Letter to shareholders

Dear shareholder,

In a year that saw continued war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and inflationary pressures on every consumer, the need for safe, reliable and affordable energy is in sharper focus across the globe. Energy demand continues to grow, as does the attention on climate change. To sustainably meet our energy needs today and into the future, we need a practical and balanced approach, and energy systems that include responsibly produced natural gas and oil, as well as renewables and lower-carbon options.

Against this backdrop, Enbridge’s mission remains vital and clear: to be the first-choice energy delivery company of our stakeholders—valued by our customers across North America and beyond, trusted by communities where we operate, a dependable advisor to regulators and policy makers, and an inclusive and empowering workplace for our employees. And as we continue to do that well, and execute on our strategy, we create value for you, our shareholders.

Delivering on our mission is our Enbridge team—proud and passionate people who are dedicated to safely, reliably and sustainably delivering the energy our world needs. They believe in our Company and are driven by a sense of purpose and desire to serve our customers’ energy needs—24/7, 365 days a year. We’re grateful for their service and thank them for their loyalty.

Your first-choice energy delivery company

The Company’s strong performance in 2023 reflects the diversification and resiliency of the business and ability to navigate persistent challenges in the economy and environment with little disruption to our strategic goals. The financial discipline that is the Company’s hallmark allowed us to perform well, grow in every area of the business and add attractive lower-carbon opportunities.

Of course, our performance is nothing without a solid safety record. In 2023, we maintained an industry leading benchmark for integrity management and advanced our continuous improvement mindset. Throughout the year, we took steps to further enhance our safety programs and culture, which resulted in record performance for occupational and process safety, as well as environmental performance.

On the financial side, we handily exceeded the midpoint of our 2023 financial guidance on both earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and distributable cash flow (“DCF”) per share. We deployed over $3 billion of investment capacity towards tuck-in acquisitions, and secured another $10 billion of attractive, organic growth projects. All in, this increases our secured portfolio to $24 billion. As you’ll see in the call out box, we also made a strategic move by further expanding our gas utility footprint in North America. Looking ahead, we announced an increase to our dividend in 2024 by 3%, our 29^th consecutive annual increase.

Here are highlights across our core businesses:

Gas Transmission and Midstream: We advanced our liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) export strategy with the $400 million acquisition of Aitken Creek natural gas storage in B.C. and the US$335 million acquisition of Tres Palacios natural gas storage in Texas. We’re connected to four operating LNG facilities in the U.S. Gulf Coast and poised to serve more with three executed precedent agreements for gas transmission to those facilities. We invested in Smartpipe^®, an innovative technology, to enhance the safety and operational reliability of our systems while also reducing emissions. And, we’ve made significant investments in renewable natural gas (“RNG”), which is blended into the natural gas stream to lower the carbon content. These investments include food-to-waste company Divert Inc.,

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

where we broke ground on a facility in Longview, WA, and the acquisition of Morrow Renewables, which includes seven landfill-to-RNG assets. We were also selected by the Department of Energy to advance one of the first hydrogen hubs in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.

Gas Distribution and Storage: We added over 46,000 new customers to our natural gas utility. Ontario’s population and industrial growth means that we, along with the government of Ontario, expect natural gas to be critical to affordably meeting customer energy demand and the province’s economic growth. This business is poised to grow significantly with the acquisition of three gas utilities in the U.S. See the call out box for more information.

Liquids Pipelines: We demonstrated our commitment to customers by reaching a win-win-win Mainline tolling settlement that will see customers receive first-choice service at competitive tolls, Enbridge earn attractive risk-adjusted returns, and help ensure safe, reliable and affordable energy for society. Both our Mainline system and our Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center (the largest export facility in North America) delivered record volumes in 2023. We also further bolstered our U.S. Gulf Coast strategy with an increased ownership in Gray Oak pipeline, and conducted an open season on Flanagan South, which secures long-haul transportation from Western Canada down to the Gulf Coast for customers.

Power Generation: We increased our ownership in two German offshore wind projects and were selected to develop the Normandy project, which is expected to be France’s largest offshore wind farm to date. We expect to bring two more French offshore wind projects into operation this year. Onshore, we announced a 50% joint venture in the Fox Squirrel solar project in Ohio with our longstanding partner, EDF Renewables. The first phase of that asset went into commercial operation in January 2024. Overall, we see approximately 6.2GW of North American onshore development growth opportunities through 2030.

First-choice investment

We aim to be your first-choice investment and are committed to providing value to shareholders. The strength and predictability of our core businesses, our disciplined approach to capital allocation and a strong balance sheet puts us in a great position to grow and meet energy demand safely, reliably, affordably and sustainably, while providing shareholders with the investment returns they have come to expect from Enbridge.

We expect EBITDA in 2024 to be between $16.6 billion and

$17.2 billion (even before taking into account any additional

contributions from the newly acquired U.S. gas utilities). This translates to more than 4% growth over the 2023 guidance midpoint, and DCF per share of $5.40 to $5.80.¹

U.S. gas utilities acquisition—a transformative deal

In September, we announced the US$14 billion ($19 billion) acquisition of three U.S. natural gas utilities from Dominion Energy. This is a rare and unprecedented opportunity to acquire high quality, growing natural gas utilities at scale and at a historically attractive valuation. On March 7^th, we completed the first of these important acquisitions—of the East Ohio Gas Company (now doing business as Enbridge Gas Ohio), following the approval by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

The U.S. utilities acquisition is a transformative opportunity that establishes Enbridge as the largest (by volume) natural gas distribution company in North America. The utilities are ‘must have’ infrastructure for providing safe, reliable and affordable energy for some three million customers in Ohio, North Carolina, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho and add to the four million customers we currently serve through our Ontario gas utility. And similar to Enbridge’s existing business units, the utilities have a commitment to embedded sustainability and lower carbon initiatives in their operations.

The acquisition supports a more diversified Enbridge, lowers our already industry-leading business risk profile, elevates our existing utility-like model and underpins the longevity of our growth profile—both earnings and dividends.

We have protected our balance sheet strength by employing a flexible funding plan that includes equity prefunding and asset recycling. Enbridge is positioned to fund the remainder of the transaction using the variety of options available to us. For shareholders, once again this acquisition aligns with our low risk value proposition: stability, strength, consistency, growth and optionality.

Our vision for the future

It’s been 75 years since our incorporation as Interprovincial Pipeline and the beginning of Enbridge’s history delivering energy to people in North America. As we celebrate this milestone, we look to the future with a new vision: to provide energy in a planet-friendly way, everywhere people need it. This vision shapes our strategic decisions and actions as we move forward with:

• A diversified portfolio across liquids, gas, renewables and new energy technologies

• A focus on helping people live in both an environmentally and economically sustainable way

¹  DCF and DCF per share are non-GAAP measures; these measures are defined and reconciled in the Non-GAAP and other financial measures section of Appendix C.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

• A global mindset to provide energy to people and regions throughout the world

This will continue to shape our future as we make investments in both conventional energy and lower carbon opportunities. Our view is that the energy transition needs all available options, with natural gas being one of the best. It’s a critical energy source that can drive down global emissions as an alternate to coal, a complement to renewables, and a way to help reduce energy poverty for millions around the world.

As an industry, it’s on us to make progress to decarbonize the energy we transport. That’s why Enbridge is modernizing our conventional energy systems to enable reliability and lower emissions, blending natural gas with even lower-carbon fuels like hydrogen and RNG and continuing to invest in carbon capture and storage. We’re also working closely with our customers and shippers to provide them with innovative solutions that support their needs and help them reduce their own emissions.

Governance

The Board is committed to clear and transparent disclosure and we’re engaged with the management team on how we communicate with our stakeholders. That includes taking time to listen and understand their perspectives.

This year, as part of the commitments made in our Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan, we established our Indigenous Advisory Group, comprised of Indigenous leaders from across North America. The group meets with members of the senior leadership team four times a year and with the Board annually. We are honored to listen and learn from these leaders and consider their perspectives and interests as we make decisions that impact communities where we operate.

Our Board is made up of diverse, highly qualified and experienced business leaders who bring forward their knowledge and broad leadership perspectives to guide this Company.

In 2023, we were pleased to welcome Manjit Minhas to our Board. Manjit brings extensive entrepreneurial, governance and community engagement experience as the co-founder and CEO of Minhas Breweries, Distilleries and Wineries. We’ve also included information about a new Board

candidate, Theresa Jang, who will stand for election at the annual meeting. The broad-based business acumen and experience of both Manjit and Theresa complement our Board’s strong skill set.

We’d like to acknowledge and thank Dan Tutcher who will be retiring after this year’s annual meeting. Dan has been a valued member of our Board for 18 years and his counsel and dedication to Enbridge will be greatly missed.

Thank you

In our first year as CEO and Board Chair, we are extremely appreciative of the opportunity to serve all who put their trust in Enbridge. We are grateful to our customers and stakeholders for their continued loyalty and are pleased to be your first-choice energy partner. Thank you to our shareholders for your support and confidence in Enbridge. We continue to work hard to be your first-choice investment. Thank you to our Board colleagues for their amazing stewardship on behalf of our investors. Finally, thank you to the Enbridge team for ensuring the safe delivery of the energy we all need. Recognizing that life takes energy, we appreciate their efforts to keep it flowing.

The economic and environmental challenges before us are great, but they are not insurmountable. Enbridge is in a strong position to navigate the headwinds and realize the opportunities presented to us. Put simply, the world will need all forms of energy to meet demand while reducing emissions. Our strategy to grow our businesses, increase access to global markets and invest in lower-carbon platforms takes the big picture into account—now and longer-term. At Enbridge, the future is clear—Tomorrow is on!

Sincerely,

Greg Ebel	Pamela Carter

Enhancing sustainability and ESG reporting

Enbridge is committed to transparency in our disclosure of sustainability and ESG performance. We seek to continually improve our sustainability and ESG reporting by listening to our shareholders and responding to their feedback. In 2023, this included expanding our methane reporting in our Sustainability Report and publishing a stand-alone Climate Lobbying Report. In 2024, we are building on our GHG emissions reporting by expanding the categories of Scope 3 emissions that we report on and enhancing the transparency of our Scope 3 reporting.

Delivery of meeting materials

As permitted by Canadian securities regulators, we are using notice-and-access to deliver the Circular and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) to both registered shareholders and beneficial owners.

This means that we will post the Circular and 2023 Annual Report online for our shareholders to access electronically. Notice-and-access is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to distribute the materials, as it reduces printing, paper and postage.

You will receive a package in the mail with a Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting and Notice of Availability of Meeting Materials (“Notice”). The Notice will outline the matters to be addressed at the Meeting and explain how to access the Circular and 2023 Annual Report online, how to request a paper copy, and how to return your proxy or voting instructions. You will also receive a virtual meeting user guide and a form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, so you can vote your shares.

We will also mail a paper copy of the Circular and/or 2023 Annual Report to beneficial owners who requested to receive one. All applicable meeting materials will be forwarded to beneficial shareholders at Enbridge’s expense.

Voting information

Please carefully read this section, as it contains important information regarding how to vote your Enbridge shares. Registered shareholders will receive a form of proxy and beneficial owners will receive a voting instruction form.

Who can attend the Meeting and vote?

The Board has fixed March 13, 2024 as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive the notice of Meeting and to vote at the Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof). Holders of common shares as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the record date are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preference shares, issuable in series. Each holder of common shares is entitled to one vote for each common share held. Preference shares do not have voting rights.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

Management of Enbridge is soliciting your proxy in connection with this Circular and the Meeting. The Company has retained Morrow Sodali to assist in communications with shareholders, solicit proxies, and provide related advice and support. In connection with these services, Morrow Sodali is expected to receive a fee from Enbridge not to exceed $75,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies may be solicited by mail, in person, by telephone or electronically. If you have any questions or require more information regarding the procedures for voting your shares, you can contact Morrow Sodali by telephone at 1-888-999-2717 toll free in North America (1-289-695-3075 by collect call) or by email at assistance@morrowsodali.com.

Enbridge employees may also contact you by any of these methods to encourage you to vote. Enbridge will bear the entire cost of this solicitation and our employees do not receive a commission or any other form of compensation for it.

Voting recommendations

The Board recommends that you vote:

• FOR the election of each of the 12 director nominees;

• FOR the appointment of the auditors and authorize the directors to fix their remuneration;

• FOR the non-binding advisory resolution to accept our approach to executive compensation (say on pay); and

• AGAINST the shareholder proposals set forth in Appendix A of this Circular.

Voting by Enbridge proxyholders and exercise of discretion

If you appoint Gregory L. Ebel, our President and Chief Executive Officer (“President & CEO”), and Pamela L. Carter, our Board Chair (the “Enbridge proxyholders”) to act and vote on your behalf at the Meeting, as provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form, but do not indicate

14 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    About the Meeting       

how you want to vote your common shares, the Enbridge proxyholders will vote as the Board of Directors recommends (as set out above under “Voting recommendations”).

The form of proxy or voting instruction form also confers discretionary authority on the person(s) named to vote on any amendment or variation to the matters identified in the notice of Meeting and on any other matter properly coming before the Meeting. As of the date of this Circular, management is not aware of any such amendment, variation or other matter. If, however, any such amendment, variation or other matter properly comes before the Meeting, proxies will be voted at the discretion of the person(s) named on the form of proxy or voting instruction form. If you appoint a proxyholder other than the Enbridge proxyholders, please make them aware and ensure they attend the Meeting for the vote to count.

What is the difference between a registered shareholder and a beneficial owner?

You are a registered shareholder if your common shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare” or “Transfer Agent”). You may hold your common shares in the form of a physical share certificate or through the direct registration system (“DRS”) on the records of the Transfer Agent in electronic form.

You are a non-registered shareholder (or beneficial owner) if your bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or other financial institution (your nominee) holds your common shares for you in a nominee account. This means you do not have a physical share certificate and do not hold through the DRS on the records of our Transfer Agent in electronic form. Instead, your common shares are recorded on the nominee’s electronic system.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice, form of proxy or voting instruction form?

If you receive more than one Notice, form of proxy or voting instruction form, it means that you hold shares in multiple accounts with the Transfer Agent, brokers or other nominees. The voting process is different for registered shareholders and beneficial owners. Please follow the instructions carefully and vote or provide voting instructions for all of the common shares you own.

How to vote

Enbridge shareholders may vote by proxy before the Meeting or vote at the Meeting, as described below.

1. Voting by proxy before the Meeting

You may vote before the Meeting by completing your form of proxy or voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions provided. Voting by proxy is the easiest way to vote. It means you are giving someone else (called your “proxyholder”) the authority to attend the Meeting and vote on your behalf. The vast majority of shareholders vote by proxy in advance of the Meeting. All shareholders are encouraged to vote by proxy before the Meeting.

Gregory L. Ebel, our President & CEO, and Pamela L. Carter, our Board Chair, have agreed to act as the Enbridge proxyholders. Proxyholders must vote your common shares according to your instructions, including on any ballot that may be called. If there are changes to the items of business or new items properly come before the Meeting, a proxyholder can vote as they see fit. You can appoint someone else to be your proxyholder. This person does not need to be a shareholder. See “Appointment of a third party as proxy” below.

Registered Shareholders: Registered shareholders will receive a Notice and form of proxy outlining the three ways for registered shareholders to vote by proxy before the Meeting:

	You may vote on the internet by logging on to the website indicated on the form of proxy (investorvote.com) and following the website prompts. You may also scan the QR code on your form of proxy.
	You may vote by calling the toll-free telephone number 1-866-732-8683. You will be prompted to provide your control number printed on the form of proxy. If you vote by telephone, you may not appoint a person as proxyholder other than the Enbridge proxyholders named in the form of proxy.
	You may vote by completing, signing and returning the form of proxy in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Proxies, whether submitted through the internet or by telephone or mail as described above, must be received by the Transfer Agent by 1:30 p.m. MDT on May 6, 2024. If the Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your instructions must be received not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the time the Meeting is reconvened. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the chair of the Meeting at their discretion without notice.

For any voting questions, contact Computershare at 1-866-276-9479 (toll free in North America) or 1-514-982-8696 (outside North America).

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 15

Beneficial owners: Beneficial owners will receive a Notice and voting instruction form indirectly through their broker or other intermediary. The Notice contains instructions on how to access the meeting materials and return your voting instructions. You should carefully follow all voting instructions provided by your broker or intermediary to ensure your shares are voted. Brokers or other intermediaries may set deadlines for voting that are further in advance of the Meeting than those set out in this Circular.

Without specific instructions, Canadian brokers and their agents or nominees are prohibited from voting common shares for the broker’s client. Without specific instructions, U.S. brokers and their agents or nominees are prohibited from voting common shares for the broker’s client with respect to “non-routine” matters, including the election of directors and the non-binding advisory vote on our approach to executive compensation, but may vote such common shares with respect to “routine” matters, including the appointment of an auditor. When a broker is unable to vote on a proposal because it is non-routine and the owner of the common shares does not provide voting instructions, a “broker non-vote” occurs. Broker non-votes have no effect on the vote on such a proposal because they are not considered present and entitled to vote.

For any voting questions, contact your broker, intermediary or nominee.

2. Voting at the Meeting

Registered Shareholders: Registered shareholders may vote at the Meeting by completing a ballot online during the Meeting.

Beneficial owners: If you are a beneficial owner and wish to vote at the Meeting, you must appoint yourself as proxyholder by inserting your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you (if permitted) and must follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your intermediary.

Beneficial owners who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote at the Meeting. This is because the Company and our Transfer Agent do not have a record of the non-registered shareholders of the Company, and, as a result, will have no knowledge of your shareholdings or entitlement to vote unless you appoint yourself as proxyholder.

Appointment of a third party as proxy

The following applies to shareholders who wish to appoint someone other than the Enbridge proxyholders as their proxyholder to attend and participate at the Meeting and vote their shares. This includes beneficial owners who wish

to appoint themselves as proxyholder. Failure to complete both Step 1 and Step 2 will result in the proxyholder not being able to ask questions and vote at the Meeting and being able to attend as a guest only.

Step 1

• Submit your form of proxy or voting instruction form: To appoint someone other than the Enbridge proxyholders as proxyholder, insert that person’s name in the space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form (if permitted) and follow the instructions for submitting the form of proxy or voting instruction form. This must be completed before moving to step 2 (registering your proxyholder).

• Beneficial owners: If you are a beneficial owner and wish to participate or vote at the Meeting, you must insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form and follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your intermediary. You must also register yourself as your proxyholder, as described in Step 2 below. By doing so, you are instructing your intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder.

• Beneficial owners located in the United States: In addition to the steps described above under “How do I attend and participate at the Meeting?”, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your intermediary. Follow the instructions from your intermediary included with the legal proxy form and the voting information form sent to you. If you did not receive a legal proxy form, contact your intermediary to request one. After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your intermediary, you must then submit such legal proxy to Computershare via e-mail or by courier to: uslegalproxy@computershare.com or Computershare, Attention: Proxy Dept., 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, ON M5J 2Y1, Canada. In either case, your request must be labeled “Legal Proxy” and received no later than the voting deadline of 1:30 p.m. MDT on May 6, 2024.

Step 2

• Register your proxyholder: To register a third party proxyholder, shareholders must visit computershare.com/EnbridgeAGM by 1:30 p.m. MDT on May 6, 2024 and provide Computershare with the required proxyholder contact information so that Computershare can provide the proxyholder with a Username via email. Without a Username, proxyholders will not be able to ask questions and vote at the Meeting and will only be able to attend as a guest.

    About the Meeting       

How can I change or revoke my vote?

Registered shareholders: You may change a vote you made by proxy by voting again, in advance of the deadline, using any of the available means described above under “Voting by proxy before the Meeting”. Your new instructions will revoke your earlier instructions.

If you have followed the process for attending and voting at the Meeting online, voting at the Meeting online will revoke your previous proxy.

If you are a registered shareholder and voted by proxy, you can also revoke your voting instructions by:

• sending us a notice in writing (from you or a person authorized to sign on your behalf). We must receive it by 5 p.m. MDT on May 7, 2024, or by 5 p.m. MDT on the business day before the Meeting is reconvened if it was postponed or adjourned. Send your notice to the Corporate Secretary, Enbridge Inc., 200, 425-1st Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3L8 by email at CorporateSecretary@enbridge.com; or

• any other manner permitted by law.

Beneficial owners: Contact your broker or nominee to find out how to change or revoke your voting instructions and the timing requirements for doing so. Intermediaries may set deadlines for the receipt of revocation notices that are further in advance of the Meeting than those set out above; accordingly, any revocation should be completed well in advance of the deadline outlined in the voting instruction form to ensure it is given effect at the Meeting.

What is the voting deadline?

