In particular, this presentation contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, without limitation, the following: the acquisition described in this presentation (the "Acquisition"), including the expected closing date; the anticipated effects and benefits of the Acquisition, including the anticipated synergies and effects on TransAlta's financial and operational outlook, including expectations regarding Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow per share, Free Cash Flow Yield and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage Increase; the equity financing described in this presentation (the "Offering"); expectations regarding the performance of the acquired assets, including expected capacity, commercial in-service dates, contract terms, availability incentive payments and operational synergies; expectations regarding construction and supply chain risks; expectations about current and future industry activities, development opportunities and market conditions; TransAlta's corporate strategy, development projects, acquisitions an d the development and expected timing of growth opportunities; expectation s regarding TransAlta's credit metrics and business risk profile.

Although TransAlta believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially, including, but not limited to: the ability of TransAlta to receive all necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy all other necessary conditions to closing of the Acquisition on a timely basis or at all; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Acquisition following completion thereof; an inability to complete the Offering in accordance with management's current expectations or at all; fluctuation s in power prices; changes in supply and demand for electricity; our ability to develop, access or implement, on a timely basis and on reasonable terms, the technology necessary to efficiently and effectively operate the assets and achieve expected future results; changes to legislative, regulatory and political environments ; operational risks involving the assets, including unplanned outages and equipment failure; disruptions in the transmission and distribution of electricity; grid reliability; the risk that the credit ratings assigned to us or our securities may be downgraded or placed under review; adverse impacts on our information technology systems and our internal control systems, including increased cybersecurity threats; reduced lab our availability and other lab our relations matters; disruptions to our supply chains; weather conditions and their impact on electricity generation and demand; climate change-related risks, including the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events; general economic risks, including deterioration of equity markets, increasing interest rates, changes to foreign exchange rates or rising inflation; general domestic and international economic and political developments, including potential trade tariffs; industry risk and competition, including from emerging technologies affecting the demand, generation, distribution or storage of electricity; counterparty credit risks; inadequacy or unavailability of insurance coverage; increases in our income taxes and any risk of reassessments; legal, regulatory and contractual disputes and proceedings involving us; reputational and stakeholder-related risks; and reliance on key personnel. Additional information about material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and about material factors or assumptions applied in providing forward-looking information may be found in our MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and our MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025 (collectively, MD&A) and elsewhere in TransAlta's filings with the Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. This presentation also contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook (collectively, "FOFI") about TransAlta's prospective results of operations following completion of the Acquisition, including expected Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow per share, Free Cash Flow Yield and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage Increase, which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraphs. The FOFI contained in this presentation was approved by management as of the date of this presentation and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about TransAlta's anticipated future business operations following completion of the Acquisition. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this presentation should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein. All forward-looking statements and FOFI contained in this presentation are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. TransAlta does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or FOFI contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Non-IFRS Measures This presentation contains references to the following Non-IFRS measures and ratios: Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow per share, Free Cash Flow Yield, Adjusted EBITDA Percentage Increase and Build Multiple. Non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed in isolation from, as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, our IFRS results. Build Multiple is calculated using capital expenditures and Adjusted EBITDA. Free Cash Flow Yield is calculated by dividing the expected Free Cash Flow from the assets acquired pursuant to the Acquisition by the equity portion of the Acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA Percentage Increase is calculated by dividing the total expected Adjusted EBITDA from the Acquisition by the mid-point of TransAlta's 2026 Outlook Adjusted EBITDA range. We believe Build Multiple, Free Cash Flow Yield and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage Increase provide investors with useful measures to evaluate capital projects. Readers are cautioned that our methods for calculating Build Multiple, Free Cash Flow Yield and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage Increase may differ from methods used by other entities. Therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The most directly comparable IFRS measures to Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are earnings before income taxes and cash flow from operating activities, respectively. Refer to the "Non-IFRS and Supplementary Measures" sections of our MD&A for more information about these measures including, where applicable, reconciliations to measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, which sections are incorporated by reference herein. Th e MD&A can be found on SEDAR+ (www.sedarp lus.ca) under Trans Alta's profile.2
