Say on Pay

In accordance with Hydro One's corporate governance guidelines, the company will hold an advisory vote on the approach to executive compensation (say on pay). The purpose of the say on pay vote is to obtain shareholder input on executive compensation at each AGM.

The board believes that the shareholder say on pay vote forms an important part of the ongoing process of engagement between shareholders and the board on executive compensation.

At the AGM, shareholders will have an opportunity to vote on Hydro One's approach to executive compensation through consideration of the following say on pay advisory resolution:

"Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the board of directors, that the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the management information circular delivered in advance of the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders of the company."

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the board. However, the board will take into account the results of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. The directors remain responsible for overseeing the company's executive compensation practices, in accordance with applicable law, and are not relieved of these responsibilities by the outcome of this advisory vote by shareholders.

The board recommends that you vote FOR approval of the advisory resolution on Hydro One's approach to executive compensation.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

Information About Voting

Delivery of Proxy Materials

As permitted by applicable Canadian securities laws, Hydro One is providing shareholders with electronic access to its circular for the company's AGM and its 2023 annual report, using "notice-and-access" instead of mailing out paper copies. Electronic delivery is environmentally friendly and saves money.

Shareholders will receive a notice of availability of proxy materials (notice) together with a form of proxy or voting instruction form. The notice provides instructions on how shareholders may access and review an electronic copy of the circular and how to request a paper copy. Shareholders who have already provided instructions on their account to receive paper copies of the circular will also receive a paper copy of the circular with a copy of the notice regarding electronic availability. The notice also provides instructions on voting at the AGM.

Proxy materials are being sent to registered shareholders directly and will be sent to intermediaries to be forwarded to all non-registered (beneficial) shareholders. We pay the cost for proxy solicitation of all registered owners and beneficial owners other than beneficial owners who object to their name and address being given to the company. An objecting beneficial owner will only receive proxy materials if their intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Shares Outstanding

As of April 8, 2024 there were 599,425,257 common shares outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote per common share.

The Electricity Act, 1998 (Ontario) and Hydro One's articles of incorporation preclude any person or company (or combination of persons or companies acting jointly or in concert), other than the Province, from owning or exercising control or direction over, more than 10% of any class or series of voting securities, including common shares of Hydro One.

Who Can Vote

Shareholders have the right to one vote per common share held by them on the record date for the meeting, which is April 8, 2024.

Other than His Majesty the King in Right of Ontario (the Province), any person, or an entity controlled by a person, who beneficially owns shares that represent, in the aggregate, more than 10% of the eligible votes that may be cast at the meeting, may not vote any of their shares.

As of April 8, 2024, our directors and executive officers were not aware of any person or entity who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over 10% or more of our outstanding common shares, other than the Province, which holds 282,412,648 common shares (representing approximately 47% of the outstanding common shares).

Under the governance agreement between the company and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario as represented by the Ministry of Energy dated November 5, 2015 (the Governance Agreement), the Province and Hydro One exchanged nomination notices and confirmed their acceptance of each other's director nominees. The Province is also required, under the Governance Agreement, to vote in favour of the nominees identified in this circular except in the case of contested director elections and where the Province seeks to replace the board in accordance with the Governance Agreement by withholding votes or voting for removal.

More information about the Governance Agreement can be found starting on page 30.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

Non-Registered (Beneficial) Shareholders

Registered Shareholders

How to

Participate in

and Vote at

the Meeting

Your broker or intermediary has sent you a voting instruction form.

If you wish to attend, vote and ask questions at the meeting online, you can do so as follows:

1. Appoint yourself as proxyholder as described below under the heading "How to Vote in Advance or by Proxy", including by providing an "Appointee Name" and designating an 8-character "Appointee Identification Number". Please note that these steps must be completed prior to the proxy deadline (or such earlier deadline as your broker or other intermediary may specify) or you will not be able to ask questions or vote your common shares at the meeting.

2. Follow the instructions below for proxyholders to log in and vote at the meeting as described below under the heading "How Do I Attend the Meeting as a Proxyholder?"

A non-registered (beneficial) shareholder wishing to access the meeting online without participating or voting - for example, because you have provided voting instructions prior to the meeting or appointed another person to vote on your behalf at the meeting - can access the meeting in the same manner as for registered shareholders described above using the 16-digit control number located on your voting instruction form or form of proxy. However, such a shareholder will not be able to participate in or ask questions at the meeting unless they are also a duly appointed proxyholder.

If the proxy deadline is waived by Hydro One prior to the meeting, all non-registered (beneficial) shareholders will be able to attend, vote and ask questions at the meeting online in the same manner as for registered shareholders. To access, vote and ask questions at the meeting online, use your 16-digit control number located on your voting instruction form or contact your broker to obtain a control number from Broadridge.

In that case, if you have previously provided voting instructions or appointed another person to vote on your behalf, and you choose to access and vote on any matter at the meeting online during the live webcast and receive access to a ballot, then you will revoke all prior voting instructions or appointments. If you do not wish to revoke your prior instructions or appointments, you will still be able to access the meeting online and ask questions. Alternatively, you may elect to attend the meeting as a registered guest, as described below under the heading "How do I Attend the Meeting as a Guest?", but you will not be able to ask questions or vote at the meeting. You should not assume that the proxy deadline will be waived in whole or in part, and you should vote prior to the meeting or appoint yourself or another person to vote on your behalf at the meeting prior to the proxy deadline (or such earlier deadline as your broker or other intermediary may specify) to ensure your vote is counted at the meeting.

Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge) has sent you a proxy form. Do not complete the proxy form and instead follow these steps:

1. Log in to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ HRNNF2024 at least 15 minutes before the meeting starts. You should allow ample time to check into the meeting online and to complete the related procedures.

2. Enter your 16-digit control number into the Shareholder Login section (your control number is located on your proxy form) and click on "Enter Here".

3. Follow the instructions to access the meeting and vote when prompted.

Even if you currently plan to access and vote at the meeting online, you should consider voting your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

You should note that if you access and vote on any matter at the meeting online and receive a ballot on the online meeting platform you will revoke any previously submitted proxy.

It is anticipated that registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have properly appointed themselves as proxyholders) participating in the meeting online will have substantially the same opportunity to ask proper questions as in past years when the annual meeting of shareholders was held in person or in a hybrid format.

Upon registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have properly appointed themselves as proxyholders) logging into the meeting online, they will have an opportunity to ask questions, make motions and raise points of order at the meeting through a chat box in the online meeting platform. Using a toll-free phone number displayed during the meeting on the online meeting platform, registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have properly appointed themselves as proxyholder) will also be able to ask questions verbally over the phone. In order to ask questions over the phone, registered shareholders will need the 16-digit control number on their form of proxy and duly appointed proxyholders will need their Appointee Information (defined below). Questions received from registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have properly appointed themselves as proxyholders) that relate to matters of business before the meeting are expected to be addressed during the meeting and questions that do not properly relate to matters of business before the meeting are expected to be addressed in a question and answer session following the meeting. Such questions will be responded to by a representative of Hydro One.

The chair of the meeting will decide, at their discretion, the amount of time allocated to each question. The chair will also have the right to limit or consolidate questions to ensure as many registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders as possible have the opportunity to ask questions. Further, the chair may reject questions that do not relate to the business of the meeting or which are determined, in the chair's discretion, to be inappropriate or otherwise out of order. The company does not intend to address any questions or statements that are: irrelevant to the business and affairs of the company or the business of the meeting; related to material non-public information of the company; related to personal grievances or in furtherance of personal interests; derogatory or otherwise in bad taste; repetitive of those made by another shareholder or duly appointed proxyholder; or out of order or not otherwise appropriate for the conduct of the meeting, all as determined by the chair of the meeting.

Registered guests can attend and access the meeting online. However, guests (including non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have not properly appointed themselves as proxyholders) will not be able to ask questions at the meeting.

Who Do I Contact If I Cannot Log into the Meeting?

If you have any difficulties logging into the meeting online, please contact Broadridge's online shareholder meeting help line using the toll-free number shown on the login page.

If you are participating in the meeting online, you must remain connected to the internet at all times during the meeting in order to vote when balloting commences. It is your responsibility to ensure internet connectivity for the duration of the meeting. Note that if you lose connectivity once the meeting has commenced, there may be insufficient time to resolve your issue before ballot voting is completed.

Even if you currently plan to participate in the meeting, you should consider voting your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted in the event you experience any difficulties.

and Voting

by Proxy

You may provide your voting instructions to the named proxyholders or appoint yourself or another person to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf by following the instructions on the voting instruction form provided to you by your broker or other intermediary. You are encouraged to do so online at www.proxyvote.com or by telephone if your broker or intermediary provides you with this option. You may also complete the voting instruction form provided by your intermediary and return it to your broker or intermediary. You must follow the instructions and timelines provided by your broker or intermediary in order to do so.

If you wish to access and vote at the meeting online or appoint another person (other than the named proxyholders) to do so, do not complete the voting section of the voting instruction form since you or your appointee will vote at the meeting.

In addition to the steps above, you must follow the additional instructions on your voting instruction form or form of proxy very carefully in order to appoint yourself or another person (other than the named proxyholders) to vote at the meeting, including:

• inserting an "Appointee Name" and designating an 8-character "Appointee Identification Number" (together, this is the Appointee Information) online at www.proxyvote.com or in the spaces provided on your form of proxy or voting instruction form. You must complete this step regardless of whether you wish to appoint yourself or another person (other than the named proxyholders); and

• if you have appointed someone other than yourself to attend, access and vote at the meeting online on your behalf, informing your appointed proxyholder of the exact Appointee Name and 8-character Appointee Identification Number prior to the meeting.

You are encouraged to appoint yourself or such other person (other than the named proxyholders) online at www.proxyvote.com as this will allow you to share the Appointee Information you have designated with any other person you have appointed to represent you at the meeting more easily. If you do not designate the Appointee Information as required when completing your appointment online or on your voting instruction form or form of proxy, or if you do not provide the exact Appointee Identification Number and Appointee Name to any other person (other than the named proxyholders) who has been appointed to attend, access and vote at the meeting online on your behalf, neither you nor that other person, as applicable, will be able to access, ask questions and vote at the meeting.

You are encouraged to provide your voting instructions to the named proxyholders or appoint your proxyholder by internet at www.proxyvote.com or by telephone, or by completing and returning the enclosed form of proxy to Broadridge. You must follow the instructions provided on your proxy form.

If you wish to appoint another person as your proxyholder (other than the named proxyholders) to vote on your behalf, you must follow the instructions on your form of proxy very carefully, including:

• inserting an "Appointee Name" and designating an 8-character "Appointee Identification Number" (together, this is the Appointee Information) online at www.proxyvote.com or in the spaces provided on your form of proxy or voting instruction form; and

• informing your appointed proxyholder of the exact Appointee Name and 8-character Appointee Identification Number prior to the meeting. Your proxyholder will require both your Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number in order to attend and vote on your behalf at the meeting.

Please note that if you wish to appoint a person as your proxyholder other than the named proxyholders and you do not designate the Appointee Information as required when completing your appointment online or on your form of proxy or if you do not provide the exact Appointee Name and Appointee Identification Number to that other person, that other person will not be able to access, ask questions and vote at the meeting on your behalf.

If your broker or intermediary gives you the option of using the internet to provide your voting instructions, you can also use the internet to change your instructions, as long as your intermediary receives the new instructions in enough time to act on them before the proxy deadline. Contact your broker or intermediary to confirm the procedures and deadline.

If you are eligible to vote at the meeting and you have previously provided voting instructions or appointed another person to vote on your behalf, you may access the meeting and revoke your prior instructions or appointments, but you will not be able to vote on any matter at the meeting unless the proxy deadline has been waived.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

Director Compensation

On August 15, 2018, the Province passed the Hydro One Accountability Act, 2018 (HOAA). The HOAA required our board to establish an executive compensation framework for the board of directors, President and CEO, and other executives. On February 21, 2019, pursuant to the HOAA, the Management Board of Cabinet issued a directive to Hydro One (the directive) setting out certain compensation-related requirements. As specified in the directive, the maximum total compensation for the board could be adjusted annually by the lesser of the rate of the Ontario Consumer Price Index and the annual rate at which total maximum direct compensation may be adjusted for non-executive managerial employees. The provisions of the HOAA that required our board to establish a compensation framework for the board of directors ceased to have effect on January 1, 2023.

The by-laws of the company provide that directors may receive remuneration for their services as determined by the board and be reimbursed for travel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending meetings of shareholders or of the board or any committee thereof or otherwise in the performance of their duties. The directors do not receive meeting fees for board or committee meeting attendance.

As part of its mandate, the GRC, comprised solely of independent directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the board with respect to non-executive director compensation. This is done with a view to aligning the interests of directors and shareholders and providing market-competitive compensation to help secure and retain experienced directors on the board. Any changes to non-employee director compensation are approved by the board, following the GRC's recommendation.

In 2023, the GRC engaged Mercer Canada Limited (Mercer), the board's independent compensation consultant, to review the company's director compensation program. For the purpose of its review, Mercer recommended, and the GRC and the board agreed, to adopt the same comparative peer group for directors, as management uses for executive compensation post HOAA (see page 75 of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis). Mercer's review revealed that Hydro One's director compensation fees were significantly below the midpoint of the company's peer group, with 62.5% of peers paying more in total compensation than is paid to a director of Hydro One. The GRC and board considered the results of the Mercer analysis balanced against the interests of all stakeholders and importance of establishing an appropriate compensation framework reflective of the company's size, impact, ownership structure and business complexity. The board, on the recommendation of the GRC, approved an increase to director compensation that improves the competitiveness of total director compensation while remaining between the 25th and 50th percentile and lower end of the range of Hydro One peers. To further align the Hydro One director compensation framework with shareholder interests and best practice, the GRC recommended, and the board approved, an increase in the minimum level of the director annual retainer that must be received in the form of equity.

Hydro One has a non-employee director deferred share unit (DSU) plan providing for awards of directors DSUs to Hydro One directors other than the President and CEO. The equity component of annual retainer is paid in the form of DSUs. Directors may elect to be paid up to 100% of the cash component of their compensation in the form of director DSUs. Director DSUs are notional shares that have the same value as Hydro One common shares and earn additional units as dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends paid on our common shares. Director DSUs vest immediately, but directors can only redeem their DSUs for cash after they leave the board (following a one-year holding period to the extent required to comply with their share ownership requirements post departure). Effective February 13, 2024, the board, upon recommendation of the GRC, approved an increase of the minimum equity component of the annual retainer for each director, board committee chair and the board chair from 50% to 60%. This heightened focus on deferred, equity-based compensation is aligned with the compensation framework established for Hydro One executives and is intended to promote long-term decision making and shareholder value creation.

For a period of 24 months following retirement from the company, the President and CEO must continue to own sufficient shares to meet the lesser of the share ownership requirement applicable to the President and CEO or the level of share ownership that the individual had attained at the time of retirement.

Non-Employee Director Share Ownership Requirements and Equity Ownership

Hydro One believes that the interests of shareholders and directors are better aligned when directors hold a significant investment in Hydro One. Directors who are non-employees of Hydro One are required to retain a minimum holding of common shares or DSUs equal to three times (3x) their total annual board retainer (calculated including the equity portion), valued at the original grant value or acquisition cost, within six years following the date of their appointment to the board. The Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found on our website at: https://www.hydroone.com/about/ corporate-information/governance.