If voting by proxy before the Meeting, your proxy must be received by 1:30 p.m. MDT on May 6, 2024, regardless of the voting method you choose. If the Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your instructions must be received not later than 48 hours (excluding, Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the time the Meeting is reconvened. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the chair of the Meeting at their discretion without notice.

The Company reminds shareholders that only the most recently dated voting instructions will be counted and any prior dated instructions will be disregarded.

Employee savings plan voting information

If you participate in the Enbridge Employees’ Savings Plan or the Enbridge Employee Services, Inc. Employees’ Savings Plan and have Enbridge shares under the applicable plan, you have the right to provide voting directions to the

applicable third-party administrator for those Enbridge shares. Enbridge shares held by plan participants will be voted in accordance with the instructions received from the plan participant. If you elect not to provide voting directions to the applicable third-party administrator, the Enbridge shares that you beneficially own under the applicable plan will not be voted.

Please note – plan participants will have an earlier voting deadline so that the voting instructions from plan participants can be processed in time to allow the applicable third-party administrator to vote before the proxy cut-off of 1:30 p.m. MDT on May 6, 2024. Please refer to your voting instruction form for details of the cut-off applicable to each plan.

How will votes be tabulated?

Proxies will be counted and tabulated by the Transfer Agent. Proxies will be submitted to management where they contain comments clearly intended for management or to meet legal requirements.

How do I contact the Transfer Agent?

Registered shareholders may contact Computershare, our Transfer Agent, at 1-866-276-9479 (toll free in North America) or 1-514-982-8696 (outside North America), with any voting questions.

Financial statements

Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the report of the auditors thereon will be placed before the shareholders at the Meeting.

ITEM 1: Election of directors

Shareholders elect directors to the Board for a term of one year, expiring at the end of the next annual meeting. Shareholders will be asked to elect 12 directors at the Meeting. 11 of our 12 current directors and one new Board candidate are nominated for election, or re-election, as applicable. Pursuant to our director tenure policy, as set out in our Governance Principles and Guidelines, Mr. Tutcher will retire at the end of the Meeting and will not stand for re-election, as he will have reached the age of 75.

All of the directors standing for election are independent except for Gregory L. Ebel, our President & CEO. There is no familial relationship between any of the current or nominated directors or our executive officers.

You may vote for all 12 of the director nominees, vote for some and against others, or vote against all of them. Unless you instruct otherwise, the Enbridge proxyholders will vote “for” each of the director nominees.

As at the date of this Circular, the Company has received no notice of any other proposed director nominees. Any such nominations would need to be made in accordance with our Advance Notice By-Law as described on page 39 of this Circular.

Vote required for approval:

The director nominees receiving votes cast in their favour that represent a majority of the votes duly cast for and against them at the Meeting will be elected to the Board.

            The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the election of each nominee set forth below, to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their respective successors have been elected.          

Majority voting for directors

In accordance with and subject to the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”), directors stand for election each year at the annual meeting of shareholders, and a separate vote of shareholders is taken with respect to each candidate nominated for director. If there is only one candidate nominated for each position available on the Board (an uncontested election), each candidate is elected only if the number of votes cast in their favour represents a majority of the votes cast for and against them by the shareholders who are present in person or represented by proxy. If an incumbent director is not re-elected in an uncontested election, they cannot serve as a Director beyond the earlier of the 90^th day after the day of the election and the day on which their successor is appointed or elected. Majority voting will not apply in the case of a contested election of directors, in which case the directors will be elected by a plurality of votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and voted on the election of directors.

Nominees for election to the Board

Director nominee profiles

The profiles that follow provide information about the director nominees, including their backgrounds, experience, current directorships, Enbridge shares and deferred share units held and the Board committees they sit on.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 33

Board diversity and tenure

Six of Enbridge’s 12 director nominees, or 50%, are women, one of whom is our Board Chair, and two of whom serve as Board committee chairs. Six of Enbridge’s 12 director nominees, or 50%, self-identify as members of underrepresented ethnic and racial groups. The average tenure for our current directors is approximately 4.75 years. Director nominees were asked if they self-identified as an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability, a member of a visible minority, or 2SLGBTQ+; 58% of all director nominees self-identify as a member of one of those groups.

Compensation committee interlocks and insider participation

During 2023, no two director nominees were members of the same board of directors of another public or private company.

ITEM 2: Appointment of our auditor

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) were last appointed as our auditors at our annual meeting of shareholders, held on May 3, 2023. If PwC are reappointed, they will serve as our auditors until the end of the next annual meeting of shareholders. PwC (formerly Price Waterhouse) have been our auditors since 1992 and have been the auditors for Enbridge Pipelines Inc., our subsidiary, since 1949.

Representatives from PwC are expected to be present at the Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to questions.

The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee (“AFRC”), proposes that PwC be reappointed as auditors and recommends that you vote for the appointment of PwC as our auditors and authorize the directors to fix their remuneration. You may vote for the appointment of our auditors or withhold your vote.

PwC is a participating audit firm with the Canadian Public Accountability Board, as required under the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 52-108 – Auditor Oversight.

Auditor independence

Auditor independence is essential to the integrity of our financial statements and PwC has confirmed its status as independent within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities rules.

We are subject to Canadian securities regulations (NI 52-110 and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines), the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the accounting and corporate governance rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Sarbanes-Oxley, which specify certain services that external auditors cannot provide.

While we comply with these Canadian and U.S. rules, we believe that some non-audit services, like tax compliance, can be delivered more efficiently and economically by our external auditors. To maintain auditor independence, the AFRC must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services. It is also responsible for overseeing the audit work performed by PwC.

The AFRC conducts a review of the Company’s audit firm on an annual basis and makes a recommendation to the Board. In 2023, in order to formulate its recommendation to the Board, the AFRC carefully reviewed:

• the annual audit plan,

• the scope of work to be provided,

• the reasonableness of proposed fees, and

• the qualifications, independence, expertise and performance of the external auditor.

This review includes formal written statements that describe any relationships between the auditors, their affiliates and Enbridge that could affect the auditors’ independence and objectivity. For more information see the Report of the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee on page 56.

The AFRC also ensures that the lead audit partner is replaced after five consecutive years, in accordance with applicable professional and regulatory requirements. The Company’s lead audit partner was replaced following the year ended December 31, 2023.

Pre-approval policies and procedures

The AFRC has adopted a policy that requires pre-approval by the AFRC of any services to be provided by the Company’s external auditors, whether those services are audit or non-audit-related. The policy prohibits the Company from engaging the auditors to provide the following non-audit services:

• bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records and financial statements;

• financial information systems design and implementation;

• appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution in kind reports;

34 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    About the Meeting       

• actuarial services;

• internal audit outsourcing services;

• management functions or human resources;

• broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services;

• legal services; and

• expert services unrelated to the audit.

The AFRC has also adopted a policy which prohibits the Company from hiring (as a full time employee, contractor or otherwise) into a financial reporting oversight role any current or former employee or partner of its external auditor who provided audit, review or attestation services in respect of the Company’s financial statements (including financial

statements of its reporting issuer subsidiaries and significant investees) during the 12 month period preceding the date of the initiation of the current annual audit.

The policy further prohibits the hiring of a former partner of the Company’s external auditor who receives pension benefits from the firm, unless such pension benefits are of a fixed amount, not dependent upon firm earnings and fully funded. In all cases, the hiring of any partner or employee or former partner or employee of the independent auditor is subject to joint approval by the lead engagement partner and the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. You can find information about the roles and responsibilities of the AFRC beginning on page 56 of this Circular.

External auditor services – fees

The following table sets forth all services rendered by the Company’s auditors, PwC, by category, together with the corresponding fees billed by the auditors for each category of service for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

	2023 (C$)	2022 (C$)	Description of fee category
Audit fees	15,860,000	16,018,000	Represents the aggregate fees for audit services.
Audit-related fees	1,283,000	476,000	Represents the aggregate fees for assurance and related services by the Company’s auditors that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and are not included under “Audit fees”. During fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the services provided in this category include due diligence related to prospectus offerings.
Tax fees	1,850,000	1,555,000	Represents the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by the Company’s auditors for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
All other fees	315,000	347,000	Represents the aggregate fees for products and services provided by the Company’s auditors other than those services reported under “Audit fees”, “Audit-related fees” and “Tax fees”. During fiscal years 2023 and 2022, these fees include those related to French translation work.
Total fees	19,308,000	18,396,000

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 35

Vote required for approval:

The appointment of PwC as Enbridge’s auditors and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration requires an affirmative vote of the majority of the votes duly cast at the Meeting.

  
  The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditors of the Company to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders and authorize the directors to fix their remuneration.        

ITEM 3: Advisory vote on executive compensation

We are providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the non-binding advisory resolution to accept our approach to executive compensation as disclosed in this Circular, commonly known as “say on pay”. As this is an advisory vote, the results will not be binding on the Board. However, when considering the Company’s approach to compensation for our named executive officers (“NEOs”), the Board will consider the results of this vote, together with other shareholder feedback and best practices in compensation and governance.

We ask that, as you consider your vote, you review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Circular, beginning on page 70. The Board believes that the executive compensation program that has been implemented achieves the goal of maximizing long-term shareholder value while attracting, motivating and retaining top talent. The Company recognizes that the proper structure of executive compensation is critical to both managing risk and appropriately incentivizing the Company’s NEOs. The Company believes that its approach to executive compensation is fair and balanced and helps ensure that NEOs are well-aligned with shareholders’ interests over the long term.

We have held advisory votes on our approach to executive compensation at each annual meeting of shareholders since 2011. Voting results in the most recent three years are set out in the table below.

Say on Pay	2023	2022	2021
Votes “for”	90.75%	90.41%	92.51%

You will be asked to vote for or against, or you may abstain from voting on, our approach to executive compensation through the following resolution:

BE IT 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 Enbridge Inc.’s Management Information Circular dated March 5, 2024 delivered in advance of the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders.

The Board will take the results of this vote into account when it considers future compensation policies and issues. We will also examine the level of shareholder interest and the comments we receive and consider the best approach and timing for soliciting feedback from shareholders on our approach to executive compensation in the future.

Vote required for approval:

In order to be passed, the advisory “say on pay” resolution requires an affirmative vote of the majority of the votes duly cast at the Meeting.

  
  The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the advisory vote to accept our approach to executive compensation as disclosed in this Circular.        

ITEM 4: Shareholder proposals

You will be voting on two shareholder proposals that have been submitted for consideration at the Meeting. The full text of the proposals and supporting statements, together with the Board of Directors’ recommendations, are set out in Appendix A of this Circular.

  
  The Board recommends that shareholders vote “AGAINST” both shareholder proposal resolutions.        

Proposals for the 2025 meeting

Enbridge is subject to the provisions of the CBCA with respect to shareholder proposals. As provided in the CBCA, simply submitting a shareholder proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the management information circular.

Shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to applicable provisions of the CBCA that a shareholder intends to present at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025 (the “2025 meeting”) and wishes to be considered for inclusion in Enbridge’s management information circular for the 2025 meeting must be received within the prescribed period, as outlined in the CBCA and associated regulations, and no later than 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on February 8, 2025. Such proposals must also comply with all applicable provisions of the CBCA and the regulations thereunder. The 2025 meeting is expected to be held in May 2025.

Corporate Governance

Our governance practices

Advance Notice By-Law

Enbridge’s By-Law No. 2 sets out advance notice requirements for director nominations (the “Advance Notice By-Law”).

The Advance Notice By-Law was adopted by the Board on December 2, 2014 and confirmed by shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on May 6, 2015. The purpose of the Advance Notice By-Law is to provide shareholders, directors and management of Enbridge with guidance on the nomination of directors. The Advance Notice By-Law is the framework by which the Company seeks to fix a deadline by which shareholders of the Company must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form. Pursuant to the Advance Notice By-Law, if a shareholder intends to nominate a person for election as a director of Enbridge at the Meeting, other than pursuant to a shareholder proposal, such nominations must comply with the procedures set out in the Advance Notice By-Law, including providing timely notice in proper written form.

To be timely, the nominating shareholder’s notice must be given:

• in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting (no later than 5:00 p.m. MDT on April 8, 2024, in the case of the Meeting); provided, that if the meeting is to be held less than 50 days after the date (the “Notice Date”) on which the first public announcement of the date of the meeting

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 39

was made, notice shall be not later than the close of business on the 10^th day following the Notice Date; and

• in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not also called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the 15^th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the meeting was made.

To be in proper written form, a nominating shareholder’s notice must set forth or be accompanied by, as applicable, the information specified in the Advance Notice By-Law regarding both the nominating shareholder and the person whom the nominating shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (a “proposed nominee”), as well as the written consent duly signed by the proposed nominee to being named as a nominee for election to the Board and to serve as a director of the Company, if elected. Such notice must be promptly updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting.

Delivery of the notice pursuant to the Advance Notice By-Law may only be given by personal delivery or electronic mail, and shall be deemed to have been given and made only at the time it is served by personal delivery or sent by electronic mail to the Corporate Secretary at: Corporate Secretary, 200, 425-1st Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3L8 or, in the case of electronic mail, to CorporateSecretary@enbridge.com; provided if such delivery or electronic mail is made on a day which is not a business day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on a day which is a business day, then such delivery or electronic communication shall be deemed to have been made on the subsequent day that is a business day.

The chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Advance Notice By-Law and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance therewith, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded. The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in the Advance Notice By-Law. A copy of Enbridge’s Advance Notice By-Law is available on our website (enbridge.com).

A culture of ethical conduct

A strong culture of ethical conduct is central to Enbridge. Our Statement on Business Conduct (“SOBC”) is our formal statement of the expectations that apply to all individuals at Enbridge and our subsidiaries, including our directors,

officers, employees, and contingent workers, as well as

consultants and contractors retained by Enbridge.

The SOBC outlines our expectations in various areas, including:

• complying with the law, applicable rules and policies;

• avoiding conflicts of interest, including examples of acceptable forms of gifts and entertainment;

• avoiding financial crimes such as anti-corruption, sanctions, money laundering and human rights violations;

• acquiring, using and maintaining assets (including computers and communication devices) appropriately;

• data privacy, records management, and proprietary, confidential and insider information;

• protecting health, safety and the environment;

• interacting with landowners, customers, shareholders, employees and others; and

• respectful workplace/no harassment.

The current version of the SOBC is available on our website. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding amendments to, and waivers from, the provisions of the SOBC by posting such information on our website (enbridge.com).

On the commencement of employment with Enbridge and annually thereafter, all active Enbridge employees and contingent workers are required to complete mandatory SOBC training, certify compliance with the SOBC and declare any real or potential conflicts of interest. Directors must also certify their compliance with the SOBC on an annual basis.

As of the date of this Circular, approximately 99.9% of Enbridge employees and contingent workers have certified compliance with the SOBC for the year ended December 31, 2023. All directors serving on the Board as of December 31, 2023 have certified their compliance with the SOBC for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We have continued to develop and maintain compliance programs in various risk areas, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption, competition/anti-trust, electricity marketing, third party risk management, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission code of conduct and human rights violations.

Through the annual online SOBC training program, Enbridge communicates its expectation that everyone working for Enbridge has a duty to report ethical misconduct, suspected illegal activity and/or compliance issues (including suspected breaches of the SOBC) on a timely basis.

40 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Corporate Governance       

Handling conflicts of interest and related person transactions

If a director or officer has a material interest in a transaction or agreement involving Enbridge, or otherwise identifies a potential personal conflict, they must declare the conflict or potential conflict. A director who has a material interest, conflict or potential conflict must abstain from voting on the matter at any Board meeting where it is being discussed or considered. This approach is consistent with the requirements of the CBCA.

In making director independence determinations, the Board reviews related person transactions, assisted by the completion of annual questionnaires by directors and officers of the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, a “related person transaction” is a transaction in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds US$120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, and a “related person” means (i) a director, nominee director or executive officer of the Company; (ii) an immediate family member of a director, nominee director or executive officer, or (iii) a beneficial holder of greater than five per cent of the Company’s shares or an immediate family member of such holder. In 2023, there were no related person transactions that required approval or disclosure.

Further, as noted in the section above, the SOBC requires that all officers and directors avoid conflicts of interest and disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest. Any actual or potential conflicts of interest disclosed are reviewed by the Company’s Ethics and Compliance Department to ensure appropriate follow-up and reporting. Any waiver from any part of the SOBC requires the approval of the CEO. For executive officers, senior financial officers and members of the Board, a waiver requires the express approval of the Board. In 2023, neither the CEO nor the Board provided approval of any waivers respecting the SOBC.

Insider trading prohibited

Our Insider Trading and Reporting Guidelines place restrictions on those in a special relationship with Enbridge (including insiders) when they purchase or sell Enbridge shares or other securities. These guidelines, which fulfill our obligations to stock exchanges, regulators and investors, include the following measures:

• imposing quarterly and annual trading blackout periods on all directors and officers of Enbridge and certain employees, contractors and other persons in a special relationship with Enbridge when financial results are being prepared and have not yet been publicly disclosed

(these periods currently begin on the first day following the end of each fiscal quarter or year end and end at the close of trading on the first trading day after we issue a news release disclosing our financial results for that fiscal quarter or year end or a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable, is filed with the SEC);

• in the case of directors and executive officers, requiring pre-clearance of all proposed purchases or sales of Enbridge securities with the Corporate Secretary’s office;

• prohibiting all directors, officers, employees, contractors and other persons in a special relationship with Enbridge and its subsidiaries from purchasing or selling securities of Enbridge or its subsidiaries with knowledge of undisclosed material information, from disclosing material information to any persons before such information has been generally disclosed to the public (unless in the necessary course of business) and from making recommendations or expressing opinions on the basis of undisclosed material information as to the purchase or sale of securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries; and

• prohibiting all directors, officers, employees and contractors of Enbridge and its subsidiaries from engaging in hedging transactions, short sales and other derivative transactions involving the securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries.

Whistle Blower Policy and reporting procedures

Our Whistle Blower Policy and reporting procedures help uphold our strong values and preserve our culture of ethical business conduct. We introduced the Whistle Blower procedures several years ago to protect the integrity of our accounting, auditing and financial processes, and update the procedures periodically, as required.

Complaints about financial or accounting irregularities, unethical conduct or any other compliance issues (including alleged violations of the SOBC) can be made anonymously using the Ethics Helpline. The Ethics Helpline allows for the submission of confidential and anonymous reports through a toll-free telephone number, mobile texting and web-based reporting system. The Ethics Helpline is administered by an independent third-party service provider. Copies of all reports received through the Ethics Helpline warranting investigation are provided to the Chair of the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee.

At least once each quarter (or sooner based on urgency), the Chief Compliance Officer reports all significant matters to the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee on matters within its mandate. Quarterly reports to the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee also include information about any other

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 41

significant compliance issues that have been brought to the attention of Enbridge’s Ethics & Compliance Department through quarterly compliance surveys. The Audit, Finance and Risk Committee then determines how to handle any issues or complaints brought to its attention. The committees can hire independent advisors (e.g., external legal counsel, independent auditors and others) to help investigate and resolve a matter.

The role of the Board

The Board is ultimately responsible for governance at Enbridge and for stewardship of the Company. It has full power to oversee the management of our business and carries out many of its responsibilities through its five standing Board committees:

• Audit, Finance and Risk Committee;

• Sustainability Committee;

• Governance Committee;

• Human Resources and Compensation Committee; and

• Safety and Reliability Committee.

Principal responsibilities

As part of its stewardship responsibility, the Board has the following responsibilities:

• appoints, evaluates the performance of, and approves the compensation of the President & CEO, approves the appointment of executive officers and ratifies the appointment of other officers;

• ensures processes are in place for succession planning, including appointment, training and monitoring of senior management (for more information, see “Succession planning” on page 42);

• adopts a strategic planning process, reviews and approves our strategic plan, and monitors and guides our progress (for more information, see “Strategic planning” on page 43);

• ensures processes are in place for identifying and having an understanding of the principal risks of our business and ensures appropriate systems are implemented to monitor, manage and mitigate those risks (for more information, see “Oversight of risk” on page 44);

• ensures processes are in place to monitor and maintain the integrity of our internal controls and management information systems;

• ensures the President & CEO and executive management create a culture of Safety, Integrity, Respect, Inclusion and High Performance throughout the Company;

• develops the Company’s approach to corporate governance, including our Governance Guidelines; and

• oversees shareholder communications, public disclosure and corporate communications.

The Board is responsible for oversight of key areas referred to above and for overseeing corporate financial operation, including changes to capital structure, annual budgets and financing plans, dividend policy, new financings, financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) and the Company’s delegation of authority policies. In addition, the Board reviews and approves initiatives, investments and transactions that could materially affect the Company. The Board also approves and monitors compliance with significant policies and procedures by which the Company is governed and operated.

