STEP 1: THE COMMON SHARES BEING TRANSMITTED
The undersigned delivers to you the enclosed Certificate(s) or DRS (Direct Registration System) advices representing Common Shares deposited under the Offer. Subject only to the provisions of the Offer regarding withdrawal, the undersigned irrevocably accepts the Offer for such Common Shares upon the terms and conditions contained in the Offer and hereby assigns all right, title and interest therein to the Offeror. Unless waived by the Offeror, Shareholders are required to deposit the SRP Right associated with each Common Share prior to the Expiry Time in order to effect a valid deposit of the Common Share under the Offer or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary with respect thereto. The undersigned understands that by depositing Common Shares to the Offer, the undersigned will be deemed to have deposited the SRP Rights associated with such Common Shares. No additional payment will be made for the SRP Rights and no part of the consideration to be paid by the Offeror will be allocated to the SRP Rights. For greater certainty, deposit of SRP Rights certificates only, will not result in payment of the consideration. The following are the details of the enclosed Certificate(s) or DRS advices:

☐ Some or all of my Common Share certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Please review Instruction 12 for the procedure to replace lost or destroyed certificates. (Check box if applicable)
* Unless otherwise indicated, the total number of Common Shares and SRP Rights evidenced by all Certificates delivered will be deemed to have been deposited. See Instruction 7 of this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, “Partial Deposits”.
** The following procedures must be followed in order to effect the valid delivery of certificates representing SRP Rights, or such other written document (including without limitation a Direct Registration System statement or other book-entry confirmation) evidencing registered ownership of the SRP Rights (“Rights Certificates”). If the Separation Time does not occur prior to the Expiry Time, a deposit of Common Shares will also constitute a deposit of the associated SRP Rights. If the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates are distributed by IPL to the Shareholders prior to the time that the undersigned’s Common Shares are deposited pursuant to the Offer, in order for the Common Shares to be validly deposited, Rights Certificate(s) representing SRP Rights at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited must be delivered with this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation, to the Depositary. If the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates are not distributed by the time that a Shareholder deposits its Common Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Shareholder may deposit its SRP Rights before receiving Rights Certificate(s) by using the guaranteed delivery procedure described below and in the Offer to Purchase and Circular. See Instruction 2, “Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery”. In any case, a deposit of Common Shares constitutes an agreement by the signatory to deliver Rights Certificate(s) representing SRP Rights at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation, to the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario as specified in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time) on the second trading day on the TSX after the date, if any, that Rights Certificate(s) are distributed. The Offeror reserves the right to require, if the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time, that the Depositary receive from a Shareholder, prior to taking-up the Common Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer, Rights Certificate(s) representing SRP Rights or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited by the undersigned.
*** If Common Shares are registered in different names, a separate Supplemental Letter of Transmittal must be submitted for each different Registered Common Shareholder. Please review Step 4 and Instructions #3, #4 and #5 below.

BLOCK A
TO BE COMPLETED BY ALL ELECTING SHAREHOLDERS BY SELECTING ONE BOX BELOW
Note: You should only complete this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal if you are not a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and not exempt from income tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Shareholders are encouraged to consult their legal and financial advisors prior to making an election to receive Exchangeable LP Units. Please note that Common Shares are exchangeable for Exchangeable LP Units on a ratio of 0.225 of an Exchangeable LP Unit for each Common Share.
Each holder completing this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal represents that it is an eligible Electing Shareholder being a resident of Canada (or if a partnership, a “Canadian partnership”) within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and that it is not exempt from tax.
Each holder completing this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal will have the ability to file a Joint Tax Election as described in the Offer. Details of the mechanics to make such Joint Tax Election will be provided separately to eligible Electing Shareholders that elect to receive Unit Consideration.
An eligible Electing Shareholder must elect to receive Unit Consideration in respect of some or all of its Common Shares under the Offer in order to use this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal (printed on BLUE paper). Otherwise, the original Letter of Transmittal (printed on YELLOW paper) that accompanied the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular sent to Shareholders on February 22, 2021 should be used instead.
