Dividend Reinvestment Plan

TransCanada's dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan allows common and preferred shareholders to purchase additional common shares by reinvesting their cash dividend without incurring brokerage or administrative fees. Participants in the plan may make optional cash payments to buy additional shares of up to $10,000 per quarter. Optional cash payments must be received by our Plan Agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada at least three (3) business days prior to the dividend payment dates which are generally the last business day of each of January, April, July and October.