The Board’s responsibilities are described in the terms of reference for the Board, which are attached at Appendix B to this Circular. These terms of reference were drafted by management under the guidance of the Governance Committee and approved by the Board, which reviews them annually and updates them as needed.

The Board delegates day-to-day management duties to the President & CEO and senior management, although certain activities (such as major capital expenditures, debt and equity financing arrangements and significant acquisitions and divestitures) require Board approval.

The Board develops position descriptions for each committee chair. These descriptions are part of each committee’s terms of reference and are reviewed annually. The Governance Committee defines the division of duties between the Board and the President & CEO.

The terms of reference for the Board, for each of the Board committees, and for the Chair of the Board, are available on our website (enbridge.com).

Succession planning

The Board is responsible for:

• appointing the President & CEO, approving the appointment of executive officers and ratifying the appointment of other officers; and

• annually reviewing the succession strategy for the President & CEO, and succession plans for senior management positions.

The Board delegates responsibility for reviewing our policies and procedures relating to employment, succession planning and compensation (including executive compensation) to the Human Resources and Compensation Committee.

42 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Corporate Governance       

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee is also responsible for:

• in conjunction with the Chair of the Board and with input from Board members, identifying a CEO succession plan to be recommended to the Board for approval;

• ensuring there are appropriate programs in place for succession planning, management development and employee retention;

• monitoring the performance of senior management;

• overseeing human capital and human resources programs;

• overseeing the design of our compensation programs;

• overseeing our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Strategy, including monitoring our progress thereon; and

• reporting to the Board on organizational structure and succession planning matters.

Enbridge has a comprehensive senior executive and CEO succession planning process. The CEO prepares an overview of the executive vice-president roles, noting the required skills and expertise for each position and the areas of strength of current executives. The CEO also reviews annual objectives, including development plans, for each executive and presents them to the Board.

The CEO identifies potential future candidates for executive vice-president positions and presents them to the Board for discussion. Each candidate is assessed based on their skills and experience and the competencies that are required for promotion to the senior executive level. Development opportunities are also identified so each candidate can receive additional or varied management experience, training, development and educational opportunities. The Board reviews each position and the performance assessment and competencies of potential successors at least annually and makes decisions as appropriate.

Strategic planning

The Board oversees the Company’s strategic planning process and is responsible for reviewing and approving the strategic plan. As an industry leader, we maintain a robust approach to strategic planning. The Board’s oversight role involves assessing opportunities and risks in our current strategy as well as in potential new strategies. We regularly

conduct scenario and resiliency analysis on our business strategy and our assets, and the Board engages regularly with management in order to maintain active oversight and strategic alignment.

The Board takes a multi-layered approach to strategic planning, holding at least one meeting per year dedicated to strategic planning, together with strategy update sessions at every regular Board meeting throughout the year. This enables the Board to oversee the implementation of the strategic plan, monitor the Company’s progress against it, consider any adjustments required, and assess any transactions it believes could have a significant impact on the plan.

More information about our strategic priorities can be found in the Executive Summary and in our 2023 Annual Report which is available on our website (enbridge.com).

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 43

Oversight of risk

Risk oversight and management is a key role for the Board and its committees. The Board is responsible for identifying and understanding the Company’s principal risks and ensuring that appropriate systems are implemented to monitor, manage and mitigate those risks. Board committees have oversight over risks within their respective mandates.

Each year, management prepares and provides to the Board and its committees a corporate risk assessment (“CRA”), which analyzes and prioritizes enterprise-wide risks, highlighting top risks and trends. The annual CRA is an integrated enterprise-wide process which requires each part of our business to assess and rank risks based on impact and probability. We strive to ensure that mitigation measures are appropriately designed, prioritized and resourced. Our proactive risk management approach informs our multi-year operations, integrity and maintenance plans, as well as our corporate strategy. It also helps ensure that emerging risks are identified early on so that we are prepared to manage them as they materialize.

To better identify, manage and mitigate risk, each Board committee reviews the risk categories in the CRA report

that are relevant to their mandate. Board committees may authorize the implementation of systems to address risks within the scope of their responsibility and monitor them for effectiveness. Each committee reports to the Board, which coordinates the Company’s overall risk management approach. For further information on each Board committee’s role in risk management, please refer to the table below as well as “Board committees”, beginning on page 55.

Complementary to the CRA, management prepares and provides to the Safety and Reliability Committee an annual top operational risk report, which highlights the highest consequence operational risks across Enbridge and includes further detail on the risks and their treatment. This information helps inform the Board about the potential impact of and treatments for the risks identified.

Management provides reports to the Board at each regular meeting to review and help manage top risks and identify trends.

Our 2023 Annual Report contains more information about the risks applicable to Enbridge, and is available on our website (enbridge.com) and on sedarplus.ca and sec.gov.

Oversight of sustainability and ESG

Oversight of sustainability and ESG matters, including climate, is integrated into the responsibilities of the Board and all five of our Board committees. Each Committee’s expertise is relevant for specific sustainability-related topics.

• The Sustainability Committee oversees our climate and energy transition strategy (including GHG emissions goals

and targets), stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, sustainability and ESG reporting, and progress against our ESG goals generally.

• The Human Resources and Compensation Committee oversees workforce engagement, diversity, equity and inclusion, and the alignment of ESG goals to compensation.

44 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Corporate Governance       

• The Governance Committee oversees Board composition and diversity, shareholder engagement (including responding to shareholder proposals), and corporate governance.

• The Audit, Finance and Risk Committee oversees our annual corporate risk assessment, risk management processes, and financial disclosures.

• The Safety and Reliability Committee oversees safety and operational risks (including cybersecurity and climate-related risks), environment, health and safety.

Handling these matters at our various Board committees effectively integrates sustainability and ESG matters into the work of the Board. The full Board is directly engaged in driving our sustainability practices and performance and how we are positioning to support the energy transition – including as part of our annual strategic planning process. Throughout the year, the Board and committees receive updates and provide feedback on our progress towards our goals and execution of our strategy. This critical feedback facilitates continuous refinements and improvements to our approach.

The Company’s Board succession planning process is designed to keep our Board composition diverse, effective and skilled. We assess overall Board composition regularly to maintain this balance and strive to ensure our Board members are well-equipped to understand and oversee sustainability matters, including climate change and the energy transition. Refer to “Mix of skills and experience” on page 33 and “Succession planning on page 42 for more information.

For more information on our sustainability-related risks, including climate, as well as governance for overseeing and assessing those risks, see the 2023 Annual Report and our 2023 ESG Datasheet, available on our website (enbridge.com).

Oversight of cybersecurity and information security

Oversight of cybersecurity is integrated into the responsibilities of the Board and appropriate committees. The Audit, Finance and Risk Committee provides oversight of cybersecurity matters, particularly as they relate to financial risk and controls, integrity of financial data and public disclosures, and security of the cyber landscape across data and digital. The Safety and Reliability Committee has oversight responsibility for security (physical, data and cyber) including as it relates to operational risk and controls, safety, operations integrity and reliability, and asset operations. Management provides quarterly reports to the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee and the Safety and Reliability Committee on cybersecurity matters.

Cybersecurity has been identified as a top risk, as attacks against participants in our industry have continued to increase in sophistication and frequency over the years. Management is responsible for the implementation of risk management strategies and monitoring performance. The technology and information services (“TIS”) function, which includes information technology, operational technology, data & digital, is centralized under Enbridge’s Senior Vice President & Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), who has over two decades of international leadership experience in the business of technology. We also engage independent third parties to assess our cybersecurity program, track their recommendations and use those to further improve our programs. Reporting to the CIO is the Chief Information Security Officer who is in charge of our cybersecurity program and oversees the 24x7x365 Security Operations Center.

Enbridge has an overarching Cybersecurity Policy as well as supporting standards and procedures that describe how security of systems are managed in adherence with regulatory requirements. Enbridge employs a robust governance framework aligned to leading industry standards including National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) guidance and Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) Pipeline Security Guidelines. To help ensure continued effectiveness, Enbridge tests systems frequently, including independent third-party penetration/vulnerability assessments, independent audits of cybersecurity controls, and regular testing of cybersecurity incident response and recovery processes.

We conduct continuous assessments of our cybersecurity standards, perform regular tests of our ability to respond and recover, and monitor for potential threats. To further mitigate threats, we collaborate with governments and regulatory agencies, and take part in external events to learn and share.

Enbridge maintains a robust cybersecurity training and awareness program. Cybersecurity awareness is integrated with corporate policy training and must be completed upon hire and annually thereafter. Our workforce participates in regular security awareness training, including exercises to build capabilities to identify and report suspect phishing emails to our Security Operations Centre. Acceptable usage and targeted training is conducted at least annually, and phishing testing is conducted at least quarterly. In 2023, we continued to expand the cybersecurity training and simulated testing we administer to high-risk groups within the organization. A tailored cybersecurity training course has been implemented for team members in operational technology roles, and we have increased the frequency of phishing simulation tests.

Our cybersecurity team also uses several layers of defense and protection technologies, cybersecurity experts, and

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 45

automated alerting and response mechanisms to reduce risk to the Company.

Mr. Ebel, Ms. Carter and Ms. Madden have earned the CERT Certificate in Cybersecurity Oversight. This certificate, developed by NACD, Ridge Global, and Carnegie Mellon University’s CERT division, demonstrates commitment to advanced cybersecurity literacy.

Internal controls

The Board seeks assurance at least annually that our internal control systems and management information systems are operating effectively. The Board has delegated responsibility for reviewing our quarterly and annual financial statements to the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee, which reviews and approves our quarterly financial statements and recommends our annual financial statements to the Board for approval. The Audit, Finance and Risk Committee is also responsible for overseeing our internal audit function and receives regular reports from management regarding the effectiveness of internal controls.

Corporate communications

The Board reviews and approves all major corporate communications policies, including our corporate disclosure guidelines. It also reviews and approves principal continuous disclosure documents, including our annual report, MD&A and management information circular. The Board is responsible for ensuring the Company has a communications program in place to effectively communicate with and receive feedback from shareholders and other stakeholders and to ensure public disclosure and corporate communications are made in compliance with applicable securities legislation.

Identifying new Board candidates

The Governance Committee serves as the Board’s nominating committee and, working with the Chair of the Board, has accountability for the oversight of the Board and committee succession planning process and for making recommendations to the Board for the appointment of new Board and committee members.

The Governance Guidelines provide that the Board should possess, as a group, the competencies, skills and characteristics necessary to develop and oversee the implementation of the strategic vision of the Company and such other qualities as the Board shall identify from time to time. These characteristics and qualities include knowledge, experience, high ethical standards, integrity, independent judgment, understanding of the Company’s business and willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties.

The Chair of the Board, the President & CEO and the Chair of the Governance Committee, with the support of the Executive Vice President, External Affairs & Chief Legal Officer, the Corporate Secretary, and external advisors, monitor the composition of the Board and committees on an ongoing basis and make recommendations to the Governance Committee in fulfilment of its mandate. The Governance Committee reviews Board diversity at least annually, including measuring and monitoring progress toward our Board diversity objectives.

The Corporate Secretary maintains a Board composition plan which includes information pertaining to the current directors and an inventory of potential Board candidates. The information pertaining to current directors includes business experience, occupation, residence, gender, age, tenure, retirement date, other board commitments, equity ownership, independence, diversity and other relevant information, as well as a skills matrix, updated annually or more frequently, as required. The President & CEO, the Executive Vice President, External Affairs & Chief Legal Officer and the Corporate Secretary meet regularly to consider and plan for upcoming director retirements, considering relevant factors including directors’ skills, age, tenure, residency, and diversity.

From time to time, executive search consultants are engaged to undertake external searches for potential director candidates, with the particulars of the executive search consultant’s mandate determined through dialogue between the Chair of the Board, the President & CEO and the Chair of the Governance Committee. When we use executive search consultants, they are directed to make it a priority to include diverse candidates.

The Chair of the Board, President & CEO and the Chair of the Governance Committee have primary responsibility for the assessment of director candidates for recommendation to the Governance Committee and the Board. The Governance Committee also considers all candidates recommended by the Company’s shareholders.

Independence

The majority of our directors must be independent, as defined by Canadian securities regulators in NI 52-110, NYSE rules and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Governance Guidelines, available on our website (enbridge.com), provide that the Board shall consist of a substantial majority of independent directors. The Board uses a detailed annual questionnaire to assist in determining if each director is independent and makes this determination annually or more frequently, as required.

46 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Corporate Governance       

The Board has determined that 11 of our 12 director nominees, including the Chair of the Board, are independent. Mr. Ebel is not independent because he is our President & CEO. Mr. Tutcher, who is retiring and not standing for re-election as director at the Meeting, is also independent. Each of the Board’s five standing committees is comprised entirely of independent directors.

The Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring the Board functions independently of management.

Independent Chair and separate CEO

Enbridge maintains a separation of Chair and CEO. Ms. Carter is the independent Chair of the Board and Mr. Ebel is the Company’s President & CEO.

Meetings of non-management directors

Our Governance Guidelines provide as follows:

• The Board meets regularly in-camera, without officers of the Company present.

• The non-management directors hold regularly scheduled meetings without management directors present and may invite management directors and members of management to attend as they may determine.

• In the event that the non-management directors include directors who are not independent under applicable stock exchange rules, the Corporation should, at least once per year, schedule an executive session including only independent directors.

To facilitate leadership and open and candid discussion among independent directors, the independent directors are also given the opportunity to hold in-camera meetings should the need arise.

In 2023, the directors met in-camera at every regularly-scheduled Board and committee meeting. The directors also met in-camera without the President & CEO (the only non-independent director) at every regularly-scheduled Board meeting.

External consultants and other third parties

To support the Board in functioning independently of management, Board committees have the flexibility to meet with external consultants and Enbridge employees without management whenever they see fit. The Board and Board

committees may also hire independent advisors, as needed, at Enbridge’s cost.

Serving as a director

Our directors are expected to act in the best interests of the Company and have a duty of care in both decision-making and oversight. The Governance Committee has developed guidelines that outline the expectations placed on directors. Key expectations include meeting attendance, financial literacy and ethical conduct.

Attendance

We expect directors to attend all Board and Board committee meetings of which they are a member. The Governance Committee annually reviews each director’s attendance record. If a director has a poor attendance record, the committee Chair and Chair of the Board will discuss and make a recommendation on how the matter will be handled. A director whose attendance record continues to be poor may be asked to leave the Board. See information on director attendance in the “Director nominee profiles” beginning on page 18 and under “Board and committee meeting attendance” on page 32.

Financial literacy

The Board considers an individual to be financially literate if they can read and understand financial statements that are generally comparable to our Company’s in breadth and complexity of issues. The Board has determined that all members of the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee are financially literate, in accordance with NI 52-110 and the rules of the NYSE. It has also determined that Ms. Madden and Mr. Few qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as defined by the Exchange Act. The Board bases this determination on each director’s education, skills and experience.

Director tenure

Our director tenure policy is set out in our Governance Guidelines and was last updated in November 2023. Under our Governance Guidelines, a director will retire at the next annual meeting of shareholders after they reach the age of 75. A director will not be eligible to serve as chair of any Board committee beyond the annual meeting of shareholders following the director’s 74th birthday.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 47

The following table outlines the latest date of retirement for each director nominee, if elected at the Meeting.

2039	Gregory L. Ebel
2040	Theresa B.Y. Jang
2041	Jason B. Few
2056	Manjit Minhas

Other directorships

Our directors may serve on the boards and committees of other public entities, as long as their outside positions and memberships do not impact their ability to exercise independent judgment while serving on our Board. All of our director nominees serve on three or fewer public company boards in total, including Enbridge. Directors who serve on our Audit, Finance and Risk Committee cannot sit on the audit committees of more than two other public entities unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such director to effectively serve on our Audit, Finance and Risk Committee. Refer to the “Director nominee profiles” beginning on page 18 for information on each director’s service on other public company boards.

Orientation and continuing education

The Board recognizes that proper orientation and continuing education are important for directors to fulfill their duties effectively. It has delegated these responsibilities to the Governance Committee, which has developed a comprehensive program for new directors.

Orientation

Every new director meets with the Chair of the Board, the President & CEO and executive and senior management to learn about our business and operations and participates in tours of our sites and facilities. New directors are encouraged to attend additional committee meetings of which they are not a member during their first set of Board meetings as part of their orientation.

New directors are provided with the Board manual electronically, which contains:

• our Governance Guidelines and the terms of reference for the Board and each of its committees, the Chair and the President & CEO;

• information about each of the directors and executive management team;

• a list of the Board and committee members and all meeting dates;

• organizational charts (corporate and management);

• our financial risk management policies and treasury authority limitations;

• information about statutory liabilities;

• information about the directors’ and officers’ liability programs;

• our insider trading and reporting guidelines;

• indemnification agreements;

• our Statement on Business Conduct; and

• key public disclosure documents for the Company.

Continuing education

Our continuing education program for directors focuses on providing information relating to our business, industry, competitive environment and principal risks and opportunities. We offer education sessions for directors on key topics and encourage them to participate in associations and organizations that can broaden their awareness and knowledge of developments related to our business.

Directors can also request presentations on a particular topic. Throughout their tenure, directors have discussions with the Chair of the Board, receive quarterly presentations from senior management on strategic issues and participate in tours of our operations. Quarterly briefings include reviews of the competitive environment, our performance relative to our peers and other developments that could materially affect our business. We also encourage directors to pursue director education seminars and courses offered externally and pay for continuing education opportunities through third parties, as appropriate.

The Company provides a variety of courses to support diversity, equity and inclusion and foster an inclusive workplace. We have offered a selection of online courses on diversity, equity and inclusion and Indigenous awareness to our directors, to be completed throughout the year. All directors standing for election at the Meeting have completed these courses.

In addition, a group of directors met in 2023 with certain of Enbridge’s Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”) to discuss roles of management and boards on matters ranging from career development and sponsorship to inclusion, equity and equality. For more information on our ERGs, see “Workforce diversity” on page 52.

Board effectiveness

The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is critical for Board effectiveness. The Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the performance of the Board and its Chair, the Board committees and individual directors on an ongoing basis.

Board and chair assessments and individual peer reviews

All directors complete a confidential questionnaire on an annual basis in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Board and Chair of the Board. The questionnaire is designed to provide constructive input regarding overall performance and includes questions on:

• Board composition;

• effectiveness of the Board, Board meetings, individual directors and Chair of the Board;

• strategic planning process;

• director education topics;

• duties and responsibilities; and

• management succession process, including CEO succession.

A summary of the questionnaire responses is provided to the Chair of the Governance Committee, who then presents the feedback to the Chair of the Board. The Chair of the Board then presents the summary to the Board. The Board discusses the results and develops recommendations during an in-camera roundtable discussion conducted by the Chair of the Board.

Directors are also asked to complete another confidential questionnaire to evaluate their peers. They are asked to consider criteria such as skills and experience, preparation,

communication and interaction with Board members and/or management and overall contribution to the functioning of the Board. A summary of the questionnaire responses is provided to the Chair of the Board who provides feedback to each director individually.

Board committee assessments

Each director also completes a confidential questionnaire for each Board committee of which they are a member. The questionnaire is designed to facilitate candid conversation among the members of each Board committee about the Board committee’s overall performance, function, areas of accomplishment and areas for improvement. This questionnaire helps the Board ensure that each Board committee is functioning effectively and efficiently and fulfilling its duties and responsibilities as described in its terms of reference. It includes questions about:

• the composition of the Board committee;

• the effectiveness of the Board committee, Board committee meetings and the committee chair; and

• optimization opportunities for the Board committee.

A summary of the questionnaire responses is provided to the Chair of the Governance Committee, who then presents the feedback to the Chair of the Board. A copy is also provided to each Board committee chair. Each committee discusses the results and develops recommendations during an in-camera session of the committee. Directors are

50 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Corporate Governance       

encouraged to comment broadly (positively and negatively) on any issue concerning the Board, Board committees and director performance. From time to time, the Chair of the Board meets informally with each director, to discuss performance of the Board, Board committees and other issues.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

A diverse workforce of talented individuals with different ideas, strengths, backgrounds, and points of view is a strategic advantage that contributes to our success and will continue to move us forward. Diversity, equity and inclusion drives innovation, better decisions, employee engagement and our ability to attract and retain top talent. We set diversity representation goals for our Board, senior management, and workforce, as discussed below.

Board and senior management diversity¹

In February 2015, the Board adopted a written “Diversity and Inclusion Policy” to outline our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion for our Board of Directors and executive leadership (“Board D&I Policy”). This policy emphasizes the importance of having variety in skills and experience and diversity considerations, including but not limited to, gender, age, and ethnicity/race. The Governance Committee annually reviews the Board D&I Policy and its objectives to assess effectiveness and makes recommendations to the Board annually.