Any Electing Shareholder who does not properly choose all Unit Consideration for their Common Shares or Unit Consideration for a portion of their Common Shares and Cash Consideration and/or Share Consideration for the balance of their Common Shares in accordance with options below, with respect to the Common Shares deposited hereunder will be deemed to have chosen to receive all Cash Consideration and will no longer be considered to be an Electing Shareholder.
OPTION A – Election for only Unit Consideration
❑ | ELECTION TO RECEIVE ONLY EXCHANGEABLE LP UNITS |
Please check this box if you wish to receive only the Exchangeable LP Units for each of your Common Shares, and not to receive the Cash Consideration or Share Consideration. Please note that if your election for only Exchangeable LP Units is prorated, based on the Maximum Unit Consideration, the balance of the Consideration to which you are entitled will be paid as Cash Consideration, subject to the Supplementary Election in Block B below.
By checking this box you are confirming you are resident in Canada (or if a partnership, a “Canadian partnership”) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Specifically you are not resident in the United States or another country other than Canada for Canadian tax purposes.
OPTION B – Election for a Combination of Consideration
The undersigned hereby elects to receive Cash Consideration and/or Share Consideration for a portion of its Common Shares and Unit Consideration for the balance of its Common Shares deposited hereunder as follows:
NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES DEPOSITED FOR CASH CONSIDERATION
Please write the number of Common Shares you wish to deposit hereunder for Cash Consideration of $19.50 per Common Share.
NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES DEPOSITED FOR SHARE CONSIDERATION
Please write the number of Common Shares you wish to deposit hereunder for Share Consideration of 0.225 of a BIPC Share per Common Share.
NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES DEPOSITED FOR UNIT CONSIDERATION
Please write the number of Common Shares you wish to deposit hereunder for Unit Consideration of 0.225 of an Exchangeable LP Unit per Common Share.
6
By completing the blanks above, you are confirming you are resident in Canada (or if a partnership, a “Canadian partnership”) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Specifically you are not resident in the United States or another country other than Canada for Canadian tax purposes.
The total number of Common Shares tendered under Option B – “Election for a Combination of Consideration” must equal the total number of Common Shares deposited under this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal.
If the total number of Common Shares specified in Option B – “Election for a Combination of Consideration” is less than the total number of Common Shares deposited under this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, the Electing Shareholder will be deemed to have elected Cash Consideration for the balance of its Common Shares deposited hereunder.
If the total number of Common Shares specified in Option B – “Election for a Combination of Consideration” exceeds the total number of Common Shares deposited under this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, the number of Common Shares in respect of which the Electing Shareholder has elected Unit Consideration will be deemed to be reduced by a number such that the total number of Common Shares specified equals the number of Common Shares deposited hereunder.
Please note that if your election for only Exchangeable LP Units or BIPC Shares is prorated, based on the Maximum Unit Consideration or the Maximum Share Consideration, the balance of the Consideration to which you are entitled will be paid as Cash Consideration.
BLOCK B
SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTION
TO BE COMPLETED ONLY BY ELECTING SHAREHOLDERS THAT SELECTED OPTION A ABOVE
Note: You should only complete this Block B if you selected Option A – “Election for Only Unit Consideration” in Block A above, AND if, in the event you would receive Cash Consideration due to pro-rating, you wish to receive additional Exchangeable LP Units issued in accordance with the terms set out below, in lieu of the Cash Consideration to which you would otherwise be entitled.
Indicate whether you wish to make a Supplementary Election (as defined below):
☐ | The undersigned hereby makes a Supplementary Election |
By indicating as such above, in the event that the undersigned would otherwise receive an amount of Cash Consideration as part of the consideration received by the undersigned (such amount being the “Pro-rated Cash Amount”) as a result of pro-rating, then the undersigned hereby elects (a “Supplementary Election”) to receive in lieu of the Pro-rated Cash Amount, additional Exchangeable LP Units (the “Supplementary Unit Consideration”). The number of Exchangeable LP Units that will be issued to the undersigned, if any, pursuant to the Supplementary Election will be equal to the Pro-rated Cash Amount, divided by a price per Exchangeable LP Unit equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the BIPC Shares on the TSX for the 5 trading days prior to the Expiry Time.

