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—The Notes—Possible Alternative Characterizations”.
Investors in the Notes located outside of Canada may have difficulties enforcing civil liabilities.
The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada and its registered and head office is in Canada. Most of the Corporation’s officers and some of the Corporation’s directors, and some of the experts named in this Prospectus Supplement, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and a portion of their assets, and a portion of the Corporation’s assets, are located outside the U.S. The Corporation will agree, in accordance with the terms of the indenture, to accept service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to the indenture or the Notes brought in any federal or state court located in New York City by an agent designated for such purpose, and to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such suits, actions or proceedings. Nevertheless, it may be difficult for holders of Notes to effect service of process within the United States upon directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability under U.S. federal or state securities laws or other laws of the United States. The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal securities laws may be enforceable in Canada if: (a) there is a real and substantial connection between the events, persons and circumstances and the forum in which the United States proceedings occur such that the United States court properly assumed jurisdiction; (b) the United States judgment is final and conclusive and for a sum certain; (c) the defendant was properly served with originating process from the United States court; and (d) the United States law that led to the judgment is not contrary to Canadian public policy, as that term would be applied by a Canadian court. However, the Corporation has also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that there is a substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws. See “Enforcement of Certain Civil Liabilities”.
Investors in the Notes may have difficulties enforcing against Holders of Corporate Units in respect of any liability Holders of Corporate Units may have under Canadian securities law as “selling security holders.”
Under Canadian securities law, if a Canadian prospectus contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchased a security offered under such prospectus has, without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation, a right of action for damages or for rescission against both the issuer and any “selling security holder” selling its securities pursuant to such prospectus.
Holders of Corporate Units may qualify as a “selling securityholders” under applicable Canadian securities laws, including applicable prospectus requirements. The Corporation identified a number of practical impediments to complying with such requirements in the event of a remarketing conducted by way of a Canadian prospectus, including notably that beneficial interests in the Equity Units are widely held through the DTC (as defined herein). Accordingly, the Corporation has applied for, and obtained, exemptive relief (the “Exemptive Relief”) from Canadian securities regulators to the extent (and only to the extent) such requirements are applicable to Holders of Corporate Units as selling securityholders in the Remarketing conducted by this Prospectus Supplement. See “Exemptions” in the Base Shelf Prospectus.
The Exemptive Relief does not relieve the Holders of Corporate Units of the liability described above in the event that this Prospectus Supplement contains a misrepresentation. Purchasers who purchase Notes in the Remarketing may experience difficulty enforcing any right of action for damages or for rescission against Holders of Corporate Units given that beneficial interests in the Equity Units are widely held through the DTC as the sole registered holder of the Equity Units and the identity of the Holders of Corporate Units may not be known.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Credit ratings applied to the Notes may affect the market price or value and the liquidity of the securities.
The credit ratings applied to the Notes are an assessment by the Rating Agencies (as defined herein) of the Corporation’s ability to pay its obligations. The credit ratings are based on certain assumptions about the future performance and capital structure of the Corporation that may or may not reflect the actual performance or capital structure of the Corporation. Changes in credit ratings of the Notes may affect the market price or value and the liquidity of the securities. There is no assurance that any credit rating assigned to the Notes will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the relevant rating agency.
S-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS
The Corporation is remarketing up to $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes to investors on behalf of Holders of Corporate Units. The Corporation will not directly receive any proceeds from the Remarketing.
The gross proceeds from the Remarketing are estimated to be $1,140,876,027.78. The Corporation will pay the remarketing fee to the Remarketing Agents directly (and not out of the proceeds of the Remarketing). Accordingly, the full gross proceeds of the Remarketing will be used as follows:
-
$1,140,860,249.20 of the proceeds (which is equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price) will be used to purchase the Treasury Portfolio, a portion of which will then be pledged to secure the Purchase Contract obligations of the Holders of Corporate Units to purchase Common Shares on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date; and
-
any proceeds from the Remarketing of Notes that are included in Corporate Units after deducting the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price will be remitted to the Purchase Contract Agent for pro rata payment to the Holders of Corporate Units.
On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a portion of the proceeds from the amount paid upon the maturity of the Treasury Portfolio will be paid to the Corporation in settlement of the obligations of the Holders of Corporate Units under the Purchase Contracts to purchase Common Shares, in exchange for such Common Shares. The Corporation currently intends to use the proceeds from the settlement of the Purchase Contracts to reduce existing indebtedness of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes. For a description of the Treasury Portfolio and the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price, see “Remarketing”.
CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION
There have been no material changes in the consolidated capitalization of the Corporation since December 31, 2023, the end of the most recent reporting period for the Corporation, which have not been disclosed in the Base Shelf Prospectus or this Prospectus Supplement or in the documents incorporated by reference therein or herein.
EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIOS
The following consolidated earnings coverage ratio is calculated for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2023. The ratio gives effect to the adjustments to the terms of the Notes described herein, including the reset of the interest rate of the Notes effective on the Settlement Date and the repayment of $1.15 billion of indebtedness outstanding during such period as though such reset and repayment occurred at the beginning of the 12 month period. The Corporation’s borrowing cost requirements after giving effect to the adjustments to the terms of the Notes and the repayment of $1.15 billion of indebtedness outstanding during such period (including the indebtedness to be repaid using the net proceeds expected to be received upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts, see “Use of Proceeds”) amounted to $338.5 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023. The Corporation’s earnings before interest and income tax for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023 was $234.1 million, which is 0.7 times the Corporation’s aggregate borrowing cost requirements for this period. This earnings coverage ratio is less than one-to-one. The Corporation would require earnings before interest and income tax of $338.5 million for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2023 to achieve an earnings coverage ratio of one-to-one for the period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
In this Description of the Notes, “Algonquin” and the “Corporation” refer only to Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. and any successor obligor, and not to any of its subsidiaries.
The following summary description sets forth certain terms and provisions of the Notes. Because this description is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the Notes and should be read together with the forms of Notes, the base indenture (as defined herein) under which the Notes were issued and the first supplemental indenture (as defined herein) establishing the terms of the Notes. The base indenture and the first supplemental indenture were filed as exhibits to, and incorporated by reference in, the registration statement of which this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Base Shelf Prospectus is a part.
The indenture and its associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. The indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and you should refer to the Trust Indenture Act for provisions that apply to the Notes.
General
As of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes is $1,150,000,000. The Notes were initially issued on June 23, 2021 pursuant to an indenture (the “base indenture”) among the Corporation, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “U.S. indenture trustee”) and BNY Trust Company of Canada (the “Canadian indenture trustee” and, together with the U.S. indenture trustee, the “indenture trustees”) as supplemented by a supplemental indenture (the “first supplemental indenture” and, together with the base indenture, the “indenture”). The Corporation may issue an unlimited amount of other securities under the indenture which are on parity with the Notes.
The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Corporation and rank on a parity in right of payment with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time. Additional information about the Corporation’s current outstanding indebtedness and the relative priorities of its indebtedness is described below under “—Ranking.”
The Notes remarketed hereby will be represented by one or more fully registered global securities (the “global securities”) deposited with the U.S. indenture trustee, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as depository, and registered in the name of DTC or DTC’s nominee. A beneficial interest in a global security will be shown on, and transfers or exchanges thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its Participants, as described below under “—Book-Entry Issuance—The Depository Trust Company.” The authorized denominations of the Notes are $1,000 and any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. Except in certain circumstances described below, the Notes that are issued as global securities will not be exchangeable for Notes in definitive certificated form.
The Notes are not subject to a sinking fund provision and, prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, will not be subject to defeasance. After June 17, 2024 (being the first business day following June 15, 2024 and, accordingly, the “Purchase Contract Settlement Date”), the Notes will be subject to defeasance. The entire principal amount of the Notes will mature and become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on June 15, 2026. The indenture does not contain any financial covenants or restrict the Corporation from paying dividends, making investments, incurring indebtedness or repurchasing its securities. The indenture does not contain provisions that afford holders of the Notes protection in the event the Corporation is involved in a highly leveraged transaction or other similar transaction that may adversely affect such holders.
Other than as set forth under “—Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Corporation will not pay any additional amounts to holders of the Notes in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge.