In November 2020, the Company established representation goals for the Board of at least 40% women and 20% underrepresented ethnic and racial groups by 2025. At that time, the Board underscored its ongoing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion by expanding the Board D&I Policy to “senior management” (defined for these purposes as the President & CEO and all Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents who are also officers of Enbridge Inc.).

Our progress against our goals is outlined in the table below, with respect to each of the 12 director nominees and senior management.

Board and senior management representation goals (by 2025)	Representation as at March 5, 2024 (self-identified)
Women
•  Board: 40% •  Senior management: 40%	•  Board: 6 of 12 (50%) •  Senior management: 13 of 37 (35%)
Underrepresented ethnic and racial groups
•  Board: 20% •  Senior management: 28%	•  Board: 6 of 12 (50%) •  Senior management: 8 of 37 (22%)

The Board, its relevant committees, and senior management actively review whether candidates reflecting diversity have been considered and/or appointed to senior management positions and to the Board. In addition to the designated groups stipulated by the CBCA and our representation goals for women and underrepresented ethnic and racial groups, we consider additional diversity dimensions that are equally important and necessary across our organization, including but not limited to: diversity of thought, perspectives, and life experience which can include education, language, gender expression, sexual orientation, values, and beliefs, among others. In identifying candidates for senior management roles, professional experience, educational background, skills, knowledge, and diversity considerations are considered.

For further information on Board diversity, see the Executive Summary on page 3, “Board diversity and tenure” on page 34, and “Identifying new Board candidates” on page 46.

CBCA requirements

The CBCA requires diversity disclosure for directors and “members of senior management” for four “designated groups”: women, members of visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities.

For CBCA purposes, “members of senior management” is defined to include the Chair of our Board (who is an independent director and not a member of management) as well as our “executive officers” as defined in National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations. Our “executive officers” consist of nine officers: our President & CEO, six Executive Vice Presidents and two Senior Vice-Presidents. Our representation, as self-identified, for these four designated groups, as at March 5, 2024, is as follows:

• Six (50%) of our 12 director nominees are women. Four (40%) of our ten “members of senior management” are women.

• Six (50%) of our 12 director nominees self-identify as a member of a visible minority. Three (30%) of our ten “members of senior management” self-identify as a member of a visible minority.

• None of our directors or “members of senior management” self-identify as an Aboriginal person or a person with disabilities.

¹  Specific goals regarding diversity and inclusion are aspirational goals which we intend to achieve in a manner compliant with state, local, provincial and federal law, including, but not limited to, U.S. federal regulations, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Department of Labor and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 51

Workforce diversity¹

Representation matters. A representative workforce strengthens relationships and trust by ensuring we better understand the needs of our customers, partners, and communities where we operate. Enbridge has a multi-year, enterprise-wide Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Strategy (“IDEAS”) for 2021 through 2025, guided by three broad goals.

• We engage the workforce through internal inclusion networks, increase awareness and visibility through inclusive storytelling, and invest in learning to build knowledge of core concepts and inclusive leadership.

• We embed diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and principles into key strategies, including best practices in human resources programs, and ensure compliance with federal, provincial, and state legislation. We enable advocacy by investing in strategic external partnerships to increase equity for underserved communities through corporate citizenship and supplier diversity.

• We understand our workforce composition and labor market availability, embed representation goals and ensure recruiting practices and talent programs enable greater diversity.

IDEAS is supplemented by an ‘Equity Plan’ that outlines our pledge of equity for everyone. The Equity Plan highlights specific commitments to integrate equity into our structures, processes, and practices.

Since 2017, Enbridge has progressively built transparency and embedded representation goals for women, underrepresented ethnic and racial groups, people with

disabilities, and veterans. Representation goals were identified based on external labor availability and proportional demographic representation in the areas where we operate.

Workforce representation goals (by 2025)
Build an inclusive environment of talent that represents the communities in which we operate through achievement of workforce representation of:	•  40% women •  28% underrepresented ethnic and racial groups •  6% people with disabilities •  7% U.S. protected veterans

We track and report our progress on these goals via an internal company-wide ‘Diversity Dashboard’. The dashboard creates transparency, as all employees can access and filter data by job level, function, and geography to see hiring, promotion, and turnover rates for various identity categories including gender, race/ethnicity, disability status, veterans, and 2SLGBTQ+.

Enbridge is a signatory to pledges set forth by CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion in the U.S. and Canada, such as

BlackNorth Initiative, which reinforces our commitment to meaningful and enduring change. Enbridge is also a member of the 30% Club and a signatory to Equal by 30, which aims to improve gender representation and equality.

We are also committed to Indigenous reconciliation and believe our continued success relies on our ability to build and maintain relationships with Indigenous communities near where we do business. All Enbridge employees and contractors are required to complete Indigenous cultural awareness training.

Ongoing communications and conversations throughout the year celebrate and commemorate important diversity milestones and encourage people to come together to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We focus on enhancing the capability of our people through activities such as leadership programs, rigorous succession planning of critical roles, and facilitating career development and mobility throughout the enterprise. We embed inclusive practices throughout our compensation and retention programs, flexible work program, and other benefits to support our employees and their diverse needs, including an enhanced parental leave program launched in 2023 that

offers up to 20 weeks of paid leave for all employees across North America and up to an additional 32 weeks of unpaid leave for U.S. employees, during which time their benefits continue to the same extent available while the employee was working.

We proactively support leaders and coach them to review talent decisions to mitigate the risk of unconscious bias at critical decision points during an employee’s career, such as hiring, performance reviews, and succession planning.

We have nine employee resource groups, which are employee-led and Company- sponsored that:

• promote understanding and support for historically underrepresented groups;

• educate and create development opportunities for members and allies; and

• promote a diverse and inclusive work environment.

Our employee resource groups are:

• CARES — Caregivers + Allies

• Connect — Any Generation Employees + Allies

• DAN (Diverse Abilities Network) — People with Disabilities + Allies

• EDGE (Ethnically Diverse Group of Employees) — Ethnic/ Racially Diverse Employees + Allies

• FEMINEN — Female engineers and technologists+ Allies

• IERG (Indigenous Employees Resource Group) — Indigenous Employees + Allies

• Prism Energy — 2SLGBTQ+ + Allies

• VTRN — Active and former members of the armed forces + Allies

• Women@Enbridge — Women + Allies.

Our approach to our people (human capital management)

Our people are our most valuable asset and vital to our success. Effectively engaging, developing, retaining, rewarding and promoting the wellbeing of our employees is a priority for us – one that enables us to fulfill our purpose to safely deliver the energy that people need and want.

We want Enbridge to be the first-choice company for our employees, remaining competitive and sustaining the success of our company today, tomorrow and for the next 75 years. As a result, we’ve stood up our “Next 75” transformation program to take a look at the work we do, understand how we can improve, and better equip our teams for success. This includes evolving our corporate

culture, simplifying work processes, streamlining risk-based decision-making and improving ownership/empowerment further down in the organization. These shifts correlate directly with our growth and energy transition plans and are supported by the introduction of a fifth corporate value in 2023 – High Performance.

As always, we attract, develop and retain talented employees who form a team that is energized and proud of what we do. This includes fostering a diverse and inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, respected and connected. We champion diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace, recognizing its value in strengthening employee engagement, fostering innovation and creativity and enhancing our decision making and problem-solving capabilities. Refer to “Diversity, equity and inclusion” beginning on page 51 for more information on our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility Strategy and diversity goals.

New employee-centric benefits and programs have also been introduced including enhanced parental leave and an annual stock bonus program (below Manager) which provides additional rewards and incentives for shared company success.

Our ongoing commitment to safety and wellbeing remains important. Taking a proactive and holistic approach to supporting our employees’ well-being is integral to having a resilient workforce and enabling employees to achieve success at work, home and in their community. We focus on all elements of well-being: physical (including personal safety), mental, financial, and social. We provide employees mental health training and access to confidential counseling through the employee and family assistance program. In addition, we offer workplace flexibility through our FlexWork program, encourage regular check-ins to promote connection, and have recently added resources, including the expansion of certified practitioners and increased financial support available for employees to get the necessary aids that foster and grow positive mental health.

We continually invest in our people’s personal and professional development because we recognize that their success is our success. We want to maximize our employees’ career experience and drive continued high performance, by enhancing the capability of our people through multiple channels, including: providing access to leading productivity tools and technologies, an extensive catalog of self-directed learning (over ten thousand external courses plus proprietary Enbridge University courses), accelerated leadership development programs, rigorous succession planning of critical roles and facilitating internal career development opportunities via rotational assignments. This also includes enhanced opportunities for

growth and development in the flow of work, encouraging employees to build new skills needed for our core and emerging lines of business and the broader energy transition.

Sustainability and ESG

At Enbridge, we are inspired by our purpose to fuel people’s quality of life and united by our vision to provide energy in a planet-friendly way wherever people need it. This drives our mission to be the first-choice energy delivery company for our stakeholders—valued across North America and beyond. In fulfilling our mission, we play a critical role in enabling the economic and social well-being of people across the world by providing access to affordable, reliable, and secure energy.

Over decades, we have held ourselves to high standards of corporate social responsibility. We take seriously our responsibility to conduct our business in an ethical and socially responsible manner; to protect the environment and the safety of people; and to engage, learn from, respect and support the communities and cultures with which we work. Our values of Safety, Integrity, Respect, Inclusion and High Performance reflect what is truly important to us as a company. These values guide our actions and decisions and how we engage with our stakeholders.

Governance around sustainability and ESG performance continues to be top of mind as we advance our sustainability strategies and policies. Oversight of sustainability and ESG is fully integrated into the responsibilities of the Board and all five of our Board committees, including overseeing progress on our ESG goals. Additionally, we have aligned our executive compensation and sustainability-linked financings to ESG performance strategies advancing throughout the Company—these strategies position Enbridge to grow sustainably for many decades to come.

The ESG framework has proven a useful tool to track, manage and share progress against key elements of potential business risks and opportunities. We continue to focus on priorities in the areas of GHG emissions, diversity, equity and inclusion and safety, as well as increased reporting transparency and governance. Setting goals in areas core to our business and stakeholders is just one of the ways we are further integrating sustainability and ESG into strategy, operations and decision making. These goals are designed to build on our progress and broaden our efforts in a way that responds to the changing energy landscape and societal needs.

We strive to provide our stakeholders with open, transparent reporting and discussion on sustainability and ESG performance. Our annual Sustainability Report follows best practice in ESG reporting and provides more detailed

disclosure of our ESG performance. Our reporting is developed with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”) Universal Standards, including the Oil and Gas Sector Standard (GRI 11), which serve as a generally accepted framework for reporting on an organization’s economic, environmental and social performance. We voluntarily disclose to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) standards for Oil and Gas—Midstream and Gas Utilities and Distributors sectors. We also provide relevant updates on our response to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) recommendations in our annual ESG Datasheet.

In our 2022 Sustainability Report, we shared progress on our ESG goals, including our approach to methane emissions reduction and commitments outlined in our Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan, which reinforces our goal of becoming a leader in North American Indigenous reconciliation. The Sustainability Report detailed our progress against 22 measurable commitments that cover each of our four core businesses and support our journey toward reconciliation. These reports are available on our website (enbridge.com).

For further information on our approach to sustainability and ESG, please refer to the “Executive Summary” (2023 sustainability and ESG highlights) on page 9 and “Oversight of sustainability and ESG” on page 44.

Shareholder engagement

We believe active engagement with our shareholders and other stakeholders on an ongoing basis through a variety of avenues is key to transparency, facilitating open and informed dialogue and sharing our story. The graphic below illustrates our approach to shareholder engagement.

54 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Corporate Governance       

Our primary shareholder event is the annual Investment Community Conference, which provides management with an opportunity to update the investment community on the Company’s strategic priorities and outlook. This event, along with our annual meeting of shareholders and quarterly presentations, are webcast and accessible to a broad audience of investors. Presentations, audio recordings and transcripts are available on our website for a period of at least 12 months following events.

Members of our executive team, including our President & CEO, Chief Financial Officer and presidents of our business units, as well as representatives from Investor Relations and Sustainability departments also meet with shareholders throughout the year directly, and by way of investor roadshows in a variety of cities and countries. In addition, we also participate in several third-party investor conferences, hosted an asset tour in 2023 for institutional investors, and periodically conduct anonymous and confidential shareholder perception surveys to provide market perspective to management.

ESG-aligned business practices remain an important tenet of our value proposition. In 2023, we continued to focus our shareholder engagement activities on targeted outreach, allowing us to highlight our industry leading sustainability and ESG performance via sustained investment, transparency, and progression towards our ESG goals, detailed most recently in Enbridge’s 2022 Sustainability Report.

In 2023, we hosted our investor asset tour at the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center (“EIEC”) in Corpus Christi, Texas. EIEC is a North America’s largest crude oil storage and export terminal where Enbridge is developing integrated lower-carbon investments that will leverage existing conventional infrastructure.

Throughout 2023, we regularly met with institutional shareholders and investor groups. The key discussion topics were as follows:

• Shareholders recognize the strength of Enbridge’s core business in terms of its scale and diversification in critical infrastructure assets and its adjacent growth opportunities.

• Shareholders support the low-risk strategy, exposure to predictable and reliable contracted revenues, and limited commodity exposure.

• Shareholders support Enbridge’s commitment to its capital allocation priorities and consistent growth, which supports its long-term dividend growth and strong total shareholder return (“TSR”) of 10-12%.

• Shareholders appreciate the accessibility to management despite the very large scale of the business and appreciate the open communications and depth of expertise and experience within Enbridge and across the wider industry.

• Shareholders support the acquisition of three U.S. gas utilities, which are expected to deliver long-term, low risk growth and were acquired at a historically attractive valuation.

• Shareholders appreciate Enbridge’s approach to sustainability and how ESG is integrated into all aspects of the business.

A list of upcoming and past events and presentations, as well as investor documents and filings, can be found on our website (enbridge.com). Enbridge is committed to communicating with shareholders through our website, where current and potential investors are invited to contact the Investor Relations team online, by letter, phone (1-800-481-2804) or email (investor.relations@enbridge.com).

The Board also understands the importance of constructive communication and engagement with shareholders as part of its oversight of the Company.

Director compensation

Philosophy and approach

The Board is responsible for developing and implementing the Directors’ Compensation Plan and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for director compensation to the Governance Committee.

Our Directors’ Compensation Plan is designed with four key objectives in mind:

While our executive compensation program is designed around pay for performance, director compensation is based on annual retainers. This is to meet our compensation objectives and to help ensure our directors are unbiased when making decisions and carrying out their duties while serving on our Board.

The Governance Committee uses a peer group of companies to set the annual retainers for our Board and targets director compensation at or about the 50th percentile. See “Benchmarking to peers” beginning on page 79 for more information about our peer group and how we benchmark executive compensation.

The Governance Committee reviews the Directors’ Compensation Plan every year, with assistance from management. Each year, as part of this review, the Governance Committee considers the time commitment and experience required of our directors. The Governance Committee also reviews the Directors’ Compensation Plan to make sure the overall program is still appropriate and reports its findings to the Board.

Every second year a comprehensive review, including peer analysis and benchmarking to the peer group, is conducted by an external consultant. In 2024 the Governance Committee engaged Mercer (Canada) Limited to complete

a high-level review of directors’ compensation. Following this review, and in line with our director compensation philosophy of targeting director compensation at or about the 50th percentile in our peer group, no changes were recommended to directions’ compensation for 2024.

All non-employee director compensation in 2023 was paid under the Directors’ Compensation Plan. We do not compensate non-employee directors under our 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan for employees. All retainers are payable in U.S. dollars regardless of director residency.

Director share ownership requirements

We expect directors to own Enbridge shares so that they have an ongoing stake in the Company and are aligned with the interests of shareholders. Within five years of becoming a director, each director is required to hold at least US$900,000 in Enbridge shares and/or DSUs, being three times the annual Board retainer of US$300,000. See “Change in director equity ownership” on page 67 for more information.

If a decrease in the market value of Enbridge shares results in a director no longer meeting the share ownership requirements, we expect the director to purchase additional Enbridge shares in order to satisfy the minimum threshold.

DSUs are paid out when a director retires from the Board. They are settled in cash, based on the weighted average of the trading price of common shares on the TSX for the last five trading days before the date that is three trading days before the payment date, multiplied by the number of DSUs the director holds. Directors may not engage in equity monetization transactions or hedges involving securities of Enbridge (see “Prohibitions on hedging” on page 76).

          About DSUs   A deferred share unit (“DSU”) is a notional share that has the same value as one Enbridge common share. Its value fluctuates with variations in the market price of Enbridge shares. DSUs do not have voting rights but they accrue dividends as additional DSUs, at the same rate as dividends paid on our common shares.

Director compensation components

Our Directors’ Compensation Plan has four components:

• an annual retainer;

• an annual retainer if they serve as the Chair of the Board or chair of a Board committee;

• a fee for travelling to Board and Board committee meetings (where applicable); and

• reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses relating to their duties as a director.

We do not have meeting attendance fees.

Our Directors’ Compensation Plan has been in effect since 2004 and was revised most recently in 2023. The table below shows the fee schedule for directors in 2023.

2023 directors’ compensation plan retainers
Compensation component	Annual amount (US$)
Board retainer		300,000
Additional retainers
Chair of the Board retainer		265,000
Board committee chair retainer
•  Audit, Finance and Risk		25,000
•  Human Resources and Compensation		20,000
•  Governance		20,000
•  Sustainability		15,000
•  Safety and Reliability		15,000
Travel fee (where applicable)		1,500

Directors are paid quarterly. Mr. Ebel does not receive any director compensation because he is compensated in his role as our President & CEO. We have not granted stock options to directors since 2002. Directors can receive their retainer in a combination of cash, Enbridge shares and DSUs, but they must receive a minimum amount in DSUs, described below. Travel fees are paid in cash.

Before a director’s minimum share ownership is met, at least 50% of their retainer will be paid in the form of DSUs, with the balance paid in cash, Enbridge shares or DSUs, in a percentage mix they choose. Once a director’s minimum share ownership is met, they can choose to receive between 35 and 100% of their retainer in DSUs, with the balance paid in cash, Enbridge shares or DSUs, in a percentage mix they choose.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 71

Advancing strategic priorities

Enbridge’s value proposition has always been focused on supporting long term value creation for investors. Strong, stable and growing cash flows combined with lower-carbon optionality throughout the business support our growing dividend profile today and into the future. In 2023, Enbridge continued to see competitive advantages and opportunities provided by our scale and diversification.

Our commitment to disciplined capital allocation to drive immediate and long-term growth enabled us to capitalize on a $19 billion dollar acquisition of U.S. gas utility assets from Dominion Energy Inc. This acquisition is the second largest in our history and is expected to be accretive in its first full year of ownership. Enbridge was successful executing over $3 billion of tuck-in M&A across our other three business units, and we also added approximately $10 billion of organic projects to our growth backlog. We expect that these acquisitions and organic projects will earn attractive risk-adjusted returns, extending and increasing visibility of our growth outlook.

Safety, sustainability, diversity and inclusion initiatives are core components of our operations and corporate citizenship. We continue to be well positioned for the energy transition and our demonstrated leadership on sustainability helps to support the base business and future growth. Enbridge’s commitment to diversity and social responsibility are reflected across our businesses, employees, management team, and Board.

2023 achievements •  Achieved leading safety performance across the business •  Financial results above midpoint of guidance range continues 18-year history of achieving financial guidance •  Announced 29th consecutive annual dividend increase •  Announced the acquisition of three gas utilities from Dominion Energy Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $19 billion, 85% of which is prefunded •  Placed $2 billion of growth capital into service •  Secured $10 billion of new organic growth •  High utilization across all businesses •  Filed the Mainline tolling settlement with the Canada Energy Regulator (“CER”) •  Significantly enhanced balance sheet strength ahead of closing of U.S. gas utilities acquisitions •  Acquired strategically located gas storage assets in British Columbia (Aitken Creek) and the U.S. Gulf Coast (Tres Palacios) •  Acquired equity stake in Divert Inc. and purchased Morrow Renewables, expanding our RNG portfolio

Compensation highlights

In considering executive compensation outcomes for the year, the HRC Committee assessed performance against financial, strategic and operational objectives in areas including safety, growth and sustainability that were approved by the Board at the beginning of the year and evaluated in the context of our compensation philosophy. Furthermore, the HRC Committee and Board reviewed key performance indicators relative to our performance peer group, including dividend per share growth, earnings per share growth and TSR. There were no discretionary adjustments made by the HRC Committee to our 2023 incentive compensation. The HRC Committee reviewed and approved the 2023 incentive payouts as shown. The awards earned were consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy.

