<u>*New Issue and/or Secondary Offering*</u> December 9, 2025

![LOGO](g938159g04a04.jpg)

## TRANSALTA CORPORATION
**Common Shares** 

**First Preferred Shares** 

**Warrants** 

**Subscription Receipts** 

**Debt Securities** 

**Units** 

We may from time to time, during the 37-month period that this short form base shelf prospectus, including any amendments hereto (the "**Prospectus**") remains valid, offer and issue: (i) common shares ("**Common Shares**"); (ii) first preferred shares ("**First Preferred Shares**"); (iii) warrants to purchase Common Shares, First Preferred Shares or other securities ("**Warrants**"); (iv) subscription receipts that entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon satisfaction of certain release conditions, and for no additional consideration, securities ("**Subscription Receipts**"); (v) debt securities, which may consist of debentures, notes or other types of debt and may be issuable in one or more series ("**debt securities**"); (vi) units ("**units**") comprised of one or more of such securities (the Common Shares, First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities and units are collectively referred to herein as the "**Securities**"); or (vii) any combination of Securities. Eagle Hydro II LP ("**Eagle Hydro II**") or certain other affiliates of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. ("**Brookfield**" and collectively, the "**Selling Shareholde**r") may also offer and sell Common Shares from time to time pursuant to this Prospectus. See "*Selling Shareholder*".

The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions and other factors. The specific terms of any offering of Securities will be set forth in one or more prospectus supplements (each, a "**Prospectus Supplement**"). We reserve the right to include in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms pertaining to the Securities being offered that are not within the options and parameters set forth in this Prospectus, provided that such Securities will not be specified derivatives or asset-backed securities. You should read this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement carefully before you invest in any Securities.

All information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that, together with this Prospectus, will be delivered to purchasers of the applicable Securities, except where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the applicable Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the applicable Prospectus Supplement pertains.

Our outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("**TSX**") under the symbol "TA" and on the New York Stock Exchange ("**NYSE**") under the symbol "TAC". On December 8, 2025, the last completed trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX and the NYSE was $19.56 and US$14.12, respectively. Our outstanding First Preferred Shares, other than our redeemable first preferred shares, Series I, are listed on the TSX. Our cumulative redeemable rate reset first preferred shares, Series A ("**Series A Shares**"), our cumulative redeemable floating rate first preferred shares, Series B ("**Series B Shares**"), our cumulative redeemable rate reset first preferred shares, Series C ("**Series C**

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
 **Shares**"), our cumulative redeemable floating rate first preferred shares, Series D ("**Series D Shares**"), our cumulative redeemable rate reset first preferred shares, Series E ("**Series E Shares**") and our cumulative redeemable rate reset first preferred shares, Series G ("**Series G Shares**") are listed and traded on the TSX under the symbols "TA.PR.D", "TA.PR.E", "TA.PR.F", "TA.PR.G", "TA.PR.H" and "TA.PR.J", respectively. On December 8, 2025, the last completed trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing prices of the Series A Shares, the Series B Shares, the Series C Shares, the Series D Shares, the Series E Shares and the Series G Shares on the TSX were $19.81, $19.93, $24.74, $24.24, $25.56 and $25.84, respectively. **Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities and units will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange. There is currently no market through which additional series of First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities or units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See "*Plan of Distribution*" and "*Risk Factors*".**

We may offer and sell the Securities and the Selling Shareholder may offer and sell Common Shares to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, directly to one or more purchasers or through agents. See "*Plan of Distribution*". This Prospectus may qualify an "at-the-market distribution" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – *Shelf Distributions* ("**NI 44-102**"). The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged by TransAlta in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, or by the Selling Shareholder in connection with the offering and sale of Common Shares, as applicable, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the method of distribution, the proceeds to us and/or the Selling Shareholder and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to the underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.

**No underwriter, dealer or agent has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.** 

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or fixed prices, or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers at the time of sale, including sales in transactions that are "at-the-market distributions", including sales made directly on the TSX, the NYSE or other existing trading markets for the Securities, and as set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The prices at which Securities may be offered may vary between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If Securities are offered on a non-fixed price basis, the underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters, dealers or agents to us and/or the Selling Shareholder, as applicable. **See "*Plan of Distribution*"**.

In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters, dealers or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. See "*Plan of Distribution*".

Investing in the Securities involves risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider these risks before purchasing Securities. See "*Risk Factors*".