The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank on a parity in right of payment with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time. In addition, the Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities and other obligations of the Corporation’s subsidiaries.
Because the Corporation is a holding company and conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries, its ability to meet its obligations under the Notes is dependent on the earnings and cash flows of those subsidiaries and the ability of those subsidiaries to pay dividends or to advance or repay funds to the Corporation. Holders of the Notes

will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debtholders, secured creditors, taxing authorities, guarantee holders and any preferred shareholders. As of December 31, 2023, the Corporation had approximately $1,924.0 million of outstanding long-term debt on an unconsolidated basis that ranks on parity with the Notes. As of December 31, 2023, the Corporation’s subsidiaries had approximately $6,592.0 million in outstanding indebtedness (excluding undrawn letters of credit and other liabilities). The provisions of the indenture do not limit the amount of indebtedness or preferred shares issuable by the Corporation’s subsidiaries. The Corporation and its subsidiaries expect to incur additional indebtedness from time to time.
Principal and Interest
The Notes will mature on June 15, 2026 (the “Stated Maturity Date”). The interest rate on the Notes has been reset to 5.365%, in accordance with the terms under which the Notes were initially issued, and this reset rate will become effective on the Settlement Date, which will be the second business day following the Remarketing Date (as defined herein) (or, if the Notes are priced after 4:30 p.m. New York City time on the Remarketing Date, the third business day following the Remarketing Date). Interest on the Notes will now be payable on a semi-annual basis on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “interest payment date”), commencing on June 15, 2024 (which payment will include interest accrued at an annual rate of 1.18% from and including March 15, 2024 to but excluding the Settlement Date and at an annual rate of 5.365% from and including the Settlement Date to but excluding June 15, 2024), and at maturity. Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture provides for the payment of interest on an interest payment date only to persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the record date, which will be the close of business on the first day of the calendar month in which the applicable interest payment date falls (whether or not a business day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest payable at maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 30-day month.
If any interest payment date, maturity date or the date (if any) on which the Corporation is required to purchase the Notes is not a business day, then the applicable payment will be made on the next succeeding day that is a business day, and no interest will accrue or be paid in respect of such delay. “Business day,” for purposes of the indenture, means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close or a day on which the corporate trust office of the U.S. indenture trustee is closed for business.
For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest or fee in respect of the Notes is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, shall be equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation in respect of the Notes. The rates of interest stipulated herein with respect to the Notes are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
Remarketing
The Corporation has entered into a Remarketing Agreement with the Remarketing Agents to conduct an optional remarketing, where the Notes that are part of Corporate Units will be remarketed.
Following the Remarketing of the Notes:
-
the interest rate on the Notes will be reset as described above in “—Principal and Interest”;
-
interest will be payable on the Notes semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year; and
-
the Notes will cease to be redeemable at the Corporation’s option.
All such modifications will take effect without the consent of holders on the Settlement Date and will apply to all Notes, whether or not included in the Remarketing. All other terms of the Notes will remain unchanged.
Redemption
Following the Remarketing of the Notes, the Notes will not be redeemable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Events of Default
Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:
-
failure to pay required interest on the Notes for 30 days;
-
failure to pay when due principal on the Notes;
-
failure to perform, for 90 days after notice, any other covenant in the indenture applicable to the Notes, unless such period is extended or corrective action is initiated within such periods and is being diligently pursued; and
-
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, whether voluntary or not.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency) should occur and be continuing, the U.S. indenture trustee or the holders of at least 25% in total principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare each Note immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occurs, then the principal of, and accrued interest on, all of the outstanding Notes will automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the U.S. indenture trustee or any holder of the Notes.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may waive a default or Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes (including the redemption price or purchase price of the Notes, if applicable), or a default or Event of Default with respect to a covenant or provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note.
If any portion of the amount payable on the Notes upon acceleration is considered by a court to be unearned interest, the court could disallow recovery of such portion.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes will be entitled to control certain actions of the U.S. indenture trustee. The U.S. indenture trustee generally will not be required to take any action requested, ordered or directed by any of the holders of the Notes, unless one or more of such holders shall have offered to the U.S. indenture trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it.
Before any holder of Notes may institute action for any remedy, except payment on such holder’s Notes when due, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes must request the U.S. indenture trustee to take action. Holders must also offer and give the U.S. indenture trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against liabilities incurred by the U.S. indenture trustee for taking such action.
The Corporation is required to annually furnish to the U.S. indenture trustee a statement as to the Corporation’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. The U.S. indenture trustee is required, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, to give notice of all defaults to each holder of the Notes. However, the indenture provides that the U.S. indenture trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the Notes of any default, other than a default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes (including the redemption price or purchase price of the Notes, if applicable), if it considers withholding notice to be in the interests of the holders of the Notes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments made by or on account of any obligation of the Corporation under or with respect to the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto), in each case in the nature of a tax, imposed or levied by a governmental authority (hereinafter “Taxes”), unless the Corporation is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If the Corporation is so required to withhold or deduct any Taxes imposed by the Government of Canada or any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction,” and such Taxes, “Canadian Taxes”) from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Corporation shall pay as additional interest such additional amounts (hereinafter “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of the Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction for Canadian Taxes shall not be less than the amount the holder of the Notes would have received if such Canadian Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder of the Notes in respect of a holder or beneficial owner:
(i)
with which the Corporation does not deal at arm’s length (for purposes of the Tax Act) at the time of the making of such payment;
(ii)
in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with whom the Corporation is not dealing at arm’s length (for purposes of the Tax Act);
(iii)
which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the failure to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement by a holder or beneficial owner of the Notes if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in, the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Canadian Taxes;
(iv)
where all or any portion of the amount paid to such holder of the Notes relates to an amount that is or was deemed to be a dividend paid to such holder pursuant to subsection 214(16) of the Tax Act;
(v)
which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of its carrying on business in or being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof (including, without limitation, by being or having been a national, domiciliary or resident, or treated as a resident, of, or physically present in or having or having had a permanent establishment in, Canada or any province or territory thereof) otherwise than by the mere holding of Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder;
(vi)
in respect of any applicable Taxes that are payable other than by withholding from payments under or with respect to the Notes;
(vii)
in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property, excise or similar applicable Taxes;
(viii)
if the applicable Taxes would not have been imposed but for the presentation of such Note (in cases in which presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of the date on which the relevant payment became due and payable pursuant to the terms thereof or was made or duly provided for;
(ix)
in respect of any applicable Taxes to the extent such applicable Taxes result from the presentation of any Note for payment (where presentation is required for payment) and the payment can be made without such withholding or deduction by the presentation of the Note for payment by at least one other paying agent;
(x)
for any Taxes imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (as defined herein) (or any amended or successor version of such sections) (“FATCA”), any regulations or other official guidance thereunder, any agreement entered into pursuant to section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any intergovernmental agreement entered into between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States in connection with FATCA or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA; and (xi) in respect of any combination of applicable Taxes referred to in the preceding clauses (i) through (x). The Corporation shall make such withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority as and when required under applicable

law. Furthermore, Additional Amounts shall not be paid for any applicable Taxes if the holder is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a partner or member of that partnership or limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner, member or beneficial owner been the holder thereof.
Whenever in this “Description of the Notes” there is mentioned, in any context, (1) the payment of principal or premium, (2) purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes, (3) interest, or (4) any other amount payable on or with respect to the Notes, such reference shall be deemed to include payment of any Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, such Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
The Corporation will pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary or similar Taxes that arise in any taxing jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the indenture, or any other document or instrument required in relation thereof, and the Corporation agrees to indemnify the holders for any such Taxes paid by such holders. The obligations described under this heading will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the indenture.
Consolidation, Merger or Sale
The Corporation has agreed not to consummate (1) any consolidation, merger, arrangement or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any person or persons or convey or (2) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s consolidated assets to any person other than one of its subsidiaries unless (i) the Corporation is the continuing entity or the successor entity is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof, the United States or a state thereof or the District of Columbia and such person expressly assumes the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the indenture to be performed by the Corporation by supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the indenture trustees, executed and delivered to the indenture trustees by such person, and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, merger, arrangement or amalgamation, or such sale, lease or other transfer, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, will occur and be continuing.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, arrangement, amalgamation, sale, lease or other transfer, such successor will succeed to and be substituted for the Corporation, with the same effect as if it had been named as the Corporation in the indenture, and in the event of such conveyance (other than by way of a lease), the Corporation will be discharged of all of its obligations and covenants under the indenture and the Notes.
Modification of Indenture
Without Holder Consent
Without the consent of any holders of Notes, the Corporation and the indenture trustees may from time to time amend and/or supplement the indenture and the Notes for the following purposes:
-
to evidence the succession of another person to the Corporation, or successive successions, and the assumption by such successor of the Corporation’s covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to the provisions described under “—Consolidation, Merger or Sale”;
-
to add to the Corporation’s covenants such further covenants, restrictions or conditions as the Corporation in good faith considers to be for the protection of the holders of the Notes, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of Default; provided that such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular grace period or an immediate enforcement upon such default or limit the remedies available to the indenture trustees upon such default;
-
to change or eliminate any provision of the indenture; provided, however, that any such change or elimination becomes effective only when there are no Notes outstanding, or the Notes are not entitled to the benefit of such provision;