Compensation philosophy

Enbridge’s approach to executive compensation is governed by the HRC Committee and approved by the Board. A rigorous pay-for-performance philosophy is embedded in our short-, medium-, and long-term compensation programs and designed to align with the interests of Enbridge shareholders and other stakeholders, through five main objectives:

	Align to Enbridge’s business strategy •  Our compensation programs are designed to motivate management to deliver exceptional value by focusing on safe and reliable operations while maintaining financial strength and flexibility, and executing on growth opportunities consistent with our low-risk business model. •  Compensation program payouts are designed to align with achievement of our strategic priorities and outcomes.
	Align to Enbridge’s values •  Enbridge is committed to delivering steady, visible and predictable results, and operating our assets in an ethical and responsible manner. •  Core to our strategy is our industry-leading approach to sustainability performance. Our compensation programs reward behaviours and outcomes aligned to our values, which are closely aligned to sustainability goals. •  We assess performance and compliance against our sustainability metrics.
	Attract and retain a highly effective executive team •  Incenting and engaging a high performing executive team is essential for achieving our strategic goals and building a sustainable future for Enbridge. •  Total direct compensation is targeted at the median of a single compensation benchmarking peer group of U.S. and Canadian companies to reflect Enbridge’s identity as a North American leader. •  Compensation programs reward employees for high performance and their potential for future contributions.

Incent and reward for performance •  Performance is the cornerstone of Enbridge’s executive compensation strategy. Our pay-for-performance approach rewards executives for their contributions to the enterprise, business unit and individual results against objectives that support the achievement of our strategic priorities. •  A significant portion of the target compensation mix for the President & CEO and the other NEOs is “at risk”. Incentives are “at risk” because payout is not guaranteed, and their value is determined based on each metric’s guidance range and specific performance criteria. •  When assessing performance, the HRC Committee considers performance results in context of other qualitative factors not captured in the formal metrics, including key performance indicators relative to peers, such as TSR, dividend per share growth, DCF per share growth and others, in addition to qualitative aspects of management’s responsibilities.

Enhance long-term shareholder value •  Our compensation programs focus management on delivering strategic priorities over the long-term. •  Medium- and long-term incentives pay out over time, encouraging a longer-term view of how we create value for our shareholders. •  A significant portion of the 2023 target compensation mix for the President & CEO and NEOs was linked to medium- and long-term incentive programs.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 73

Compensation policies and practices

Our compensation policies and practices are designed to encourage appropriate behaviours, promote strategic risk management, and align to the interests of our shareholders. The following table outlines Enbridge’s compensation policies and practices that maintain disciplined governance.

	What we do
	•  Use a pay-for-performance philosophy whereby the majority of compensation provided to executives is “at risk”

Compensation governance

Enbridge’s compensation governance structure consists of the Board and the HRC Committee, with HR Consultant Mercer (Canada) Limited (“Mercer”), and others from time to time, providing independent advisory support to the HRC Committee. The HRC Committee reviews the governance structure annually against best practices and regulatory guidance.

Board and HRC Committee

The Board is responsible for the oversight of the compensation principles and programs at Enbridge. The HRC Committee approves major compensation programs and payouts, including reviewing and recommending to the Board the compensation for the President & CEO, and appropriate pay for performance relative to peers. The HRC Committee also approves the compensation for the other NEOs.

The HRC Committee assists the Board in carrying out its responsibilities with respect to compensation matters by providing oversight and direction on human resources strategy, policies and programs for the NEOs, other executives and the broader employee base, including compensation, equity incentive plans, pension and benefits as well as talent management, succession planning, workforce recruitment, retention, diversity and inclusion, and employee health and safety. The HRC Committee provides oversight regarding the management of broader people-related risk and, specifically reviews the compensation programs from a risk perspective.

All members of the HRC Committee are independent under the independence standards discussed in this Circular on page 46. The members of the HRC Committee are Steven W. Williams (Chair), Mayank (Mike) M. Ashar, Susan M. Cunningham and S. Jane Rowe.

The members of the HRC Committee have experience as members of the compensation committees of other public companies. In addition, the members of the HRC Committee have experience in top leadership roles, strong knowledge of the energy industry, experience as directors of other public companies, and a mix of other relevant skills and experience. This background provides the HRC Committee members with the collective experience, knowledge and skills to effectively carry out their responsibilities. For information on each HRC Committee member’s experience and current service on other public company boards and committees, see the director profiles, beginning on page 18. For information on each HRC Committee member’s skills and experience, see the skills and experience matrix on page 33. For information on each HRC Committee member’s participation on other Enbridge Board committees, see page 31.

Independent advice

The HRC Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any compensation consultants, outside legal counsel or other advisors it retains (each, an “Advisor”). The HRC Committee may select or receive advice from an Advisor only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to the Advisor’s independence from management including:

• the provision of other services to Enbridge by the Advisor;

• the amount of fees received from Enbridge by the Advisor as a percentage of the Advisor’s total revenue;

• the policies and procedures of the Advisor that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest;

• any shares owned by the Advisor; and

• any business or personal relationship of the Advisor with a member of the HRC Committee or with an executive officer at Enbridge.

Although the HRC Committee is required to consider these factors, it is free to select or receive advice from an Advisor that is not independent.

Since 2002, Mercer, an independent Advisor, has provided guidance to the HRC Committee on compensation matters to help ensure Enbridge’s programs are appropriate, market competitive and continue to meet intended goals. Advisory services provided by Mercer include reviewing:

• the competitiveness and appropriateness of executive compensation programs;

• annual total direct compensation for the President & CEO and the executive leadership team;

• executive compensation governance; and

• the HRC Committee’s mandate and related Board committee processes.

While the HRC Committee considers the information and recommendations Mercer provides, it has full responsibility for its own decisions, which may reflect other factors and considerations.

Each year, the HRC Committee Chair reviews and approves the terms of engagement with Mercer. The terms specify the work to be done in the year, Mercer’s responsibilities and its fees. Management can also retain Mercer on compensation matters from time to time or for prescribed compensation services. The HRC Committee Chair must, however, approve all services that are not standard in nature, considering whether the work would compromise Mercer’s independence.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 75

Management and the HRC Committee engaged Mercer in 2023 to provide analysis and advice on various compensation matters. The following table provides a breakdown of services provided and fees paid to Mercer and its affiliates by Enbridge in 2023 and 2022:

Nature of work	Approximate fees in 2023 ($)		Approximate fees in 2022 ($)
Executive compensation related1		406,106		382,389
All others2		7,389,719		6,938,373
Total		7,795,825		7,320,762

¹ Includes all fees related to executive compensation associated with the President & CEO and the executive leadership team.

² Includes fees paid for other matters that apply to Enbridge as a whole, such as pension actuarial valuations, renewal and pricing of benefit plans, evaluation of geographic market differences and regulatory proceedings support. Also includes risk brokerage service fees paid to Mercer affiliates (Marsh, Oliver Wyman and Guy Carpenter) for services provided to our operating affiliates subject to timing and currency exchange differences.

Compensation risk management

The HRC Committee plays a critical governance role related to enterprise risk. In carrying out this accountability, the HRC Committee employs a number of risk mitigation practices to ensure that Enbridge’s compensation programs are designed in a manner that does not encourage individuals to take inappropriate or excessive risks that could have material adverse impact on Enbridge.

Compensation risk mitigation practices

Enbridge uses the following compensation practices to mitigate risk:

• a pay-for-performance philosophy that is embedded in the compensation design;

• a mix of pay programs benchmarked against a relevant peer group. Our peer group contains companies that are generally similar in size to Enbridge, primarily in terms of enterprise value, and secondarily, market capitalization and assets;

• compensation programs that include a combination of short-, medium- and long-term elements that provide executives with an incentive to consider both the immediate and long-term implications of their decisions;

• program provisions where executives are compensated for their short-term performance using a combination of financial performance and also operational metrics in areas such as safety, growth, and sustainability performance that support a balanced perspective and are a mix of both leading (proactive/preventative) and lagging (incident-based) indicators;

• a rigorous approach to goal setting and a process of establishing targets with multiple levels of performance, which mitigate excessive risk-taking that could harm Enbridge’s value or reward poor judgment of executives;

• performance thresholds that include both minimum and maximum payouts;

• stock award programs that vest over multiple years and are aligned with overall stock price appreciation that drives superior value to Enbridge shareholders;

• share ownership guidelines that require executives to have a meaningful equity stake in Enbridge to align their interests with those of Enbridge shareholders;

• Insider Trading and Reporting Guidelines that include prohibition on hedging provisions to prevent activities that would weaken the intended pay-for-performance link and alignment with Enbridge shareholders’ interests; and

• two incentive compensation clawback policies: one policy that allows Enbridge to recoup, from covered members of senior management, certain overpayments of incentive compensation made to individuals engaged in fraud or willful misconduct; and a new policy that requires Enbridge to recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by covered executive officers in the event that Enbridge is required to prepare a qualifying accounting restatement (subject to certain exceptions).

The HRC Committee has considered the concept of risk as it relates to the Company’s compensation programs and has concluded that the programs do not encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking and are aligned with the long-term interests of shareholders.

Prohibition on hedging

Enbridge’s Insider Trading and Reporting Guidelines, among other things, prohibit directors, officers, employees and contractors (of Enbridge and its subsidiaries) from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by such directors, officers, employees and contactors (including the NEOs), as such positions weaken the link between the intended alignment of director and employee interests with shareholder interests. The following activities are specifically prohibited:

• speculating in securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries;

76 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Executive Compensation       

• “short-selling” securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries (i.e. selling securities that the individual does not own);

• purchasing or selling call or put options or other derivatives relating to securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries; and

• entering into any other financial transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries.

Clawback policies

The Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy, adopted in 2013, allows Enbridge to recover, from current and former members of senior management, certain incentive

compensation amounts awarded or paid to individuals if the individuals engaged in misconduct (defined to include fraud or willful misconduct) that led to inaccurate financial results reporting, regardless of whether the misconduct resulted in a restatement of all or a part of Enbridge’s financial statements.

Effective December 1, 2023, Enbridge also adopted a new Clawback Policy for the Mandatory Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation, in accordance with new SEC and NYSE requirements. Under this new policy, in the event that Enbridge is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of Enbridge with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws, Enbridge is required (subject to certain exceptions) to recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by covered executive officers.

Annual decision-making process

Compensation decisions are guided by our compensation philosophy and principles as described on page 73. The following illustration provides an overview of our annual process for determining and assessing compensation for the President & CEO and other NEOs.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 77

Compensation elements

Enbridge’s compensation program is comprised of elements that balance the use of short-, medium- and long-term vehicles, designed to deliver value to Enbridge shareholders not only in the near-term, but also through continued performance over the long-term. Total direct compensation includes base salary and performance-based incentive awards. The percentage of total target compensation considered at risk for the President & CEO was 89% and an average of 83% for the other NEOs in 2023, and directly aligns pay for our senior leaders to performance outcomes consistent with the interests of Enbridge shareholders.

The following table describes the primary compensation program components for our NEOs, together with key features, objectives and the time horizon for vesting and/or realized value.

Timeframe	Short-term		Medium-term		Long-term

Benchmarking to peers

Total direct compensation for the NEOs is managed within a framework that involves input from and consideration by the President & CEO and the HRC Committee, with Mercer providing independent advisory support. The competitiveness of this framework is based on market data extracted from third-party compensation surveys and publicly disclosed executive compensation information for comparable benchmark roles at peer companies.

Enbridge targets overall total direct compensation at the median of our peer group (including the President & CEO position), considering the skills, competencies and experience of each senior executive.

Peer group determination

Enbridge uses a single North American peer group for executive compensation benchmarking. The following summarizes the key considerations and selection criteria for the compensation peer group of companies:

Industry •  Typically defined as low-risk regulated operations in the North American energy sector. •  The peer group is limited to those in the energy and infrastructure space, rather than extending to other capital-intensive sectors, and are subject to the same external industry pressures and macroeconomic factors as Enbridge. •  Aligns Enbridge to pay competitively against “best-in-class” companies whose executives are often the most knowledgeable about Enbridge’s core businesses.

Size/complexity •  Broadly defined to consider multiple dimensions, including financial (e.g., market capitalization, cash flow, enterprise value, assets, capital employed) and nonfinancial measures (e.g., breadth of operations).

  Geography   •  A North American peer group is used because the President & CEO and other NEOs’ responsibilities are primarily North American in scope and that is generally where we compete for top talent.   •  The majority of our business assets and operations are within the U.S. and Canada, and our shareholders include both U.S. and international institutions.   •  The U.S. market offers more comparable peers from an industry and/or size/complexity perspective; accordingly, our peer group is weighted more heavily towards the U.S.   •  Most Canadian companies are not sufficiently comparable to Enbridge in terms of industry and/or size/complexity, and therefore only appropriate Canadian peers are included in the peer group.

Enbridge’s compensation peer group is reviewed annually by the HRC Committee. The peer group used for determining compensation in 2023 was unchanged from 2022.

Aligning President & CEO pay with performance

Enbridge is committed to aligning President & CEO pay with company performance and TSR, consistent with the rigorous pay-for-performance philosophy embedded in our compensation programs and aligned with the interests of Enbridge shareholders. We place a substantial portion of pay at risk, linked to performance goals that strongly incentivize our executive team to manage the Company in the best long-term interests of our shareholders.

We strongly believe that President & CEO pay should correspond to the performance of the Company, and that relationship should align appropriately, relative to our compensation peers, based on the same pay-for-performance measures. We analyze this relationship over a multi-year period to smooth effects of short-term fluctuations and to better identify long-term performance and market trends.

The HRC Committee reviews key performance indicators, including our TSR, relative to our compensation peer group, and annually performs a comparative analysis of the

President & CEO’s grant date fair value (“GDFV”) pay and realizable pay.

GDFV pay represents the total amount disclosed in the summary compensation table, excluding “pension value” and “all other compensation”. Realizable pay represents “salary” and “non-equity incentive plan compensation”, as disclosed in the summary compensation table and the current market value of unvested or unearned medium- and long-term incentive awards using the 2023 year-end share price.

In our most recent analysis, we compared the relationship between Enbridge’s percentile rank of President & CEO pay and TSR performance over the past three years, relative to our compensation peer group on the same basis.

Enbridge has a strong correlation between President & CEO pay and performance relative to our compensation peers. Enbridge’s placement within the highlighted bands in the charts below indicates that our President & CEO pay outcomes are judiciously aligned with actual company performance results and shareholder expectations.

GDFV pay¹

¹ This chart displays the President & CEO GDFV pay rank against the TSR rank over a three-year period from 2021 to 2023. GDFV pay is calculated from publicly disclosed information in the summary compensation table in 2021 and 2022. 2023 peer data has been estimated with a 4% aging factor.

  The analysis indicated that Enbridge’s President & CEO GDFV pay was positioned at the 33^rd percentile and our TSR was positioned at the 33^rd percentile.

Realizable pay²

² This chart displays the President & CEO realizable pay rank against the TSR rank over a three-year period from 2021 to 2023. Realizable pay includes peer group CEOs’ outstanding equity awards as of December 31 in publicly disclosed information in 2021 and 2022. 2023 data for peers has been assumed based on the December 31, 2023 share price.

  The analysis indicated that Enbridge’s President & CEO realizable pay was positioned at the 22^nd percentile and our TSR was positioned at the 33^rd percentile.

2023 compensation decisions

Market review

In 2023, the HRC Committee engaged Mercer to gather and assess current market compensation data for the NEOs to validate that our programs are appropriate and market competitive. This assessment indicated that the NEOs’ total direct compensation continues to lag the compensation peer group median year over year.

Base salary

Base salary is the principal fixed source of cash compensation provided to the President & CEO and other NEOs. Base salary reflects each executive’s level of responsibility, capabilities and experience in the context of

their role and the market. Base salaries are reviewed annually and increases may be provided when an executive assumes increased responsibilities or significantly deepens their knowledge and expertise, or when there is a material change in the compensation levels of comparable roles in the compensation peer group.

Mr. Murray and Mr. Akman were new NEOs in 2023 and their base salaries were set relative to the scope and responsibilities of their roles, with consideration for external market data and internal equity.

Effective April 1, 2023, Mr. Gruending and Ms. Hansen received base salary increases to better align their positioning relative to the market.

	Base salary at December 31
Executive	20221 ($)		20231 ($)
Gregory L. Ebel2		–		1,780,110
Patrick R. Murray3		–		735,000

Short-term incentive

Designed to motivate and deliver annual corporate, business unit and individual performance

It is critically important that all Enbridge executives are incentivized to achieve not only financial results but also operational results in areas such as safety, growth, and sustainability performance. For this reason, our STIP awards are designed to reflect a comprehensive assessment of corporate, business unit and individual performance, as determined by our HRC Committee.

• Corporate performance. The corporate component of the performance metrics is based on a single, objective company-wide performance metric that is designed to drive achievement of near-term business priorities and financial results for the organization. Corporate performance metrics and ranges for threshold, target and maximum incentive opportunities of the STIP award are determined by the HRC Committee at the beginning of the year.

• Business unit performance. Business unit performance is assessed relative to a scorecard of metrics and targets established for each business and their senior management teams, that relate to the objectives of each business unit.

• Individual performance. Individual performance objectives and results for the President & CEO are discussed with the Board and approved by the HRC Committee, and are established to align with financial, strategic, and operational priorities related to contributions to the overall organization. Individual performance metrics for other NEOs are set in consultation with the President & CEO, to align with financial, strategic, operational priorities, and to recognize and differentiate individual actions and contributions in final pay decisions. Each executive’s target award and payout range reflect the level of responsibility associated with their role as well as competitive practice and is established as a percentage of base salary.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 83

The HRC Committee retains discretion to change performance measures, scorecards, and the award levels when it believes it is reasonable to do so, considering matters such as key performance indicators, performance relative to our compensation peer group, market conditions, and the business environment in which the performance was achieved. In addition, the HRC Committee retains discretion to approve adjustments to the calculated STIP award to reflect extraordinary events and other factors not contemplated in the original measures or targets. In 2023, no such adjustments were made to performance measures, scorecards or award levels.

STIP awards are earned between 0-200% of the target award based on achievement of the applicable corporate, business unit, and individual performance metrics and giving effect to the applicable weighting of each metric.

Short-term incentive targets

The table below displays the short-term incentive targets (as a % of salary) as of December 31, 2023, as well as corresponding company, business unit and individual performance weightings:

			Performance measure weighting
Executive	STIP target (% of base salary)		Company		Business unit		Individual
Gregory L. Ebel		145%		60%		30%		10%
Patrick R. Murray		100%		60%		30%		10%
Colin K. Gruending		100%		40%		50%		10%
Cynthia L. Hansen		100%		40%		50%		10%
Matthew A. Akman		90%		60%		30%		10%

Corporate performance

The corporate performance component is reviewed annually to select measures that align with our strategy and are appropriate for measuring annual performance. The same corporate component metrics and goals apply to each NEO. In February 2023, the HRC Committee approved management’s recommendation to continue to use DCF per share as the corporate performance metric. The HRC Committee retains discretion in assessing the strength of the corporate performance metrics and also retains discretion to determine the overall corporate performance payout.

For 2023, DCF per share targets were set using the external financial guidance range to determine threshold and target payments. For any payout to occur, Enbridge must achieve minimum threshold performance. For a maximum payout to occur, Enbridge must achieve the top, or exceed the guidance range, which ensures there is appropriate stretch in the plan and aligns with shareholder expectations.

DCF per share is the approved corporate performance metric for 2023

The HRC Committee believes DCF per share:

•  is the most appropriate measure of financial performance for the enterprise;

•  will enhance transparency of Enbridge’s cash flow growth and increase comparability of results relative to peers;

•  will help ensure full value recognition for Enbridge’s superior assets, and commercial and growth arrangements; and

•  provides a low-risk value proposition for shareholders.

We delivered strong financial results in 2023 and advanced on each of our strategic priorities set out in our 2023 Strategic Plan, placing $2 billion of growth capital into service and securing $10 billion of new organic growth. In 2023, DCF per share achieved above target of the guidance range, determined to be $5.58 and resulted in a 2023 STIP performance multiplier of 1.65x, representing 100% of the corporate performance metric. No discretion was applied beyond standard normalizations. The 2023 corporate STIP metric results are displayed in this graphic.

¹ DCF per share is a non-GAAP measure; this measure is defined and reconciled in the Non-GAAP and other financial measures section of Appendix C. For incentive compensation purposes, adjusted DCF per share also includes certain adjustments for events or circumstances not contemplated at the time the performance metrics were originally established – see the Non-GAAP and other financial measures section of Appendix C.

² DCF per share between thresholds in this visual result in a performance multiplier calculated on a linear basis.