The ownership requirement for directors was as follows:

Chair

$ 450,000

Other Directors

$ 300,000

Under the corporate governance guidelines, directors are expected to continue to satisfy their share ownership requirement (or their existing level of share ownership if lower) for a period of 12 months following their departure from the board. On June 2, 2023, the board waived the application of the post-retirement share ownership guideline for William Sheffield, who ceased to serve as a director on that date, so that Mr. Sheffield could pursue a career opportunity which required him to not hold any securities of Hydro One.

For 2023, the directors received all of the equity component of their annual director retainer in DSUs. The table below summarizes equity ownership of our 2023 directors, including dividend equivalents rounded to the nearest whole number, as at April 8, 2024, and their holdings for the previous year. The value of director holdings is calculated using the price of our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of 2023), which was $39.70. The table does not include Mr. Lebeter as he is subject to our executive share ownership requirements which can be found on page 71.

addresses the director nomination process, including the entitlement of the Province to nominate 40% of directors to be elected;

requires Hydro One to maintain a Majority Voting Policy for director elections and restricts the Province's ability to withhold from voting for directors except where the Province replaces the entire board other than the CEO and, at the Province's discretion, the board chair;

requires approval by special resolution of the directors of the appointment and annual confirmation of the CEO, the board chair and changes to key governance practices of the company;

30 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

restricts the right of the Province to exercise certain shareholder rights, such as to requisition a shareholder meeting to consider a fundamental change, or to solicit others to exercise rights which the Province is restricted from exercising; and

restricts the acquisition of voting securities by the Province but grants the Province pre-emptive rights with respect to future issuances of voting securities.

Following the June 7, 2018 election in Ontario, Hydro One and the Province entered into a letter agreement dated July 11, 2018 (the July 11 Letter Agreement) for the purpose of the orderly replacement of Hydro One's then independent directors (the former directors) and the retirement of the then President and CEO.

A copy of the Governance Agreement and the July 11 Letter Agreement have been filed on SEDAR and are available under Hydro One's profile at www.sedarplus.com.

Board Structure

75% of our committee chairs are women

The structure and role of the board are consistent with leading governance practices and reflect the requirements of the Governance Agreement. Except for the board chair and the President and CEO, all director nominees serve on two board committees. The board chair and the President and CEO regularly attend each committee meeting by standing invitation but have no vote at the committee meetings.

All members of these committees are persons determined by the board to be independent. The board committees are responsible for assisting the board in carrying out its duties and fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the matters set out in each committee mandate, which were approved by the board.

Each committee chair reports to the board following their meetings and makes any recommendations and provides guidance to the board in accordance with their committee mandate.

There was a change of membership of the committees to the board of directors following the annual meeting of shareholders on June 2, 2023. The changes are reflected in the charts below:

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 31

Nomination of Directors

The GRC serves as the nominating committee of the board and is responsible for identifying qualified candidates for election to the board, having regard for their independence, background, diversity, experience and skills and the alignment of their experience and skills with Hydro One's needs. The GRC hires a third-party recruitment firm to assist with director recruitments and maintains an evergreen list of potential director nominees, taking into account the existing skills matrix, the board diversity policy, the recruitment of women and Indigenous Peoples, term limits, the board evaluation results from the previous year, and other relevant factors.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 33

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Annually, under the Governance Agreement, the Province is entitled to nominate the number of directors that is equal to 40% of the number of directors to be elected (rounded to the nearest whole number). The Province has no obligation to nominate any of the individuals recommended by the GRC or the board as one of its director nominees. Below is a description of the nomination process generally followed each year with the Province leading up to the company's annual meeting of shareholders:

Exchange of Nomination Notice with the Province

• Not later than 60 days prior to the date by which proxy solicitation materials must be mailed for Hydro One's annual meeting, each of the Province and the GRC will notify the other of its proposed director nominees

Confirmation/Rejection of Director Nominees

• The GRC and the Province have 10 business days following receipt of the above-referenced notice to confirm or reject the director nominees

• If a proposed nominee is not already a director of Hydro One or is a director but whose circumstances have materially changed in a way that would affect how they would continue to meet director qualification standards under the Governance Agreement, then the GRC and the Province have 10 business days following exchange of nomination notices to confirm or reject the director nominees on the basis that the nominee does not meet the qualification standards

• If a director nominee of the Province or the GRC is rejected, the Province or the GRC will be entitled to nominate additional candidates until a nominee is confirmed by the other

• If no replacement nominee is confirmed for a director who was expected to depart from the board and that director does not resign, that director shall be re-nominated

• The Province and the committee will use commercially reasonable efforts to confirm director nominees prior to the date by which proxy solicitation materials must be mailed for the annual meeting of shareholders

Obligations of the Province

• The Province is required under the Governance Agreement to vote in favour of all director nominees of Hydro One in accordance with the process set out in the Governance Agreement

• This obligation is subject, however, to the Province's overriding right to withhold from voting or otherwise seek a shareholder meeting to remove and replace the entire board, including in each case its own director nominees but excluding the CEO and, at the Province's discretion, the board chair

Director nominees must meet the director qualification standards set out in the Governance Agreement, including the prescribed director independence requirements and requirements under applicable securities laws, the Governance Agreement, and applicable stock exchange rules. If a proposed nominee is replacing an existing director, under the Governance Agreement, the nominee must also, when taking into account existing directors and other confirmed nominees, enable the board to satisfy the board composition requirements of Hydro One's director skills matrix, board diversity policy and other governance standards.

All of our directors owe a fiduciary duty to the company to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Hydro One, regardless of whether they are nominated by the Province or by the GRC. Pursuant to the Governance Agreement, a majority of the board must at all times be resident Canadians.

34 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Independence

Ten of the 11 director nominees are independent. The Governance Agreement requires that each of our directors, other than the President and CEO, be independent of both Hydro One and the Province. Mr. Lebeter is not considered independent because of his role as the President and CEO of the company.

None of our independent director nominees has ever served as an executive of Hydro One. Having an independent board is one of the ways we help ensure that the board operates independently of management and makes decisions in the best interests of Hydro One, our shareholders and other stakeholders.

The table below summarizes what it means for director nominees to be independent of Hydro One and independent of the Province.

Independent of Hydro One

Independent of the Province

• Directors must be independent within the meaning of all Canadian securities laws governing the disclosure of corporate governance practices and stock exchange requirements imposing a number or percentage of independent directors; and

• A director who is "independent" within the meaning of applicable securities laws is one who is free from any direct or indirect relationship which could, in the view of the board, be reasonably expected to interfere with a director's independent judgment, with certain specified relationships deemed to be non-independent.

• Directors are independent of Hydro One under Ontario securities laws governing the disclosure of corporate governance practices, where the Province and certain specified provincial entities are treated as Hydro One's parent under that definition;

• Directors are not a current official or employee of the Province; and

• Directors have not been an official or employee of the Province for at least three years prior to their nomination to the board.

The chair of the board

of Hydro One is

independent of Hydro One

and the Province.

With the exception of the

President and CEO,

all 2024 director nominees

are independent.

Ethical Business Conduct

The full text of the Code

of Business Conduct and

Whistleblower Policy is available on

Hydro One's website at

www.HydroOne.com.

Hydro One promotes ethical principles to foster integrity, respect, excellence and social responsibility. The company has a written Code of Business Conduct that applies to all employees, directors and officers of Hydro One and its subsidiaries.

The Code of Business Conduct refers to Hydro One's core values and establishes standards to define how employees, officers and directors of Hydro One should act. In addition, Hydro One requires each of its contractors, suppliers, business partners, consultants and agents to comply with the Code of Business Conduct, to the greatest extent feasible, in their dealings with or on behalf of Hydro One. The Code of Business Conduct addresses, among other things, health and safety matters, conflicts of interest, discrimination and harassment, confidentiality, insider trading, environmental protection, safeguarding Hydro One's assets (including physical and intellectual property, cyber assets, accounting and financial reporting), fraudulent activity and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 35

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We also have a Supplier Code of Conduct, which supplements the Code of Business Conduct. The Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the standard of business behaviour expected of Hydro One's suppliers. It includes the requirement to act with honesty and integrity, be guided by Hydro One's ethical values, and comply with both the spirit and intent of the Supplier Code of Conduct.

The board monitors compliance with the Code of Business Conduct through the HRC. The HRC oversees the procedures of the Code of Business Conduct and Whistleblower Policy, including the receipt, management, investigation and closure of complaints received, except for accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters, which are reserved for oversight by the audit committee. The HRC received a code of business conduct and whistleblower report at each quarterly committee meeting in 2023. In 2023, the audit committee was advised that no complaints related to matters under its oversight were received.

Any actual, potential or suspected violation of the Code of Business Conduct can be reported anonymously directly to the company's Chief Ethics Officer, as confidential designee of the audit committee, or via ClearView Connects, a confidential independent third-party ethics reporting service in accordance with the Whistleblower Policy, which is monitored by the company's Chief Ethics Officer. Anonymous reports can also be made directly to the company's corporate ethics office.

The Whistleblower Policy is designed as a safeguard against threats to the integrity of our financial reporting, threats to health and safety, wrongdoing by employees, representatives and business partners and actual, potential or suspected violations of our Code of Business Conduct and applicable laws, rules and regulations.

The Whistleblower Policy also includes anti-reprisal provisions to protect employees who make a report in good faith. All reports are investigated internally or by an independent external party.

Each year, employees receive refresher training on the Code of Business Conduct and our fraud risk assessment management program.

The 2023 Code of Business Conduct annual refresher training provided an overview of the elements of the Code of Business Conduct and, among other things, addressed harassment in the workplace.

Directors were provided with the 2023 Code of Business Conduct annual refresher training and confirmed compliance with the Code of Business Conduct.

Conflict of Interest and Related Party Transactions

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors have an ongoing obligation to report potential or actual conflicts of interest and provide us with complete information on all entities in which they have a material interest, so that any potential conflicts, including related party transactions, can be identified.

These guidelines define conflict of interest broadly to include a situation where a director has a personal or financial interest in a matter which is the subject of an action or decision by Hydro One that may reasonably be perceived to affect the objectivity of the director in carrying out their responsibilities and duties. It also represents an advantage or gain to the director or certain other persons. Additionally, it may otherwise affect their personal, business or professional interests. This definition is generally expected to capture any related party transactions to which such person is a party, and requires that such actual or potential conflict be disclosed to the board chair, our General Counsel and our Chief Ethics Officer. If the board chair concurs with the General Counsel that there is an actual or potential conflict, the applicable director will disclose that interest to the board or committee (as the case may be) and will recuse themselves from any meeting and any discussions or vote on the matter. Our Code of Business Conduct applies these principles more generally, and any waiver of an actual or potential conflict, including a material interest in a related party transaction, in favour of any director or executive officer will only be granted by the board.

The audit committee mandate provides that the audit committee will review any related party transactions that may have a material current or future effect on the company's financial condition, results of operations or other matters.

We also ask our directors and officers questions regarding related party matters in our annual director and officer questionnaires, and we circulate a dedicated related party questionnaire to our board, senior executives and to the individuals who serve on the boards of Hydro One's subsidiaries on an ongoing (at least biannual) basis in order to identify any interest in related party transactions. Any affirmative responses from these questionnaires are forwarded to the audit committee and GRC for consideration. In 2023, there were no material conflicts of interest, related party transactions or waivers of our Code of Business Conduct reported by or granted in favour of any of our directors, CEO or other senior executives.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE OF THE BOARD

Term Limits

The company's board is committed to a process of renewal and succession planning for directors. The board has adopted term limits on board service, a mandatory retirement age and a committee chair service review, which are set out in the corporate governance guidelines.

Term Limit

Age Limit

Non-executive directors cannot stand for re-election 12 years after the date on which the director first began serving on the board of directors of Hydro One or any of its subsidiaries, except in special circumstances (including if necessary to facilitate orderly board renewal) on the recommendation of the GRC.

No director shall be appointed or elected as a director after that person has reached 75 years of age, unless otherwise determined by the board.

Committee Chair Service Review

As part of the GRC's annual review of committee memberships and structure, the GRC considers whether it is appropriate to change committee chairs for directors who have served as a committee chair for four or more years.

Limit on Directorships

The company recognizes that the board can benefit when a director also serves on the board of another company. However, as directors are expected to devote the time necessary to fulfil their responsibilities, a director's acceptance of additional positions as a corporate director of for-profit, not-for-profit or private entities are subject to the board's review. We limit the number of public company boards that our non-management directors can serve on to four, excluding Hydro One and its subsidiaries. The President and CEO should not hold more than one such directorship.

The audit committee mandate also provides that no committee member may serve on the audit committee of more than two other publicly traded companies unless the board has first determined that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of the member to serve effectively on Hydro One's audit committee.

No current director or director nominee serves on more than four other public company boards and no member of the audit committee serves on the audit committee of more than two other public company boards.

Board Interlocks

The board seeks to avoid having more than one board interlock at any given time. A "board interlock" is a circumstance where two or more directors serve on the board of directors of another publicly traded company (excluding the boards of any of Hydro One's subsidiaries). Directors may not accept an invitation to join the board of another publicly traded company, and new candidates for service on the board will not be invited to join the board, if it would result in there being more than one board interlock (or would increase the number of directors involved in the same board interlock), in each case unless approved by the board. The board reviews outside directorships regularly. Directors are required to notify the board chair and the chair of the GRC of any opportunity to join another board prior to accepting any invitation to join another board of directors.

The company currently has no board interlocks.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 37

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Majority Voting Policy

The board has a Majority Voting Policy for the election of directors. This policy provides that in an uncontested election, any nominee for director who receives more withheld votes than for votes will immediately tender their resignation following the election meeting for consideration by the board. The board will review the matter and take whatever actions it determines are appropriate in the circumstances. The director who has tendered their resignation pursuant to the Majority Voting Policy will not participate in any deliberations of the board regarding their resignation. In such instance, the other directors shall consider, and within 90 days of the election meeting determine, whether or not to accept the resignation. A resignation in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy will be accepted absent exceptional circumstances and is effective when accepted by the board. A press release will be issued by the company promptly following the board's decision regarding the resignation (including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the resignation). If a director does not tender their resignation pursuant to this policy, the board will not re-nominate that director at the next election. Other directors who received a majority withheld vote at the same election meeting may not participate in the board's detemination whether or not to accept the resignation. If there are fewer than three directors who did not receive a majority withheld vote, the entire board shall consider and, within 90 days following the election meeting determine, whether or not to accept the resignation and shall accept the resignation absent exceptional circumstances.

Under the Governance Agreement, the Province may not withhold its votes for the nominees proposed for election in an uncontested election unless the Province withholds from voting for all nominees other than the CEO and, at the Province's discretion, the chair. Where directors have received a majority withheld vote as a result of the Province withholding its vote from their election in an uncontested election and have tendered their resignations, the board will take whatever actions it determines are appropriate, and the directors who received a majority withheld vote may participate in that determination.

The Majority Voting Policy does not apply to a contested election of directors where the number of candidates validly nominated exceeds the number of directors to be elected at that meeting.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

The board oversees the company's approach to environmental, social and governance matters relating to the long-term health and sustainability of the company. This oversight includes reviewing and approving the company's key sustainability priorities, its program, and its annual sustainability report.

The board's IPSO committee oversees the company's programs and approaches related to our sustainability objectives, including in the areas of Indigenous relations, community investment, safety and the environment. The GRC oversees the company's regulatory, customer and public policy matters. The HRC oversees the company's diversity, equity and inclusion programs and initiatives, and our wellness programs, including our support for employees' mental health.