**We are permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States ("U.S."), to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the U.S. In addition, we prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies.**

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Prospective investors should be aware that the purchase of Securities may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the U.S. This Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully. Prospective investors should carefully review the tax disclosure, if any, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and in any event consult with a tax adviser.** 

**Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that we are incorporated under the laws of Canada, that some or all of our officers and directors may be residents of Canada, that some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus may be residents of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the U.S. See "*Enforceability of Civil Liabilities*".** 

**THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.** 

As of December 8, 2025, TransAlta has qualifying public equity (as defined in NI 44-102) of $5,923,709,715 and therefore qualifies as a "well-known seasoned issuer" under NI 44-102.

Alan J. Fohrer, Laura W. Folse and Thomas M. O'Flynn are directors of the Corporation who reside outside of Canada and each of these directors has appointed TransAlta as agent for service of process at Suite 1400, 1100 – 1st Street SE, Calgary, Alberta T2G 1B1. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person who resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

The head and registered office of TransAlta is located at Suite 1400, 1100 – 1st Street SE, Calgary, Alberta T2G 1B1.

**DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL** 

**General** 

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation's authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of First Preferred Shares, issuable in series.

**Common Shares** 

The following is a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the Common Shares.

Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote for each Common Share held at all meetings of shareholders of the Corporation, except meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series of shares are entitled to vote, to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation (the "**Board**"), subject to prior satisfaction of preferential dividends applicable to any First Preferred Shares, and to participate rateably in any distribution of the assets of the Corporation upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to prior rights and privileges attaching to the First Preferred Shares. The Common Shares are not convertible and are not entitled to any pre-emptive rights. The Common Shares are not entitled to cumulative voting.

**First Preferred Shares** 

The following is a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the First Preferred Shares.

TransAlta is authorized to issue an unlimited number of First Preferred Shares, issuable in series and, with respect to each series, the Board is authorized to fix the number of shares comprising the series and determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to such shares, subject to certain limitations.

The First Preferred Shares of all series rank senior to all other shares of TransAlta with respect to priority in payment of dividends and with respect to distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or a reduction of stated capital. Holders of First Preferred Shares are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends on the subscription price thereof as and when declared by the Board at the rate established by the Board at the time of issue of shares of a series. No dividends may be declared or paid on any other shares of TransAlta unless all cumulative dividends accrued upon all outstanding First Preferred Shares have been paid or declared and set apart. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or a reduction of stated capital, no sum shall be paid or assets distributed to holders of other shares of the Corporation until the holders of First Preferred Shares shall have been paid the subscription price of their shares, plus a sum equal to the premium payable on a redemption, plus a sum equal to the arrears of dividends accumulated on the First Preferred Shares to the date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding up, or reduction of stated capital, as applicable. After payment of such amount, the holders of First Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to share further in the distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

The Board may include in the share conditions attaching to a particular series of First Preferred Shares certain voting rights effective upon the Corporation failing to make payment of six quarterly dividend payments, whether or not consecutive. These voting rights continue for so long as any dividends remain in arrears. These voting rights are the right to one vote for each $25 of subscription price on all matters in respect of which

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
shareholders vote, and additionally, the right of all series of First Preferred Shares, voting as a combined class, to elect two directors of the Corporation if the Board then consists of less than 16 directors, or three directors if the Board consists of 16 or more directors. Otherwise, except as required by law, the holders of First Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote or to receive notice of or to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of TransAlta.

Subject to the share conditions attaching to any particular series providing to the contrary, TransAlta may redeem First Preferred Shares of a series, in whole or from time to time in part, at the redemption price applicable to each series and has the right to acquire any of the First Preferred Shares of one or more series by purchase for cancellation in the open market or by invitation for tenders at a price not to exceed the redemption price applicable to the series.

Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Demand Registration, the Corporation will promptly file a Prospectus Supplement in order to permit the offer and sale or other disposition or distribution in Canada of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held, directly or indirectly, by the Holder (a "**Demand Offering**"). The Corporation will not be obligated to effect: (i) more than three Demand Offerings in total during the term of the Registration Rights Agreement; or (ii) a Demand Offering if the Registrable Securities have an aggregate market price of less than $50 million.

If at any time the Corporation proposes to file a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the distribution of any Common Shares to the public, then the Corporation will give notice of the proposed distribution to each Holder not less than five business days in advance of the anticipated filing date of the Prospectus Supplement (or, in the case of a "bought deal" or another public offering which is not expected to include a road show, such notice as is practicable under the circumstances), which notice will offer each Holder the opportunity to qualify for distribution such number of Registrable Securities as such Holder may request. The Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such Prospectus Supplement such Registrable Securities (a "**Piggy Back Offering**"), unless the Corporation's managing underwriter or underwriters determine, in good faith, that including such Registrable Securities in the distribution would, in their opinion, adversely affect the Corporation's distribution or sales price of the Securities being offered by the Corporation.