STEP 5: MAKE THE FOLLOWING DECLARATIONS
The abovesigned hereby acknowledges receipt of the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular and the Notice of Variation, Change and Extension and acknowledges that there will be a binding agreement between the abovesigned and the Offeror effective immediately following the time at which the Offeror takes up the Common Shares covered by this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal (the “Deposited Common Shares”) and delivers them to the Depositary in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The abovesigned represents and warrants that:
(a) | the abovesigned has received the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular and the Notice of Variation, Change and Extension; |
(b) | the abovesigned has full power and authority to deposit, sell, assign and transfer the Deposited Common Shares and all rights and benefits arising from such Deposited Common Shares, including, without limitation, the benefit of any and all dividends, distributions, payments, securities, property or other interests including SRP Rights that may be declared, paid, accrued, issued, distributed, made or transferred on or in respect of the Deposited Common Shares or any of them on and after the date of the Offer (other than dividends on the Common Shares that are consistent with IPL’s publicly disclosed dividend policy as of the date of the Offer), including, without limitation, any dividends, distributions or payments on such dividends, distributions, payments, securities, property or other interests (collectively, “Distributions”), to the Offeror; |
(c) | the abovesigned has good title to and is the beneficial owner of the Deposited Common Shares and any Distributions deposited under the Offer; |
(d) | the Deposited Common Shares and Distributions have not been sold, assigned or transferred, nor has any agreement been entered into to sell, assign or transfer any of the Deposited Common Shares or Distributions, to any other person; |
(e) | the deposit of the Deposited Common Shares and Distributions complies with applicable Laws; and |
(f) | when the Deposited Common Shares are taken up and paid for by the Offeror, the Offeror will acquire good title thereto (and to any Distributions), free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, claims and rights of others. |
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE OFFER AND FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer and in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, subject only to withdrawal rights set out in the Offer, the abovesigned irrevocably accepts the Offer for and in respect of the Deposited Common Shares and (unless deposit is made pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfers) delivers to the Offeror the enclosed Common Share Certificate(s) and Rights Certificate(s), if applicable, representing the Deposited Common Shares and the SRP Rights, and, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, deposits, sells, assigns and transfers to the Offeror all right, title and interest in and to the Deposited Common Shares and in and to all rights and benefits arising from such Deposited Common Shares including, without limitation, the SRP Rights, whether or not separated from the Common Shares, and any and all Distributions.
The abovesigned acknowledges that under certain circumstances the Offeror may, among other things, (i) vary the terms of the Offer, including, without limitation, by extending or abridging the
11
period during which Common Shares may be deposited under the Offer where permitted by Law (see Section 5 of the Original Offer to Purchase, “Extension, Variation or Change in the Offer”), or (ii) make such adjustments as it considers appropriate to the consideration payable by the Offeror under the Offer and other terms of the Offer (including, without limitation, the type of securities offered to be purchased and the amount payable therefor) to reflect any changes on or after the date of the Offer in the Common Shares or IPL’s capitalization (including, without limitation, the division, combination, reclassification, consolidation or conversion of the Common Shares, the issuance of any Common Shares, the issuance, grant or sale of any securities convertible into Common Shares, or the disclosure that IPL has taken or intends to take any such action) (see Section 9 of the Original Offer to Purchase, “Changes in Capitalization; Adjustments; Liens”). In addition, the abovesigned acknowledges that if, on or after the date of the Offer, IPL should declare, set aside, allot or reserve any Distributions that are payable or distributable to Shareholders on a record date prior to the date of transfer into the name of the Offeror or its intermediary or transferee on the securities registers maintained by or on behalf of IPL in respect of Common Shares, then the Offeror may reduce the consideration payable by the Offeror under the Offer or the abovesigned may be required to promptly transfer to the Offeror such Distributions, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer (see Section 9 of the Original Offer to Purchase, “Changes in Capitalization; Adjustments; Liens”).
If the Separation Time does not occur prior to the Expiry Time, a deposit of Common Shares will also constitute a deposit of the associated SRP Rights. If the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates are distributed by IPL to the Shareholders prior to the time that the holder’s Common Shares are deposited pursuant to the Offer, in order for the Common Shares to be validly deposited, Rights Certificate(s) representing SRP Rights at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited must be delivered with this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation, to the Depositary. If the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates are not distributed by the time that a Shareholder deposits its Common Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Shareholder may deposit its SRP Rights before receiving Rights Certificate(s) by using the guaranteed delivery procedure described below. See Instruction 2, “Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery”.