-
as determined by the Corporation in good faith, to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions contained therein;
-
to make such other provision in regard to matters or questions arising under the indenture or to make any other changes in the provisions of the indenture; provided that such action will not adversely affect the interest of the holders of the Notes in any material respect;
-
to mortgage or pledge to the indenture trustees as security for the Notes any property or assets;
-
to qualify, or maintain the qualification of, the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
-
to comply with the requirements of Canadian laws applicable to trust indentures;
-
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture by a successor trustee;
-
to supplement the indenture to such extent as is necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Notes; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of any holder of a Note or coupon in any material respect;
-
following the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, to supplement any of the provisions of the Notes to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Notes pursuant to the indenture, provided that any such action will not adversely affect the interests of any holder of any Note in any material respect;
-
to set forth the terms of the Notes following a successful remarketing to incorporate the reset interest rate and semi-annual interest payment dates and to eliminate the Notes’ optional redemption provisions; or
-
to conform the terms of the indenture and the Notes to the descriptions thereof contained in specified sections of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 16, 2021 for the Notes, as supplemented by the related pricing term sheet used in connection with the offering of the Equity Units.
With Holder Consent
Under the indenture, supplemental indentures for the purposes of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Notes under the indenture may be entered into by the Corporation and the indenture trustees, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes. However, no such supplemental indenture shall:
-
change the maturity of the Notes, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon or on any overdue principal amount or reduce the principal amount thereof, or change the provisions pursuant to which the rate of interest on the Notes is determined if such change could reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce the minimum rate of interest thereon (if any), or reduce any amount payable upon any redemption thereof, or reduce the amount to be paid at maturity or make the principal thereof or any interest thereon or on any overdue principal amount payable in any coin or currency other than U.S. dollars or impair or affect the right to institute suit for the payment thereof when due without the consent of the holder of each Note so affected;
-
reduce the percentage of Notes, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Notes then outstanding;
-
modify any of the provisions of the indenture relating to modifications, waivers of the Corporation’s compliance with covenants thereunder or direction of the indenture trustees by holders of Notes, except to increase the percentage of holders who must consent thereto or to provide that certain other provisions cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holders of all Notes then outstanding;
-
modify the put right of holders of the Notes upon a failed remarketing in a manner materially adverse to the holders without the consent of the holder of each Note so affected; or
-
modify the remarketing provisions of the Notes in a manner materially adverse to the holders without the consent of the holder of each Note so affected.
For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence does not limit the Corporation’s ability to modify the terms of the Notes in connection with a remarketing that is made in accordance with the terms of the indenture.
S-22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the indenture expressly included solely for the benefit of holders of securities other than the Notes, or which modifies the rights of the holders of securities other than the Notes with respect to such covenant or other provision, will be deemed not to affect the rights under the indenture of the holders of the Notes.
The Corporation may omit to comply with any covenant or condition contained in the indenture (other than its obligations to pay principal and interest pursuant to the terms of the Notes) if holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes waive such compliance.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The indenture provides that, after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at the Corporation’s option, it will be discharged from all obligations in respect of the Notes then outstanding (except for certain obligations to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes, and to maintain paying agencies) if all of the Notes have become due and payable, or are to become due and payable within one year, and the Corporation, in each case, irrevocably deposits in trust with the U.S. indenture trustee money and/or securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States that through the payment of the principal thereof and the interest thereon in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay all of the principal of and interest on the Notes on the Stated Maturity Date in accordance with the terms thereof.
Defeasance
The indenture allows for, after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at the Corporation’s option, legal and/or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes. In order to defease the Notes, the following conditions must be met (subject to certain limitation in the indenture):
-
the Corporation must irrevocably deposit with the U.S. indenture trustee in trust (1) an amount in U.S. dollars, or (2) U.S. government obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Notes, money, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a firm of independent public accountants that is nationally recognized in the United States, to pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Notes, to and including the Stated Maturity of the Notes;
-
such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Corporation is a party or by which it is bound;
-
in the case of legal defeasance, no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to legal defeasance only, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit;
-
the Corporation must deliver to the U.S. indenture trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with;
-
the Corporation must deliver to the U.S. indenture trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of its exercise of its option to defease the Notes, and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred, which opinion of counsel must be based, solely in the case of legal defeasance, upon a ruling of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to the same effect or a change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law or related treasury regulations after the date of the indenture; and
-
the Corporation must deliver an opinion of counsel in Canada or a ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency, in each case, confirming that the holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income or other tax purposes as a result of such discharge and defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income tax and other tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such discharge and defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Title
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Corporation, the indenture trustees and any agent of the Corporation or the indenture trustees may deem and treat the person in whose name such Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not payments in respect of such Note are overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or an account of the principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Corporation nor the indenture trustees nor any agent of the Corporation or the indenture trustees will be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Governing Law
The indenture and the Notes are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof; provided, however, that the exercise, performance or discharge by the Canadian indenture trustee of any of its rights, powers, duties or responsibilities under the indenture or the Notes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
The Indenture Trustees
The U.S. indenture trustee under the indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. and the Canadian indenture trustee is BNY Trust Company of Canada for the Notes. The Corporation and certain of its affiliates maintain banking and credit relationships with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. and its affiliates have purchased, and may purchase in the future, the Corporation’s securities and securities of its affiliates. The indenture trustees are permitted to engage in other transactions with the Corporation. If the indenture trustees acquire any “conflicting interest” as defined under the Trust Indenture Act, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign.
In addition, the U.S. indenture trustee is the registrar and paying agent with respect to the Notes.
Book-Entry Issuance—The Depository Trust Company
The Notes remarketed hereby are issued only in fully registered form and registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One or more fully registered global note certificates will be issued, representing the aggregate total principal amount of the Notes, and will be deposited with the U.S. indenture trustee as custodian for DTC.
Purchases of the Notes under the DTC system must be made by or through direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Notes on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Note (“beneficial owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through which they purchased the Notes. Transfers of ownership interests in the Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect Participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Notes, except as set forth below.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Notes deposited by direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the Notes; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct Participants to whose accounts the Notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct Participants, by direct Participants to indirect Participants, and by direct Participants and indirect Participants to beneficial owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Notices will be sent to DTC.
S-24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Notes unless authorized by a direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the Corporation as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the voting or consenting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct Participants to whose accounts the Notes are credited on the record date. The Corporation believes that these arrangements will enable the beneficial owners to exercise rights equivalent in substance to the rights that can be directly exercised by a registered holder of the Notes.
Payments of principal and interest on the Notes will be made to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee of DTC). DTC’s practice is to credit direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Corporation or the U.S. indenture trustee, on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of each Participant and not of DTC, the U.S. indenture trustee or the Corporation, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or other such nominee of DTC) is the Corporation’s responsibility. Disbursement of such payments to direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect Participants.
In a few special situations described below, a book-entry security representing the Notes will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing the Notes. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to you. You must consult your bank, broker or other financial institution to find out how to have your interests in the Notes transferred to your name, so that you will be a direct holder.
The special situations for termination of a global security representing the Notes are:
-
DTC notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for that global security and no successor depository has been appointed within 90 days after the Corporation’s receipt of such notice;
-
DTC ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the U.S. Exchange Act when DTC is required to be so registered and the Corporation receives notice of such cessation, and no successor depository has been appointed within 90 days after the Corporation’s receipt of such notice or its becoming aware of such cessation; or
-
any Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, or any other event has occurred and is continuing, which after notice or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, and any beneficial owner requests that its beneficial interest be exchanged for a physical certificate.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Notes at any time by giving the Corporation or the indenture trustees reasonable notice. In the event no successor securities depository is obtained, interests in the global notes will be exchanged for physical certificates representing the Notes.
The information in this section concerning DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Corporation believes to be reliable, but neither the Corporation nor the Remarketing Agents take any responsibility for the accuracy of this information.
The indenture trustees shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Note that is issued as a global security, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the holders of the Notes and all payments to be made to the holders of the Notes in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders of the Notes (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Note that is issued as a global security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Note that is issued as a global security shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The indenture trustees may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, Participants and any beneficial owners.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The indenture trustees shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among direct participant of DTC or beneficial owners of interests in any Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, the indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Neither the indenture trustees nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by DTC.
Agreed U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment
Each beneficial owner of a Note, by purchasing a Note, will be deemed to have agreed (unless otherwise required by any taxing authority or a change in applicable law after the date of the purchase in this remarketing) to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes. This position will be binding on each beneficial owner of a Note, but not on the IRS. See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.
REMARKETING
BofA Securities, Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC are acting as the Representatives of each of the Remarketing Agents. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing Agents have severally agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Notes at an aggregate price equal to 100% of the aggregate of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price.
On the Settlement Date, the portion of the proceeds equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price will, except as described below, be used to purchase the Treasury Portfolio and the remaining proceeds attributable to the Notes included in the Corporate Units will be remitted to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution pro rata to the holders of such Corporate Units.
Settlement with respect to the Notes will occur on the Settlement Date, being the second business day following the date on which the Notes are priced (the “Remarketing Date”), unless the Notes are priced after 4:30 p.m. New York City time on the Remarketing Date, in which case the Settlement Date will be the third business day following the Remarketing Date.
In connection with the Remarketing, the Remarketing Agents, in consultation with the Corporation, have reset the rate of interest payable on the Notes to the reset rate of 5.365% per annum. The reset rate, along with the other modifications to the terms of the Notes, as described in this Prospectus Supplement, will be effective upon the Settlement Date.
The “Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price” means the lowest aggregate ask-side price quoted by a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City to the quotation agent selected by the Corporation between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Remarketing Date for the purchase of the Treasury Portfolio for settlement on the remarketing Settlement Date; provided that if the Treasury Portfolio consists of cash, “Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price” means the amount of such cash.
Following the Remarketing and receipt of the proceeds, the Collateral Agent will purchase, at the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price, a “Treasury Portfolio” consisting of:
(1)
U.S. Treasury securities (or principal or interest strips thereof) that mature on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in an aggregate amount at maturity equal to the principal amount of the Notes underlying the undivided beneficial ownership interests in Notes included in the Corporate Units on the Remarketing Date; and
(2)
U.S. Treasury securities (or principal or interest strips thereof) that mature on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in an aggregate amount at maturity equal to the aggregate interest payment (assuming no reset of the interest rate) that would have been paid to the Holders of Corporate Units on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date on the principal amount of the Notes underlying the undivided beneficial ownership interests in Notes included in the Corporate Units on the Remarketing Date.
If U.S. Treasury securities (or principal or interest strips thereof) that are to be included in the Treasury Portfolio in connection with the Remarketing have a yield that is less than zero, the Treasury Portfolio will consist of an amount