Business unit performance

The breakdown of the business unit weightings emphasizes the importance for each business unit President to drive financial performance and growth, maintain strong cost control and financial flexibility, while ensuring safe and reliable operations everyday. Business unit performance is also defined by the significance of sustainability metrics including, but not limited to, reduction of GHG emissions intensity and increase in diverse employee representation. Progress towards Enbridge’s sustainability goals, as a whole, is reflected in incentive compensation for the President & CEO and NEOs.¹

¹  Specific goals regarding diversity and inclusion are aspirational goals which we intend to achieve in a manner compliant with state, local, provincial and federal law, including, but not limited to, U.S. federal regulations, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Department of Labor and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.

The HRC Committee approved the application of the following business unit metrics in 2023:

Key performance indicator		Metrics	Weight1
	Ensure safe, reliable operations	•  Total Recordable Incident Frequency (“TRIF”)2, Environmental Incident Frequency, Pipeline System Safety, Total Damages Per 1000 Locates, release volume, cybersecurity, transmission reliability and integrity compliance	30-40%
	Maintain financial strength and flexibility	•  Ability to maintain strong cost control and to ensure financial flexibility and assist in achieving financial guidance as outlined to investors and defined in the long-range plan •  EBITDA3	20-35%
	Progress toward our sustainability goals	•  Reduction of GHG emissions intensity •  Increase in diverse employee representation	10%
	Extend and execute growth	•  EBITDA generated by growth capital, including organic growth projects and mergers and acquisitions	10-20%

¹ Weight varies by different business unit scorecard.

² The Central Functions scorecard includes its own specific TRIF metric in addition to the weighted average of business unit safety outcomes.

³ The Central Functions scorecard includes the weighted average of EBITDA.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 85

The 2023 business unit outcomes reflect a year of strong results, and we delivered on our commitment to achieve the targets set out in the Company’s strategic priorities. The business units operated in a challenging external environment, but performance was strong with significant revenue and cost mitigation actions successfully executed. The 2023 results were achieved through strong progress on efficiency, fiscal discipline and progress on our sustainability goals. Operational and safety metrics were at or above target. We experienced solid results on emissions intensity reduction and continue to progress on diversity and inclusion objectives. The HRC Committee approved the application of the following business unit results in 2023:

Medium- and long-term incentives

Designed to align the interests of shareholders and motivate longer-term value generation and stock price appreciation

Enbridge’s medium- and long-term incentives for executives includes three primary vehicles: PSUs, RSUs and ISOs. The long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) target mix is PSUs (60%), RSUs (20%), and ISOs (20%).

Weighting the majority of the LTIP target mix with PSUs aligns to our compensation philosophy and motivates NEOs to focus on performance conditions including Enbridge’s three-year financial outlook and TSR relative to our performance peer group. Payout is not guaranteed, and their value is determined based on each metric’s guidance range and specific performance criteria.

Enbridge’s medium-and long-term incentives are forward-looking compensation vehicles, and as such, grants are considered part of the compensation for the year of grant and onward instead of in recognition of prior performance or previously granted awards. The various awards that apply to executives have different terms, vesting conditions and performance criteria, mitigating the risk that executives produce only short-term results. This approach also benefits shareholders and helps maximize the ongoing retentive value of the medium-and long-term incentives granted to executives.

Medium- and long-term incentive awards were granted in 2023 under the Enbridge Inc. 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2019 LTIP”). The HRC Committee approved increases to NEOs’ 2023 LTIP targets to support continued alignment with our strategy and shareholders interests, improve alignment with the competitive market, and recognize the increasing complexity of the business.

Medium- and long-term incentive grants are determined as follows:

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 87

The table below outlines the medium- and long-term incentive plans used in 2023:

	PSU	RSU	ISO

Performance stock units

PSUs are granted annually, in the first quarter of the year, and vest at the end of the third year. The achievement of pre-established and specific performance measures are certified on the maturity date; the executives’ potential payout at the end of the performance period can range from 0% to 200% of the target award depending on the level of achievement of the performance measures. The final Enbridge share price for payout is the volume weighted average trading price of Enbridge shares on the TSX or NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the maturity date, on which performance is certified. These award payouts are made in cash.

2023 performance stock unit grant

Sustainability is foundational to our business. Enbridge has a long history of integrating sustainability into its strategic priorities and takes pride in its industry leadership. To align our long-term compensation and sustainability performance, and reinforce accountability that will position our company to grow sustainably for many decades to come, progress towards our GHG emissions intensity reduction goals are included in the 2023 PSU grants. The following performance metrics and weightings were used for the 2023 PSU grant:

Metrics	Description	Weights
DCF per share growth	Represents a commitment to Enbridge shareholders to achieve DCF growth that demonstrates Enbridge’s ability to deliver on its growth plan and continued dividend increases. Measurement against Enbridge’s long-range plan, as well as against industry growth rates, differentiates this metric compared to its use in the STIP, which is based on the one-year external guidance range. The different measurement periods are designed to avoid excessive overlap between Enbridge’s compensation programs. Furthermore, DCF per share growth comprises only 45% of the overall PSU plan.		45	%
Relative TSR	For this measure, Enbridge compares itself against a performance peer group of companies, chosen because they are all capital market competitors, operating in comparable geographies and industry sector.		45	%
GHG emissions  intensity reduction	The GHG emissions intensity reduction targets are established based on the estimated intensity and corresponding percent GHG emissions reduction from our operations in the target year relative to 2018 baseline. The GHG emissions intensity reduction metric reinforces our commitment to reduce the emissions intensity by 35% from our operations by 2030. Enbridge’s emissions reduction performance is made public in our annual Sustainability Report.		10	%

The mechanics of the 2023 PSU grant are illustrated below:

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 89

At maturity, we compare our TSR to a Board approved performance peer group to determine the TSR performance multiplier, as illustrated above. The performance peer group is comprised of Canadian and U.S. companies with a similar business and/or geographic mix to Enbridge and reflects the market’s perception of our overall performance relative to our peers over the three-year award term. As Enbridge has grown and evolved to pursue our low-risk pipeline/utility like business strategy our peer group has evolved to include a greater proportion of gas and electric utilities. The most relevant performance peer group for Enbridge includes a 75% weighting on midstream companies and 25% on utility companies. The PSU performance peer group is outlined below:

Performance peer group: relative TSR
Canada
Canadian Utilities Limited Class A	Pembina Pipeline Corporation
Fortis Inc.	TC Energy Corporation

The grant value (as % of base salary) is calculated using the grant date fair value of each award granted divided by his salary at the time of grant. See summary compensation table on page 100 for award details.

Restricted stock units

RSUs are granted annually, in the first quarter of the year, and vest after three years. These awards are settled in Enbridge shares at the end of the term. The final settlement price at the end of the term is the volume weighted average trading price of Enbridge shares on the TSX or NYSE for the last 20 trading days before the end of the term.

See summary compensation table on page 100 for award details.

Retention award

We take an integrated approach to talent management and succession planning using a comprehensive framework aligned to our business strategies, which is overseen by the HRC Committee and the Board. We focus on the identification, assessment and development of executives and high-potential talent to build future-ready leaders and strengthen overall succession, ensuring we retain top talent and maintain a diverse pipeline of leaders to drive both short-and longer-term performance.

Our philosophy of development and retention of critical executive talent supports and strengthens our culture, and builds versatility, while providing multiple succession options. We complement this practice with selective senior level external hiring to bring in critical skills and capabilities, close succession gaps and foster diverse thinking.

In January 2023, Mr. Akman was provided a retention award to assist in assuring continuity and execution of our business plan through the transition of the President & CEO role to Mr. Ebel. In making this decision, several factors were considered in determining the retention award amount including Mr. Akman’s expected future direct impact to long-term business strategy, continuing succession potential and compensation relative to the competitive labour market we operate in. This award has a grant date fair value of $2,000,000 and consists of share-settled RSUs, which cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and is not part of his regular annual compensation.

Incentive stock options

ISOs provide executives an opportunity to buy Enbridge shares at some point in the future at the exercise price defined at the time of grant. Both Canadian and U.S. members of Enbridge’s senior management, including all NEOs, are eligible to receive ISOs.

ISOs are typically granted in February or March each year. ISOs vest annually in equal instalments over a four-year period. The maximum term of an ISO is 10 years, but the term can be reduced if the executive leaves Enbridge as described in the “Termination provisions of equity compensation plans” section. The exercise price of an ISO is the closing price of an Enbridge share on the listed exchange on the last trading day before the grant date. The grant date will be no earlier than the third trading day after a trading blackout period ends. ISOs are never backdated or re-priced. ISOs may be granted to executives when they join Enbridge, typically effective on the executive’s date of hire. If the hire date falls within a blackout period, the grant is delayed until after the end of the blackout period.

Awards vesting in 2023

2021 performance stock unit payout

The PSUs granted in February 2021 have a performance period that ended on December 31, 2023. The DCF per share compound growth achieved was 6.5%, while the relative TSR performance placed at the 30^th percentile. The performance peer group for the 2021 PSU payout can be found on page 90. The HRC Committee approved the vesting of shares with an overall performance multiplier of 1.10x:

	Multiplier1	DCF per share compound growth2		TSR
Threshold	0.00x		1.7%	at or below 25th percentile
Target	1.00x		2.7%	at median
Maximum	2.00x		5.3%	at or above 75th percentile
Actual	1.10x		6.5% (2.00x)	30th percentile (0.20x)

¹ Performance between the thresholds in this table results in a performance multiplier calculated on a linear basis.

² Adjusted DCF per share is based on operating cash flows and is a non-GAAP measure, which is defined and reconciled in the Non-GAAP and other financial measures section of Appendix C. For incentive compensation purposes, adjusted DCF per share also includes certain adjustments for events or circumstances not contemplated at the time the performance metrics were originally established – see the Non-GAAP and other financial measures section of Appendix C.

2024 compensation changes

Share ownership guidelines

Based on the review of Enbridge’s share ownership guidelines with respect to governance practices, a decision was made to increase the multiple of salary required to be held for the President & CEO, Executive Vice President (“EVP”) and Senior Vice President (“SVP”) levels. To enhance and extend our leading governance practices, the share holding requirements for our executives increased effective January 1, 2024, as outlined below:

• President & CEO – increased 33% from 6x base salary to 8x

• CFO and EVPs – increased 33% from 3x base salary to 4x

• SVPs – increased 100% from 1x base salary to 2x

For more information about Enbridge’s share ownership guidelines, see the “Share ownership” section, on page 102.

2024 STIP

STIP awards are designed to align with goals to drive collective outcomes across the business. New in 2024, Enbridge is shifting to one company scorecard that is shared by all employees. This approach simplifies and streamlines the process of goal setting, measurement and tracking of performance, while driving alignment across the organization. The scorecard will include metrics tied to:

• financial results (earnings and cash generation at the enterprise and business unit level);

• safety performance;

• project execution;

• sustainability goals; and

• cybersecurity.

The performance payout range remains unchanged at 0-200% of target.

For our NEOs, STIP will be weighted 85% on the new scorecard and 15% on the individual performance score tied to measurable high-priority and results-focused goals that align to the corporate strategy.

President & CEO compensation

Greg Ebel was appointed our President & CEO effective January 1, 2023, and is primarily responsible for executing our long-term business strategy. In 2023, Mr. Ebel was instrumental in building on Enbridge’s legacy as a diversified energy delivery company and positioning Enbridge to be the first-choice energy provider in North America. Under his leadership, the Company continued to deliver on its strategic priorities of expanding and modernizing our conventional business to ensure reliability, lowering our emissions, and increasing investments in lower-carbon opportunities.

Enbridge recently announced a 3% increase in dividends for shareholders effective March 1, 2024—our 29^th consecutive annual dividend increase—demonstrating that dividend increases remain an important part of our shareholder value proposition. In 2023, Mr. Ebel played a key role in securing attractive, organic projects and highly strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition of the largest and only underground natural gas storage facility in B.C. and three U.S. based utilities, creating the largest (by volume) North American natural gas utility franchise.

In setting Mr. Ebel’s compensation for 2023, the HRC Committee considered the salary levels and incentive opportunities of our former President & CEO and the CEOs of our North American peers. Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy and in alignment with shareholder interests, his incentive pay is based on how the Company performs relative to those peers, and against the Company’s financial and strategic objectives. For 2023, the HRC Committee approved a base salary, STIP and LTIP opportunities that closely aligned with the median of our peers and that of our former President & CEO.

In 2023, the HRC Committee also considered that our President & CEO was critical in ensuring a smooth leadership transition so Enbridge could continue to connect millions of people to the energy they rely on through our natural gas, oil and renewable power networks, while maintaining our commitment to achieving net zero GHG emissions from our operations.

Aligning President & CEO compensation to shareholder value

Enbridge’s compensation programs are designed to deliver value to Enbridge shareholders not only in the near-term, but also through long-term achievement of our strategic priorities.

The chart below shows the value of a $100 investment made in Enbridge common shares at the end of each of the last three years (assuming reinvestment of dividends throughout the term) and shows the growth in total direct compensation for the role of President & CEO. The President & CEO’s total direct compensation shown in the chart below is the total direct compensation reported in the summary compensation table for Mr. Ebel for the year ended 2023 and the total direct compensation reported in the previously disclosed summary compensation table for the former President & CEO for the years ended 2021 and 2022 (including base salary, short-term incentive award paid, and the grant value of medium- and long-term incentive awards).

The total return on Enbridge common shares has been positive over the past three years. Total direct compensation paid for the role of President & CEO has also increased over the same period in line with market. The HRC Committee reviewed the relationship of President & CEO pay to TSR over the past three years and determined they were appropriately aligned. Additional details on executive compensation and shareholder return can be found on page 103.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 101

Share ownership

It is important for the NEOs to have a meaningful equity stake in Enbridge – owning Enbridge shares is a tangible way to align the interests of executives with those of Enbridge shareholders.

Executives can acquire Enbridge shares by participating in the employee savings plan, exercising stock options, retaining shares from vested RSUs, or by making investments in Enbridge shares. Unvested RSUs, personal holdings and Enbridge shares held in the name of a spouse, dependent child or trust, all count toward meeting the guidelines. PSUs and unexercised stock options do not count toward meeting the guidelines.

The share ownership requirement for 2023 was six times base salary for the President & CEO and three times base salary for the other NEOs.

To enhance and extend our leading governance practices, effective January 1, 2024, the share holding requirements for our executives increased by 33% for CEO to eight times, and CFO and EVPs to four times of base salary.

Mr. Ebel, Mr. Gruending, Ms. Hansen, and Mr. Akman have exceeded the current requirements as of December 31, 2023. Mr. Murray had met the previous requirements in his SVP role, and has four years from his promotion date of July 1, 2023 to meet the EVP requirements, as displayed in the following graph:

Performance graph

Executive compensation and shareholder return

The chart below shows the value of a $100 investment made on January 1, 2019, in both Enbridge common shares, the S&P/TSX Composite Index and Enbridge’s compensation peer group at the end of each of the last five years (assuming reinvestment of dividends throughout the term) and shows the growth in total direct compensation for the NEOs reported in the summary compensation table over the same period. For the purpose of the graph, returns are shown in local currency.

Total direct compensation includes base salary, short-term incentive award paid, and the grant value of medium- and long-term incentive awards. Average total direct compensation is taken by dividing the total direct compensation from the summary compensation table by the number of named executives in any given year. The total direct compensation value for NEOs is 0.72% of our adjusted earnings of $5,743 million for 2023.

The total return on Enbridge common shares has been positive from 2019 to 2023, despite a dip in economic activity and reduced demand for energy in 2020. Average compensation paid to the NEOs has also increased over the same period.

Outstanding option-based and share-based awards

The table below shows the option-based and share-based awards that were outstanding on December 31, 2023. The market value of unvested or unearned awards is calculated based on C$47.70 per share for awards denominated in Canadian dollars and US$36.02 for awards denominated in U.S. dollars, which are the closing prices of our shares on the TSX and NYSE on December 29, 2023. The market value of unvested or unearned awards denominated in U.S. dollars were each converted from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars using the published WM/Reuters 4 pm London 2023 year-end exchange rate of US$1 = C$1.3186.

Payouts are determined by using the volume weighted average trading price of Enbridge shares on the TSX for the last 20 trading days immediately preceding the end of each vesting period. In accordance with the vesting schedule, 20% of the award (8,960 units) vested February 18, 2023, with a final share price of $53.63 and resulted in the final payout to Mr. Yu of $551,785. The remaining unvested retention RSUs were forfeited upon Mr. Yu’s retirement.

Termination of employment and change-in-control arrangements

Employment agreements

Enbridge has employment agreements with Messrs. Ebel, Murray, and Gruending, and Ms. Hansen. The terms in the employment agreements are competitive and part of a comprehensive compensation package that assists in recruiting and retaining top executive talent.

106 Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular

    Executive Compensation       

The agreements generally provide payments for executives in the case of involuntary termination for any reason (other than for cause) or voluntary termination within 150 days after constructive dismissal, as defined in each agreement, and do not provide for any “single-trigger” severance payments upon a change in control of the Company. As a condition to receiving payments under the employment agreements upon a qualifying termination of employment, the executive must execute a general release of claims in favour of Enbridge and comply with the following restrictive covenants:

Confidentiality provision	Non-competition/solicitation	No recruitment
2 years after departure	1 year after departure	2 years after departure

Enbridge has not entered into an employee agreement with Mr. Akman. His termination provisions are aligned with his original signed offer letter upon his hire.

Termination of employment scenarios

Compensation that would be paid to Messrs. Ebel, Murray, Gruending and Ms. Hansen pursuant to the terms of their existing employment agreements under various termination scenarios, including change in control (“CIC”), is described below.

Compensation  component	Resignation	Retirement	Termination not for cause or constructive dismissal	Termination following CIC
	Voluntary		Involuntary
Base salary	None	None	Two times the current salary is paid in a lump sum
Short-term incentive	Payable in full if executive has worked the entire calendar year and remains actively employed on the payment date. Otherwise, none	Current year’s incentive prorated to retirement date	Two times the average short-term incentive award over the past two years is paid out in a lump sum plus the current year’s short-term incentive, prorated based on active service during the year of termination based on target performance
Medium- and long- term incentives	•  PSUs and RSUs forfeited •  Vested stock options must be exercised within 30 days of resignation or by the end of the original term (if sooner) •  Unvested stock options are cancelled	•  PSUs and RSUs are prorated to retirement date and value is assessed and paid at the end of the usual term •  Stock options granted prior to 2020 continue to vest and can be exercised for three years after retirement (or option expiry, if sooner) •  Stock options granted in 2020 and thereafter continue to vest and can be exercised for five years after retirement (or option expiry, if sooner)	•  PSUs and RSUs are prorated to date of termination (plus any applicable notice period) and value is assessed and paid at the end of the usual term •  Vested stock options must be exercised according to stock option terms •  The in-the-money spread value of unvested stock options is paid in cash	•  PSUs vest and value is assessed and paid on performance measures deemed to have been achieved as of the change of control. RSUs vest and are paid out •  All stock options vest and remain exercisable for 30 days following termination (or option expiry, if sooner)
Pension	No longer earns service credits		Additional two years of pension credit are added to the final pension calculation
Benefits	None	Post-retirement benefits begin	Two times the value of future benefits paid out in a lump sum

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 107

Mr. Akman’s resignation and retirement treatment for base salary, short-term incentives, medium- and long-term incentives, and benefits is consistent with all other NEOs as described in the table above. The value of pension accrual during the notice period will be paid as a lump sum outside of the pension plan. In the case of involuntary termination not for cause, payments for base salary, short-term incentives, medium- and long-term incentives, benefits and pension accrual will be calculated in respect of the applicable notice period as fifty-two weeks plus three weeks per completed year of service, up to a maximum of one-hundred and four weeks. In the case of involuntary termination upon a CIC, payments for base salary, short-term incentives, benefits and pension accrual will also be calculated in respect of the applicable notice period as fifty-two weeks plus three weeks per completed year of service, up to a maximum of one-hundred and four weeks. In the case of involuntary termination upon a CIC, medium- and long-term incentives treatment is consistent with all other NEOs as described in the table above.

The amounts shown in the table below include the estimated potential payments and benefits that would be payable to each of our NEOs as a result of the specified triggering event, assumed to occur as of December 31, 2023. The actual amounts that would be payable in these circumstances can be determined only at the time of the executive’s separation, would include payments or benefits already earned or vested and may differ from the amounts set forth in the table below. Amounts in U.S. dollars have been converted to Canadian dollars using the published WM/Reuters 4 pm London year-end exchange rate of US$1 = C$1.3186 in 2023.