In any case, a deposit of Common Shares constitutes an agreement by the abovesigned to deliver Rights Certificate(s) representing SRP Rights at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation, to the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario as specified in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time) on the second trading day on the TSX after the date, if any, that Rights Certificate(s) are distributed. The Offeror reserves the right to require, if the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time, that the Depositary receive, prior to taking-up the Common Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer, Rights Certificate(s) from a Shareholder representing SRP Rights or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited by the abovesigned.
The abovesigned irrevocably constitutes and appoints, effective at and after the time (the “Effective Time”) that the Offeror takes up the Deposited Common Shares, each director and officer of the Offeror and any other person designated by the Offeror in writing, as the true and lawful agent, attorney, attorney-in-fact and proxy of the holder of the Deposited Common Shares (which Deposited Common Shares upon being taken up are, together with any Distributions thereon, hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Securities”) with respect to such Purchased Securities, with full power of
12
substitution (such powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, being irrevocable), in the name of and on behalf of such Shareholder:
(a) | to register or record the transfer and/or cancellation of such Purchased Securities to the extent consisting of securities on the appropriate securities registers maintained by or on behalf of IPL; |
(b) | for so long as any such Purchased Securities are registered or recorded in the name of such Shareholder, to exercise any and all rights of such Shareholder including, without limitation, the right to vote, to execute and deliver (provided the same is not contrary to applicable Laws), as and when requested by the Offeror, any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents in form and on terms satisfactory to the Offeror in respect of any or all such Purchased Securities, to revoke any such instruments, authorizations or consents given prior to or after the Effective Time, and to designate in any such instruments, authorizations or consents any person or persons as the proxyholder of such Shareholder in respect of such Purchased Securities for all purposes including, without limitation, in connection with any meeting or meetings (whether annual, special or otherwise, or any adjournments thereof, including, without limitation, any meeting to consider a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction) of holders of relevant securities of IPL; |
(c) | to execute, endorse and negotiate, for and in the name of and on behalf of such Shareholder, any and all cheques or other instruments representing any Distributions payable to or to the order of, or endorsed in favour of, such Shareholder; and |
(d) | to exercise any other rights of a Shareholder with respect to such Purchased Securities. |
The abovesigned accepts the Offer under the terms of this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal (including by book-entry transfer) and revokes any and all other authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy or otherwise, previously conferred or agreed to be conferred by the Shareholder at any time with respect to the Deposited Common Shares or any Distributions. The abovesigned agrees that no subsequent authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy or otherwise will be granted with respect to the Deposited Common Shares or any Distributions by or on behalf of the depositing Shareholder unless the Deposited Common Shares are not taken up and paid for under the Offer or are withdrawn in accordance with Section 7 of the Original Offer to Purchase, “Withdrawal of Deposited Common Shares”.
The abovesigned also agrees not to vote any of the Purchased Securities at any meeting (whether annual, special or otherwise or any adjournments thereof, including, without limitation, any meeting to consider a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction) of holders of relevant securities of IPL and, except as may otherwise be agreed with the Offeror, not to exercise any of the other rights or privileges attached to the Purchased Securities, and agrees to execute and deliver to the Offeror any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents in respect of all or any of the Purchased Securities, and agrees to designate or appoint in any such instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents, the person or persons specified by the Offeror as the proxy or the proxy nominee or nominees of the holder of the Purchased Securities. Upon such appointment, all prior proxies and other authorizations (including, without limitation, all appointments of any agent, attorney or attorney-in-fact) or consents given by the holder of such Purchased Securities with respect thereto will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or other authorizations or consents may be given by such person with respect thereto.
13
The abovesigned covenants to execute, upon request of the Offeror, any additional documents, transfers and other assurances as may be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Securities to the Offeror. Each authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred is, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, irrevocable and may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity of the abovesigned and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, survive the death or incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of the abovesigned and all obligations of the abovesigned herein shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, attorneys, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the abovesigned.