The Demand Offerings and Piggy Back Offerings are subject to various conditions and limitations. The Corporation is entitled to defer any Demand Offering in certain circumstances, including during a regular annual and quarterly blackout period in respect of the release of its financial results.

The Registration Rights Agreement includes provisions providing for each of the Corporation and the Holders to indemnify each other for losses or claims caused by the applicable party's inclusion of a misrepresentation in disclosure included in any prospectus and for breaches of applicable securities laws.

In the case of a Prospectus Supplement filed in connection with a Demand Offering or Piggy Back Offering, the Corporation will pay all applicable fees and expenses incidental to the Corporation's performance of, or compliance with, the terms of such offering, provided that in the event any Registrable Securities are freely tradeable at the time that the Corporation receives the offering request, the Corporation and the Holders will be jointly and severally responsible for the proportionate share of registration fees and expenses of any Holders based on the total offering price of the freely tradeable securities sold by the Holders to the total offering price of all the Securities sold by the Corporation in such offering. The Corporation and the Holders will be jointly and severally responsible for paying all selling expenses (including fees or commissions payable to an underwriter, investment banker, manager or agent and any transfer taxes attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities) with respect to Registrable Securities sold by the Holders and the Corporation will pay all selling expenses with respect to any Securities sold for the account of the Corporation. The Corporation and the Holders will be solely responsible on a joint and several basis for all out-of- pocket expenses incurred by any Holders in connection with a Demand Offering or Piggy Back Offering.

If a Holder ceases to be an affiliate of Brookfield, the Holder will cease to have any rights or obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate when Brookfield, together with its affiliates, beneficially owns in the aggregate less than 3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

We may offer and sell the Securities and the Selling Shareholder may, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, offer and sell Common Shares: (i) to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals; (ii) directly to purchasers; (iii) through agents; or (iv) through a combination of any of these methods of sale. These Securities may be offered and sold in Canada and/or the U.S. and elsewhere where permitted by law.

The distribution of the Securities of any series may be effected 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, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers at the time of sale, including sales in transactions that are "at-the-market distributions", including sales made directly on the TSX, the NYSE or other existing trading markets for the Securities, and as set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The prices at which Securities may be offered may vary between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If Securities are offered on a non-fixed price basis, the underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters, dealers or agents to us and/or the Selling Shareholder, as applicable.

In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from the Corporation, the Selling Shareholder or from other parties, including in the form of underwriters', dealers or agents' fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and any such compensation received by them from the Corporation and/or the Selling Shareholder and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the U.S. Securities Act.

The Prospectus Supplement relating to each distribution of Securities will also set forth the terms of the offering of the Securities, including to the extent applicable, the initial offering price, the net proceeds to the Corporation and/or the Selling Shareholder from the offering, the underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation, any other discount or selling concession to be allowed or re-allowed to underwriters or dealers and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. Any underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to a particular offering of Securities will be named in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering.

In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters, dealers or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter of, or dealer or agent involved in, an "at-the- market distribution" under this Prospectus, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with any such underwriter, dealer or agent, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or securities of the same class as the Securities distributed under the Prospectus Supplement applicable to the "at-the-market distribution", including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter, dealer or agent, as applicable, creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.

Under agreements which may be entered into by the Corporation and/or the Selling Shareholder, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Corporation and/or the Selling Shareholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the securities legislation of each of the provinces of Canada and under the U.S. Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof.

If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we may authorize dealers or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the Securities directly from us pursuant to contracts

providing for payment and delivery on a future date. These contracts will be subject only to the conditions set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, which will also set forth the commission payable for solicitation of these contracts.

Each distribution of First Preferred Shares (other than Series A Shares, Series B Shares, Series C Shares, Series D Shares, Series E Shares or Series G Shares), Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities or units will, unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, such First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities or units will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. This may affect the pricing of such First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities or units in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. Certain broker-dealers may make a market in such Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any broker dealer will make a market in any such Securities or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for any such Securities.

**RISK FACTORS** 

Before deciding to invest in any Securities, prospective purchasers of the Securities should consider carefully the risk factors and other information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. An investment in the Securities is subject to various risks including those risks inherent to the industries in which TransAlta operates. If any of the events contemplated by these risk factors occurs, TransAlta's business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially harmed, which could adversely affect the value of the Securities. In addition to the risk factors set forth below, information regarding the risks affecting the Corporation and its business is provided in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including in the Annual MD&A under the heading "*Governance and Risk Management*".

**Changes in interest rates may cause the value of the debt securities or the First Preferred Shares to decline** 

Prevailing interest rates will affect the market price or value of the debt securities and the First Preferred Shares. The market price or value of the debt securities or the First Preferred Shares may decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.

**Credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the debt securities or the First Preferred Shares and may change** 

Credit ratings may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in the debt securities or the First Preferred Shares. Any credit ratings assigned to the debt securities or the First Preferred Shares are an assessment of the Corporation's ability to pay its obligations thereunder. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in the credit ratings in respect of the debt securities, First Preferred Shares or other debt of TransAlta could have an adverse impact on our liquidity, our cost of funds and any of our agreements that refer to our credit ratings and will generally affect the market value of the debt securities and the First Preferred Shares. The credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to structure, market or other factors discussed herein on the value of the debt securities or the First Preferred Shares. There is no assurance that any credit rating assigned to the debt securities or the First Preferred Shares 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.

**The Common Shares or other listed Securities may be subject to price and volume fluctuations, and the market price for the Common Shares or other listed Securities, as applicable, following an offering may drop below the offering price** 

In recent years, securities markets have experienced considerable price and volume volatility, and the volatility in the trading price of the Common Shares and the First Preferred Shares was at times unrelated to the financial or operating performance of TransAlta and not necessarily determined solely by reference to the underlying value of TransAlta's assets. The market price of publicly traded securities is affected by many variables, including the strength of the economy generally, interest rates, credit ratings, commodity prices, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments and the breadth of the public market for the securities. The effect of these and other factors on the market prices of the Common Shares and First Preferred Shares on the stock exchanges on which such Securities trade suggests that the future trading prices of the Common Shares and other listed Securities may be volatile. The market price for such Securities may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of TransAlta. These fluctuations may affect the price of the Common Shares or other listed Securities following an offering, and the market price of the Common Shares or other listed Securities, as applicable, may drop below the offering price. As a result of this volatility, holders may not be able to sell their Common Shares or other listed Securities at or above the offering price. TransAlta cannot predict at what price the Common Shares or other listed Securities issued by TransAlta will trade in the future.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**The decision to pay dividends and the amount of such dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board based on numerous factors and may vary from time to time** 

The declaration and payment of cash dividends to holders of Common Shares or First Preferred Shares are not guaranteed. Although TransAlta currently intends to pay quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders, these cash dividends may be reduced or suspended. The amount of cash available to TransAlta to pay dividends, if any, can vary significantly from period to period for a number of reasons, including, among other things: TransAlta's financial and operational performance; fluctuations in operating costs; the amount of cash required or retained for debt service or repayment; amounts required to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements; access to equity markets; foreign exchange rates and interest rates; and the risk factors set forth herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

The decision whether or not to pay dividends and the amount of any such dividends are subject to the discretion of the Board, which regularly evaluates TransAlta's proposed dividend payments and the solvency test requirements of the *Canada Business Corporations Act*. In addition, the level of dividends per Common Share will be affected by the number of outstanding Common Shares and other securities that may be entitled to receive cash dividends or other payments, such as First Preferred Shares. Dividends may be increased, reduced or suspended depending on TransAlta's operational and financial performance, as well as the other factors discussed above. The market value of certain Securities may deteriorate if TransAlta is unable to meet dividend expectations in the future, and such deterioration may be material.

**TransAlta may issue additional Securities in the future which may dilute the holdings of existing securityholders, including holders of Securities purchased hereunder, or which may have priority over existing securityholders** 

TransAlta may issue additional Securities, including upon the exercise of the Corporation's outstanding options and other convertible securities, which may dilute existing securityholders, including purchasers of Securities offered hereunder. TransAlta may also issue debt securities that have priority over holders of other Securities with respect to payment in the event of an insolvency or winding-up of TransAlta. Securityholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with any such further issuances. The Board has the discretion to determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to any series of First Preferred Shares, the price and terms of any debt securities and the price and terms for any issuances of Common Shares, First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities and units.

In addition, any resale by the Selling Shareholder of its Common Shares, or the perception that such resales may occur, whether pursuant to this Prospectus or otherwise, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Shares.

**There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities or units or that a trading market for such Securities will develop** 

There is currently no market through which First Preferred Shares (other than Series A Shares, Series B Shares, Series C Shares, Series D Shares, Series E Shares or Series G Shares), Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities or units may be sold and the purchasers of such Securities may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop for any of such First Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, debt securities or units that may be issued under this Prospectus and the relevant Prospectus Supplement(s) or that any secondary market which does develop will continue. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, if any, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities and the extent of regulation of such Securities.

The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between TransAlta and the underwriters, dealers, agents or purchasers, as applicable, based on several factors and may bear no relationship

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
to the prices at which such Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See "*Plan of Distribution*".