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in cash equal to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities described in clauses (1) and (2) above. If the provisions set forth in this paragraph apply, references to a “Treasury security” and “U.S. Treasury securities (or principal or interest strips thereof)” in connection with the Treasury Portfolio will, thereafter, be deemed to be references to such amount in cash.
The applicable undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Treasury Portfolio will be substituted for the undivided beneficial ownership interests in Notes that are components of the Corporate Units and the portion of the Treasury Portfolio described in clause (1) above will be pledged to the Corporation through the Collateral Agent to secure the Corporate Unit holders’ obligation under the Purchase Contracts. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, for each Corporate Unit, $50 of the proceeds from the Treasury Portfolio will automatically be applied to satisfy the Corporate Unit holder’s obligation to purchase Common Shares under the Purchase Contract. In addition, proceeds from the portion of the Treasury Portfolio described in clause (2) above, which will equal the interest payment (assuming no reset of the interest rate) that would have been paid on the Notes that were components of the Corporate Units at the time of the Remarketing, will be paid on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to the Holders of Corporate Units.
We have the right to postpone the Remarketing in our sole and absolute discretion.
Pursuant to the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement dated as of March 26, 2024 by and among the Corporation and the Remarketing Agents, the Remarketing Agents will be entitled to receive a remarketing fee equal to $2.875 million which will be paid by the Corporation directly (and not out of the proceeds of the Remarketing). Holders of Corporate Units will not be responsible for the payment of any remarketing fees or expenses in connection with the Remarketing. The Corporation estimates that its total expenses for the Remarketing, excluding the remarketing fees, will be $1.55 million.
Subject to applicable laws, the Remarketing Agents may, in connection with the Remarketing, effect transactions intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Notes at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
The Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange and have no established trading market. The Corporation has been informed by the Remarketing Agents that they intend to make a market in the Notes, but they are not obligated to do so and may cease market-making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Notes.
The Corporation has agreed to indemnify the Remarketing Agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities laws, or to contribute to payments the Remarketing Agents may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
The Remarketing is being made concurrently in the United States and in each of the provinces and territories of Canada pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system implemented by the SEC and the securities regulatory authorities in Canada. The Notes will be remarketed in the United States and Canada through the U.S. Remarketing Agents and the Canadian Remarketing Agents, respectively. No Notes offered hereunder will be offered or sold in any jurisdiction except by or through brokers or dealers duly registered under the applicable securities laws of that jurisdiction, or in circumstances where an exemption from such registered dealer requirements is available.
Other Relationships
Some of the Remarketing Agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Corporation or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. In particular, affiliates of certain of the Remarketing Agents are lenders under the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ credit facilities for which they have received, and in the future would receive, customary fees.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Remarketing Agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND CERTAIN REMARKETING AGENTS
The Corporation will not directly receive any proceeds from the Remarketing of the Notes. See “Use of Proceeds”.
BofA Securities, Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, National Bank of Canada Financial Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are each affiliates of financial institutions which are lenders (the “Lenders”) to the Corporation, Algonquin Power Co.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (collectively, the “Tax Act”) generally applicable to a purchaser that acquires as beneficial owner Notes pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement, and beneficially owns all payments thereunder, and that at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention, deals at arm’s length with the Corporation and the Remarketing Agents, is not affiliated with the Corporation or the Remarketing Agents, and acquires and holds the Notes as capital property (a “Holder”). Generally, the Notes will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided that the Holder does not use or hold the Notes in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and such Holder 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 on the facts set out in this Prospectus Supplement, the provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, and an understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canda Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) published in writing by the CRA and publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by way of judicial, legislative or governmental decision or action. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and does not take into account other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ materially from those described in this summary.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder or prospective Holder, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any Holder or prospective Holder are made. Consequently, Holders and prospective Holders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them of acquiring Notes pursuant to this offering, having regard to their particular circumstances.
Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Notes, including adjusted cost base, proceeds of disposition, interest and premium (if any) must be determined in Canadian dollars. Any such amount that is expressed or denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars must be converted into Canadian dollars using the relevant exchange rate determined in accordance with the Tax Act. As the Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars a Holder may realize additional income, gains or losses by virtue of fluctuations in exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian dollars.
Holders Resident in Canada
The following portion of this summary is applicable to a Holder that, at all relevant times for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention and at all relevant times, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”). A Resident Holder to whom the Notes might not constitute capital property may make, in certain circumstances, the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have the Notes, and all other “Canadian securities”, as defined in the Tax Act, held by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years, deemed to be capital property. Resident Holders considering making such election should first consult their own tax advisors.
The following portion of this summary does not apply to a Resident Holder (i) that is a “financial institution” for purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) that reports its “Canadian tax results” (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than Canadian currency; (v) that has entered or will enter into, with respect to the Notes, a “derivative forward agreement” or “synthetic disposition arrangement,” each as defined in the Tax Act, or (vi) that is exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in the Notes. In addition, this summary does not address the deductibility of interest by a Resident Holder who has borrowed money or otherwise incurred debt in connection with the acquisition of the Notes.
S-32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest on the Notes
A Resident Holder of a Note that is a corporation, partnership, unit trust or any trust of which a corporation or a partnership is a beneficiary will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any interest on the Note that accrues or is deemed to accrue to the Resident Holder to the end of the particular taxation year or that has become receivable by or is received by the Resident Holder before the end of that taxation year, except to the extent that such interest was included in computing the Resident Holder’s income for a preceding taxation year.
Any other Resident Holder, including an individual (other than certain trusts), will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year all interest on the Note that is received or receivable by the Resident Holder in that taxation year (depending upon the method regularly followed by the Resident Holder in computing its income), except to the extent that the interest was included in the Resident Holder’s income for a preceding taxation year. In addition, if in any taxation year a Note should become an “investment contract” (as defined in the Tax Act) on any “anniversary day” (as defined in the Tax Act) in relation to a Resident Holder (other than a corporation, partnership, unit trust or any trust of which a corporation or a partnership is a beneficiary), such Resident Holder will be required to include in computing income for the taxation year any interest that accrues or is deemed to accrue to the Resident Holder on the Notes up to the end of such anniversary day, to the extent such interest was not otherwise included in the Resident Holder’s income for that year or a preceding taxation year.
A Resident Holder of Notes that throughout the relevant taxation year is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) or, under certain Tax Proposals, a “substantive CCPC” (as defined in the Tax Proposals) at any time in the year may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its “aggregate investment income”, which is defined in the Tax Act to include interest income.
In addition to the remarketing price, the price to the public of the Notes may include an amount in respect of interest that accrued prior to the Remarketing. The amount of interest that accrued prior to the Remarketing may be deducted by a Resident Holder in a taxation year to the extent that the amount was included in the Resident Holder’s income for the taxation year.
Disposition of the Notes
A disposition or deemed disposition by a Resident Holder of a Note, including in particular on repayment of the Note at maturity, generally will result in the Resident Holder realizing a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of such Note (adjusted to exclude any accrued interest as described below) net of any reasonable costs of disposition exceed (or are less than) the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of the Note immediately before the disposition or deemed disposition. Any such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the treatment described under the heading “— Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.
Generally, on a disposition or deemed disposition of a Note, interest accrued thereon to the date of disposition will be included in computing the Resident Holder’s income for the taxation year in which the disposition or deemed disposition occurs except to the extent such amount was otherwise included in the Resident Holder’s income for that taxation year or a preceding taxation year, and such amount will be excluded in computing the Resident Holder’s proceeds of disposition of the Note.
A Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of a Note will generally include any amount paid to acquire the Note. Further, the adjusted cost base of a Note acquired by a Resident Holder pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement will be determined by averaging the cost of such Note with the adjusted cost base of all other Notes that are identical property to such Note for purposes of the Tax Act owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at that time, if any.
Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses
One-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year will be required to be included in computing the Resident Holder’s income for that year, and one half of any such capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized by a Resident Holder must generally be deducted against taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses not deductible in the taxation year in which they are realized may ordinarily be deducted by the Resident Holder against taxable capital gains realized in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any of the three preceding taxation years or any subsequent taxation year, subject to the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act in this regard. Capital gains realized by an individual (other than certain trusts) may be subject to alternative minimum tax. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the possible application of alternative minimum tax.
A Resident Holder of Notes that throughout the relevant taxation year is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) or, under certain Tax Proposals, a “substantive CCPC” (as defined in the Tax Proposals) at any time in the year may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its “aggregate investment income”, which is defined in the Tax Act to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains.
Holders Not Resident in Canada
This part of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder that, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention and at all relevant times, is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Notes in connection with carrying on a business in Canada and deals at arm’s length with and is not a “specified entity” (as defined in proposed subsection 18.4(1) of the Tax Act contained in the Tax Proposals released on November 28, 2023 with respect to “hybrid mismatch arrangements” (the “Hybrid Mismatch Proposals”)) in respect of any transferee resident, or deemed to be resident, in Canada to whom the Holder disposes of, or is deemed to dispose of, a Note (a “Non-Resident Holder”). This discussion does not apply to (a) an insurer who carries on an insurance business or is deemed to carry on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an authorized foreign bank (as defined in the Tax Act) or (b) a Non-Resident Holder that is at any time a “specified shareholder” (as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act) of, or a “specified entity” (as defined in the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals) in respect of the Corporation or that, at any time, does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a “specified shareholder” of the Corporation. Generally, for this purpose, a “specified shareholder” is a person that owns, has a right to acquire or is otherwise deemed to own, either alone or together with persons with whom such person does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, shares of the Corporation’s capital stock that either (i) give the holders of such shares 25% or more of the votes that could be cast at an annual meeting of its shareholders or (ii) have a fair market value of 25% or more of the fair market value of all of the issued and outstanding shares of its capital stock. Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
This summary assumes that no interest paid on the Notes will be in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with whom the Corporation does not deal at arm’s length within the meaning of the Tax Act, and only applies, in respect of the Notes, to a Non-Resident Holder who acquires such Notes as a beneficial owner, including entitlement to all payments thereunder.
This summary does not address the possible application of the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals to a Non-Resident Holder: (a) that disposes of a Note to a person or entity with whom it does not deal at arm’s length or to an entity that is a “specified entity” (as defined in proposed subsection 18.4(1) of the Tax Act contained in the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals) with respect to the Non-Resident Holder or in respect of which the Non-Resident Holder is a “specified entity”; (b) that disposes of a Note under, or in connection with, a “structured arrangement” (as defined in the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals); or (c) in respect of which the Corporation is a “specified entity”. In general, an entity in respect of which the Corporation is a “specified entity” generally includes (i) an entity that is a specified shareholder of the Corporation (as described above), (ii) an entity in which the Corporation (either alone or together with entities with whom the Corporation is not dealing at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act) owns or has the right to acquire or control or is otherwise deemed to own a 25% or greater equity interest, and (iii) an entity in which an entity described in (i) (either alone or together with entities with whom such entity is not dealing at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act) owns or has the right to acquire or control or is otherwise deemed to own a 25% or greater equity interest. Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
This summary assumes that no amount paid or payable under the Notes to a Non-Resident Holder will be the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment arises, within the meaning of proposed paragraph 18.4(3)(b) of the Tax Act contained in the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals.
Under the Tax Act, interest (including amounts on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest), principal and premium, if any, paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, to a Non-Resident Holder on Notes and proceeds received by a Non-Resident Holder on a disposition or deemed disposition of a Note will not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax.
S-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

