NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

This Offer is made for the securities of a foreign issuer and while the offer is subject to Canadian disclosure requirements, investors should be aware that these requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Western Wind is located in a foreign country, and that some or all of its officers and directors and the experts named in the Offer and Circular are residents of a foreign country.

In addition, it may be difficult for Shareholders in the United States to enforce their rights and any claim they may have arising under United States federal and state securities Laws since the Offeror is a corporation formed under the Laws of Ontario, Brookfield Renewable is a limited partnership established under the Laws of Bermuda and Western Wind is incorporated under the Laws of British Columbia; the majority of the officers and directors of each of the Offeror, Brookfield Renewable and Western Wind reside outside the United States; some of the experts named herein may reside outside the United States; and certain of the assets of the Offeror and Brookfield Renewable and the other above-mentioned persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders in the United States may not be able to sue the Offeror, Brookfield Renewable, Western Wind or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violation of United States federal securities Laws. It may be difficult to compel such parties to subject themselves to the jurisdiction of a court in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained from a court of the United States.

Investors should be aware that the Offeror, Brookfield Renewable or their affiliates, directly or indirectly, may bid for or make purchases of Western Wind’s Common Shares, or of Western Wind’s related securities, during the period of the Offer, as permitted by applicable Laws.

Shareholders in the United States should be aware that the disposition of Common Shares by them as described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences may not be fully described herein and such holders are urged to consult their tax advisors. See Section 14 of the Circular, “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and Section 15 of the Circular, “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

The Offer is being made only for Common Shares and is not made for any Options or Warrants. Any holder of Options or Warrants who wishes to accept the Offer must, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Options or Warrants and applicable Laws, exercise such Options or Warrants in order to obtain certificates representing Common Shares and deposit those Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Any such exercise must be completed sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time to ensure that the holder of such Options or Warrants will have certificates representing the Common Shares received on such exercise available for deposit at or prior to the Expiry Time, or in sufficient time to comply with the procedures referred to in Section 3 of the Original Offer, “Manner of Acceptance — Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery”.

Common Shares issued on the exercise of Options, Warrants or other Western Wind securities that are convertible into Common Shares shall, subject to compliance with the procedures applicable generally to the tendering of Common Shares of the Offer, be eligible to be tendered under the Offer.

The tax consequences to holders of Options or Warrants exercising their Options or Warrants are not described herein or in either Section 14 of the Circular, “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” or in Section 15 of the Circular, “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”. Holders of Options or Warrants should consult their tax advisors for advice with respect to potential income tax consequences to them in connection with the decision whether to exercise their Options or Warrants.