The Depositary will act as the agent of persons who have deposited Common Shares in acceptance of the Offer for the purposes of receiving payment from the Offeror and transmitting such payment to such persons, and receipt of payment by the Depositary will be deemed to constitute receipt of payment by persons depositing Common Shares under the Offer.
All cash payments under the Offer will be made in Canadian dollars.
No certificates representing fractional BIPC Shares or Exchangeable LP Units shall be issued under the Offer. In lieu of any fractional BIPC Shares or Exchangeable LP Units, each Shareholder otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in BIPC Shares or Exchangeable LP Units will receive the nearest whole number of BIPC Shares or Exchangeable LP Units. For greater certainty, where such fractional interest is greater than or equal to 0.5, the number of BIPC Shares or Exchangeable LP Units to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number and where such fractional interest is less than 0.5, the number of BIPC Shares or Exchangeable LP Units to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. In calculating such fractional interests, all Common Shares registered in the name of or beneficially held by such Shareholder or his or her nominee shall be aggregated.
Settlement with each Shareholder who has deposited (and not withdrawn) Common Shares under the Offer will be made by the Depositary issuing or causing to be issued a cheque (except for payments in excess of $25 million, which will be made by wire transfer, as set out in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal) payable in Canadian funds and/or a certificate for Share Consideration and/or a certificate for Unit Consideration, as applicable, in the amount to which the person depositing Common Shares is entitled. Unless otherwise directed by this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, the cheque and/or the certificate for Share Consideration and/or the certificate for Unit Consideration, as applicable, will be issued in the name of the registered holder of the Common Shares so deposited. Unless the person depositing the Common Shares instructs the Depositary to hold the cheque and/or the certificate for Share Consideration and/or the certificate for Unit Consideration, as applicable, for pick-up by checking the appropriate box (Block E) in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, the cheque and/or the certificate for Share Consideration and/or the certificate for Unit Consideration will be forwarded by first class mail to such person at the address specified in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal. If no such address is specified, the cheque and/or the certificate for Share Consideration and/or the certificate for Unit Consideration will be sent to the address of the registered holder as shown on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of IPL. Cheques and/or certificates for Share Consideration and/or Certificates for Unit Consideration mailed in accordance with this paragraph will be deemed to be delivered at the time of mailing. Pursuant to applicable Laws, the Offeror may, in certain circumstances, be required to make withholdings from the amount otherwise payable to a Shareholder.
The abovesigned understands that no physical certificate(s) for Share Consideration and/or Unit Consideration will be issued as Share Consideration and/or Unit Consideration, as applicable, to

Shareholders upon take-up and payment for the Deposited Common Shares; rather, a DRS Statement will be delivered by the Depositary and Share Consideration and/or Unit Consideration will be held in the name of the applicable Shareholder and registered electronically in the Offeror’s records.
The abovesigned further understands and acknowledges that under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by the Offeror or the Depositary to persons depositing Common Shares on the purchase price of Common Shares purchased by the Offeror, regardless of any delay in making payments for Common Shares.
Pursuant to rules of the Canadian Payments Association, a $25 million ceiling has been established on cheques, bank drafts and other paper-based payments processed through Canada’s clearing system. As a result, any payment of Cash Consideration to the abovesigned in excess of $25 million will be effected by the Depositary by wire transfer in accordance with the Large Value Transfer System Rules established by the Canadian Payments Association. Accordingly, settlement with the abovesigned involving a payment in excess of $25 million, if applicable, will be made only in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by the abovesigned to the Depositary in writing. In the event wire transfer instructions are required as set out above, the Depositary will contact the abovesigned promptly following the Expiry Time for purposes of obtaining wire transfer instructions. Any delay in payment by the Depositary resulting from the provision by the abovesigned of wire transfer instructions will not entitle the abovesigned to interest or other compensation in addition to the amounts to which the abovesigned is entitled pursuant to the Offer.