No other taxes on income (including taxable capital gains) will be payable under the Tax Act in respect of the acquisition, holding, redemption or disposition of Notes or the receipt of interest, premium or principal thereon by a Non-Resident Holder solely as a consequence of such acquisition, holding, redemption or disposition of Notes.
Eligibility for Investment
Provided that the Corporation’s common shares continue to be listed on a “designated stock exchange” in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE), the Notes will be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (“RRSP”), registered education savings plan (“RESP”), registered retirement income fund (“RRIF”), deferred profit sharing plan (except a deferred profit sharing plan to which the Corporation, or an employer that does not deal at arm’s length with the Corporation, within the meaning of the Tax Act, has made a contribution), registered disability savings plan (“RDSP”) tax-free savings account (“TFSA”) or first home savings account (“FHSA”), each as defined in the Tax Act.
Notwithstanding that the Notes may be a qualified investment, if the Notes are a “prohibited investment” (as defined in the Tax Act) the holder of a TFSA, FHSA or RDSP, the annuitant under an RRSP or RRIF, or subscriber of a RESP, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax under the Tax Act. The Notes will generally be a “prohibited investment” if the holder of the TFSA, FHSA or RDSP, the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF, or subscriber of a RESP, as applicable, does not deal at arm’s length with the Corporation for the purposes of the Tax Act, or the holder of the TFSA, FHSA or RDSP, the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF, or subscriber of a RESP, as applicable, has a “significant interest,” within the meaning of the Tax Act, in the Corporation. Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors to ensure that the Notes would not be a prohibited investment for a trust governed by a TFSA, FHSA, RRSP, RRIF, RDSP, or RESP in their particular circumstances.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders (as defined herein) relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes acquired in this remarketing. This summary is limited to beneficial owners who purchase the Notes in this remarketing at their offering price and who hold the Notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address the tax considerations applicable to subsequent purchasers of the Notes. This summary is not a complete analysis of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences relating thereto, nor does it discuss any other U.S. federal tax consequences (such as estate or gift tax consequences) or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences. In addition, this summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Notes by prospective investors in light of their particular circumstances. In particular, this summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to investors subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:
dealers in securities, commodities or currencies, brokers, banks, financial institutions, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income taxes, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, retirement plans, tax-exempt entities or insurance companies;
certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;
U.S. holders of Common Shares whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;
persons holding Equity Units or Common Shares as part of a hedging, integrated, constructive sale, or conversion transaction or a straddle;
partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or investors in such entities);
persons subject to special tax accounting rules, including under Section 451(b) of the Code;
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare contribution tax; or
“controlled foreign corporations” or “passive foreign investment companies” and shareholders in such entities.
The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be subject to different interpretations and may be changed, potentially retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Notes, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are treated as a partner in a partnership holding Notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of Notes.
For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of Notes that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
a trust if (i) it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF ALL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM (INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS) OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE NOTES.
Classification of the Notes
Generally, classification of an obligation as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes is made at the time of the issuance of the obligation. We have treated and will continue to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is possible that the IRS will successfully assert that the Notes are not properly treated as indebtedness, in which case your tax consequences from the ownership and disposition of the Notes may differ from those described below. By acquiring Notes in the remarketing, you will be deemed to have agreed to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Notes will be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Notes
Treatment of the Notes
The Corporation has treated the Notes as “variable rate debt instruments”. The Corporation intends to continue to continue treating the Notes in this manner, and the remainder of this discussion assumes that this treatment will be respected. There are, however, no Treasury regulations, rulings or other authorities that address whether debt instruments that are substantially similar to the Notes should be treated as “variable rate debt instruments,” and therefore the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes is unclear and other characterizations are possible. For example, it is possible that the Notes could be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments.” In that event, U.S. holders would be required to accrue original issue discount (“OID”) income based on the “comparable yield” of the Notes. In general, the comparable yield of the Notes would be the rate at which we would issue a fixed-rate debt instrument with terms and conditions similar to the Notes. It is possible that the comparable yield of the Notes could exceed the stated interest rate, in which case you may be required to include in income amounts in excess of the stated interest payments on the Notes. In addition, if the Notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, any gain that you would recognize upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Notes would generally be treated as ordinary interest income. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisor concerning alternative characterizations and treatments of the Notes.
In addition, in certain circumstances (e.g., as described under “Description of the Notes—Payment of Additional Amounts”) the Corporation may be obligated to pay amounts on the Notes that are in excess of stated interest or principal on the Notes. These potential payments may also implicate the provisions of U.S. Treasury regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments.” The Corporation does not intend to treat the possibility of paying such additional amounts as causing the Notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. It is possible, however, that the IRS may take a contrary position. If the IRS takes a contrary position, the treatment described in the preceding paragraph would apply. The Corporation’s determination that the Notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is binding on you unless you disclose a contrary position to the IRS in the manner that is required by applicable Treasury regulations.
U.S. holders should consult their tax advisor concerning alternative characterizations and treatments of the Notes under the OID rules.
Pre-Acquisition Accrued Interest
The purchase price of the Notes sold in this remarketing will include an amount of interest attributable to interest accrued for the period prior to this remarketing. The Corporation intends to treat the portion of the first interest payment on the Notes equal to the amount of such pre-acquisition accrued interest as a return of such pre-acquisition accrued interest, rather than as an amount payable on the Notes. Assuming this treatment is respected, the portion of the first interest payment on the Notes equal to the pre-acquisition accrued interest will not be treated as taxable interest income and a U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Notes will be reduced by a corresponding amount. This discussion assumes that this treatment will be respected, and references in this discussion to stated interest do not include such portion of the first interest payment equal to the pre-acquisition accrued interest. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax treatment of any pre-acquisition accrued interest on the Notes.
S-37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest Income
Stated interest on the Notes will generally be includible in a U.S. holder’s gross income as ordinary interest at the time the interest is paid or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. holder’s regular method of tax accounting. The amount of interest will include any amounts withheld in respect of Canadian taxes and, without duplication, any additional amounts paid with respect thereto. Interest on the Notes will generally be foreign source income for foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. holder may be eligible, subject to a number of limitations, for a foreign tax credit or deduction against such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability for taxes withheld on the Notes.
Bond Premium
If the amount paid by a U.S. holder for a Note pursuant to this remarketing (excluding any amount attributable to pre-acquisition accrued interest) is greater than its principal amount, such U.S. holder will generally be considered to have purchased the note with “bond premium” in the amount equal to such excess. A U.S. holder generally may be able to elect to amortize this bond premium, using a constant-yield method, over the remaining term of the Note by offsetting the interest income on such note allocable to an accrual period with the premium allocable to such accrual premium. If a U.S. holder makes such an election, such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note will be reduced by the amount of premium amortized. If a U.S. holder does not elect to amortize the premium, the premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss such U.S. holder would otherwise recognize on a disposition of such Note. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations owned or acquired by the U.S. holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year for which the election is made and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the election to amortize bond premium.
Sale, Exchange, Remarketing or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes
Upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a U.S. holder’s interest in the Notes (including upon the remarketing of the Notes), a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by such U.S. holder on such disposition of the U.S. holder’s interest in the Notes and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such interest in the Notes. For purposes of determining gain or loss, the proceeds received by such U.S. holder upon such a disposition will not include any amount properly attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which amount will be taxable as ordinary interest income to the extent not previously included in income by such U.S. holder. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long- term capital gain or loss if, at the time of such disposition, the U.S. holder held such Note for a period of more than one year. Long- term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders are subject to reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Gain recognized by a U.S. holder from a sale or other disposition of a Note will generally be treated as income from U.S. sources for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
Medicare Tax
Certain U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts will be subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of their interest income and net gains from the disposition of Notes. Each U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in the Notes.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information reporting may apply to payments made by the Corporation on, or the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, the Notes, unless the U.S. holder establishes that it is an exempt recipient. In addition, U.S. federal backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 providing such U.S. holder’s correct taxpayer identification number and certifying that such U.S. holder is not subject to backup withholding or otherwise fails to establish an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished timely to the IRS.
The foregoing discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations is for general information purposes only and is not tax or legal advice. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of the notes, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax laws, and of any changes or proposed changes in applicable law.