As a transmission and distribution company, we are focused on executing the sustainability priorities of our corporate strategy where we believe we can make the greatest impact: diversifying our talent across our workforce and creating an equitable and inclusive work environment; helping to manage the impact of climate change on our business, supporting Ontario in enabling the energy transition and reducing our environmental footprint; and on strengthening our Indigenous and community partnerships in order to help build socio-economic capacity across the province.

In 2021, under the Board's oversight, and in line with the sustainability priorities of our corporate strategy, Hydro One announced the following commitments:

Achieve 3.5% Black executive and board directors and 5% Black student hires by 2025, as part of the BlackNorth Initiative Pledge;

Achieve at least 30% female executives and board members, as a signatory to the Catalyst Accord;

Achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, with a target to achieve 30% GHG emissions reduction by 20301;

Convert 50% of the fleet of sedans and SUVs to electric vehicles or hybrids by 2025 and 100% by 2030;

Increase Indigenous procurement spend to 5% of the company's purchases of materials and services by 2026; and

Commit at least 20% of corporate donations and sponsorships to support Indigenous communities.

1 Compared to the 2018 baseline.

38 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

To demonstrate the company's commitment to sustainability goals, in 2022, the company's syndicated lines of credit were amended to include a pricing adjustment which can increase or decrease the cost of funding based on our performance with respect to certain of our sustainability commitments.

Hydro One is committed to reporting annually on our progress in achieving these publicly stated goals in our annual sustainability report and to continuing to improve the quality of our ESG disclosures. These disclosures are guided by the Global Reporting Initiative standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and prepared broadly following the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

To demonstrate Hydro One's strong commitment to sustainability, some of our key initiatives include:

Equity Partnership Model: In 2022, in partnership with First Nation leaders from across Ontario, Hydro One announced a new industry-leading Equity Partnership Model, through which First Nations communities can invest in 50% of equity in new, future large-scale capital transmission line projects with a value exceeding $100 million. In recognition of the company's emphasis on economic Reconciliation, it advanced from Silver level certification in 2020 to a Gold level recognition by the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) in Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) in 2023.

Sustainable Financing Framework (SFF): In January 2023, Hydro One published a SFF, a first for a utility company in Canada. Subsequently, in 2023, the company successfully priced offerings of Medium-Term Notes under the new SFF in the aggregate principal amount of $2,375 million.

For further information regarding the company's key sustainability priorities, please see pages 66 and 72 of the circular. For a recent copy of the company's most recent sustainability report, which includes certain TCFD-aligned disclosures, please see the following link: https://www.hydroone.com/Sustainability. Our sustainability report is not incorporated by reference into this circular.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

Embracing DEI is a source of strength for us and it is also a significant competitive advantage. Our commitment is to prioritize people and foster an inclusive work environment where employees, customers, partners and the communities we serve not only feel heard and valued, but also experience a genuine sense of belonging. This approach is not only the right thing to do; it is a strategic business decision crucial to our success. It positively impacts innovation, engagement, trust, safety, customer experience and overall business performance.

We firmly believe that DEI is indispensable for shaping a better and more promising future for everyone. This vision guides our efforts to eliminate barriers faced by diverse groups and helps ensure our workplaces are welcoming and inclusive for all.

Board Diversity

The board has a board diversity policy (the Diversity Policy) to formalize Hydro One's commitment to diversity and its desire to maintain a board comprised of talented and dedicated directors whose skills, experience, knowledge and backgrounds reflect the diverse nature of the business environment in which we operate, including an appropriate number of directors who are women.

The level of representation of women and persons who identify as Indigenous, Black or as a Person of Colour (BPOC) on the board is specifically considered in identifying and nominating candidates for appointment or election to the Board. Any search firm engaged to assist the board or the GRC in identifying candidates for appointment to the board will be directed to include diverse candidates including women and persons who identify as an Indigenous Person, Black and/or a Person of Colour. The Company is committed to maintaining a diverse list of potential board candidates for future consideration as vacancies arise.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 39

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Annually, the GRC reviews the Diversity Policy and assesses compliance with the policy and its effectiveness in promoting a diverse board.

Diversity Targets

Since our initial public offering in November 2015 the board has maintained over 30% women director representation. When identifying and nominating candidates for appointment, election or re-election to the board, candidates will be considered on merit against objective criteria having due regard for the benefits of diversity and the needs of the board.

The board aspires toward a board composition in which women comprise at least 40% of the directors of the board. Currently, 50% of our independent directors are women. If all director nominees are elected, we will exceed our aspirational goal of 40% with 45% (5) women directorsThe board aspires to have at least one director identifying as an Indigenous Person, Black, or as a Person of Colour hold at least one board seat. Currently, 20% of our independent directors identify as Indigenous Persons. If all director nominees are elected, we will continue to have a board composition with two directors identifying as Indigenous Persons.

Following the meeting, assuming that all the director nominees are elected, the board will therefore be comprised as follows:

Women

Indigenous Peoples

Public Commitments

In 2023, we continued to focus on three key public commitments - the Black North Initiative Pledge, the CEO Champions for Change, and the Leadership Accord on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

BlackNorth Initiative Pledge Signatory since 2020

Committed to ending systemic Black racism through various activities including achieving 3.5% Black executives and board members, and 5% Black student hires by 2025. In 2023, we had 6%(2) Black students and no Black executives or board members. We gave out five William Peyton Hubbard awards to exceptional Black students and rolled out anti-Black racism education sessions to our people managers.

CEO Champions for Change signatory since 2023

Committed to visibly supporting and driving diversity, inclusion and gender equity within our organization. We continue to maintain over 30% women executives.

The Leadership Accord on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Signatory since 2017

Committed to removing barriers to entry for diverse employees who are underrepresented and measuring change over a two-year timeframe. In 2023, based on recommendations from a comprehensive systemic barriers and bias review of our talent management lifecycle, we developed an enhanced DEI Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan help address, eliminate and prevent barriers.

Gender, Indigenous, Black and Person of Colour Representation in Management

On average in 2023, 36% of our executives (14 individuals), including three of six (or 50%) Executive Leadership Team (ELT) members and two of five (or 40%) executive officers, were women. The average total number of women holding executive roles increased by 3% from 2022 to 2023.

On average in 2023, based on our full-time employee population of approximately 6,900 employees, 3% self-identified as Indigenous and 12% self-identified as a Black Person and Person of Colour. For vice president (VP) and above, 3% self-identified as Indigenous and 19% self-identified as a Black Person and Person of Colour and 16% of our management-level directors self-identified as a Black Person and Person of Colour with 1% identifying as Indigenous. Hydro One continues to strive to recruit diverse executives and considers the level of representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments. The potential adoption of additional diversity targets remains under consideration in connection with our enhanced DEI Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 41

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Commitment to DEI

In 2023, as we developed our enhanced DEI Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan aimed at ensuring our company delivered sustained attention to DEI activity both within the organization and across the industry. We prioritized key initiatives in line with our updated direction, including:

1.

Reviewed the findings of the systemic barriers and bias review, undertaken in 2022, of our talent management lifecycle, and the 2022 Indigenous employment barriers review, and based on the recommendations of these reviews developed a long-term strategic roadmap and action plan that adopts an intersectional lens to our commitment to create a more equitable and inclusive work environment.

2.

Launched our "Step Up" program to address inclusion, respect and psychological safety in the field. Aligned with our operational and corporate strategies, and complementing our Code of Business Conduct, this program creates space to:

Foster a culture of inclusion and respect;

Promote psychological safety;

Raise awareness around what is, and what is not, appropriate workplace behaviour; and

Empower and inspire employees to take action, or "step up", when they see disrespectful or non-inclusive behaviour.

To date, 32 instructors have been trained, 117 sessions were offered and over 2,000 employees in our field operations have completed the course.

3.

In addition to the eight sessions held in 2022, we organized seven additional anti-Black racism education sessions for Hydro One people leaders. A total of 321 people leaders have participated to date, and we will continue cascading the training to all employees in 2024 and beyond.

4.

Partnered with the Black Professionals in Technology Network to pilot Cultivate+, a mentorship program that matches senior leaders/executives with high-performing Black employees. Four senior leaders were matched with eight Black employees for the nine-month duration of the program aimed at developing concrete strategies for career growth and network development/diversification within the organization.

5.

Renewed our Women in Engineering University Partnership agreement for another two years. This long-standing partnership created over ten years ago with Ontario Tech University, Toronto Metropolitan University, University of Waterloo and Western University aims to continuously increase the enrollment of young women in engineering. Our goal is to support and develop these students throughout their university journey, setting them up for success upon graduation. We will also concentrate on diversifying the engineering pipeline, with a focus on Indigenous, Black and People of Colour students.

6.

Hydro One's President and CEO, David Lebeter became a signatory to Catalyst's CEO Champions For Change - an initiative that brings together CEOs and senior leaders who are visibly supporting and driving diversity, inclusion and gender equity within their organizations. More than 80 CEOs and top industry leaders, including members of the Catalyst Board of Directors, past Catalyst Award winners, and CEOs within strong Catalyst supporting organizations make up this network.

7.

Held our annual DEI Symposium on Power in Pride - Queer Belonging in the Workplace. We had nearly 300 employees attend in person and approximately 200 attend virtually.

8.

Continued to conduct Men Advocating Real Change (MARC) workshops for our field managers and supervisors focused on advancing gender equity and inclusion in the workplace.

Succession Planning and Talent Management

At Hydro One, we have a robust Succession Planning framework and Talent Management program to ensure a pipeline of highly skilled and talented leaders who can drive and support Hydro One's long-term corporate strategy aspirations, and meet the needs of our customers, communities, and shareholders, now and in the future. This framework comprises an annual assessment of our talent to measure their potential for progression to senior roles within the organization, the identification of replacements for leadership roles, as well as intentional development opportunities for those who are identified as top talent. In 2023, we saw clear evidence of the success of this framework and how we have consistently applied it to make talent decisions across the organization.

The HRC reviews and approves the Succession Planning and Talent Management program for Hydro One on an annual basis. The HRC reviews and recommends to the board for approval succession plans for the President and CEO and associated contingency preparedness, including in the event of a crisis or the unexpected departure of the President and CEO. The HRC also reviews, in coordination with the President and CEO, the succession plans and talent management processes for the Designated Employees (as defined in Schedule "A" attached) and associated contingency preparedness, including in the event of a crisis or the unexpected departure of a Designated Employee. The HRC last reviewed the succession plans for the President and CEO and for Designated Employees in August, 2023.

With the appointment of our new President and CEO in February 2023, a robust organizational design initiative was undertaken by Human Resources. The goal was to ensure the ELT was appropriately structured to lead all aspects of the organization, particularly as we aspire to take a leadership role in the energy transition of the future. Consistent with our goal of prioritizing internal talent growth and the progression of our top talent, we are pleased to highlight that 50% of our ELT structure (four of eight ELT positions) was filled via the promotion of internal successors. In addition, two existing ELT members took on expanded mandates, providing growth and development opportunities for each. At the end of the calendar year, two ELT positions were vacant, which have since been filled with external candidates.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 43

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

In August 2023, we announced organizational structure changes to our broader leadership teams and created several new VP and director-level positions to deliver on strategic objectives and business commitments. In keeping with the same internal talent growth priority, 90% of these roles (nine out of ten) were filled via the promotion of internal successors and identified top talent. To enhance the skills and broaden the business knowledge of our top talent, we facilitated several cross-functional role placements within the new organizational structures across different lines of business.

Overall, we have maintained a close watch on our succession health throughout the organization. In 2023, in addition to filling five out of seven director and above roles with previously identified successors, we identified ready now and short-term successors for 62% of critical roles and emergency replacements for 100% of leadership roles.

In the past year we advanced our Talent Management program by creating and cascading the 'Leader of Tomorrow' Competency framework, the defining essential leadership behaviours at all employee levels to achieve our long-term strategy and business aspirations. Additionally, we organized board networking events in February and November 2023, offering top talent exposure opportunities with the board of directors.

As we continue to strengthen our succession health, our main focus in 2024 is on developing our talent at the senior vice-president (SVP) and VP levels. Given the organizational structure changes in 2023 that led to new leaders, we are focused on providing meaningful and structured development opportunities, including coaching and mentoring support.

Through a series of leadership assessments, we will review and validate top talent at the SVP/VP level and be purposeful in identifying clear individual development plans and actions. Going forward, priority attention will be given to the intentional development of SVP/VP talent.

In alignment with the refreshed corporate strategy, we will identify critical roles and focus attention on those with high succession risk. We recognize that these roles require rigorous and focused succession planning to prevent disruptions which could be caused by unexpected vacancy.

We will improve the tracking and development of future leaders and subject matter experts. During full-day talent reviews, emphasis will be placed on individualized development opportunities, cross functional rotations, stretch assignments and experiential learning to strengthen competencies and readiness for successors to executive leadership roles and talent identified as successors to critical roles.

Through our Top Talent program, we will continue to provide key talent with development exposure opportunities with the board of directors and share progress updates with the full board and HRC regarding development plans for successor nominees.

The HRC not only reviews and approves the Succession Planning and Talent Management program but also assesses the performance goals set at the beginning of the year for all Designated Employees. The committee evaluates the President and CEO's achievements against yearly performance goals, along with how the President and CEO has assessed the performance of the Designated Employees'. Additionally, the HRC reviews and approves qualifications, experience and compensation packages for our most senior roles, including the President and CEO. These thorough practices aim to maintain alignment between the board of directors and the ELT, influencing the entire organization through the annual cascade of performance goals to employees.

Board Assessments

To enhance board efficacy, the GRC oversees the annual assessment process to examine the effectiveness of the board, its leadership, its committees and individual director performance (having regard to the mandate of the board and the mandate of the relevant committee, as the case may be).

2023 Board Assessment

The GRC determined that the 2023 board assessment at Hydro One would consist of a long-form evaluation. They retained the services of an independent third party to help conduct the assessment, where directors filled out questionnaires. The evaluation was expanded to follow-up on previous action items and concentrate on committee effectiveness. The evaluation sought to identify trends, observations and sentiments across seven dimensions of board effectiveness: board purpose; composition; organizational knowledge and engagement; processes; leadership and culture; board structure; and time and focus areas.

44 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Members of board committees were prompted to respond to a set of questions relating to the committees on which they serve and were given the opportunity to provide feedback on committee chairs. Directors were asked to provide feedback for the chair of the board and their fellow directors. The third party conducted interviews with directors and members of management with questions regarding the survey responses with a view to targeting specific aspects of board effectiveness and performance. The third party prepared reports based on feedback for each director and each committee. The GRC determined that both the board and its committees continue to function in an effective and appropriate manner. The board also met with the third party to identify ways to improve its effectiveness and create an action plan for improvement.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The company has a director orientation and continuing education program for directors in accordance with Hydro One's corporate governance guidelines. The program has two purposes:

1)

to familiarize new directors with their responsibilities and with the various business activities of Hydro One; and

2)

to assist directors in enhancing their knowledge and skills and their understanding of the company's business to help individual directors maintain and enhance their skills and abilities as directors, as well as to help ensure that their knowledge and understanding of the company's business remains current.

Director Orientation

Upon appointment or election, new directors are provided access to Diligent Boardbooks, which contains the Hydro One director's information manual and provides access to all meeting materials required for board and committee meetings. Among other things, the director's information manual contains information about board and committee mandates, position descriptions, and copies of Hydro One's by-laws and corporate governance guidelines.

