Brookfield Renewable Corporation Shareholders Approve Proposed Corporate Simplification

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (“BEP”) (NYSE: BEP; TSX: BEP.UN) and Brookfield Renewable Corporation (“BEPC”) (TSX, NYSE: BEPC) today announced that BEPC shareholders voted in favour of the resolution approving the proposed corporate structure simplification (the “Simplification”) at a special meeting held virtually earlier today (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”). asserted

Brookfield Renewable also reminds BEP unitholders that the special meeting of unitholders of BEP (the “Unitholders’ Meeting”) will be held on October 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. asserted

Reminder to BEP Unitholders to Vote BEP unitholders who have not yet voted are encouraged to vote their units today. asserted

The Board of Directors of BEP, based in part on the unanimous recommendation of its nominating and governance committee (consisting entirely of independent directors) and the fairness opinion received from Scotiabank, unanimously determined that the Simplification is in the best interests of BEP, and have unanimously resolved to approve the Simplification and recommend that BEP unitholders vote in favour of the Simplification. asserted

ISS and Glass Lewis have each recommended that BEP unitholders vote FOR the Simplification. asserted

Brookfield Renewable expects the Simplification to be tax-deferred for Canadian and U.S. investors and completed without any meaningful cost to the business, while providing securityholders with the following benefits, among others: - Improved consolidated trading liquidity through a single listed security; - Increased demand from current indices and potential additional index inclusion; - Stronger alignment with long-term capital allocation trends toward indexable and ETF-eligible corporate securities; - Simplified investor analysis, screening, and benchmarking through a single listed reporting entity; - Broader access to a larger pool of investors who prefer corporate structures; - Enhanced governance framework and voting rights for public securityholders; and - For BEP unitholders, elimination of onerous partnership tax reporting forms and preferential dividend tax rates for many Canadian and U.S. taxable investors. Additional information is also available on our website at https://bep.brookfield.com under “Proposed Simplification”. As previously announced on October 9, 2026, the Unitholders’ Meeting was rescheduled to October 29, 2026 in order to allow additional time for BEP unitholders to submit their votes. asserted

The Unitholders’ Meeting will be held virtually on October 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. asserted

The record date for determining unitholders eligible to vote at the Unitholders’ Meeting remains August 21, 2026, and the deadline for registered unitholders to cast their votes by proxy is 5:00 p.m. EDT on October 27, 2026. asserted

Unitholders who have already submitted a proxy do not need to vote again. asserted

At the Shareholders’ Meeting, BEPC shareholders were asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass a special resolution approving the plan of arrangement by which the Simplification will be implemented (the “BEPC Transaction Resolution”). asserted

The BEPC Transaction Resolution required the affirmative vote of (i) not less than two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast at the Shareholders’ Meeting by holders of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BEPC (“BEPC exchangeable shares”) and holders of class B multiple voting shares of BEPC (“BEPC class B shares”), voting together, and (ii) not less than two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast at the Shareholders’ Meeting by holders of BEPC exchangeable shares, voting separately as a class. Approximately 66% of the issued and outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares as of the record date of August 21, 2026 were represented in person or by proxy at the Shareholders’ Meeting, and approximately 70% of the votes cast by holders of BEPC exchangeable shares were voted in favour of the BEPC Transaction Resolution. asserted

All of the votes cast by holders of the BEPC class B shares were voted in favour of the Simplification. asserted

Accordingly, all shareholder approvals required to implement the Simplification in respect of BEPC have been obtained. asserted

BEPC’s full report of voting results in respect of the Shareholders’ Meeting has been filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and will be available under BEPC’s profile on SEDAR+ at https://sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at https://sec.gov. asserted

For additional information on the Simplification, please see the joint management information circular filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available on SEDAR+ at https://sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at https://sec.gov. asserted

Unitholders are urged to read the circular carefully. asserted

If the necessary securityholder approvals are obtained, the hearing to obtain the final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Simplification is expected to be held on or about November 3, 2026. asserted

Subject to the receipt of the final order, it is anticipated that the Simplification will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026. asserted

Please note that BEP has applied for and received exemptive relief from the Ontario Securities Commission in order to not require further approval by the holders of class A shares of BEP Inc. (“BEP Inc. Class A Shares”) for any future distributions of BEP Inc. Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, BEP Inc. Class A Shares under a prospectus, conditional upon obtaining the required securityholder approvals described in the joint management information circular. asserted

Accordingly, (i) in respect of BEPC, a vote in favour of the Simplification by BEPC shareholders constituted a vote in favour of BEP Inc.’s ability to conduct future issuances of BEP Inc. Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, BEP Inc. Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, and (ii) in respect of BEP, a vote in favour of the Simplification by BEP unitholders will constitute a vote in favour of BEP Inc.’s ability to conduct future issuances of BEP Inc. Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, BEP Inc. Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, in each case, without requiring further approval by holders of BEP Inc. Class A Shares in accordance with National Instrument 41-101 – General Prospectus Requirements. asserted