INTERESTS OF EXPERTS
Certain legal matters in connection with the Remarketing hereunder will be passed upon by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP on behalf of the Corporation with respect to Canadian legal matters, and by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP with respect to U.S. legal matters. Certain legal matters in connection with the Remarketing hereunder will be passed upon on behalf of the Remarketing Agents by Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and Bennett Jones LLP. As of the date hereof, the partners and associates of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, as a group, and Bennett Jones LLP, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the outstanding securities of the Corporation, respectively.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Ernst & Young LLP, the auditors of the Corporation, have confirmed that they are (i) independent with respect to the Corporation within the meaning of the CPA Code of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario and (ii) an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Corporation within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act, the applicable rules and regulations adopted thereunder by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada and its registered and head office is in Canada. Some of the Corporation’s directors and most of the Corporation’s officers, and some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus Supplement, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and a portion of their assets, and a portion of the Corporation’s assets, are located outside the U.S. The Corporation has appointed an agent for service of process in the U.S., but it may be difficult for holders of securities who reside in the U.S. to effect service within the U.S. upon the Corporation or those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. Investors should not assume that a Canadian court would enforce a judgment of a United States court obtained in an action against the Corporation or such other persons predicated on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the U.S. or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Corporation or such persons predicated on the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws.
The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a United States court may be enforceable in Canada if: (a) there is a real and substantial connection between the events, persons and circumstances and the forum in which the United States proceedings occur such that the United States court properly assumed jurisdiction; (b) the United States judgment is final and conclusive and for a sum certain; (c) the defendant was properly served with originating process from the United States court; and (d) the United States law that led to the judgment is not contrary to Canadian public policy, as that term would be applied by a Canadian court. The Corporation has been advised that in normal circumstances, only civil judgments and not other rights arising from United States securities legislation (for example, penal or similar awards made by a court in a regulatory prosecution or proceeding) are enforceable in Canada. The enforceability of a United States judgment in Canada will be subject to the requirements that: (i) an action to enforce the United States judgment must be commenced in the Canadian court within any applicable limitation period; (ii) the Canadian court has discretion to stay or decline to hear an action on the United States judgment if the United States judgment is under appeal, or if there is another subsisting judgment in any jurisdiction relating to the same cause of action as the United States judgment; (iii) the Canadian court will render judgment only in Canadian dollars; and (iv) an action in the Canadian court on the United States judgment may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The enforceability of a United States judgment in Canada will be subject to the following defenses: (i) the United States judgment was obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to the principles of natural justice; (ii) the United States judgment is for a claim which under the law of the applicable Canadian province would be characterized as based on a foreign revenue, expropriatory, penal or other public law; (iii) the enforcement of the United States judgment is contrary to or inconsistent with public policy of the applicable Canadian province or to an order made by the Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain judgments referred to in such statutes; and (iv) the United States judgment has been satisfied or is void or voidable under United States law. The Corporation has also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that there is a substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.

