The foregoing conversion right is subject to the conditions that: (i) if Enbridge determines that there would be less than one million Series L shares outstanding after Sept. 1, 2017, then all remaining Series L shares will automatically be converted into Series M shares on a one-for-one basis on Sept. 1, 2017; and (ii) alternatively, if Enbridge determines that there would be less than one million Series M shares outstanding after Sept. 1, 2017, no Series L shares will be converted into Series M shares.

The dividend rate applicable to the Series M shares for the three-month floating-rate period commencing on Sept. 1, 2017, to, but excluding, Dec. 1, 2017, will be 1.055 per cent, based on the annual rate on three-month U.S. government Treasury bills for the most recent Treasury bills auction of 1.08 per cent plus 3.15 per cent in accordance with the terms of the Series M shares.