**The debt securities will be effectively subordinated to certain indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries which do not guarantee the debt securities** 

We carry on a substantial portion of our business through subsidiaries and a substantial portion of our assets is held in our subsidiaries. Our results of operations and ability to service indebtedness, including the debt securities, are substantially dependent upon the results of operations of these subsidiaries and the payment of funds by these subsidiaries to us in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. However, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to a specific issue of debt securities, the debt securities will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The creditors of our subsidiaries will have the right to be paid before any cash is distributed by those subsidiaries to TransAlta, which may impair TransAlta's ability to make payment on the debt securities. In the event of the liquidation of any subsidiary, the assets of the subsidiary would be used first to repay the subsidiary's indebtedness, including trade payables or obligations under any guarantees, prior to being used by us to pay our indebtedness, including any debt securities. Consequently, the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries.

**The debt securities will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to any of our secured indebtedness** 

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to a specific issue of debt securities, the debt securities will be direct unsecured debt of TransAlta, and will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured debt of TransAlta, to the extent of the assets securing such debt. If TransAlta is involved in any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization, the holders of secured debt would be paid before the holders of debt securities receive any amounts due under the debt securities to the extent of the value of the assets securing the secured debt. In that event, a holder of debt securities may not be able to recover any principal or interest due to it under the debt securities.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES** 

TransAlta is a corporation organized under and governed by the *Canada Business Corporations Act*. Some of the directors and officers of the Corporation, and some of the experts named in this Prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the U.S., and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial 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 those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. It may also be difficult for holders of Securities who reside in the U.S. to realize in the U.S. upon judgments of courts of the U.S. predicated upon the Corporation's civil liability and the civil liability of the directors and officers of the Corporation and experts under U.S. federal securities laws.

The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. The Corporation has also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, however, that there is real 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 TransAlta Centralia Generation LLC 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.

**LEGAL MATTERS** 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, certain legal matters in connection with the offering of Securities will be passed upon on behalf of TransAlta by Blake, Cassels and Graydon LLP, as to matters of Canadian law, and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, as to matters of U.S. law.

**INTEREST OF EXPERTS** 

As at the date of this Prospectus, the partners and associates of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of any class of securities of TransAlta.

Ernst & Young LLP is the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm and is independent in the context of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Alberta and the rules and regulations adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

**AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR** 

TransAlta's auditors are Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, Calgary, Alberta.

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares and Series A, B, C, D, E and G First Preferred Shares is Odyssey Trust Company. Common Shares are transferable in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. Series A, B, C, D, E and G First Preferred Shares are transferable in Calgary and Toronto. The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares in the U.S. is Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company at its principal office in Woodbury, Minnesota.

**DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT** 

The following documents have been filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part: the documents referred to under "*Documents Incorporated by Reference*"; consent of Ernst & Young LLP; powers of attorney from directors and officers of TransAlta, as applicable; the indenture between TransAlta and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, dated as of June 25, 2002; and the Statement of Eligibility of The Bank of New York Mellon on Form T-1. A copy of the form of warrant indenture or subscription receipt agreement, as applicable, will be filed by post-effective amendment or by incorporation by reference to documents filed with or furnished to the SEC under the U.S. Exchange Act.

**PART II** 

**INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS INDEMNIFICATION** 

Under s. 124 of the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA"), the Registrant may indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges, and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity. In addition, the Registrant may advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above. The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions in (a) and (b) below. The Registrant may not indemnify an individual referred to above unless the individual (a) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant's request; and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's conduct was lawful. The Registrant may with the approval of a court, indemnify an individual referred to above, or advance moneys for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above, in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual's association with the Registrant or other entity as described above against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfills the conditions set out in (a) and (b) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an individual referred to above is entitled to indemnity from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual's association with the Registrant or other entity referred to above, if the individual seeking indemnity was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done, and if the individual fulfills the conditions set out in (a) and (b) above.

The by-laws of the Registrant provide that, subject to the limitations contained in the CBCA, but without limiting the right of the Registrant to indemnify any person under the CBCA or otherwise, the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant, or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a another entity, and the heirs and legal representatives thereof, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by such individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity, if the terms and conditions of the by-laws of the Registrant are met.

The Registrant maintains a directors and officers' liability policy which provides coverage to the Registrant for all directors' and officers' related claims, losses and costs in any year, subject to policy terms and conditions, limits and deductibles.

The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors pursuant to which they are indemnified substantially to the extent permitted by the CBCA. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements the Registrant maintains errors and omissions insurance for its officers and directors while they remain an officer or director and for a period of 7 years thereafter.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