Many of the Renewable Energy Group’s power purchase agreements include annual rate increases. However, a change to the weighted average production levels resulting from higher average production from facilities that earn lower energy rates can result in a lower weighted average energy rate earned by the division as compared to the same period in the prior year. Includes the impacts from the significantly elevated pricing that persisted in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas market over several days as a result of the February 2021 extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S (the “Market Disruption Event”) on the Senate Wind Facility.

HLBV income represents the value of net tax attributes earned by the Renewable Energy Group in the period primarily from electricity generated by certain of its U.S. wind and U.S. solar generation facilities.
Production tax credits (“PTCs”) are earned as wind energy is generated based on a dollar per kW-hr rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Renewable Energy Group’s eligible facilities generated 1,418.4 and 4,419.2 GW-hrs representing approximately $35.5 million and $110.5 million in PTCs earned as compared to 765.4 and 2,600.4 GW-hrs representing $19.1 million and $65.0 million in PTCs earned during the same period in 2020. The majority of the PTCs have been allocated to tax equity investors to monetize the value to the Corporation of the PTCs and other tax attributes which are the primary drivers of HLBV income offset by the return earned by the investor. Some PTCs have been utilized directly by the Corporation to lower its overall effective tax rate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of the date hereof, the Corporation has determined that it qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” under the WKSI Blanket Orders (as defined herein). See “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer”.
The Corporation is a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Purchasers of the Securities should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the U.S.
Purchasers of the Securities should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities may have tax consequences both in the U.S. and in Canada.

Purchasers of the Securities should read the tax discussion contained in the applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering of Securities and consult their own tax advisors.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada, that most of its officers and some of its directors are residents of Canada and that a portion of the assets of the Corporation and said persons are located outside the U.S. See “Enforcement of Certain Civil Liabilities”.
NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) NOR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATOR HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

A Prospectus Supplement may include specific variable terms pertaining to the Securities that are not within the alternatives and parameters described in this Prospectus.
Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.
This Prospectus does not qualify for issuance any Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items.

The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
In this section, “the Corporation” refers only to Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. and not the direct or indirect subsidiary entities of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. or partnership interests held by Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. or its subsidiary entities.
The following describes certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities. The particular terms and provisions of a series of Debt Securities offered pursuant to any Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to such Debt Securities, will be described in the Prospectus Supplement filed in respect of such Debt Securities.
The Debt Securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Corporation and will be senior or subordinated indebtedness of the Corporation as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Debt Securities may be offered separately or together with other Securities. The Debt Securities will be issued under one or more indentures (each, a “Trust Indenture”) in each case between the Corporation and a trustee (or a U.S. trustee and a Canadian co-trustee) (an “Indenture Trustee”), determined by the Corporation in accordance with applicable laws. Any Debt Securities offered or sold to persons in the U.S. pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued under a Trust Indenture substantially in the form of one of the Trust Indentures filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Corporation’s registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. A copy of any Trust Indenture or supplement thereto entered into by the Corporation will be filed with securities regulatory authorities and will be available on the Corporation’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com. The statements made below relating to the Trust Indenture and the Debt Securities to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof, are not complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Trust Indenture.
The Corporation conducts its business primarily through its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the ability of the Corporation to meet its obligations under the Debt Securities is dependent primarily on the earnings and cash flows of those subsidiaries and the ability of those subsidiaries to pay dividends or to advance or repay funds to the Corporation. The Corporation’s subsidiaries are separate legal entities and have no independent obligation to pay dividends. Prior to paying dividends, the subsidiaries have financial obligations that must be satisfied, including among others, their operating expenses and obligations to creditors. Furthermore, subsidiaries which are regulated utilities are required by regulation to maintain a minimum equity-to-total capital ratio that may restrict their ability to pay dividends to the Corporation or may require that the Corporation contribute capital. In the future, laws or regulations may be enacted that prohibit or further restrict the ability of the subsidiaries to pay upstream dividends or to repay intercorporate indebtedness. In addition, the rights that the Corporation and its creditors would have to participate in the assets of any such subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors. Certain subsidiaries have incurred substantial amounts of debt in the operation and expansion of their businesses, and it is anticipated that certain subsidiaries will continue to do so in the future.
Holders of Debt Securities will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debt holders, secured creditors, taxing authorities, guarantee holders and any holders of preference or preferred shares. In addition to trade debt, certain operating subsidiaries have ongoing corporate debt programs used to finance their business activities. The Debt Securities will be effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured obligations to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations. The Debt Securities will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities and any preference or preferred shares of the Corporation’s subsidiaries.
Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the Trust Indentures will not limit the amount of indebtedness or preference or preferred shares issuable by the Corporation or its subsidiaries.
The following description of the Debt Securities is only a summary and is not intended to be comprehensive. For additional information you should refer to the Trust Indenture under which such Debt Securities are issued.
General
The Trust Indentures will not limit the amount of Debt Securities that may be issued thereunder. The Corporation may issue Debt Securities from time to time under a Trust Indenture in one or more series by entering into supplemental indentures or by its board of directors or a duly authorized committee authorizing the issuance. The Debt Securities of a series need not be issued at the same time, bear interest at the same rate or mature on the same date.

Each purchaser of Securities will receive a customer confirmation of purchase from the registered dealer from which the Securities are purchased in accordance with the practices and procedures of that registered dealer. The practices of registered dealers may vary, but generally customer confirmations are issued promptly after execution of a customer order. The depository will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for its participants having interests in the Securities. Reference in this Prospectus to a holder of Securities means, unless the context requires otherwise, the owner of the beneficial interest in the Securities.
If the Corporation determines, or the depository notifies the Corporation in writing, that the depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Securities and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor, or if the Corporation at its option elects, or is required by law, to terminate the book-entry system, then the Securities will be issued in fully registered form to holders or their nominees.
Transfer, Conversion or Redemption of Securities
Transfer of ownership, conversion or redemption of Securities will be effected through records maintained by the depository or its nominee for such Securities with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants with respect to interests of persons other than participants. Holders who desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of or other interests in the Securities may do so only through participants.
The ability of a holder to pledge a Security or otherwise take action with respect to such holder’s interest in a Security (other than through a participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.
Payments and Notices
Payments of principal, redemption price, if any, dividends and interest, as applicable, on each Security will be made by the Corporation to the depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the Security and the Corporation understands that such payments will be credited by the depository or its nominee in the appropriate amounts to the relevant participant. Payments to holders of Securities of amounts so credited will be the responsibility of the participants.
As long as the depository or its nominee is the registered holder of the Securities, the depository or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner of the Securities for the purposes of receiving notices or payments on the Securities. In such circumstances, the responsibility and liability of the Corporation in respect of notices or payments on the Securities is limited to giving or making payment of any principal, redemption price, if any, dividends and interest due on the Securities to the depository or its nominee.
Each holder must rely on the procedures of the depository and, if such holder is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights with respect to the Securities. The Corporation understands that under existing industry practices, if the Corporation requests any action of holders or if a holder desires to give any notice or take any action which a registered holder is entitled to give or take with respect to the Securities, the depository would authorize the participant acting on behalf of the holder to give such notice or to take such action, in accordance with the procedures established by the depository or agreed to from time to time by the Corporation, any Indenture Trustee, warrant agent, subscription receipt agent, collateral agent, purchase contract agent or custodial agent and depository. Any holder that is not a participant must rely on the contractual arrangement it has directly, or indirectly through its financial intermediary, with its participant to give such notice or take such action.