¹ Mr. Ebel, Ms. Hansen, and Mr. Akman are retirement eligible as of December 31, 2023. Retirement eligibility under Enbridge programs means age 55 or older.

² Reflects a lump sum payment equal to two times the NEO’s base salary in effect as at December 31, 2023.

³ Reflects a lump sum payment equal two times the average of the short-term incentive award paid to the NEO in the two years preceding the year in which the termination occurs. In addition, the NEO would receive a short-term incentive payment for the current year reflected in the summary compensation table.

⁴ Represents the value of RSUs and PSUs that would vest and be settled in cash upon the triggering event, based on C$47.70 for awards granted in Canadian dollars and US$36.02 for awards granted in U.S. dollars, the closing price of an Enbridge share on the TSX and NYSE, respectively, on December 29, 2023, and assuming, in the case of PSUs, target performance. For PSUs and RSUs, severance period, as outlined in the executive employment agreement, counts towards active service when prorating for termination without cause.

⁵ Represents the “in-the-money value” of unvested ISOs as of December 31, 2023, that would be paid in cash (as a result of an involuntary termination without cause) or that would become vested (as a result of an involuntary or good reason termination after a CIC or retirement). In-the-money value is calculated as C$47.70 for awards granted in Canadian dollars and US$36.02 for awards granted in U.S. dollars, the closing price of an Enbridge share on the TSX and NYSE, respectively, on December 29, 2023, less the applicable exercise price of the option.

⁶ Reflects the value of two additional years of pension credit for Messrs. Ebel, Murray, Gruending and Ms. Hansen. See footnote 8 regarding Mr. Akman’s pension calculation.

⁷ Reflects a lump sum cash payment in respect of the flex credit allowance, vacation carryover and savings plan matching contributions that would have been paid by Enbridge in respect of the NEO over a period of two years following the NEO’s termination, plus an allowance for financial and career counselling.

⁸ Mr. Akman’s termination provisions are aligned with his original offer letter. In the case of involuntary termination not for cause, payments for base salary, short-term incentives, medium and long-term incentives, benefits and pension accrual will be calculated in respect of the applicable notice period as fifty-two weeks plus three weeks per completed year of service, up to a maximum of one-hundred and four weeks. In the case of involuntary termination upon a CIC, payments for base salary, short-term incentives, benefits and pension accrual will also be calculated in respect of the applicable notice period as fifty-two weeks plus three weeks per completed year of service, up to a maximum of one-hundred and four weeks. Mr. Akman’s severance calculations are based off 73 weeks as of December 31, 2023.

⁹ Amounts shown for Mr. Yu represent the value on his departure date, with payout value of the unvested medium- and long-term incentives based on the closing price of an Enbridge share on the TSX on his retirement date June 30, 2023, of $49.24.

Additional equity compensation information

Enbridge shares used for purposes of equity compensation

Enbridge adopted the 2019 LTIP effective February 13, 2019, under which stock options were granted beginning in 2019. The 2019 LTIP was approved by our shareholders at our 2019 annual meeting of shareholders.

Two prior stock option plans were approved by Enbridge shareholders in 2007, as Enbridge Inc. Incentive Stock Option Plan (2007), as revised (Incentive Stock Option Plan), and Enbridge Inc. Performance Stock Option Plan (2007), as amended and restated (2011) and further amended (2012 and 2014). No awards have been or will be granted under the Incentive Stock Option Plan or Performance Stock Option Plan after February 13, 2019, and all shares still available to be issued and not subject to awards under these prior stock option plans became available under the 2019 LTIP.

Governance for making changes to the 2019 LTIP

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2019 LTIP at any time without shareholder approval, provided that no amendment, other than an increase to the overall share limit, may materially and adversely affect any award outstanding at the time of the amendment without the affected participant’s consent.

Enbridge shareholder approval is required to implement any of the following changes:

• increasing the overall share limit;

• reducing the grant, exercise or purchase price for any awards;

• the cancellation of any awards and the reissue of or replacement of such awards with awards having a lower grant, exercise or purchase price;

• removing or exceeding the limits of the 2019 LTIP on participation by insiders;

• the extension of the term of any award;

• allowing other than employees or non-employee directors of the Company or a subsidiary to become participants in the 2019 LTIP;

• allowing awards to become transferable or assignable other than by will or according to the laws of descent and distribution; and

• changing the amendment provisions of the 2019 LTIP.

Termination provisions of equity compensation plans

The termination provisions for equity compensation awards granted under the 2019 LTIP (as governed by the incentive stock option grant agreements and the restricted stock unit grant agreements), and the incentive stock option plan (2007), as revised are summarized below.

Reason for termination		Incentive stock option provisions1	Restricted stock unit provisions
Resignation		Can exercise vested options up to 30 days from the date of termination or until the option term expires (if sooner).	All outstanding RSUs are forfeited.
Retirement		For incentive stock options granted prior to 2020, options continue to vest and can be exercised up to three years from retirement or until the stock option term expires (if sooner). For incentive stock options granted in 2020 and thereafter, options continue to vest and can be exercised up to five years from retirement or until the stock option term expires (if sooner).	RSUs are prorated to retirement date and value is assessed and settled at the end of the usual term.
Death		All options vest and can be exercised up to 12 months from the date of death or until the option term expires (if sooner).	All outstanding RSUs become vested and are settled no later than 30 days following the date of death.
Disability		Options continue to vest based on the regular provisions of the plan.	All outstanding RSUs become vested and are settled no later than 30 days following the date of disability.
Involuntary termination	not for cause	Unvested options continue to vest and options that are vested or become vested can be exercised up to 30 days after the termination date or the notice period (if applicable) or until the option term expires (if sooner).	RSUs are prorated to termination date (plus any applicable notice period) and value is assessed and settled at the end of the usual term.
	for cause	All options are cancelled on the date of termination.	All outstanding RSUs are forfeited.
Change of control or reorganization		For 2016 and prior grants, for a change of control, options vest on a date determined by the HRC Committee before the change of control. For any other kind of reorganization, options are to be assumed by the successor Company. If they are not assumed, they will vest and the value will be paid in cash. Beginning with the 2017 grants, if the employment of a participant is terminated without cause (including constructive dismissal) by the Company or a subsidiary within two years after a change of control, then all unvested options of the participant vest on that double-trigger date.	If the employment of a participant is terminated without cause, (including constructive dismissal) by the Company or a subsidiary within two years after a change of control, then all outstanding RSUs become vested and are settled no later than 30 days following the date of termination.
Other transfer or assignment of stock options		The holder of an option may not transfer or assign it other than by will, or as allowed by the laws of descent and distribution.	The award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

¹ Differences in termination provisions apply for US$ options where the executive has elected treatment as incentive stock options within the meaning of U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 422. All U.S. ISOs beginning with the 2018 grant are issued as non-qualified.

Other benefits elements

Retirement benefits

The NEOs participate in the Senior Management Pension Plan (“SMPP”), a non-contributory defined benefit plan which is part of a market competitive compensation package for all Canadian and U.S. members of senior management. Before becoming participants in the SMPP, certain NEOs participated in a defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan.

Defined benefit plan

The following graphic shows how the SMPP retirement benefit payable at normal retirement age is calculated:

Key terms of the SMPP:

• Eligibility: members of senior management join the SMPP on the later of their date of hire or promotion to a senior management position;

• Vesting: plan participants are fully vested immediately;

• Retirement age: normal retirement date is age 65. Participants may retire and receive an unreduced benefit at age 60, or as early as age 55 if they have 30 years of service. Participants with less than 30 years of service may retire on or after age 55 and receive a benefit that is reduced by 3% for each year the participant’s age at retirement was less than age 60;

• Survivor benefits: benefits are payable for the life of the member. If the member is single at retirement, 15 years of pension payments are guaranteed. If the member is married at retirement and dies before their spouse, 60% of the pension will continue to be paid to the spouse for his/her lifetime.

Pension benefits are paid from the following tax-qualified and supplemental pension plans which comprise the SMPP:

• Retirement Plan for Employees of Enbridge Inc. and Affiliates;

• Enbridge Employee Services, Inc. Employees’ Pension Plan;

• Enbridge Supplemental Pension Plan; and

• Enbridge Employee Services Inc. Supplemental Pension Plan for United States Employees.

¹ The components of compensatory change are current service cost and the difference between actual and estimated pensionable earnings.

² The non-compensatory change includes interest on the accrued obligation at the start of the year, changes in actuarial assumptions and other experience gains and losses not related to compensation.

³ Mr. Ebel accrued a deferred vested pension benefit, and is also in receipt of a pension, from various legacy pension plans in respect of service while employed by Spectra Energy prior to February 27, 2017. These entitlements were assumed by Enbridge on closing of the Merger Transaction but are not linked to, or impacted by, his employment with Enbridge Inc., so are not included in the above table. As at December 31, 2023, the accrued obligation in respect of these legacy entitlements is C$5,551,000 and the accrued annual benefits payable at year end is C$346,000.

⁴ U.S. dollars have been converted to Canadian dollars using the published WM/Reuters 4 pm London year-end exchange rate of US$1 = C$1.3186 in 2023. The impact of changes to exchange rates on Mr. Ebel and Ms. Hansen’s accrued obligation are reflected in the non-compensatory change.

⁵ Ms. Hansen’s and Mr. Yu’s SMPP retirement benefits are indexed for inflation.

⁶ In 2020, Ms. Hansen, Mr. Gruending, and Mr. Yu were granted a temporary hold-harmless against a reduction to their SMPP pension resulting from the significant reductions in base salary should they retire within five years of the reduction. These temporary base salary reductions were related to the impacts of COVID-19, reduced energy demand and reduced commodity prices, and were not intended to have a permanent impact on the SMPP lifetime pensions. NEO base salaries were reinstated in 2021.

⁷ Mr. Yu’s annual benefits payable and accrued obligation at year end reflects his retirement in 2023.

Defined contribution plan

The defined contribution pension plan is a non-contributory pension plan. The level of contribution varies, depending on age and years of service. None of the NEOs are currently participating in the defined contribution pension plan.

Mr. Murray, Mr. Gruending, Ms. Hansen, and Mr. Yu participated in the defined contribution plan for ten years, four years, six years, and five years respectively, prior to joining the SMPP. The values shown below reflect market value of assets of the defined contribution plan.

Other benefits

Enbridge’s savings plan and benefits plans are key elements of the total compensation package for our employees, including our NEOs.

Savings Plan

Enbridge provides a savings plan for Canadian employees and a 401(k) savings plan for U.S. employees. All NEOs participate in the savings plan on the same terms as eligible employees. The savings plans assist and encourage employees to save by matching 100% of employee contributions up to plan limits (maximum 2.5% and 6% of base salary for Canadian employees and U.S. employees, respectively) and subject to applicable tax limits. In Canada, matching contributions are provided as flex credits which may be used to purchase additional benefits or taken as after-tax cash; in the U.S., matching contributions are invested in the savings plan.

Life and health benefits

Medical, dental, life insurance and disability insurance benefits are available to meet the specific needs of individuals and their families. The NEOs participate in the same plan as all other employees. The plans are structured to provide minimum basic coverage with the option of enhanced coverage at a level that is competitive and affordable.

The HRC Committee reviews the retirement and other benefits regularly. These benefits are a key element of a total compensation package and are designed to be competitive and reasonably meet the needs of executives in their current roles.

Assumed equity-based compensation awards from Spectra Energy

On February 27, 2017, Enbridge Inc and Spectra Energy combined through a stock-for-stock merger transaction (the “Merger Transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Enbridge assumed all awards outstanding under the Spectra Energy Corp 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Spectra 2007 LTIP”) at the closing of the Merger Transaction (“Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards”). The Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards, including the shares of Enbridge issuable thereunder, were approved by Enbridge shareholders as part of the Merger Transaction on December 15, 2016. No further awards have been or will be granted under the Spectra 2007 LTIP following the closing of the Merger Transaction.

Spectra 2007 LTIP

The Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards remain subject to and will continue to be administered by Enbridge pursuant to the terms of Spectra 2007 LTIP. The following summarizes the material provisions of the Spectra 2007 LTIP to the extent applicable to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amended and restated Spectra 2007 LTIP, which is available on Enbridge’s profile on the SEC’s website at sec.gov.

General provisions

• Number of shares. The aggregate number of Enbridge shares that may be issued pursuant to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards is 5,000,000 shares of Enbridge representing 0.25% of Enbridge’s outstanding and issued shares as at December 31, 2019.

• Reservation of Shares. When Spectra Energy first adopted the Spectra 2007 LTIP in 2007, it reserved 30,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Spectra 2007 LTIP, with an additional 10,000,000 shares and 12,500,000 shares reserved following shareholder approval on April 19, 2011 and April 26, 2016, respectively. Immediately prior to closing of the Merger Transaction, there were 19,756,580 shares of Spectra Energy common stock available for future issuance under the Spectra 2007 LTIP. However, Enbridge determined that it would not grant any additional awards under the Spectra 2007 LTIP following the closing of the Merger Transaction and as a result, assumed only those shares issuable under the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards. All future equity-based awards granted by Enbridge (including those made to legacy Spectra Energy employees) will be awarded pursuant to Enbridge’s existing plans and not the Spectra 2007 LTIP.

• Administration. Prior to the closing of the Merger Transaction, the Spectra 2007 LTIP was administered by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy, which had the authority to determine the persons to whom awards were granted, the types of awards granted, the time at which awards were to be granted, the number of shares, units or other rights subject to an award, and the terms and conditions of each award. Following the completion of the Merger Transaction, the Spectra 2007 LTIP will, solely to the extent applicable to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards, be administered by the HRC Committee consistent with the administration of Enbridge’s existing compensation programs.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 115

• Eligibility. All key employees of Spectra Energy and its subsidiaries and all non-employee directors were eligible for awards granted under the Spectra 2007 LTIP, as selected from time to time by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy in its sole discretion. As noted above, only those shares issuable under the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards were assumed by Enbridge in connection with the Merger Transaction and as a result, no additional awards will be granted by Enbridge to any individual under the Spectra 2007 LTIP.

• Awards. As described in more detail below, the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards include Spectra Energy options.

• Adjustments to awards. The HRC Committee may determine and implement appropriate adjustments to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards in the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or other similar change of control transactions.

• Term and amendment. The Spectra 2007 LTIP has a term of ten years from the date of approval by the shareholders of Spectra Energy, which was last granted on April 26, 2016, subject to earlier termination or amendment in accordance with the terms of the Spectra 2007 LTIP. Any amendment to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards or the Spectra 2007 LTIP that is implemented by the HRC Committee may not materially adversely affect the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards without consent of the holder of such award.

• Assignability. A stock option granted under the Spectra 2007 LTIP may, solely to the extent permitted by the HRC Committee, be transferred to members of the participants’ immediate family or to trusts, partnerships or corporations whose beneficiaries, members or owners are members of the participant’s immediate family or such other person as may be approved by the HRC Committee in advance and set forth in the award agreement. All other Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards are not assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Stock options

• Nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options. Spectra Energy granted options under the Spectra 2007 LTIP to purchase shares of Spectra Energy common stock (“Spectra Energy options”) to certain of its employees. As of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Transaction, there were 4,000 Spectra Energy options outstanding under the Spectra 2007 LTIP at a weighted average exercise price of US$26.33 per share

of Spectra Energy common stock and 892,163 Spectra Energy options outstanding under the Spectra 2007 LTIP at a weighted average exercise price of US$28.40 per share of Spectra Energy common stock.

• Exercise price. The exercise price of each Spectra Energy option was determined by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy at the date of grant, provided however, that the exercise price per option could not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the common stock of Spectra Energy as of the date of grant. As the exercise price of the Spectra Energy options was determined at the date of grant, the exercise price may be below the then current market price of the Enbridge shares at the time the options are exercised.

• Vesting and term of stock options. The Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy prescribed in the award agreement applicable to each Spectra Energy option the time or times at which, or the conditions upon which, such option vests or becomes exercisable. Spectra Energy options generally have a term of ten years from date of grant and during such term, once vested, the option could be exercised, unless a shorter exercise period was specified by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy in an award agreement, and subject to such limitations as may apply under an award agreement relating to the termination of a participant’s employment or other service with Spectra Energy or any of its subsidiaries.

• Treatment upon closing of the Merger Transaction. At the closing of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding Spectra Energy option, whether vested or unvested, was automatically converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the closing, the number of Enbridge shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Spectra Energy common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the closing and (ii) 0.984 (“Exchange Ratio”), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Spectra Energy common stock of such Spectra Energy option immediately prior to the closing divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The Spectra Energy options assumed by Enbridge in connection with the Merger Transaction are exercisable for 881,819 Enbridge shares at a weighted average exercise price of US$28.87 per share of Enbridge shares, vest at various dates until February 2019 and have various terms expiring on or before February 2026.

Other stock-based awards

• Other stock-based awards. In addition to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards, Spectra Energy had other equity-based or equity-related awards representing a right to acquire or receive shares of Spectra Energy common stock or payments or benefits measured by the value thereof (“Spectra Energy other awards”) outstanding under the Spectra Energy Executive Savings Plan and the Spectra Energy Directors’ Savings Plan (“Spectra Savings Plans”).

• Treatment upon closing of the Merger Transaction. At the closing of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding Spectra Energy other award was automatically converted into a right to acquire or receive benefits measured by the value of Enbridge shares, on the same terms and

conditions as were applicable to the Spectra Energy other award immediately prior to the closing. As converted, the number of Enbridge shares subject to such other award is equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Spectra Energy common stock subject to such award immediately prior to the closing and (ii) the Exchange Ratio. The Spectra Savings Plans have trust funding vehicles (commonly referred to as rabbi trusts) (“Spectra Savings Plan Trusts”). Obligations to fund the Spectra Savings Plan Trusts were triggered in connection with the Merger Transaction. For any share-settled Spectra Energy other awards, the Enbridge shares used to settle such awards will be obtained on the market by the trustee of the Spectra Savings Plan Trusts.

Appendix A – Shareholder proposals

General statement on shareholder proposals received

Enbridge received two shareholder proposals for consideration at the Meeting. The first proposal was submitted by Miss Leanne Baer, holder of 60 common shares of Enbridge, represented by Environmental Defence Canada (“Environmental Defence”). The second proposal was submitted by DI Foundation, holder of 55 common shares of Enbridge, represented by Investors for Paris Compliance (“I4PC”). Environmental Defence and I4PC are, collectively, the “Proponents”.

At Enbridge, we believe that maintaining an ongoing dialogue with our shareholders is important to our long-term business strategy. Our preferred approach is to actively engage in constructive dialogue with our investors to share our strategy, understand investor perspectives, and respond appropriately. We have engaged with both Proponents, in good faith, to better understand their requests and to share our perspectives on issues raised in their respective proposals. Unfortunately, those discussions were not productive, as the Proponents have made it clear that meaningful engagement with the Company is not their objective.

At Enbridge, our purpose is to safely and reliably deliver the energy that fuels people’s quality of life. Our strategy is underpinned by a deep understanding of energy fundamentals. Through disciplined capital allocation, informed by our outlook on energy markets, we have become an industry leader with a diversified portfolio of conventional, lower-carbon and renewable energy. Our assets have reliably generated low-risk, resilient cash flows year-after-year. Predictable growth, including with respect to our dividend, is a hallmark of our investor value proposition.

Our Board and management work together to maintain strategic alignment and to ensure we deliver on our commitments and the expectations of our stakeholders, including meeting our GHG emission reduction goals. Through our strategy, performance and transparent disclosures, Enbridge’s Board and management have a demonstrated track record of making prudent decisions in the best interests of the Company, our shareholders and our stakeholders. 

Shareholder proposals have become part of the toolkit employed by certain environmental activists to gain publicity in pursuit of their objectives. These activists acquire the

minimum position of shares in a company required to bring forward a proposal solely for the purpose of campaigning for change – and take positions that are diametrically opposed to the company’s business. They also participate in any venue available to them to oppose the company’s business – intervening in regulatory proceedings and filing complaints with regulators such as the Competition Bureau. They don’t engage with the company in any genuine way and their interests are not aligned with the vast majority of the company’s investors, because their focus is on generating publicity, not on meaningful engagement as shareholders. The proposal submitted by Environmental Defence illustrates this well.

Environmental Defence has a long history of activism against the oil and gas industry, and of directly opposing Enbridge projects and operations, as is evident from their own website¹. In the past year, in addition to submitting a shareholder proposal, they also filed a Competition Bureau complaint against Enbridge Gas Inc. (“EGI”) and intervened in regulatory proceedings to oppose the EGI application to set rates for its gas distribution system in Ontario – making the same arguments in each case. The shareholder purchased the minimum required shares shortly after Environmental Defence filed its Competition Bureau complaint, and immediately before the six-month period required under the Canada Business Corporations Act to hold shares in order to be eligible to file a proposal.

