Board of Directors 

In keeping with contemporary practices in good corporate governance, immediately following the completion of the initial public offering, Capital Power will have a board of 12 directors, nine of whom will be independent for the purposes of National Instrument 58-101. The Board of Directors operates under a formal Terms of Reference document, which was included as an appendix to the final prospectus.

To ensure the alignment of interests with shareholders, the directors and named executive officers are subject to share ownership guidelines as indicated in the final prospectus.

Committees of the Board include the Audit Committee and Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating (CGCN) Committee – both of which will be composed of a majority of independent directors and have written mandates – as well as the Environmental, Health and Safety Committee and Keephills 3 Oversight Committee.