Upon appointment to a committee, each director has access to copies of minutes for the most recent committee meetings and a copy of the committee's mandate. Newly appointed committee members are also provided with any relevant subject matter briefing material that may be of assistance to them. In addition, new directors are provided with briefings by management on key aspects of Hydro One's business affairs, activities, corporate governance structure and our policies and procedures.

While director orientation is designed to be a complete introduction to Hydro One, it is also tailored to individual director needs. Directors are encouraged to proactively ensure they become and remain knowledgeable about Hydro One to fulfil their duties, and to seek additional information if necessary.

New directors are invited by standing invitation to attend quarterly meetings for all of the board's committees, for their first year as a member of the board, to understand the functions of each committee and its responsibilities.

Continuing Education

The continuing director education program consists of the following elements, and includes, on an ongoing basis, as part of regular board and committee meetings:

information briefings and internal educational sessions to be held between regular board and committee meeting dates;

presentations, video recordings and updates from senior management;

quarterly corporate governance hot topics reports; and

discussions and industry briefings with external speakers on relevant topics related to Hydro One's business.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 45

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We also support continuing education opportunities outside Hydro One. Each director is encouraged to attend external forums, conferences, seminars and education programs dealing with subject matters that are applicable to the member's role on the board or its committees or to increase the member's knowledge of the electricity sector and other areas of interest relevant to our businesses and affairs. The board has implemented a continuing education policy that provides financial support for directors to participate in continuing education. In 2023, the continuing director education program maintained its innovative practice of including video recordings on a variety of topics relevant to Hydro One's business and the board. Videos were made available prior to board and committee meetings and time was allocated for question and answer sessions on meeting agendas.

Directors participated in various education sessions, including those listed in the following table:

Board of Directors

Board Priorities

The board is responsible for the stewardship of the company and has adopted a board mandate setting out its responsibilities, which includes supporting a culture of integrity, approving the capital and financial structure of the company, strategic planning, risk management, appointment and oversight of management, board governance, communications and reporting to stakeholders. This year the board spent a significant amount of time on overseeing the refreshment of our corporate strategy.

The board mandate is attached as Schedule "A" to this circular, which can be found on page 109.

The Board's Role in Strategy

The board believes that management is responsible for the development of Hydro One's corporate strategy and that its role is to review, question and ultimately approve the strategy. A top priority for the board is to oversee the implementation of each strategic priority, which has resulted in ensuring, among other things, a strong alignment between delivery of strategic outcomes and management compensation.

In November 2023, the board of directors approved the refreshed corporate strategy. In December 2023, the board of directors approved the 2024 budget and 2024 to 2028 integrated business plan, both of which are correlated with the company's corporate strategy.

In order to do this, the board:

participates in Hydro One's strategy process throughout the year by reviewing and approving the strategic plan (taking into account the opportunities and risks of our business) and engaging in regular discussions to review strategy implementation progress and helps ensure the opportunities and risks of our business are adequately incorporated into strategic actions proposed by management;

regularly scrutinizes management's execution of strategic initiatives and business plans (both regulated and unregulated efforts) and their results;

receives regular reports on implementation of the corporate strategy and detailed updates on each strategic initiative throughout the year at its scheduled meetings; and

assesses the company's performance against financial and other objectives established in the company's business plans, past performance and industry peers.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 47

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

In 2023, the board participated in the company's strategic planning process throughout the year by:

providing input and discussing perspectives related to strategy development at each board meeting;

completing survey(s) and interview(s) that provided input for consideration as the strategy was refreshed;

reviewing management's proposed refresh to the vision, mission, values and brand promise of the company;

reviewing management's proposed strategic priorities, strategic initiatives, associated risk implications and strategy outcomes of the company;

holding an annual strategy session in June 2023; and

ultimately approving the strategy in November 2023.

The June strategy session promoted the development of strategic foresight and agility by reviewing: environmental scans, competitor analysis, underpinning strategic conditions, critical enterprise risks, energy industry innovation, and long-term demand-based scenario planning. This served as the basis for an in-depth review of the proposed strategic priority hypotheses, which were refined to become the core of the refreshed strategy.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

Effective risk management is essential to supporting the successful execution of our strategy, enabling Hydro One to energize life for people and communities, to help create a better and brighter future for all, and to deliver upon the expectations of our stakeholders.

Hydro One understands the importance of effective ERM and has a mature ERM program that:

aligns with the strategic priorities and enablers outlined in Hydro One's corporate strategy; and

provides stakeholder visibility into Hydro One's risk environment and key risk management activities.

Hydro One's ERM program continues to monitor, consider and where appropriate, implement guidance from established frameworks (including the ISO 31000 Risk Management and COSO ERM Frameworks) and industry best practices to support the company's ability to assess, communicate and effectively respond to a rapidly changing risk environment.

The board retains responsibility for:

overseeing and approving the company's ERM framework and programs for identifying, assessing and managing the company's principal risks with a view to achieving an appropriate balance between the risks incurred and potential returns, and the long-term sustainability of the company; and

overseeing and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of programs and processes for identifying, assessing and managing or mitigating the company's principal risks and ensuring that primary oversight responsibility for each of the key risks identified in the ERM framework is assigned to the board or one of its committees.

The Hydro One risk framework and risk universe reflect stakeholder consultations and describe the enterprise risks facing Hydro One.

48 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

The board has approved the updated risk framework and risk universe and has delegated the oversight of some risks within the risk universe to its committees in alignment with their mandates. The following allocation of enterprise risks to the board and committees was approved in August 2023:

■ Board/Committee ■ Enterprise Risk

1.

While the Board retains overall accountability for ESG, there are a number of risks under ESG that have been allocated to other Committees to align with their mandates.

To assist the board in identifying the principal risks faced by the company, the ERM team facilitates an annual enterprise risk assessment during which management identifies the enterprise risks within the risk universe most critical to the achievement of the objectives of the corporate strategy. Risk profiles are created in conjunction with the risk owners and the ELT to:

describe each of these critical risks and articulate their underlying key risk drivers;

communicate management's assessment of the risk ratings (e.g., likelihood, impact, and speed of onset of the risk); and

illustrate how the risks are managed and identify additional risk management actions and timelines to further mitigate these risks.

Results of the annual enterprise risk assessment are used to assist in management's decision-making, prioritization and allocation of resources. In addition, the annual enterprise risk assessment is used as an input into the internal audit planning process, allowing the internal audit function to provide independent and objective feedback on the key management programs used to manage risk.

Quarterly enterprise risk updates are provided to the board on the critical enterprise risks and emerging risks facing Hydro One. These quarterly enterprise risk updates describe key developments related to the enterprise risk profile and activities undertaken by management to mitigate these risks. In addition to the quarterly risk updates, the ERM team facilitates a series of "critical risk discussions" with the board and committees, the responsible risk owners and executives, to provide additional insights into the critical risks facing Hydro One.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 49

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

A description of risk factors is provided in the management's discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Please refer to Hydro One's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com. The board's assessment of the relative significance of these risks may change over time as they continue to be reviewed and reevaluated.

Cybersecurity Risk

Recent international events have heightened the importance of cybersecurity related disclosure for certain of our stakeholders, while cybersecurity continued to be an area of focus for Hydro One during the past year. The company is exposed to potential risks related to cyberattacks, supply chain compromises and unauthorized access to our systems. As the company continues to make investments in and rely on additional, more complex and interconnected digital technology to enable efficient operations, the likelihood of a cyber-breach impacting our business increases. The board is responsible for overseeing Hydro One's material cybersecurity, physical security, data privacy and information technology infrastructure, policies and programs. The audit committee receives updates from our chief security officer on a quarterly basis. Further, the audit committee is responsible for the adequacy and quality of the company's cyber security and information technology systems, policies and programs and regularly receives IT and cybersecurity update reports as well as reports on cybersecurity and supply chain risks. Recognizing the importance of cybersecurity risk, in May, 2023, the board participated in an education session with Professor Michael Parent, a recognized expert on corporate governeace with a particular focus on cybersecurity, data privacy and IT governance, regarding the oversight of cybersecurity risk.

Cyber risk features prominently on the risk register. The company manages cyber-related risks by establishing a common set of cybersecurity standards, periodic security testing, program maturity objectives, security partnerships and a unified security strategy built on a set of cybersecurity standards driven by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). This Ontario specific set of standards is in alignment with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cyber Security Framework. In addition to provincial regulatory requirements of the OEB, critical systems that support the North American Bulk Electric System are regulated by the North American Electric Reliability Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards. These two foundational frameworks establish strong security measures across all aspects of our operations.

Stakeholder Engagement

Hydro One is committed to understanding the interests of and maintaining and enhancing long-term relationships with our analysts, investors, regulators, governments, creditors, employees, customers, suppliers, non-governmental organizations, partners and other stakeholders and communities in which we operate. The board has a Corporate-Shareholder and Stakeholder Engagement Policy to promote open, effective and sustained dialogue with our shareholders and partners. This policy is consistent with the company's Insider Trading Policy and the Corporate Disclosure Policy and with our obligations to provide fair disclosure and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures.

The board chair and other independent directors meet with shareholders and investor groups throughout the year on a variety of issues both with, and independently from, management.

Hydro One's management team continued their global investor engagement through participation in conferences and execution of stakeholder meetings throughout the year. Stakeholder engagement, whether in a virtual, hybrid or in-person setting, remains a vital part of Hydro One's engagement strategy and provides an open and effective dialogue between our analysts, shareholders, management, and the board. Successfully executing the company's engagement strategy to keep analysts and investors informed this year was critical following the regulatory approval of our first-ever Joint Rate Application, the announcement of a leading First Nations partnership model, and the appointment of a new CEO. We continued to attend industry conferences, hosted non-deal roadshows and increased our engagement with investors globally, including engagements with investors across Europe, Asia, and Australia. Below is an overview of some of the key engagement events that the board and management participated in with shareholders in 2023.

50 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Engaging with our customers, partners, stakeholders and Indigenous communities continues to be critical to addressing their evolving needs. Throughout 2023, the company leveraged technology to engage with an even greater number of stakeholders and community members successfully and meaningfully. Below is a snapshot of how Hydro One engaged with some of our largest stakeholders in 2023:

Customers

• Residential and Small Business Customer Satisfaction - Overall customer satisfaction (CSAT) among residential and small business customers remained high at 87% in 2023, consistent with 2022. This demonstrates that customers continue to be very satisfied with the service they receive from Hydro One.

• Training Innovation - Hydro One earned the Chartwell Bronze Customer Service Award for the development of its virtual reality training plan. The training uses VR headsets to provide an immersive, safe, interactive environment for learning and training. VR headsets are used to transport Contact Centre and Field Staff virtually to the work site, providing a fully immersive, safe, interactive environment for active learning and training. Trainees enter a 360°, active learning environment, experiencing the sights and sounds at the administration centers and at a customer's property, dissolving the barrier between virtual and actual reality. By using innovative tools like VR, Hydro One can onboard employees efficiently and with an understanding of the end-to-end process to improve the customer experience.

• Customer Interaction Analytics -Throughout the year, we implemented various enhanced interactive analytics solutions across the different customer facing channels (i.e., calls, email, webchat) to systematically analyze the thousands of interactions we have with our customers. These insights are helping us gain additional visibility and allow us to make improvements to the customer experience and to our training programs. We improved the system by making coaching and training better to decrease the number of repeated calls. We also automated quality audits to review 100% of all non-subjective voice interactions in the contact centre. This will empower business intelligence decision-making and is creating the next generation of Customer Experience.

• myEnergy Rewards -In the spring of 2023, Hydro One launched myEnergy Rewards, a program that allows customers to enroll eligible smart home devices, such as smart thermostats, Electric Vehicles (EVs) and EV chargers, in exchange for receiving up to $185 in financial incentives for their participation in demand response events. This program empowers customers to help optimize Ontario's electricity grid, reducing stress on the system during times of peak demand by lessening or shifting their electricity usage. Initial results show that each participating household can decrease its electricity use by about 0.87 kW on average during times of high demand. With approximately 15,000 households enrolled that's the equivalent of a 13-megawatt virtual power plant that can be used as a flexible resource to address distribution system issues.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 51

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Large Customers

• In 2023 overall CSAT among Commercial and Industrial, Large Distribution and Transmission Connected Customers improved from 79% in 2022 to 84%. This improvement can be attributed to some of the following initiatives that occurred during the year and a closer relationship with our customers:

1. Educational Webinars on Billing

2. The Momentary Outage Tracking Tool

3. Customer Advocacy Internally (Process Improvements)

4. Establishment of Tier One Commercial and Industrial Account Management

• In 2023 we continued to work with the Province in the evolution of the EV industry by successfully ensuring that ample capacity and infrastructure can be provided for the announced Volkswagen plant in St. Thomas from both a temporary and permanent connection perspective.

• Along with the support of the EV industry we are also seeing increased demand for both data centres and large warehouse depots. These customer types are coming with proposed service sizes significantly larger than traditional connections on both the transmission and distribution systems. This poses some localized capacity challenges and will require creative solutions for capacity in both traditional and non-traditional methods.

• In addition to traditional work to enable increased demand for load connections, in 2023 there was significant effort to enable generation connections as required by the Independent Electricity System Operator. The announced connections for generation in both transmission and distribution system are expected to exceed 4,000 megawatts by 2027 and Hydro One has spent significant time and effort to enable the successful applications for connection.

52 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Communities

• Hydro One's community investment initiatives continue to have a meaningful impact in communities across Ontario.

• We promote employee-led giving and volunteering through our successful Power to Give program and work with a select number of signature charitable partners aligned with our value of Building Safe Communities.

• Highlights of these partnerships and programs include:

- Addressing pressing local needs through the Energizing Life Community Fund, Hydro One made contributions of $25,000 to 25 different municipalities, Indigenous communities, and charities across the province.

- In September, 2023, we held the 4th annual Power to Give Month at Hydro One. With the help of 181 volunteer employee Ambassadors who hosted over 150 events across the province and promoted other giving opportunities, we raised approximately $2 million, match inclusive, for causes selected by our employees. Employees also tracked volunteer hours throughout the year providing invaluable help to a wide variety of registered Canadian charities and not-for-profit organizations.

- We continue to support the ACT Foundation, which celebrated 3 million students being trained in CPR/AED in Ontario.

- We also supported Indigenous communities in Ontario through the creation of multi-year partnerships focused on cultural preservation, such as language preservation programs to connect youth back to their culture.

- Building upon our existing partnership with Coaches Association of Ontario (CAO) and the Little Native Hockey League, we launched Hydro One's Indigenous Hockey Coaching Grant. The grant was created to increase Indigenous representation in sports leadership by making hockey more affordable and accessible to coaches from Indigenous communities. Teams from 38 Indigenous communities received funding for expenses such as equipment, travel, and training.

- We endeavour to build trust with the communities in which we operate. This means maintaining open lines of communication with communities, while being ready and willing to address issues and concerns when they arise. For capital projects, it begins with involving communities and stakeholders early in the project lifecycle - actively listening, incorporating feedback where possible and working collaboratively with interested community members to mitigate local concerns and project risk alike.

- For all new major projects, Hydro One strives to ensure communities share in the benefits of the development of critical infrastructure. This will be accomplished by building partnerships - similar to what was achieved with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent and the Municipality of Lakeshore, which explicitly supports five critical transmission lines in Southwest Ontario. Building partnerships will necessarily involve the consideration of shareholder and community interests and be a central feature of our efforts to proactively demonstrate long-term commitment to the communities where we operate.

