(TSX\/NYSE: AQN) (\u201cAQN\u201d, \u201cAlgonquin\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) announced today that its Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) has appointed CEO Rod West to the Board. The Board also intends to appoint Gavin Molinelli, Senior Partner and Portfolio Manager at Starboard Value LP (together with certain of its affiliates, \u201cStarboard\u201d) to the Board, subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Mr. Molinelli\u2019s appointment will become effective immediately following the receipt of such approval. Following the appointments of Mr. West and Mr. Molinelli, the Board will be comprised of 11 directors, 9 of whom are independent.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cFollowing constructive discussions with Starboard, we are pleased to have reached this agreement which we believe benefits all of our shareholders. Gavin will be a valuable addition to our Board as we focus on moving the Company forward on its clearly stated strategy to transition to a pure-play regulated utility,\u201d said Randy Laney, Chairman of the Board.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Laney added, \u201cWe\u2019re proud to have a CEO of Rod\u2019s caliber leading Algonquin into the future and delighted to welcome him to the Board. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Rod and the management team to execute our strategy and unlock value for our stakeholders.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI am excited to join the Board and look forward to working with Gavin and my fellow board members to advance our future path towards creating substantial value for our shareholders and broader stakeholder community,\u201d said Mr. West. \u201cOur Board and management team remain fervently focused on improving the Company\u2019s operational efficiency and accelerating execution as a pure-play regulated utility for the benefit of our shareholders, customers, employees and communities we serve.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nGavin Molinelli, Senior Partner and Portfolio Manager of Starboard, commented, \u201cThroughout the course of our engagement with Algonquin, we have appreciated the collaborative and open dialogue we have had with members of the Board and management team. We invested in Algonquin because of its great portfolio of utility assets across attractive modalities and regulatory jurisdictions, which we believe have tremendous untapped earnings potential. There is a substantial opportunity at Algonquin to improve the Company\u2019s earned ROE, which should result in meaningful earnings growth going forward. I look forward to working closely with Rod and the Company to drive further operational and financial improvements and enhance value for shareholders.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn connection with the foregoing, the Company and Starboard, which owns approximately 8.66% of Algonquin&#8217;s outstanding common shares, have entered into a cooperation agreement (the &#8220;Agreement&#8221;) dated March 13, 2025. Pursuant to the Agreement, Starboard has agreed to support the Company&#8217;s nominees for election at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. In addition, Starboard and the Company have agreed to customary standstill, voting and other provisions related to, among other things, the composition of the Board, expiring on the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 business days prior to the deadline for the submission of shareholder nominations for the Company\u2019s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders or (ii) 75 days prior to the first anniversary of the Company\u2019s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.

These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. AQN cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in AQN&#8217;s Annual Information Form and Annual Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024, each of which is available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR.