Any Deposited Common Shares that are not taken up and paid for by the Offeror under the Offer for any reason will be returned, at the Offeror’s expense, to the depositing Shareholder as soon as practicable after the Expiry Time or withdrawal of the Offer, by either (i) sending Certificates representing the Common Shares not purchased by first class mail to the address of the depositing Shareholder specified in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal or, if such name or address is not so specified, in such name and to such address as shown on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of IPL, or (ii) in the case of Common Shares deposited by book-entry transfer of such Common Shares pursuant to the procedures set out in Section 3 of the Original Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance — Acceptance by Book-Entry Transfer”, such Common Shares will be credited to the depositing holder’s account maintained with CDS or DTC, as applicable.
Shareholders will not be required to pay any fee or commission if they accept the Offer by depositing their Common Shares directly with the Depositary or if they make use of the services of a Soliciting Dealer, if any, to accept the Offer. However, an investment advisor, stock broker, bank, trust company or other intermediary through whom Shareholders own Common Shares may charge a fee to tender any such Common Shares on their behalf. Shareholders should consult their investment advisor, stock broker, bank, trust company or other intermediary to determine whether any charges will apply.
By reason of the use by the abovesigned of an English language form of Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, the abovesigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract evidenced by the Offer as accepted through this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. En raison de l’usage d’une lettre d’envoi en langue anglaise par le soussigné, le soussigné est réputé avoir requis que tout contrat attesté par l’offre et son acceptation par cette lettre d’envoi, de même que tous les documents qui s’y rapportent, soient rédigés exclusivement en langue anglaise.

ELECTING SHAREHOLDERS WHO ACCEPT THE OFFER THROUGH A CDS BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED A SUPPLEMENTAL LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND BE BOUND BY THE TERMS HEREOF.
1. | Use of Supplemental Letter of Transmittal |
(a) | A Supplemental Letter of Transmittal is not to be used by non-registered Shareholders. Most holders of Common Shares are non-registered Shareholders because the Common Shares they beneficially own are not registered in their names, but are instead registered in the name of an investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary. Shareholders whose Common Shares are registered in the name of an investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary should immediately contact that intermediary for assistance if they wish to accept the Offer, in order to take the necessary steps to be able to deposit such Common Shares under the Offer. Intermediaries likely have established tendering cut-off times that are prior to the Expiry Time. Shareholders must instruct their brokers or other intermediaries promptly if they wish to tender. |
(b) | This Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, or a manually executed facsimile hereof, properly completed and duly executed, with the signature(s) guaranteed if required by Instruction 3 below, together with accompanying outstanding Certificate(s) representing the Deposited Common Shares (or, alternatively, Book-Entry Confirmation with respect thereto) and all other documents required by the terms of the Offer and this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal must be physically received by the Depositary at its office specified in this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time) on June 22, 2021, the Expiry Time, unless the Offer is accelerated, extended or withdrawn or unless the procedure for guaranteed delivery set out in Instruction 2 below is used. |
(c) | The method used to deliver this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, any accompanying outstanding Certificate(s) (“Certificate” means, as the context requires, any physical share certificate, or rights certificate, of IPL or a direct registration system advice commonly referred to as a DRS Advice or a similar document evidencing the electronic registration of ownership of Common Shares or SRP Rights) representing Common Shares (and if applicable, the Rights Certificates), and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Shareholder depositing these documents. The Offeror recommends that these documents be delivered by courier to the Depositary or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return receipt requested, be used |
16
and that proper insurance be obtained. It is recommended that any such mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time to permit delivery to the Depositary at or prior to the Expiry Time. Delivery will only be effective upon physical receipt by the Depositary. Delivery by email scan or facsimile is only acceptable if accompanied by DRS advices/statements where there is no change in registration or address. |
(d) | Shareholders can also accept the Offer by following the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3 of the Original Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance — Acceptance by Book- Entry Transfer”. A Shareholder accepting the Offer by following the procedures for book-entry transfer does not need to use this Supplemental Letter of Transmittal. Shareholders who accept the Offer through a CDS book-entry transfer will be deemed to have completed and submitted a Supplemental Letter of Transmittal and be bound by the terms hereof. Accordingly, where Common Shares are deposited by book-entry transfer without delivery of an executed Supplemental Letter of Transmittal, unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the “undersigned” and “abovesigned” are to the person on whose behalf that book-entry transfer is made (notwithstanding that such person has not executed a Supplemental Letter of Transmittal). |