- In addition to building partnerships, we use a variety of community engagement tools and forums to involve communities and stakeholders in our capital program. In 2023, by leveraging online forums, virtual and in-person open houses, door-knocking campaigns, targeted ads and notifications, council presentations and one-on-one meetings, we have had more than 14,900 direct interactions with community members in Southwest and Northern Ontario, as well as Toronto, in support of major capital work.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 53

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Indigenous Peoples

• We continued to implement our corporate Indigenous Relations Policy to guide our efforts toward becoming a trusted partner to Indigenous communities and supporting meaningful economic reconciliation.

• Hydro One is committed to increasing our Indigenous spend to 5% of all our sourceable procurement by 2026. In 2023 our Indigenous procurement spend was $142.3 million, which was approximately 5.7% of total sourceable spend.

• As part of our community investment program, we are committed to ensuring that 20% of our corporate donations and sponsorships support Indigenous communities.

• Hydro One achieved the highest level certification with the Progressive Aboriginal Relations program of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, which is the Gold level.

• We continued our journey to meaningful economic reconciliation with Indigenous communities and entered into agreements for our First Nations Equity Partnership model that offers 50% of equity in all new transmission line projects to impacted First Nations on the Waasigan project. In 2023 we signed term sheets with four of five First Nations on the Chatham by Lakeshore project in support of the model and the project itself.

Public Disclosure of Governance Materials


We are committed to keeping our shareholders apprised of our corporate governance practices. The mandates for the board and each of its committees and other important governance-related materials, including our corporate governance guidelines and policies, are available to the public in the corporate governance section of our website at: https://www.hydroone.com/about/corporate-information/governance.

Internal Controls and Management Information Systems

The board oversees the integrity and effectiveness of our management information systems and internal controls, and approves our Corporate Disclosure Policy. This oversight is carried out primarily by the audit committee, which oversees our financial reporting and management's processes for evaluating and certifying the design and effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The audit committee meets separately with the Chief Financial Officer, the head of internal audit and with the external auditors without management present.

62 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

I - Letter to Shareholders

Dear fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of Hydro One's Human Resources Committee (Human Resources Committee or HRC) and the board of directors (the board), I am pleased to share our report on executive compensation.

The HRC oversees all aspects of human resources, including talent management, succession planning, executive compensation and labour relations, as part of our ongoing board efforts to meet the expectations of all Hydro One stakeholders.

Hydro One's executive compensation program is designed to support our corporate vision and strategy with a commitment to explain our approach in a simple and transparent manner. Our compensation philosophy is based on the principle of pay-at-risk tied to explicit performance results that create value for all stakeholders. To further align the executive compensation programs with our corporate strategy and compensation philosophy, a number of important updates were introduced in 2023 as described in the 2023 Executive Compensation Program section on page 64.

Key updates include:

A realignment of the ELT's roles and responsibilities including several internal promotions;

The re-introduction of equity-based pay;

A refreshed compensation peer group; and

The increase of pay-at-risk for our executives.

The HRC carefully assesses and makes recommendations to the board on how performance measures and targets are determined. These measures reflect the company's pay-for-performance philosophy, as well as short- and long-term strategic priorities. As always, our targets must be achieved within the principles of prudent risk management, good corporate governance, and compliance with relevant standards and regulations.

On behalf of the board, and with our compensation guiding principles in mind, the HRC oversees and assesses our compensation program, including payouts for the executive team, while working to continuously improve our practices and standards. We are committed to aligning pay with shareholder interests, while recognizing our unique stakeholder dynamics.

Executive Leadership Team Changes and Appointments

On February 1, 2023, David Lebeter, previously the Chief Operating Officer, became Hydro One's new President and CEO. Mr. Lebeter, in conjunction with the HRC, subsequently conducted an extensive review of the ELT and on April 13, 2023 announced a number of changes, as outlined below:

Chris Lopez took on additional responsibilities for the regulatory portfolio and became Executive Vice President (EVP), Chief Financial and Regulatory Officer;

Megan Telford took on expanded responsibilities for strategy, planning and key accounts as EVP, Strategy, Energy Transition and Human Resources;

Teri French was promoted from VP, Forestry Services and President and CEO of Hydro One Remote Communities Inc. to EVP, Operations and Customer Experience and later assumed responsibility of the Safety portfolio;

Andrew Spencer was promoted from VP, Transmission & Stations to EVP, Capital Portfolio Delivery; and

Following Paul Harricks, Chief Legal Officer's decision to transition to a Senior Advisor role and then retire at the end of 2023, Cassidy McFarlane was promoted to the role of General Counsel.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 63

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Subsequent changes that occurred throughout the year and into 2024 include:

Andrew Spencer assumed additional responsibilities overseeing the Digital & Technology Solutions portfolio on an interim basis;

Chris Lopez decided to leave the organization on June 30, 2024 after seven years of leadership and continued contribution to Hydro One's success;

Lisa Pearson joined Hydro One taking on the role of SVP, Corporate Affairs on February 5, 2024; and

Renée McKenzie joined Hydro One taking on the role of EVP, Digital & Technology on March 25, 2024.

The HRC and the board are confident this ELT reflects the deep strength of our talent base and effectiveness of our succession management processes. With Mr. Lebeter's proven leadership, we believe this team has the critical skills and capabilities to successfully execute Hydro One's corporate strategy, meet and exceed all our stakeholders' expectations, and drive the province's energy transition.

2023 Executive Compensation Program

Following the sunset of the Executive Compensation Framework (ECF) on January 1, 2023, and to ensure we can attract and retain experienced executives to guide Hydro One as it progresses through the profound and rapid energy transition taking place in Ontario, the HRC worked with its independent advisor and the ELT to consider a number of important updates to the 2023 executive compensation program. These changes were thoroughly assessed relative to our underlying compensation guiding principles which primarily emphasize performance-orientation, long-term focus and talent market competitiveness. The HRC feels strongly that this balances the interests of all stakeholders while retaining our commitment to customers and employees to provide a safe and reliable supply of electricity while operating with prudent fiscal management. We also committed to fair compensation for our executives reflecting the size, scope, impact, and complexity of our business. Key elements of the updated executive compensation program include:

as noted in 2023, an updated executive compensation benchmarking peer group that more accurately reflects the size, scope, impact and complexity of the company and positions us to be competitive in the market for executive talent. This peer group continues to reflect the dynamic of our ownership structure by including a unique mix of comparably-sized publicly traded and public sector (government-owned) energy and utility companies from across North America;

as shared in 2023, compensation targets set in reference to the market, while actual compensation increases are considered over time, based on changes to the scope and maturity of the executive's role and responsibilities, company and individual performance outcomes, and to support the succession planning process;

a payout cap of 110% of target for Short-term Incentive Plan (STIP) awards for the President and CEO and EVP level executives;

new awards under our equity-based Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP) that are 100% performance-based and vest at the end of four years for the President and CEO and EVPs. The purpose is to better reflect long-term strategic decision making and to provide greater alignment with long-term value creation for shareholders, customers and our diverse stakeholders;

enhanced share ownership guidelines for executives to maintain minimum levels of share ownership throughout employment and for a period of time post-retirement;

a new Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (DC SERP) for the President and CEO and EVP level executives to support individual retirement planning, and

a new allowance plan as part of our commitment to employee wellbeing.

It is important to note that our executive compensation program continues to provide the majority of executive compensation in at-risk, performance-based incentive plans (rather than guaranteed payments) that align with performance outcomes over the short- and long-term. These plans are well-balanced to reflect a variety of strategic performance outcomes that are important to the long-term success of the company on behalf of all of our stakeholders.

Additionally, it is noteworthy that the President and CEO and ELT compensation is entirely funded from the company's earnings, and it is not recovered through rates or paid by customers.

64 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

President and CEO Compensation

Mr. Lebeter's compensation was adjusted in 2023 to reflect his promotion from Chief Operating Officer to President and CEO as well as changes made to the executive compensation program. Our President and CEO's compensation reflects an updated peer group aligned with our competitive talent market. This alignment was reinforced during our President and CEO search process. The compensation also includes an increase over time to close the gap to market-competitive pay levels and the delivery of additional compensation through variable pay. In 2023, our target compensation for President and CEO delivered 75% of total direct compensation in performance-based pay compared to 67% in 2022, and was positioned below 11 of 16 companies in the peer group.

This performance reflects the successful execution of our balanced strategy to deliver value to all stakeholders.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 65

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Throughout 2023, Hydro One delivered upon several key strategic priorities:

Productivity and Net Income - Hydro One continued its strong productivity and financial performance by exceeding targets across both measures. Productivity savings for 2023 were $113.9M and net income to shareholders was $1,085M. Over the past three years, we delivered an average earnings per share of $1.73.

Growing the Capital Work Program - Hydro One continually focuses on effectively delivering the capital work program, expanding new facilities and reinvesting in Hydro One's existing infrastructure. Hydro One successfully delivered capital expenditures of $2,531M and In-Service Additions of $2,324M in 2023.

Environment, Social, and Governance - Hydro One remains committed to expanding our ESG focus by pursuing key initiatives across our priority areas of People, Planet, and the Community. We conducted our third annual employee engagement survey and saw our highest ever experience score of 71% and our highest safety score index of 88%. This reflects our initiative to strengthen employee engagement and our employees' knowledge that being the safest and most efficient utility is one of our top priorities. Our safety results (0.023 High Energy Serious Injury and Fatality incidents per 200,000 hours and 0.562 Recordable Incidents per 200,000) indicate strong performance in 2023. We remain committed to continually improving and striving for best-in-class safety performance.

Partnerships - Hydro One was awarded the Gold level certification from the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) recognizing our commitment and efforts to build a strong, lasting, and mutually beneficial relationship with Indigenous communities. Hydro One was also awarded the construction of three new priority transmission lines, partnering with several Indigenous partners to meet the growing electricity demands in Northeastern and Eastern Ontario.

Talent Management - Following Mr. Lebeter's appointment as President and CEO we leveraged our robust and effective succession program that identifies, assesses, and develops leaders to promote several of our existing executives into ELT roles. Hydro One remains committed to providing a strong and diverse leadership for the organization to execute our strategy of driving value creation for our stakeholders and responding to the profoundly changing energy sector.

Supporting our Strategy - In 2023, the board approved our refreshed strategy, emphasizing the essential role our people play in achieving our goals. Further details on our refreshed strategy will be provided in 2024.

Incentive Plan Results

Hydro One's compensation philosophy is based on the principle of pay-at-risk being tied to explicit performance results in order to create value for all stakeholders. In 2023, President and CEO pay-at-risk (through both the STIP and LTIP) was 75% of target total direct compensation (as compared to 67% in 2022) and the other NEOs pay-at-risk ranged from 62% to 65% of target total direct compensation.

Based on performance achievements defined in the 2023 corporate scorecard, the board approved an annual STIP payout of 112.39% of target. A full description of the 2023 corporate scorecard performance measures and results are provided under Short-term Incentive Decisions for 2023 starting on page 79.

Additionally, the HRC reviewed the performance achievements tied to our previous cash-based LTIP. Based on 2021 to 2023 performance against established measures, the board approved a 2021 LTIP payout of 147.41% of target. Executives subject to the executive compensation framework were capped at 100% of target award. Detailed results are provided under Long-term Incentive Decisions for 2023 starting on page 86.

No adjustments were made to either the 2023 STIP or 2021 cash-settled LTIP from the performance measures and targets established at the beginning of the performance period.

66 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

2024 Priorities

Hydro One's people and culture continue to be critical to the successful execution of the company's corporate strategy. We will continue to nurture a culture that will allow us to realize our purpose of energizing life with reliable and sustainable solutions for a brighter future. This also includes advancing our efforts in enhancing DEI across all levels of employment as part of the execution of our people strategy. We are also committed to supporting Mr. Lebeter as he fills the Chief Financial and Regulatory Officer vacancy on the ELT.

We regularly review our compensation philosophy for alignment with our strategy and the competitive talent market, as well as stakeholder expectations, and assess that our compensation targets are appropriately positioned for strategic success in the long-term. Given the importance of ESG, the HRC and the board will continue to work with the ELT to further strengthen the integration of ESG into our compensation plans.

The HRC and board of directors remain committed to open and transparent communication about our executive compensation program. We trust the CD&A provides you with clear and relevant information that allows you to understand and evaluate our executive compensation program and practices, and to cast an informed 'say on pay' vote at the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders. We welcome your comments and questions and invite you to submit them by email c/o the Corporate Secretary at

The framework set out certain requirements for compensation of Hydro One's executives, including setting the maximum allowable payout of STIP and cash-settled LTIP awards at 100% of target for the President and CEO and EVPs. These requirements will continue to remain in place for NEOs who received 2021 and 2022 cash-settled LTIP awards granted under the executive compensation framework.

Hydro One's updated executive compensation program is linked to performance, increases pay-at-risk, and considers the competitive talent market. The company remains committed to attracting, retaining and motivating the talent necessary to achieve its strategy, through prudent and pragmatic compensation programs that set pay in reference to the market in which we seek (or lose) critical talent.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

D. Compensation Governance

i. Human Resources Committee

One of the HRC's responsibilities is to assist the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the delivery of sustained corporate results through the attraction and retention of key senior management (see "Corporate Governance - Committee Reports - Human Resources Committee" starting on page 60).

All HRC members have gained the following relevant experience in human resources and compensation by serving as an executive officer (or equivalent) of a major organization and/or through prior service on the human resources committee of a stock exchange-listed company or otherwise, and through ongoing board of directors and committee education sessions. HRC members have a wide array of talent management responsibilities as per the broad mandate of the HRC. The following are specific areas of experience and expertise related to total rewards:

human resources experience (experience with benefit, pension and compensation programs, particularly executive compensation);

risk management experience (knowledge and experience with internal risk controls, risk assessments and reporting as it pertains to executive compensation); and

executive leadership experience (experience as a senior executive/officer of a publicly listed company or major organization).

Please refer to the biographies of our HRC members starting on page 16 and details of their additional skills and experience described on page 22.

ii. Compensation Advisors

The HRC engages with independent, external consultants for advice and consultation on executive compensation matters.

Since October 2018, Mercer (Canada) Limited (Mercer) has served as the independent consultant to the HRC, providing data and advice to assist the committee in carrying out its mandate.

All decisions and actions taken by the HRC and the board have been based on numerous factors and considerations which may, but do not necessarily, reflect the information provided by, or advice of, the advisors.

Aggregate compensation advisor fees (rounded and including taxes) paid to Mercer for executive compensation or related services provided to the HRC during 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Note:

In 2022, Mercer provided specific market compensation benchmarking analysis in the form of a custom compensation survey directed by the OEB for purposes of our joint (distribution and transmission) rate application filing before the OEB. This analysis was not related to executive compensation. While the HRC was not required to approve work related to the OEB benchmarking study prior to completion, the work was completed by a separate Mercer consultant distinct from the one providing advice to the HRC. No fees other than for executive compensation or related matters were charged by the independent advisor in either 2022 or 2023 for work requested by the HRC or board.

iii. Risk Management Process

Hydro One's executive compensation program is structured to provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with the company's risk profile and to ensure that compensation practices do not encourage excessive risk-taking by executives. Such risk mitigation practices include the compensation practices outlined below. Hydro One's compensation practices are reviewed annually by the HRC and a more detailed review is completed every other year as part of the HRC risk assessment process - the most recent review was completed in 2023 to ensure they align with the company's strategic plans, risk profile and risk management principles.

