EMERA RENEWS AT-THE-MARKET EQUITY PROGRAM
Emera Inc. has renewed its at-the-market (ATM) equity program that allows the company to issue up to $600-million of common shares from treasury to the public from time to time at varying prices, at the company's discretion. Any common shares sold in the ATM program will be sold through the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, or any other marketplace on which the common shares are listed, quoted or otherwise traded at the time of sale.
The ATM program continues to provide Emera with additional financing flexibility should it be required in the future. The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM program, if any, will be determined at the company's sole discretion. The company has entered into an equity distribution agreement dated Dec. 5, 2025, with BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc. as Canadian agents, and BMO Capital Markets Corp., RBC Capital Markets LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. as U.S. agents. Distributions of the common shares through the ATM program will be made pursuant to the terms of the equity distribution agreement. The ATM program will be effective until Jan. 5, 2029, unless terminated prior to such date by the company or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the equity distribution agreement. Emera intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM program, if any, for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the renewal of the ATM program, the company has filed: (a) a prospectus supplement dated Dec. 5, 2025, to the company's Canadian short form base shelf prospectus filed today with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada; and (b) a prospectus supplement dated Dec. 5, 2025, to the company's U.S. base prospectus included in its U.S. registration statement on Form F-10 filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