It is clear on the face of its shareholder proposal that Environmental Defence is misusing this platform to oppose Enbridge’s business and operations and to bolster its other anti-Enbridge proceedings, not to protect shareholder interests or to create shareholder value. In fact, this proposal contains defamatory and irresponsible statements that are misaligned with long-term shareholder interests altogether.

This is the third year in a row that I4PC has submitted a proposal that deals with scope 3 GHG emissions, in which their anti-oil and gas sentiment is evident. These previous proposals were defeated by a substantial majority of shareholders.

Responding to shareholder proposals from these proponents is time-consuming and distracting for boards and management, at the expense of long-term shareholder value.

For these reasons, and for the reasons set out below, the Board of Directors strongly recommends you vote AGAINST both shareholder proposals.

Proposal #1 – Report on governance systems in light of false statements and misrepresentations on climate and environmental benefits and impacts

Resolved: Shareholders request that the Board produce a report at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, examining how Enbridge’s governance systems are functioning in light of the company’s pattern of releasing statements, reports, and submissions that are false and/or misrepresent the climate and environmental benefits or impacts of its business activities.

Supporting Statement: Enbridge states that it “is committed to the principles of good governance, and the company employs a variety of policies, programs and practices to manage corporate governance and ensure compliance¹.” This commitment includes ensuring compliance with the company’s Statement on Business Conduct which includes a specific commitment to “Ensuring any presentations or proposals are truthful and do not contain inaccurate or misleading information².”

Yet Enbridge acts repeatedly in ways that contradict this commitment (sic)

With respect to its gas distribution business in Canada, the Competition bureau is investigating Enbridge’s (sic) for telling potential customers that gas is the most cost-effective way to heat their homes and suggesting that it is “clean energy” and “low carbon.”³ None of these claims are

true. Enbridge’s misleading claims run contrary to Ontario government’s research⁴ that shows heat pumps are cheaper in areas being considered for expanded gas infrastructure.

Enbridge states that Line 5 is a safe and reliable pipeline. Yet evidence shows serious safety and structural issues with the 70-year-old pipeline⁵. The financial and reputational risks from any Line 5 pipeline failure are huge considering the size of financial damages that could occur with a pipeline that runs through the Great Lakes watershed, a source of drinking water for more than 40 million people, and home to 80 per cent of North America’s surface freshwater.

Enbridge applied to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for a rate increase that would primarily pay for an expansion of Enbridge’s gas infrastructure. To justify this application at a time when natural gas has become uncompetitive for heating new homes, Enbridge was found to have relied on a faulty report that overestimated the cost benefits of natural gas vs. electrified heating by $140 billion⁶. The OEB in its final ruling found that the energy transition puts Enbridge’s expanded gas infrastructure at risk of being stranded⁷. Yet Enbridge argues that there is less risk to natural gas infrastructure because, it argues, there will be a change of government in the next Canadian election that will result in the repeal of the carbon tax charge on natural gas heating⁸. Enbridge is essentially relying on polling and campaign promises to justify rate increases and investment decisions.

Our request for a review is reasonable and proportionate as Enbridge has shown a pattern of misrepresentation that is failing to meet its own Statement on Business Conduct while creating financial and reputational risk. We urge shareholders to vote in favour of this proposal to protect Enbridge’s reputation and economic interests.

The Board of Directors recommends voting AGAINST proposal #1 for the following reasons:

As members of the Board, we have a fiduciary responsibility to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, and it is our role to oversee the Company’s strategy and management’s approach to implementation. The proposal ignores this relationship. It appears to be an effort by an advocacy organization to gain publicity through accusations and to harm the Company’s reputation in the process.

It is difficult to conceive how Enbridge would go about producing the report requested in the proposal – and when we engaged with the proponent to enquire exactly what they are seeking with the resolution, they could not articulate this either. The fact is: the resolution and supporting statement make numerous false and misleading allegations against Enbridge and rely on external “sources” that are themselves not based in fact.

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 121

This proposal is incendiary, accusatory and is clearly not in the best interests of shareholders. On the face of the proposal and its supporting statement, it is clear that Environmental Defence is using the shareholder proposal process to support their anti-Enbridge positions before the Competition Bureau and the OEB.

Enbridge stands by our commitment to good governance, as outlined in our Statement on Business Conduct and discussed throughout this Circular. There is nothing in the proposal that credibly puts our governance practices into question, and we would like to take the opportunity to address each point raised.

It is accurate that the Competition Bureau has commenced an inquiry regarding allegations against EGI for its statements about natural gas. However, what the proponent fails to mention is that the inquiry was triggered by Environmental Defence filing a complaint with the Competition Bureau, thereby compelling an inquiry by the Bureau to determine the facts and whether the allegations have any merit. We believe the complaint has no merit, and EGI intends to fully cooperate in this process.

Regarding Line 5, Environmental Defence makes a number of false allegations about the safety of the pipeline, citing a single post on the website of another environmental activist organization. This source does not constitute “evidence” and is not based in fact.

In reality, the Line 5 Straits of Mackinac (“Straits”) crossing remains in excellent condition and has never experienced a release in more than 70 years of operation. The Straits crossing features a durable enamel coating and pipe walls that are three times thicker than those of a typical pipeline. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency and its third-party contractor have closely monitored the Straits crossing for the last seven years.

The Straits crossing is also regulated by Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) On several occasions in recent years, PHMSA hired a well-respected US National Laboratory, who engaged a well-known pipeline integrity expert, to review the safety of the Straits crossing. This expert analyzed a considerable volume of data generated by sophisticated in-line inspection tools operated by Enbridge to assess the safety of the Straits crossing. In 2016, 2019, and 2020, he produced written reports that confirm that no integrity issues exist. These reports are matters of public record. PHMSA has also completed safety audits in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and performed an extensive review of Enbridge’s safety records. While PHMSA does not produce public reports following such audits, Enbridge has not been

advised of any safety issues or concerns with Enbridge’s operation and safety management of the Straits crossing.

In addition, since 2018, Enbridge additionally has invested nearly $50 million to establish the Enbridge Straits Maritime Operations Center (“ESMOC”). The privately funded and staffed ESMOC is operated 24/7 by a team continuously monitoring and coordinating the numerous safety measures Enbridge has put in place to ensure no vessels pose a risk of anchor strike to the Straits crossing.

On December 1, 2023, the Michigan Public Service Commission (“MPSC”) approved Enbridge’s application to locate a replacement segment of Line 5 at the Straits into the Great Lakes Tunnel. In its decision, the MPSC noted that the project virtually eliminates the risk of anchor strikes confronting the dual pipelines and found that the tunnel will serve as a secondary containment vessel to prevent Line 5 product from reaching the Straits in the event of a pipeline leak. See the MPSC news release at https://www.michigan.gov/mpsc/commission/news-releases/
2023/12/01/mpsc-approves-siting-permit-for-enbridge-to-relocate-line-5. For more information about Line 5, including operational and project details and safety precautions in place, see our Line 5 Newsroom at https://www.enbridge.com/projects-and-infrastructure/public-
awareness/line-5-newsroom.

Finally, Environmental Defence comments on Enbridge’s application to the OEB regarding natural gas rates. Again, it relies on two articles in a biased media source, one of which outlines conflicting opinions about a report placed in evidence during the proceedings, and the other of which summarizes Environmental Defence’s own participation in the OEB proceedings together with its views about Enbridge and the application. Environmental Defence provides no credible basis for its allegations of false statements or misrepresentations.

To provide the full context of Environmental Defence’s allegation that Enbridge relied on a “faulty report”, this relates to the Guidehouse “Pathways to Net-Zero” report. After Guidehouse updated its report, EGI filed the updated report with the OEB as part of the record. The updated report continued to conclude that net-zero pathways that focus on a diversified approach with natural gas and gas infrastructure is the best approach to deliver a reliable and resilient energy system with continued consumer choice and business competitiveness, at a lower cost.

Based on the incendiary language of this proposal, its misrepresentation of facts, and its clear anti-Enbridge and anti-industry sentiment, we strongly urge shareholders to vote against proposal #1.

Proposal #2 – Annual disclosure of all material scope 3 emissions

Resolved: Shareholders request that Enbridge annually disclose all of its material scope 3 emissions using accepted definitions and in absolute terms.

Supporting Statement: Enbridge’s current scope 3 emissions disclosure methodology runs counter to guidance by the CDP,¹ the GHG Protocol,² and investor-led Climate Engagement Canada,³ leading to a large under-reporting of scope 3 emissions and by extension its transition risk.

Enbridge’s scope 3 reporting is incomplete because excludes downstream emissions for use of goods and services, so called “category 11 emissions,” from its midstream business. While Enbridge reports some category 11 emissions from its gas utility business, it does not report the category 11 emissions associated with midstream business services — transportation and storage of oil and gas.

These emissions are material to Enbridge because its business model relies on their release, and their exclusion therefore obscures risks associated with these emissions. m. (sic)

Moreover, as Enbridge expands its infrastructure such as gas pipelines or LNG terminals, the trend line for these scope 3 emissions is not properly measured and assessed for risk.

Enbridge claims either existing reporting methodological uncertainty, incomplete data, or double counting as reasons to not fully report its scope 3 emissions. Yet, the guidance is clear that Enbridge should report the material emissions from category 11 and other energy companies have overcome these challenges to report relevant scope 3 emissions.⁴

In 2020 Enbridge made a commitment “to expand the scope of our public disclosure of scope 3 emissions within the next 2-3 years.”⁵ This resolution presents an opportunity for investors to ensure Enbridge fulfills this commitment.

This is the second year this proposal has been submitted. Last year 24.4% voted in favour, with another 4% abstaining, for a total of 28.4% breaking with management.⁶ Despite this relatively high vote by Enbridge investors, the company is yet to improve its approach to the issue.

We respectfully request that shareholders vote for this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends voting AGAINST proposal #2 for the following reasons:

Our commitment to sustainability underpins our long-term vision—to be the first choice for energy delivery in North America and beyond. We are proud of our ESG practices and performance and continue to be recognized as a leader among our peers. In 2020, we were the first in Canada’s energy midstream sector to establish scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reduction targets remain committed to providing transparent disclosure of our progress against these goals in our annual Sustainability Report and ESG datasheet.

When it comes to disclosure of scope 3 emissions, Enbridge continues to be an industry leader. We are rated first among peers by CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), maintaining our overall rating of A-minus for climate change disclosure and performance for the fourth straight year. Given the proponent’s reference to CDP, it’s also notable that Enbridge’s CDP category score for scope 3 emissions (including verification) is also sector leading at A-, compared to the oil and gas transportation group average score of D. For more information about recognition, including ESG ratings and rankings, see the Executive Summary at page 3 and our website (enbridge.com).

Enbridge Inc. 2024 Management Information Circular 123

Despite limited guidance defining scope 3 parameters for the midstream sector, Enbridge has tracked and reported on scope 3 emissions since 2009 and we continue to enhance our approach year-after-year. We report on scope 3 emissions that we can confidently track, record, and calculate. For the past several years, this has included our utility customer natural gas consumption (category 11) employee business air travel (category 6) and electricity grid loss (category 3).

But we are not standing still – we seek to continually improve our sustainability reporting by listening to our shareholders and responding to their feedback. In 2021, we added two new scope 3 metrics – one regarding the emissions intensity of the energy we deliver, and the other regarding our contribution to the avoidance of third-party emissions, through our investment in renewables, lower-carbon fuels, and conservation programs. In 2022, we committed to working with our key suppliers to support the further reduction of scope 3 emissions. In 2023, we expanded our methane reporting in our Sustainability Report and published a stand-alone Climate Lobbying report.

This year, we are expanding the number of scope 3 category emissions against which we report and are also providing increased transparency on our assessment of all 15 categories of scope 3 emissions. See “Enhancing Sustainability and ESG reporting” on page 10, where we describe the applicability of each category to our business, outline our plans for reporting in each category and describe our ongoing efforts to enhance data availability and quality over time.

On category 11 (use of sold products) Enbridge discloses all downstream emissions from our utility business (gas purchased for and used by our customers). Notably, we also disclose – and have for many years – the avoided GHG emissions in our utility business from robust demand-side management programs. Since 1996, approximately 60 million tonnes of GHG emissions have been avoided through these programs.

The proposal requests that Enbridge also report category 11 emissions associated with our midstream transportation business. This is problematic because our Liquids Pipelines and Gas Transmission & Midstream businesses are providing a transportation service, not selling a product.

There remain significant challenges reporting on downstream emissions for the midstream sector, as it would require the tracking of products – not owned or sold by Enbridge—that move on and off our system. We are currently unable to accurately and reliably track and measure this information.

Most importantly, there have been no clear regulatory guidelines or widely accepted methodologies developed to report on downstream emissions. We continue to provide input to organizations developing guidance for category 11 reporting for the oil and gas industry broadly and ultimately the midstream sector specifically, including serving on a technical advisory group to the Science Based Targets Initiative (“SBTi”) among other forums and frameworks.

We also continue to monitor and prepare for climate-related disclosure rules in Canada and the U.S. and note that the final rules adopted by the SEC on March 6, 2024 specifically exclude scope 3 emissions, due to concerns about the unreliability and robustness of scope 3 emissions data at this time. We will proceed with further enhancements to our scope 3 reporting where accepted definitions for our business exist and decision-useful data is available.

We strive to provide our investors with transparent, decision-useful climate-related information about our Company and its strategy, assets, operations. However, emissions are just one element of the total mix of information that investors look for to make prudent and informed investment decisions, and we do not believe that any scope 3 emissions are material to Enbridge. Therefore, the resolution’s reference to “material scope 3 emissions” is unusual and misleading.

For more information on our view of the Company’s climate-related risks, as well as Board oversight of those risks, see “Oversight of risk” on page 44, as well as our 2023 Annual Report and ESG Datasheet, available on our website (enbridge.com).

The proponent’s request to disclose what is currently impossible to reliably provide carries significantly more risks and costs than benefit to our shareholders and to our Company.

With the best interests of the Company and its shareholders in mind, given the complexity and uncertainty in reporting on all scope 3 emissions we strongly urge shareholders to vote against proposal #2.

Appendix B – Terms of Reference for the Board

I. Introduction

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Enbridge Inc. (the “Corporation”) oversees the management of, and provides stewardship over, the Corporation’s affairs. The Board’s primary goal is to act in the best interests of the Corporation to enhance long-term shareholder value while considering the interests of the Corporation’s shareholders and various other stakeholders. The Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) provides that every director and officer shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

These Terms of Reference are intended not to limit the powers of the Board but to assist the Board in the exercise of its powers and the fulfillment of its duties. These Terms of Reference operate in conjunction with the Corporate Governance Principles and Guidelines and the respective Terms of Reference for each of the Board’s committees, the Chair of the Board and the President & Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

II. Board of directors

The organization of the Board and its authority and procedures are subject to the CBCA and the Corporation’s articles and by-laws. The Corporation is also subject to other applicable law and stock exchange requirements.

Each Board committee shall convene at such times and places designated by its chair or whenever a meeting is requested by a committee member, the Board or an officer of the Corporation (or in the case of the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee, by the internal auditor or external auditor).

In the absence of the chair of the committee, the committee members may

choose one (1) of the members to be the chair of the meeting. Where appropriate, members of the committee may meet separately with the Corporation’s senior management. Minutes shall be kept of all meetings of the Board’s committees.

Directors are expected to adequately prepare for, attend and participate at Board and Board committee meetings of which they are a member, become familiar with deliberations and decisions after any missed meetings and attend the annual meeting of shareholders. Directors should at all times discharge their responsibilities with the highest standards of ethical conduct and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and the Corporation’s values of safety, integrity, respect, inclusion and high performance. The Board has implemented a comprehensive Statement on Business Conduct applicable to all employees, contractors and Directors of the Corporation.

The Board operates by delegating certain of its authorities to management and by reserving certain powers to the Board and its committees. The Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Corporation and for monitoring the actions of, and providing overall guidance and direction to, management.

Appendix C – Advisories

Non-GAAP and other financial measures

This Circular contains references to non-GAAP and other financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, DCF and DCF per common share. Management believes the presentation of these metrics gives useful information to investors and shareholders as they provide increased transparency and insight into the performance of the Company.

Our non-GAAP measures described above are not measures that have standardized meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are not U.S. GAAP measures. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP and other financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available on the Company’s website. Additional information on non-GAAP and other financial measures may be found in the Company’s earnings news releases or in additional information on the Company’s website (enbridge.com), sedarplus.ca or sec.gov.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors on both a consolidated and segmented basis. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to set targets and to assess the performance of the Company and its business units.

Distributable cash flow

DCF and DCF per common share are measures used for purposes of Enbridge’s executive compensation programs. The following table presents the reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to DCF. DCF is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities (including changes in environmental liabilities) less distributions to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests, preference share dividends and maintenance capital expenditures, and further adjusted for unusual, non-recurring or non-operating factors. Management also uses DCF to assess the performance of the Company and to set its dividend payout target. DCF for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been converted to DCF per share by taking DCF of $11,267 million and dividing by 2,056 million, the weighted average number of Enbridge shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023. For purposes of the 2023 STIP award determinations as described on page 84, DCF was converted to DCF per share by taking DCF of $11,472 million and dividing by 2,056 million, the weighted average number of Enbridge shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023. For purposes of 2020 PSU payout determinations as described on page 92, DCF was converted to DCF per share by taking DCF of $11,514 million and dividing by 2,056 million, the weighted average number of Enbridge shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

¹ Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of recoveries.

² Maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures that are required for the ongoing support and maintenance of the existing pipeline system or that are necessary to maintain the service capability of the existing assets (including the replacement of components that are worn, obsolete or completing their useful lives). For the purpose of DCF, maintenance capital excludes expenditures that extend asset useful lives, increase capacities from existing levels or reduce costs to enhance revenues or provide enhancements to the service capability of the existing assets. Maintenance capital also excludes emissions reduction projects and large-scale asset modernization programs that facilitate high operational reliability.

³ Consists of cash received net of revenue recognized, for contracts under make-up rights and similar deferred revenue arrangements.

⁴ Presented net of adjusting items.

Forward-looking information

Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this Management Information Circular to provide information about us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, including management’s assessment of our and our subsidiaries’ future plans and operations. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as ‘‘anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “intend”, “likely”, “plan”, “project”, “target” and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or statements included in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following: the business of and procedure for the annual meeting of shareholders and solicitation of proxies; our approach to executive and director compensation, including expected performance of and estimated payments and benefits to executives and directors; our beliefs respecting the benefits of building and maintaining relationships with Indigenous communities, shareholders and other stakeholders; our corporate vision and strategy, including strategic priorities and enablers; expected supply of, demand for, exports of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and renewable energy; energy transition and lower-carbon energy, and our approach thereto; environmental, social and

governance (ESG) goals, practices and performance, including with respect to diversity and inclusion and GHG emissions reduction; our future plans regarding the disclosure of scope 3 GHG emissions; anticipated utilization of our assets; expected earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), distributable cash flow (DCF) and DCF per share and expected growth thereof; dividend growth and payout policy; expected performance of the Company’s businesses; financial strength and flexibility; the acquisitions of three U.S. gas utilities from Dominion Energy Inc. (the Acquisitions), including the anticipated benefits, expected funding and use of proceeds and expected timing of closing and integration thereof; expected in-service dates and costs related to announced projects and projects under construction; capital allocation framework and priorities; expected future growth, development and expansion opportunities; and expected optimization and efficiency opportunities;.

Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions about the following: the expected supply of, demand for, export of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of our assets; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; availability and price of labor and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; operational reliability; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects and transactions; anticipated in-service dates; weather; the timing, terms and closing of acquisitions and dispositions, including the Acquisitions; the realization of anticipated benefits of transactions, including the Acquisitions; governmental legislation; litigation; credit ratings; hedging program; expected EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; expected future cash flows; expected future DCF and DCF per share; financial strength and flexibility; debt and equity market conditions; and general economic and competitive conditions. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy, and the prices of these commodities, are material to and underlie all forward-looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for our services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which we operate and may impact levels of demand for our services and cost of inputs and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the successful execution of our strategic priorities, operating performance; legislative and regulatory parameters; litigation; acquisitions (including the Acquisitions) and dispositions and other transactions and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom; operational dependence on third parties; dividend policy; project approval and support; renewals of rights-of-way; weather; economic and competitive conditions; public opinion; changes in tax laws and tax rates; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; commodity prices; access to and cost of capital; political decisions; global geopolitical conditions; the supply of, demand for and prices of commodities and other alternative energy, including but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties discussed in this Management Information Circular, our 2023 annual report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. The impact of any one assumption, risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and our future course of action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this Management Information Circular or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