70 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

iv. Compensation Practices

Practice

Description

Anti-Hedging

Executives are prohibited from engaging in transactions that are designed to hedge, offset or otherwise reduce or limit their economic risk, including with respect to a decrease in market value of equity securities of the company granted as compensation, or held, directly or indirectly, by such individuals, or otherwise undermining their alignment with shareholder interests, except with the prior written approval of the HRC.

Prohibited transactions include hedging strategies, equity monetization transactions, transactions using short sales, put options, call options, exchange contracts, derivatives and other types of financial instruments (including, but not limited to, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds), and the pledging of or granting of any other security interest in equity securities of the company as security for any loan where recourse is limited to the pledged security.

Clawbacks

Executives may be required to forfeit outstanding incentive awards and repay incentive compensation that has already been paid if, among other things, there is wrongdoing, misconduct, a material misstatement of Hydro One's financial results, an error in any financial or operating measure used to determine incentive compensation amounts, or as may be required by applicable laws, stock exchange rules or other regulatory requirements. This applies to cash bonuses, Stock Options, Performance Share Units (PSUs), Restricted Share Units (RSUs), other equity-based compensation and performance cash-settled LTIP awards, whether vested or unvested, including those which have been paid or settled.

In 2023, Hydro One updated our clawback policy (Recoupment Policy) in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. In the event of an accounting restatement and except in very narrow circumstances, Hydro One will be required to recover certain incentive-based compensation paid to certain executive officers on or after October 2, 2023, to the extent such incentive-based compensation was paid on the basis of financial results in respect of any of Hydro One's three most recently completed fiscal years preceding the restatement.

The Recoupment Policy continues to apply in all other cases and applies to a broader group of employees of Hydro One and its subsidiaries. In addition, the broader clawback policy (i) permits the board to exercise its discretion in determining whether to recoup the incentive compensation; (ii) applies to a wider range of compensation and circumstances; and (iii) only recoups the after-tax amounts. In the event that both the Recoupment Policy and the pre-existing clawback policy apply, amounts recovered under one policy shall be credited to the amount that is subject to recovery under the other policy, such that there should not be any duplicative recovery.

Incentive

Compensation

Adjustments -

Principles and

Practices

Hydro One sets targets that are challenging, yet fair, and considers our strategy and business plan without encouraging excessive risk-taking. However, exceptional circumstances outside of management's control may occur.

The HRC has established principles and practices for incentive compensation adjustments. The purpose of these principles and practices is to provide clarity on the circumstances and process for considering any such exceptions. No such adjustments occurred in 2023.

Trading

Restrictions

Executives, directors and our employees are prohibited from trading Hydro One securities during our trading blackout period, and at any other time when they possess undisclosed material information.

Share Ownership

Guidelines

We require our executives to own Hydro One shares in order to have a vested interest in our future success and align their interests with Hydro One's shareholders. Our share ownership guidelines are based on the level or positioning of the employee. Our guidelines were reviewed and updated in 2023 to reflect changes in our compensation program. Our executives can count directly-owned shares or beneficial ownership of the company's common shares (the management Employee Share Ownership Plan, personal holdings and vested shares), management deferred share units (management DSUs), RSUs (new in 2023), 50% of equity-settled PSUs (new in 2023), and 25% of performance cash-settled LTIP grants towards their ownership guidelines.

Individuals have until the fifth anniversary (reduced from seven years in 2023) of the later of their start date, promotion to a level with a higher share ownership requirement, or the date they became subject to the guidelines, to meet their applicable share ownership requirement. If an executive has not met their requirements by the compliance deadline, they must receive some or all of their STIP award in management DSUs and/or apply 25% of the net after tax benefit realized by the settlement of any LTIP awards to purchase Hydro One common shares.

Our executives must generally maintain the ownership level as of the date of retirement for 24 months (in the case of the President and CEO) or 12 months (in the case of other executives).

For purposes of assessing the requirement, 50% of the value of equity-settled PSUs and 25% of the value of outstanding cash-settled LTIP is counted during the vesting period. Annually, the HRC reviews compliance of our executives with our share ownership guidelines. The inclusion of cash-settled LTIP grants will cease once the last grants vest in 2025. The inclusion of equity-settled PSUs with 100% performance-based payouts for the President and CEO and EVPs reflects the highly performance-oriented nature of the company's LTIP where no time-vesting only units were provided to NEOs in 2023, and the PSUs provide directional alignment with the company's share price.

Notes:

1.

Under the Share Ownership Guidelines, the value of the executive's holdings is based on the higher of: (1) the acquisition/grant price per share of the common shares on date of grant or purchase, and (2) the share price on December 29, 2023. DSUs do not include management DSUs granted in 2024 in respect of the 2023 STIP.

Mr. Sheffield was not subject to executive share ownership guidelines in his interim role and remained subject to Non-Employee Director Share Ownership Requirements as presented on page 27.

v.Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

At Hydro One, we are committed to operating safely in an environmentally and socially responsible manner while partnering with customers, Indigenous communities, and other community partners. We understand that our long-term performance depends on incorporating sustainability into all aspects of our business. Please refer to further details starting on page 38.

Given the importance of sustainability to Hydro One, we have incorporated specific ESG related measures directly into our incentive plans, including employee health and safety, customer and reliability objectives in the STIP collectively weighted at 50% of the overall corporate scorecard. In addition, the NEOs may have specific ESG related measures incorporated into their individual goals depending on the scope of their responsibilities.

We continue to review and update our sustainability strategy and will consider changes to the ESG related measures included within our various compensation plans in alignment with our sustainability strategy.

vi.Say on Pay

In accordance with Hydro One's corporate governance guidelines, the company will hold an advisory vote on the approach to executive compensation (say on pay). The purpose of a say on pay vote is to obtain shareholder input on executive compensation at each AGM. Please refer to further details on page 5.

E.Executive Compensation Decision-making Process

Hydro One's compensation decision-making process involves management, the HRC, independent compensation advisors and the board for final approval. Outlined below is a general overview of the process the company has followed in determining compensation.

To promote robust decisions and analysis of recommendations, and to ensure our diverse stakeholders are considered, management recommendations are brought forward at an initial HRC meeting and then reviewed and recommended to the board for approval at a subsequent meeting.

By having discussion and approvals conducted at separate meetings, we believe we are able to develop thoughtful solutions that consider the impacts of such on all of our stakeholders. If appropriate, additional analysis may be requested by the HRC or the board.

72 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Hydro One's management team, the HRC, the board and our independent compensation advisors all play a key role in determining compensation for the company's executives and in managing compensation risk.

In 2023, the HRC made several recommendations to the board related to our new compensation program to advance our pay-for-performance culture and drive an increase in at-risk pay, furthering the interest of our executives in the continued success of the company. The HRC may refine the program over time to ensure that it continues to be aligned with the company's strategy and long-term objectives.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

F.Named Executive Officer Pay Benchmarking

i.Compensation Peer Group Selection Criteria

As part of the review of Hydro One's executive compensation program and its alignment with the company's compensation philosophy, the HRC applied the following considerations to ensure the compensation peer group reflects the size, scope and complexity of the company while aligning with its market for executive talent, including:

Hydro One's core business as Canada's largest electricity transmission and distribution service provider;

the unique dynamic of Hydro One's ownership structure, recognizing the complexity of being a publicly-traded company with significant investment by the Province of Ontario;

the particular considerations inherent with highly regulated organizations having large societal impact; and

the limited number of comparable electricity transmission and distribution service providers in Canada.

Applying these considerations resulted in changes to the compensation peer group for 2023. ENMAX Corporation and Toronto Hydro Corporation were removed given their smaller relative size. Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. and Gibson Energy Inc. were deemed to be more comparable to Hydro One and were added. Four comparable US utility companies of varying ownership structures were added including: Ameren Corporation, Evergy, Inc., Oglethorpe Power and Santee Cooper. The group now contains a total of 16 organizations, including publicly-traded organizations in the energy and utilities industries and large government-owned utilities.

This updated peer group was used to inform total direct compensation design and pay levels for Hydro One's NEOs. Hydro One aims to be competitive with the peer group, over time, but does not target a specific percentile (such as the median). In line with peer practices and consistent with Hydro One's compensation philosophy, NEO total direct compensation is aligned with clear performance measures and stakeholder expectations over both the short- and long-term.

The following graph compares President and CEO compensation and the other NEOs compensation on aggregate to our peers. Compensation for the President and CEO and the other NEOs on aggregate is positioned below the median of the peer group with 11 of 16 peers providing higher compensation than Hydro One.

For details on the NEOs' 2023 target total direct compensation, please refer to Target Compensation Mix on page 77.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

b.2023 Short-term Incentive Plan (STIP)

Hydro One's STIP was designed to:

provide market competitive "pay-at-risk" necessary to attract, motivate and retain employees and executives;

reinforce strategic business objectives and a performance-oriented culture with significant elements of compensation-at-risk;

focus participants on the drivers of value creation; and

reward participants for achievement of annual corporate and individual performance goals.

All full-time non-union employees, including executives, are eligible to participate in the company's STIP. A summary of the components of the STIP is provided below.

Elements of

the Short-term

Incentive Plan

Impact on Award

How the Award is Determined

The amount of the award is a function of the executive's incentive target, corporate performance and individual performance.

For NEOs, awards are weighted 80% on achievement of corporate goals and 20% on achievement of individual goals.

Corporate Performance

Corporate performance is based on financial and non-financial measures, which seek to align corporate performance with the company's strategy as detailed in the corporate scorecard.

See pages 80 to 81 for more information about the performance measures and results related to the company's corporate scorecard.

Individual Performance

Individual performance is assessed based on the achievement of corporate-aligned performance objectives with a focus on delivering differentiated rewards to top performers. See the current NEO's key accomplishments starting on page 81.

Range of Awards

Awards may range from 0 to 110% of target for the President and CEO and EVPs, and from 0 to 150% of target short-term incentive for employees who hold an SVP level role (and below), based on corporate and individual performance.

Human Resources Committee/Board Judgment

The HRC considers whether adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect unusual or unanticipated events occurring during the performance period and recommends the "overall STIP performance multiplier" to the board for approval using informed judgment to ensure that compensation reflects the actual performance of the business.

Payout

The payout may be in cash or, at the option of an eligible executive, management DSUs. Management DSUs are fully vested notional shares and accrue dividend equivalents when dividends are paid on the common shares and are redeemable for cash at the prevailing market price of the common shares upon settlement, after the executive ceases to be employed.

Clawbacks

Amounts can be forfeited or clawed back under certain conditions. Specifically, an executive's STIP may be required to be repaid in situations where it later becomes clear that the performance metrics used to determine payment were not achieved, or in the event of a restatement of the company's earnings (or other company-specific results) that significantly reduces shareholder value. If the Recoupment Policy applies, the clawback will be mandatory except in very narrow circumstances.

78 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

The STIP payout is calculated based on the following formula.

Short-term Incentive Decisions for 2023

1.Corporate Performance Scorecard

Hydro One's corporate scorecard (scorecard) was developed by management and approved by the board, on the recommendation of the HRC, at the beginning of 2023. The scorecard performance measures were based on Hydro One's objectives and business plan for the year and established "threshold", "target" and "exceeds" performance levels for each performance measure. Hydro One's scorecard is a balanced scorecard measuring ESG, other non-financial and financial objectives with the aim of focusing the organization on key performance indicators that drive stakeholder value and align with the organization's strategy.

To establish the performance levels for the performance measures, management models a broad range of scenarios and provides benchmarking data to support the rationale behind the proposed measures and demonstrate the rigour embedded in the performance levels (threshold, target and exceeds) relative to similar organizations.

In addition, Hydro One continues to monitor comparators and emerging trends to ensure our approach is appropriate and aligned with best practice. The HRC, with input from its independent compensation advisors, had the opportunity to review and modify (as appropriate) the performance measures and levels before recommending the scorecard to the board for approval. No such adjustments or modifications occurred in 2023.

Hydro One is focused on corporate social responsibility and outlines its practices in its annual Sustainability Report. The scorecard is aligned with the sustainability issues that matter most to customers, employees, communities and shareholders including safety, improving reliability and customer favourability.

Payouts under the STIP for 2023 were based on Hydro One's corporate performance and each executive's individual performance relative to their personal scorecards. In determining the company's performance, the HRC reviewed management's assessment of Hydro One's performance against pre-established performance levels for each performance measure, and based on this and, using its informed judgment, approved the resulting performance payout.

The following table sets out Hydro One's corporate performance measures and results for 2023. Based on the company's results, the HRC recommended, and the board approved, an overall STIP performance multiplier equal to 112.39% of the target for 2023 for the corporate component.

If the company has a fatality, the attained High Energy Serious Injuries & Fatality measure will be reduced to 0% based on the findings of the System Investigation.

Overall, Hydro One drove strong performance against our objectives in 2023 including key advances on several measures:

Health and Safety: While our safety results for the year (0.562 Recordable Incidents per 200,000) demonstrate improvement, we know there is room for continued progress. In 2023, two employees sustained a High-Energy Serious Injury (HSIF) compared to one in 2022. This equates to a HSIF rate of 0.023 per 200,000 hours, which exceeded (is lower than) our annual target. Together, these results continue to reflect consistent progress made in preventing life-altering injuries and fatalities.

Productivity: We are pleased to have achieved $113.9M in productivity savings in 2023. Hydro One saw meaningful increases in productivity in areas such as operations, and supply chain management. Through these achievements, we are delivering on our multi-year commitment to keep costs as low as possible.

Reliability: Transmission (Tx) reliability significantly improved in 2023, with Q4 performance being the best in the past ten years due to favorable weather and a focus on implementing changes learned from post-event investigations. Distribution (Dx) reliability results fell short of target, in part because of the severe storms experienced during the year.

80 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Work Program: Hydro One continued to execute on its investment plan as Tx in-service additions were 4.5% better than target due to strong planning and execution across key projects. Furthermore, our ongoing commitment to storm response and restoration efforts for all customers and communities, in addition to a higher volume of customer connections during the year, resulted in Dx in-service additions significantly exceeding target during the period.

Net Income: 2023 net income attributable to common shareholders was approximately 7% better than target, due in part to higher peak demand and electricity consumption.

Customer: Year-end overall favourable impression of 82% was lower than our threshold and we have implemented an organization-wide focus to improve the customer experience.

The following details key accomplishments for our current NEOs during 2023.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

c. Long-term Incentive Plan

Hydro One's long-term incentive plan (LTIP) was designed to:

attract and retain highly qualified and experienced talent;

foster alignment with shareholder interests;

reward executives for longer-term value creation; and

provide market competitive compensation.

In 2023, Hydro One reintroduced an equity-based LTIP consisting of PSUs and RSUs. The President and CEO and EVPs receive their LTIP awards in 100% PSUs that vest at the end of four years. 2023 is a transition year between the new equity-based LTIP and the former cash-settled LTIP. Participants received a 2023 equity-based LTIP grant as well as a payout from the 2021 cash-settled LTIP that is reported as a payout in reference to performance from 2021-2023.

The PSUs provide strong alignment with shareholder interests as they are 100% performance based with the following performance measures in 2023:

Earnings per share (EPS), which rewards executives for delivering increased earnings to shareholders and includes the requirement that the dividend does not decrease in any rolling 12 months during the performance period, and

Relative total shareholder return (TSR), which rewards executives for achieving shareholder returns that are consistent with or better than the returns provided by peer organizations.

