NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AltaLink, L.P. (“ALP”) announces that it expects to undertake an internal reorganization (the “Internal Reorganization”) which will result in, among other things, BHE AltaLink Ltd. (“BHEAL”) becoming the regulated transmission utility and holding, directly or indirectly, all of the assets (including the associated KainaiLink, L.P. and PiikaniLink, L.P. partnership interests) and liabilities presently held by ALP. In connection with the Internal Reorganization BHEAL will also change its name to AltaLink Ltd.

The Internal Reorganization is being structured as a plan of arrangement under section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) and, in connection therewith, a notice of originating application (the “Notice”) will be filed with the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta, a copy of which will be provided to relevant third parties in connection with the Internal Reorganization in due course. A copy of the Notice will also be made available under ALP’s profile on SEDAR+ and ALP’s website. Each of the entities involved in the Internal Reorganization are direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of BHEAL.

The Internal Reorganization is subject to approval by the Alberta Utilities Commission (the “AUC”). ALP filed the required application with the AUC on June 18, 2026, and has requested approval by September 2026.

The Internal Reorganization is being conducted in compliance with the terms of the amended and restated master trust indenture dated as of April 28, 2003, between ALP, AltaLink Management Ltd. (as general partner of ALP) and Computershare Advantage Trust of Canada (formerly, BNY Trust Company of Canada) (as trustee), as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), which governs the terms of each outstanding series of ALP’s senior and subordinated debt (whether direct indebtedness of ALP or subject to a pledge by ALP in support of the indebtedness) (collectively, the “Bonds”).

The Internal Reorganization will result in AltaLink Ltd. being the successor in interest to ALP under the Bonds. AltaLink Management Ltd. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHEAL) (“AML”), in its capacity as general partner of ALP, currently holds legal title to certain ALP assets. Following the Internal Reorganization, AML (a wholly owned subsidiary of AltaLink Ltd.) will continue to hold such assets as bare trustee for the benefit of AltaLink Ltd., as successor to ALP. Ordinary course supplemental indenture(s) to the Indenture will be entered into in connection with the Internal Reorganization to reflect AltaLink Ltd. as the successor in interest to ALP and the bare trust relationship between AML and AltaLink Ltd. The terms of the Bonds will be otherwise unchanged and ALP does not expect any changes to its credit ratings as a consequence of the Internal Reorganization.

It is expected that, upon completion of the Internal Reorganization, ALP will cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws and BHEAL, as successor to ALP, will become a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws in each of the provinces of Canada.

Subject to receipt of required regulatory, court and other approvals, the Internal Reorganization is expected to be completed in Q4 2026.
