TransAlta Announces Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

CALGARY, Nov. 13, 2018 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta" or the "Company") (TSX: TA, NYSE: TAC) today announced the appointment of Christophe Dehout to Chief Financial Officer. Effective immediately, he will replace Brett Gellner, who will continue to serve as Chief Strategy and Investment Officer of TransAlta.

Mr. Dehout brings broad experience in power generation and extensive knowledge of capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and corporate transformations. Most recently Mr. Dehout was at Engie SA as Project Director and Deputy Head of Performance and Group Transformation where he contributed to the successful closing of the transfer of Engie's LNG division to Total SA. Prior to that, Mr. Dehout held increasingly senior roles at Engie where he saw first-hand the conversion of coal and gas power generation to renewables.

"We are excited that Christophe has joined the TransAlta team as our new Chief Financial Officer," said Dawn Farrell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Christophe brings extensive financial and strategic experience. This, combined with his deep knowledge of the global power market will be pivotal as we transform the company and transition to clean power by 2025."