LTIP is available to executives and certain non-union employees of Hydro One as determined by the HRC. Non-employee board members are not eligible to participate. A summary of the components of the current LTIP is as follows:

Elements of

the Long-term

Incentive Plan

Impact on Award

Types of

Awards

Equity-Based LTIP: An award that will be settled in common shares in the future, subject to the achievement of specified criteria.

PSUs: Subject to performance and time vesting criteria and are fully-at risk. Form 100% of the LTIP awards for the President and CEO and EVPs.

RSUs: Subject to time vesting criteria and are only granted below EVP level.

Vesting

PSUs vest after the four-year performance period, subject to a performance multiplier based on achievement of specific performance measures, unless otherwise determined by the HRC.

Performance

Multiplier

Each PSU granted in 2023 is 100% performance based, subject to achieving certain performance levels for the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026 (the four-year performance period):

1. four-year average EPS (subject to a dividend rate modifier) - 75% weighting; and

2. four-year relative TSR (S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index) - 25% weighting.

The EPS and relative TSR performance measures demonstrate a commitment to achieving long-term growth for shareholders, which is consistent with or better than the growth delivered by other Canadian utilities.

Four-year average EPS: The net income attributable to shareholders for such fiscal period divided by the average outstanding shares during such fiscal period.

Dividend rate modifier: If the 12-month rolling average dividend rate during the performance period falls below the annualized quarterly dividend rate at the time of grant, a 0% modifier will be applied to the EPS performance multiplier. If the 12-month rolling average dividend rate during the performance period does not decrease from the level at grant, a 100% modifier will be applied to the EPS performance multiplier.

Relative TSR: Measures Hydro One's total shareholder return over the performance period relative to the total shareholder return for the S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index for the same period.

The index was selected for comparison as it reflects an established grouping of Canadian publicly traded industry peers for Hydro One.

84 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Elements of

the Long-term

Incentive Plan

Impact on Award

Range of

Awards

The PSU payout is a function of the overall performance multiplier which is based on the four-year average EPS performance (75% weighting) with a dividend rate modifier and the four-year relative TSR performance (25% weighting). The total award is subject to an overall maximum performance multiplier of 150%.

Human Resources

Committee/

Board Judgment

The HRC considers whether adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect unusual or unanticipated events occurring during the performance period and recommends the performance multiplier to the board for approval using informed judgment to ensure that compensation reflects the actual performance of the business.

Clawbacks

Amounts can be forfeited or clawed back under certain conditions. Specifically, an executive's vested long-term incentives may be required to be repaid in situations where it later becomes clear that the performance metrics used to determine payment were not achieved, or in the event of a material restatement of the company's earnings (or other company-specific results) that significantly reduces shareholder value. If the Recoupment Policy applies, the clawback will be mandatory except in very narrow circumstances.

2023 Long-term Incentive Grants Awarded

The performance measures for the 2023 equity-settled PSUs LTIP grant consist of a four-year average EPS measure with a dividend rate modifier (75% weighting) and a four-year relative TSR measure (25% weighting).

LTIP Grants awarded to the NEOs in 2023 are outlined below.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Long-term Incentive Decisions for 2023 (Granted in 2021, Paid in 2023)

In 2021, the board of directors approved the grant of cash-based LTIP awards to executives. The 2021 awards were aligned with the requirements of the executive compensation framework in place at the time of the award, and 100% performance based. The 2021 awards included productivity savings, EPS performance measures with a dividend rate modifier, and relative TSR performance. These targets were established at the time of grant and were based on the approved business plan in place at the time. To establish the performance levels (threshold, target and exceeds) corresponding to the performance measures, management provided the HRC with modelling of a broad range of scenarios to support the rationale behind the proposed measures and demonstrate the rigour and stretch embedded in the performance levels.

Over the 2021 to 2023 performance period, Hydro One's three-year average EPS, productivity savings and TSR performance relative to the peer group were strong, resulting in a performance multiplier of 147.41% for the 2021 grants. Since the 12-month rolling average dividend rate did not decrease during the three-year performance period, the dividend rate modifier for the 2021 award was 100%. These results reflect the organization's strong financial performance from 2021 to 2023.

Notes:

The LTIP productivity results over the 2021 to 2023 performance period are aligned with the methodology used to set targets at the time of grant. As a result, due to the differing inflation assumptions in place at the time of grant, productivity presented for LTIP will differ from that presented in other sections.

2.

Consistent with the requirements of the executive compensation framework, cash-settled LTIP payouts for President and CEO and EVPs who were EVPs in 2021 are capped at 100% of target.

d. Pension Benefits

1.Defined Contribution Pension Plan (DCPP)

Hydro One established a registered DCPP effective January 1, 2016. Hydro One's DCPP is designed to:

attract and retain employees;

result in lower and more stable cost over time compared to Hydro One's Defined Benefit Pension Plan; and

promote sharing of retirement savings responsibility between Hydro One and its employees.

A summary of the key terms of the Hydro One DCPP is presented below:

Eligibility

Eligible non-represented employees who were not already enrolled or eligible to enroll in the DBPP as of September 30, 2015. All but one of the current NEOs participate in the DCPP.

Employee contribution

Mandatory contribution of a minimum of 4% of pensionable earnings and a maximum contribution of 6% of pensionable earnings, subject to the limit outlined under the "DC SERP" below.

Employer match

Employee contributions are matched by Hydro One.

86 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Pensionable earnings

Base salary plus actual short-term incentive (but not exceeding 50% of base salary).

Supplemental plan

Effective as of January 1, 2018, once the total employee and employer contributions for the calendar year have reached the maximum contribution level permissible under a registered pension plan, as per the Income Tax Act (Canada), employee contributions cease and employer contributions are allocated to a notional supplemental pension plan account for the employee's benefit. The notional supplemental pension plan was approved by the board on December 8, 2017 and replaces a non-registered savings plan in which employer contributions were made on an after-tax basis.

In 2023 the DC SERP was amended to provide the President and CEO and EVP level executives with higher employer contributions to the notional account. Total employer contributions to the DCPP and DC SERP are now 15% of the President and CEO and EVP level executives' base earnings and STIP (to a maximum of 50% of the President and CEO and EVP level executives' base earnings). The DC SERP was only applicable to the President and CEO in 2023.

2.Defined Benefit Pension Plan (DBPP)

Hydro One established a registered DBPP effective December 31, 1999. One of the NEOs participates in this plan.

A summary of the key terms of the Hydro One DBPP for those hired prior to January 1, 2004 is presented below:

Eligibility

Non-represented employees who were eligible members of the DBPP prior to September 30, 2015 continue to participate in the DBPP. Newly hired non-union employees do not accrue credited service under the DBPP for service after September 30, 2015.

Employee

contribution

Eligible employees contribute 8.75% of their base annual earnings up to the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE) and 11.25% above the YMPE.

Pensionable

Earnings

Base salary plus 50% of actual short-term incentive up to an earnings limit of $350,000 as at December 1, 2016. The earnings limit is adjusted annually by CPI and was approximately $414,012 as at December 31, 2023.

Formula

For each year of credited service under the DBPP, to a maximum of 35 years, the benefit provided for each of the employees who participates in the DBPP is equal to 2% of the member's average base annual earnings during the 36 consecutive months (changing to 60 months on go-forward basis for service accrued on and after April 1, 2025) for non-union employees hired prior to January 1, 2004 when their base annual earnings were highest. This pension is reduced by 0.625% of the member's average base annual earnings up to the average year's maximum pensionable earnings during the 60 consecutive months for non-union employees hired prior to January 1, 2004 when their base earnings were highest. The reduction is intended to offset Canada Pension Plan benefits. The DBPP provides for early retirement with an unreduced pension at the earlier of age 65 or the attainment of age plus credited service totaling 82 (changing to 85 as of April 1, 2025 for anyone who has not reached 82 points on that date) or more.

A plan member who is not eligible for an unreduced pension can retire with a reduced pension any time after attaining age 55. Pension benefits payable to pensioners, beneficiaries and terminated employees with deferred pensions are increased annually, effective January 1 of each year equal to 100% of the increase in the Ontario Consumer Price Index for the 12-month period ending in June of the previous year. The normal form of pension for a member who does not have a spouse at retirement is a pension payable for life and guaranteed for five years. The normal form of pension for a member who has a spouse at retirement is a pension payable for the life of the member and continuing after the member's death to their spouse at the rate of 66.67% of the member's normal form.

Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular 87

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Supplemental

Pension Plan

Hydro One's defined benefit supplementary pension plan (the supplementary pension plan) provides benefits that are in excess of Income Tax Act (Canada) limits and that cannot be provided under the DBPP. The supplemental pension plan is unfunded and the benefits from this plan are paid from general revenues. Hydro One Inc.'s obligations to participants under the supplementary pension plan are secured by a letter of credit.

e. Management Employee Share Ownership Plan (Management ESOP)

Hydro One strongly supports share ownership by its employees and, accordingly, offers a Management ESOP for non-union employees. The plan provides participants with the opportunity to acquire common shares purchased on the market through payroll deduction on a voluntary basis. It is designed to:

promote an ownership culture among non-union employees;

align the interests of non-union employees with shareholder interests; and

increase employee awareness and alignment with Hydro One's performance.

All regular employees not represented by a union, who have completed at least six months of continuous service with the company prior to the date of enrolment in the plan, are eligible to participate. A summary of the components of the Management ESOP is provided below:

Element

Description

Source of shares

Shares are purchased on the market at prevailing prices (non-dilutive).

Employee contribution

Between 1% and 6% of base salary, through payroll deduction.

Employer match

Hydro One matches 50% of the employee contribution up to a maximum of $25,000 per year.

Vesting

Shares purchased prior to January 6, 2022 are subject to a sale or withdrawals limit of 50% of shares during any 12-month period relative to the number of shares credited to an employee's account at the start of the 12-month period. Shares purchased with employee contributions on or after January 6, 2022 vest immediately, while Hydro One matched shares have a two-year holding period requirement.

f. Other Benefits

Starting in 2023, we introduced a wellbeing allowance intended to cover wellness-related costs in support of our overall rewards philosophy and focus on employee wellbeing. In addition, the President and CEO and EVPs receive one executive medical examination per year. Executives are provided with an annual wellbeing allowance as follows:

President and CEO

$50,000

EVPs

$20,000 to $25,000

H. Compensation Disclosure

i.Share Performance

A fundamental principle of Hydro One's compensation philosophy is to align pay with performance and also ensure alignment of NEO compensation with experience of shareholders. The following graph compares the five-year total cumulative return of Hydro One shares relative to two major indices, the S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index. As indicated by the graph, a shareholder who invested $100 in Hydro One's common shares at the end of 2018 would have seen their investment grow to over $233 at the end of 2023, assuming reinvestment of dividends. This performance exceeded that of investing in both indices which would have returned $171 in the S&P/TSX Composite Index and $159 in the S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index.

In 2023, Hydro One shares generated a total return of 12.9%, and outperformed both the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index, which had returns of 11.8% and 0.2%, respectively.

88 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

Note:

1.

This chart includes dividends paid during the period, inclusive of re-invested dividends.

The company continues to deliver on its strategy of focusing on safety, reliability, customers, and Indigenous communities to build a grid for the future and support Ontario's economic growth. Steered by these principles, within its strategic priorities, the company successfully completed its 2023 annual work plans and deployed capital investments of approximately $2.5B. 2023 was also a significant year for a number of key initiatives including: the appointment of David Lebeter as President and CEO of the company, becoming the first utility in Canada to publish a Sustainable Financing Framework and issuing $2.375B of debt under the Sustainable Financing Framework and, being awarded three new transmission lines to meet the growing electricity demand in northeastern and eastern Ontario.

The board and management continued their robust engagement with shareholders through the annual general shareholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and meetings with current and prospective shareholders. Our stakeholder engagement encompasses both virtual and in-person formats.

ii. NEO Compensation and Alignment with Shareholder Value

The company's executive compensation program is intended to align the objectives of executives with those of the company and the long-term interests of shareholders. To ensure such alignment, our STIP and LTIP plans are directly linked to the financial results of Hydro One.

The aggregate cost of NEO compensation changed from approximately $6.0M in 2022 to approximately $10.3M in 2023. This increase was driven by cash-settled LTIP awards granted in 2021 and paid out in early 2024, as well as share-based LTIP awards granted in 2023.

iii. Supplemental Disclosure

As part of the transition from the cash-settled LTIP to the equity-based LTIP, the required summary compensation table disclosure results in both the 2023 equity-based LTIP grant and the 2021 cash-settled LTIP payout being disclosed in 2023. This does not reflect the underlying timing of each award and the following supplemental disclosure table summarizes the value of compensation granted in each of 2023, 2022 and 2021 to provide a more comparable summary of total direct compensation in each year. The chart below does not include pension value or all other compensation, which are reflected in the summary compensation table.

Annual Incentive Plans figures and methodology are consistent with what is reported in the Summary Compensation Table. In 2022, Mr. Sheffield received a discretionary bonus of $200,000 for his interim role.

3.

2023 Granted LTIP reflects the fair value on the grant date of the equity-settled PSUs. With the exception of Mr. Sheffield, 2022 and 2021 Granted LTIP represents the grant date value of cash-settled LTIP awards granted in the year. This methodology differs from the Summary Compensation Table where cash-settled LTIP values are reported once the performance conditions are satisfied. Mr. Sheffield was not eligible to receive equity-settled PSUs or a cash-settled LTIP award. Instead, Mr. Sheffield received DSUs as part of his compensation for his interim role under the non-employee director deferred share unit plan.

4.

Total Direct Compensation is calculated as the sum of Base Salary, Annual Incentive Plans and Granted LTIP.

5.

Mr. Sheffield was a non-employee board member and was appointed Interim President and CEO from June 21, 2022 to February 1, 2023.

iv.Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets out the compensation earned by the NEOs during the fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023, as applicable. Compensation in 2023 is non-comparable with 2021 and 2022 due to the company's move from cash-settled LTIP grants to equity-based LTIP grants. Since share-based incentives are reported in the year they are awarded and cash-based incentives are reported in the year they vest, 2021 and 2022 amounts show the LTIP payments from 2019 and 2020 awards, while 2023 amounts show the equity-based LTIP awards granted in 2023 as well as the LTIP payments from the 2021 cash-settled LTIP award. Comparable compensation for 2021, 2022 and 2023 can be seen in the previous supplemental table.

2023 Comparable Total Compensation

To assist with an accurate comparison of 2022 to 2023, this supplemental table provides a view of base salary, annual incentive plan, share-based awards and long-term incentive earned in each year, excluding the value of cash-settled long-term incentives that were earned in 2020 and 2021. The cash-settled long-term incentives paid out after three years and are being reported in 2022 and 2023 respectively in the summary compensation table. The below showcases compensation earned in 2022 and 2023 for Mr. Lebeter, Mr. Lopez, Mr. Spencer and Ms. Telford.

Notes:

1.

Base salaries presented are actual amounts earned for fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023, as applicable. 2023 base salary for Mr. Sheffield reflects time worked in his interim role in 2023 (January 1, 2023 to February 1, 2023). Ms. Telford's 2022 base salary includes a top-up for her interim role.

2.