The Corporation and/or selling securityholders may sell Securities (i) to or through underwriters, dealers or agents or (ii) directly to one or more purchasers. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale (including, without limitation, sales deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX and the NYSE or other existing trading markets for the Securities), at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for the Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Corporation and/or selling securityholders. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.
The Prospectus Supplement for any of the Securities being offered thereby will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of such Securities, the proceeds to the Corporation and/or selling securityholders from such sale, any underwriting discounts or commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid by any underwriter to other dealers.

The obligations of the underwriters to purchase such Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Securities offered pursuant to the applicable Prospectus Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents may be changed from time to time.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, any agent is acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
The Corporation and/or selling securityholders may agree to pay the underwriters or agents a commission for various services relating to the issue and sale of any Securities offered hereby. Any such commission payable by the Corporation will be paid out of the general corporate funds of the Corporation. Underwriters, remarketing firms and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation and/or selling securityholders to indemnification by the Corporation against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act and Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, remarketing firms or agents may be required to make in respect thereof.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Share Purchase Contracts, Share Purchase or Equity Units and Units will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market.

Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. Any underwriters or agents to or through whom Securities are sold by the Corporation and/or selling securityholders may make a market in the Securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.

WELL-KNOWN SEASONED ISSUER
On December 6, 2021, the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada each independently adopted a series of substantively harmonized blanket orders, including Ontario Instrument 44-501 – Exemption from Certain Prospectus Requirements for Well-known Seasoned Issuers (Interim Class Order), as extended by OSC Rule 44-502 – Extension To Ontario Instrument 44-501 Certain Prospectus Requirements For Well-Known Seasoned Issuers and equivalent local blanket orders in each of the other provinces and territories of Canada (as extended, amended or varied, collectively, the “WKSI Blanket Orders”) which came into force on January 4, 2022. This Prospectus has been filed by the Corporation in reliance upon the WKSI Blanket Orders, which permit “well-known seasoned issuers” (as such term is defined in the WKSI Blanket Orders), or “WKSIs”, to file a final short form base shelf prospectus as the first public step in an offering, and exempt qualifying issuers from certain disclosure requirements relating to such final short form base shelf prospectus. As of the date hereof, the Corporation has determined that it qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” under the WKSI Blanket Orders.
EXEMPTIONS
During the second quarter of 2021, the Corporation completed an offering of 23,000,000 Equity Units for total gross proceeds of US$1.15 billion. Each Equity Unit was issued in a stated amount of US$50 and initially consisted of a contract to purchase Common Shares (the “Purchase Contracts”) and a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Remarketable Notes. Pursuant to the Purchase Contracts, holders are required to purchase Common Shares from the Corporation on June 15, 2024 (the “Purchase Contract Settlement Date”).
21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Remarketable Notes are pledged to the Corporation to secure the payment obligation under the related Purchase Contracts and the purchase price payable to the Corporation on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date is generally expected to be paid on behalf of the holders of Equity Units (each, a “Unitholder”) through the resale of the Remarketable Notes by way of a remarketing, conducted by the Corporation and remarketing agents engaged by the Corporation, on behalf of the holders of the Remarketable Notes who elect to participate (the “Participating Securityholders”).
Unless a Termination Event (as defined in the purchase contract and pledge agreement dated June 23, 2021 between the Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.) has occurred, the Corporation may elect, at its option, to remarket the Remarketable Notes over a period selected by the Corporation that begins on or after March 13, 2024 and ends any time on or before May 30, 2024 (any such remarketing, an “Optional Remarketing”). Unless there has been a successful Optional Remarketing, the Remarketable Notes will be remarketed in June of 2024 (any such remarketing, a “Final Remarketing” and in either case, a “Remarketing”).
Participating Securityholders may qualify as a “selling securityholders” under applicable Canadian securities laws, including applicable prospectus requirements, however, the Corporation identified a number of practical impediments to complying with such prospectus requirements in the event of a Remarketing conducted by way of a Canadian prospectus, including notably that beneficial interests in the Equity Units are widely held through the Depository Trust Company. Accordingly, the Corporation has applied for, and obtained, exemptive relief from Canadian securities regulators from the following disclosure and filing requirements under National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions (“NI 44-101”) and Form 44-101F1 Short Form Prospectus (“Form 44-101F1”) to the extent (and only to the extent) such requirements are applicable to Participating Securityholders as selling securityholders in a Remarketing conducted by way of a Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus (a “Remarketing Prospectus Supplement”):
(a)
the requirement under paragraph 4.2(a)(vi) NI 44-101 to file, at the time of filing this Prospectus, a submission to jurisdiction and appointment of agent for service of process of any Participating Securityholder which is (i) incorporated or organized under a foreign jurisdiction and does not have an office in Canada or (ii) an individual who resides outside of Canada; and
(b)
the disclosure requirements applicable to Participating Securityholders in a distribution pursuant to a Remarketing Prospectus Supplement as set out in:
subsection 1.6(1) of Form 44-101F1;
subsection 1.6(6) of Form 44-101F1;
subsection 1.6(7) of Form 44-101F1;
section 1.11 of Form 44-101F1;
section 4.1 of Form 44-101F1;
item 8 of Form 44-101F1; and
section 14.1(1) of Form 44-101F1 and National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada and its registered and head office is in Canada. Some of the Corporation’s directors and most of the Corporation’s officers, and some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and a portion of their assets, and a portion of the Corporation’s assets, are located outside the U.S. The Corporation has appointed an agent for service of process in the U.S. but it may be difficult for holders of Securities who reside in the U.S. to effect service within the U.S. upon the Corporation or those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. Investors should not assume that a Canadian court would enforce a judgment of a U.S. court obtained in an action against the Corporation or such other persons predicated on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the U.S. or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Corporation or such persons predicated on the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws.
The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a United States court may be enforceable in Canada if: (a) there is a real and substantial connection between the events, persons and circumstances and the forum in which the United States proceedings occur such that the United States court properly assumed jurisdiction; (b) the United States judgment is final and conclusive and for a sum certain; (c) the defendant was properly served with originating process from the United States court; and (d) the United States law that led to the judgment is not contrary to Canadian public policy, as that term would be applied by a Canadian court. The Corporation has been advised that in normal circumstances, only civil judgments and not other rights arising from United States securities legislation (for example, penal or similar awards made by a court in a regulatory prosecution or proceeding) are enforceable in Canada. The enforceability of a United States judgment in Canada will be subject to the requirements that: (i) an action to enforce the United States judgment must be commenced in the Canadian court within any applicable limitation period; (ii) the Canadian court has discretion to stay or decline to hear an action on the United States judgment if the United States judgment is under appeal, or if there is another subsisting judgment in any jurisdiction relating to the same cause of action as the United States judgment; (iii) the Canadian court will render judgment only in Canadian dollars; and (iv) an action in the Canadian court on the United States judgment may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The enforceability of a United States judgment in Canada will be subject to the following defenses: (i) the United States judgment was obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to the principles of natural justice; (ii) the United States judgment is for a claim which under the law of the applicable Canadian province would be characterized as based on a foreign revenue, expropriatory, penal or other public law; (iii) the enforcement of the United States judgment is contrary to or inconsistent with public policy of the applicable Canadian province or to an order made by the Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain judgments referred to in such statutes; and (iv) the United States judgment has been satisfied or is void or voidable under United States law. The Corporation has also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that there is a substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.
The Corporation filed with the SEC, concurrently with its registration statement on Form F-10, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Corporation appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in the U.S. in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a U.S. court arising out of or related to or concerning an offering of Securities under this Prospectus.