For 2023, the dollar amounts represent the fair value of the awards on the grant date determined as a percentage of base salary (subject to rounding). The fair value of the PSUs was determined by multiplying the number of units granted by the closing price of the common shares on the date of grant. Other than the grant of DSUs to Mr. Sheffield, no share- or option-based awards were granted in 2021 or 2022. Mr. Sheffield received DSUs as part of his compensation for his interim role under the non-employee director deferred share unit plan.

3.

The short-term incentive awards attributed to the noted financial year are based on a percentage of base salary and are paid following approval of performance multipliers by the board in the following year. Executives can elect to receive up to 100% of the award in management DSUs. Mr. Sheffield's 2022 incentive was a special one-time performance bonus for his interim role. Messrs. Lebeter and Spencer elected to take 20% of their 2023 awards in management DSUs.

4.

For 2021, and 2022, a cash-settled performance-based LTIP award was granted to all NEOs as a percentage of their annual base salary, with the exception of Mr. Sheffield, who was not eligible. The actual payout for these awards at the time of vesting will be based on the achievement of predetermined corporate performance objectives which discerns the 2021 and 2022 disclosed compensation from 2023 disclosed compensation. The value of the cash-settled LTIP (see below in Outstanding cash-settled LTIP table on page 94) does not appear in the summary compensation table in the year of grant and is instead reported in the year in which performance criteria were satisfied. The cash-settled award granted in 2021 vested on February 28, 2024 following the end of the performance period on December 31, 2023, and is included in 2023 compensation based on the performance multiplier achieved (100.00% for Messrs. Lebeter, Lopez, and Harricks and Ms. Telford, and 147.41% for Mr. Spencer). As a result, the 2022 awards are not included in the table above, as the performance period for these grants will not end until 2024.

5.

The pension value for NEOs participating in the DCPP reflects the employer contributions made to the pension plan and supplemental plan during 2023. These values do not reflect the employee contributions or the investment gains/losses for fiscal year 2023. Mr. Spencer is currently the only NEO participating in the DBPP. The pension value includes a combination of annual current service cost as well as the past service impact of other compensating amounts. The DBPP provides a benefit, in respect of years of service up to 35, which is based on each plan member's highest average earnings at the time of his or her termination or retirement. The value of the increase or decrease in the present value of the defined benefit obligation is affected by differences between actual compensation for the year and the earnings increase assumptions for the year, assumed at the end of the prior year. When the actual earnings increase is not in line with the assumed level, it impacts the total defined benefit obligation in respect of past service. If the expected highest average earnings based on the most recent information is lower than the highest average earnings based on the prior year estimate, it results in a decrease in the defined benefit obligation. Effective December 1, 2016 earnings used for the highest average earnings calculation are capped at $350,000. Beginning on January 1, 2018 and each year thereafter the $350,000 earnings limit is increased by the change in the Consumer Price Index (Ontario).

6.

All NEOs participate in the Management ESOP, except for Mr. Sheffield who was not eligible. Amounts represent the employer contributions to management ESOP for Mr. Lebeter, Mr. Lopez, Mr. Spencer, Ms. Telford and Mr. Harricks. Amounts also represent for Mr. Lebeter a wellbeing allowance of $50,000 and $103,244 in travel, Mr. Lopez $195,746 in travel, and Mr. Spencer a non-pensionable and non-bonusable award of $58,872 for his interim role as EVP, Digital & Technology. Consistent with the executive compensation framework, none of the NEOs were entitled to perquisites or other personal benefits in 2021 and 2022. Mr. Sheffield's amount represents his board retainer earned from February 1, 2023 to June 2, 2023. Mr. Sheffield elected to receive his board retainer in DSUs, under the non-employee director deferred share unit plan. His pro rata board fees for Q2 2023 were awarded in cash.

7.

Mr. Lebeter was the Chief Operating Officer on December 31, 2022 and was appointed President and CEO effective February 1, 2023.

8.

Mr. Sheffield was appointed Interim President and CEO from June 21, 2022 to February 1, 2023.

Outstanding Share-based Awards and Option-based Awards

The following chart provides details regarding outstanding share-based awards for the NEOs based on the share price of $39.70 at close on December 29, 2023.

Note:

1.

The value of cash-settled LTIP awards reflect values at 100% of target performance and are not tied to share price. The actual value at the end of the performance period will depend on the achievement of the pre-determined three-year performance metrics. Consistent with the requirements of the executive compensation framework, for EVPs and above, cash-settled LTIP payouts are capped at 100% of target. Mr. Spencer's 2021 and 2022 awards are not capped at 100% because he was not an EVP prior to 2023.

Notes:

1.

Annual benefits payable at year end were determined using highest three or five years average earnings as applicable and credited service at December 31, 2023. Annual benefits payable at age 65 were determined by using highest three or five years average earnings as applicable at December 31, 2023, and expected credited service at age 65.

2.

The opening present value of the defined benefit obligation is the value of the projected pension earned for service as of December 31, 2022. The values have been determined using the same actuarial assumptions used for determining the pension plan obligations at December 31, 2022 as disclosed in the notes to Hydro One Inc.'s 2022 consolidated financial statements, based on the actual earnings for 2022 and adjusted to reflect expected increases in pensionable earnings.

3.

Value includes the impact of amounts attributable to interest accruing on the beginning-of-year obligation, changes in the actuarial assumptions, the NEO's own contributions and any other experienced gains and losses.

4.

Equals the value of the projected pension earned for service to December 31, 2023. Represents the defined benefit service cost (the value of the projected pension earned during the year, net of NEO's contributions to the plan) and the impact of any differences between actual increases in 2023 earnings and the actual assumptions used for the year. The values have been determined using the same actuarial assumptions used for determining the pension plan obligations at December 31, 2023 as disclosed in Hydro One Inc.'s 2023 consolidated financial statements.

The NEOs may voluntarily resign their employment at any time; Messrs. Lebeter, Spencer and Ms. Telford are required to give three (3) months' notice. Mr. Lopez provided notice of his intention to resign effective June 30, 2024. Under the terms of Mr. Lopez' retention agreement, he will receive a severance payment as per the termination without cause provisions, accelerated vesting for all outstanding LTIP awards as of his date of resignation (at 100% of target performance) and a prorated short-term incentive award at target.

96 Hydro One Limited | 2024 Management Information Circular

2.

All NEOs, with the exception of Mr. Lebeter, are considered to have 'retired' under the cash-settled LTIP if the retirement has been approved by the board, the NEO complies with such conditions as the board may require in connection with its approval, has given six (6) months prior notice, is paid no cash severance payment or retiring allowance or equivalent, and has complied with transitional activities as may be reasonably required during the period from the date of notice until the date the NEO ceases active employment. If these criteria are not satisfied, the termination of employment will be treated as a resignation, and the appropriate termination provisions will apply. For purposes of the LTIP, NEOs are considered to have retired if the retirement has been approved by the board, the NEO complies with such conditions as the board may require in connection with its approval, has given six (6) months prior notice, is not paid or entitled to receive any termination pay, severance pay, retiring allowance or equivalent, and has complied with transitional activities as may be reasonably required during the period from the date of notice until the date the NEO ceases active employment. Any awards eligible for continued vesting must have been granted at least 6 months prior to the date the NEO provided notice of their intention to retire. If these criteria are not satisfied, the termination of employment will be treated as a resignation, and the appropriate termination provisions will apply. For purposes of the STIP, NEOs are considered to have retired if they reach age 55 or such lesser age and service threshold as the board determines. NEOs will forfeit any awards that have vested but have not been paid out or settled in the event of a breach of any non-competition or non-solicitation obligation. For Mr. Lebeter, the board has applied its discretion and approved the following: if Mr. Lebeter has completed a minimum of three (3) years continuous service in the role of President and CEO, the Board may in its sole discretion decide to terminate Mr. Lebeter's employment and characterize it for all purposes as a retirement. If Mr. Lebeter accepts this treatment and complies with such transitional activities as may be reasonably required by the Company during the period from the date of notification of such retirement until the date active employment ceases with the Company and its affiliates, Mr. Lebeter will be entitled to have his LTIP awards continue to vest and to also receive the separation package under termination without cause.

3.

The payout multiplier for Mr. Lebeter is 2x and for Mr. Lopez and Ms. Telford is 1.5x. Mr. Spencer is entitled to one month's base salary per completed year of service up to 24 months. Ms. Telford and Mr. Spencer are entitled to 1x bonus.

4.

6.

If a participant has not committed an act or has not failed to take any action, that has resulted or could damage the company or its reputation, a pro rata portion of the participant's awards will vest, subject to, for cash-settled LTIP, the participant having five (5) years of service.

PSU - A PSU entitles the participant to receive common shares following the achievement of specified performance- and time-vesting conditions. The HRC has the authority to determine at the time of grant, in its sole discretion, the duration of the vesting period and other vesting terms applicable to the grant of PSUs. The HRC may elect to settle PSUs in cash.(1)

RSU - A RSU entitles the participant to receive common shares following the achievement of specified time-vesting conditions.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Types of

Awards

(continued)

The LTIP also contemplates the possibility of grants of:

Options - An option is the right to acquire a common share on a future date on payment of the exercise price. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. Standard four-year vesting unless otherwise specified by the HRC. The term of an option may not exceed 10 years.

Restricted shares - A restricted share award is an award of common shares subject to forfeiture restrictions.

DSU - A DSU is an award that entitles the participant to receive common shares following termination of employment or service with the company. DSUs may be subject to performance conditions or other vesting conditions. Management DSUs are granted under a separate cash-settled plan.

SAR - A share appreciation right (SAR) is the right to receive common shares equal in value to the appreciation in the value of a common share over a period. The base price against which a SAR is to be measured may not be less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. An option and a SAR may be granted in tandem, in which event the SAR will vest and be exercisable on the same dates as the related option and the exercise of the option results in the surrender of the SAR, and vice versa. Standard four-year vesting unless otherwise specified by the HRC The term of a SAR may not exceed 10 years.

Other awards - Other awards are awards that are convertible into or otherwise based on the common shares.

Eligibility

Employees and consultants of Hydro One and its affiliates as determined by the HRC. Non-employee directors on the board are not eligible.

Maximum

No. of Shares

Authorized

11,900,000 common shares or approximately 2% of the issued and outstanding shares. Within that limit the maximum number of common shares which may be issued as PSUs, RSUs or DSUs is 4,760,000 common shares (or approximately 0.79% of the issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2023).

If an award expires without exercise, is cancelled, forfeited or terminated or otherwise is settled without the issuance of common shares, common shares which were issuable under the award will be available for future grants. Common shares issued under awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the acquisition will not reduce the number of shares available for awards under the LTIP unless otherwise required by law or stock exchange rule.

Insider Limits

Under the LTIP and any other Hydro One security-based compensation arrangements:

• maximum number of common shares issuable to insiders at any time is 10% of the outstanding common shares.

• maximum number of common shares issuable to insiders within any one-year period is 10% of the outstanding common shares.

• the LTIP does not provide for a maximum number of common shares which may be issued to an individual pursuant to the LTIP and any other security-based compensation arrangement (expressed as a percentage or otherwise).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Change in

Control(3)

The HRC may provide for the conversion or exchange of outstanding awards for new awards or other securities of substantially equivalent value (or greater value) in any entity participating in or resulting from the change in control, or, for the accelerated vesting or delivery of shares under awards, or for a cash-out of outstanding awards.

Definition

of Change

in Control

Subject to certain exceptions, means:

(a) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the company are acquired;

(b) all or substantially all of the assets of the company are sold, assigned or transferred, other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary;

(c) an acquisition of the company via merger, amalgamation, consolidation, statutory arrangement or otherwise or the dissolution or liquidation of the company;

(d) individuals who, at the beginning of any two-year period constitute the board of directors, cease to constitute a majority of the board, excluding any individuals whose service ceased due to death during such two-year period;(4)

(e) pursuant to its rights in the Governance Agreement, the Province replaces the entire board (other than the President and CEO) and, in its discretion, the chair of the board;(4)

(f) a change is made to an Ontario law or regulation that:

(i) both (A) expressly states that it applies either (1) to Hydro One or an affiliate or (2) companies in the electrical transmission and/or distribution business generally but has a disproportionate effect on Hydro One and its affiliates as a whole, and (B) would materially adversely affect the ability of Hydro One to achieve any corporate performance measures set out in any outstanding awards; or

(ii) imposes limits on the quantum of compensation that may be paid to non-union employees of Hydro One or its affiliates other than restrictions established for rate approval or other purposes which do not restrict amounts actually paid;(4) or

(g) the board passes a resolution confirming that a change in control has occurred.

As a result of limitations on the ownership of the company's shares under the Electricity Act (Ontario), there would have to be an amendment to such statute for a change in control to occur in certain circumstances.

Assignability

Options are generally not assignable or transferable. Other awards may be assigned to a 'permitted assign' (as defined under Canadian securities law), which includes a spouse, registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund or personal holding company.

(b) permits non-employee directors to receive awards;

(d) extends the term of any award beyond its original expiration date (except where the expiration date would have fallen within a company blackout period or within five business days thereof);

(e) permits an award to be exercisable or settled beyond 10 years from its grant date (except where the expiration date would have fallen within a company blackout period);

OTHER INFORMATION

Other Information

Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance

Hydro One carries traditional directors' and officers' insurance (the traditional policy) which has a total policy limit of $200 million in the aggregate, including defence costs. In 2015, Hydro One purchased public offering of securities directors' and officers' liability insurance (POSI, the public offering of securities policy) to cover the directors and officers and the company against claims arising out of the Initial Public Offering, subsequent offerings of equity by the province, and the offering of convertible debentures in 2017. The limit on this policy was also $200 million in the aggregate, including defence costs, and protected against claims made six years after the last offering. The POSI expired in August of 2023 coinciding with the statute of limitations for filing claims. There are no plans to renew this policy. Under both policies, Hydro One and its subsidiaries are reimbursed for payments made under indemnity provisions on behalf of directors and officers for actual or alleged wrongful acts committed in their insured capacity, subject to all the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policies. The traditional policy has a $500,000 deductible and the public offering of securities policy had a $100,000 deductible for indemnifiable claims. The 2023 premium costs for these policies, exclusive of taxes, are: $705,825 for the traditional policy; and $15,927 (annualized portion of the total premium cost over the life of the policy) for the public offering of securities policy.

Indebtedness of Directors, Officers and Employees

No director, executive officer, employee, former director, former executive officer or former employee or associate of any director or executive officer of Hydro One or any of its subsidiaries had any outstanding indebtedness to Hydro One or any of its subsidiaries except routine indebtedness or had any indebtedness that was the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by Hydro One or any of its subsidiaries.

Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions

Other than as noted below and elsewhere in this circular, there are no material interests, direct or indirect, of any director or executive officer of the company, any shareholder that beneficially owns, or controls or directs (directly or indirectly), more than 10% of any class or series of Hydro One's common shares, any proposed director, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, in any transaction since the commencement of the company's most recently completed financial year before the date hereof that has materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect the company.

In connection with the initial public offering, on November 5, 2015, the company entered into: (i) the Governance Agreement with the Province; and (ii) a registration rights agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) with the Province granting the Province certain rights with respect to future sales of common shares owned by the Province. On July 11, 2018, the company entered into the July 11 Letter Agreement with the Province as described starting on page 30 of this circular.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

Other than the election of directors of Hydro One or as otherwise set out in this circular, no director or executive officer of the company, since the beginning of the company's last financial year, proposed director, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the meeting.
