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. As indicated on page 32, NEO base salaries were reinstated in 2021. |

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 Marsh for services provided to our operating affiliates subject to timing and currency exchange differences. |
• |
a pay-for-performance |
• |
a mix of pay programs benchmarked against a relevant peer group in terms of both relative proportion and prevalence; |
• |
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; |
• |
compensation programs that include a combination of short-, medium- and long-term elements that ensure executives are provided with 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 safety and operational reliability, financial performance, diversity and inclusion, reducing GHG emissions, and execute and extend growth metrics that ensure a balanced perspective and are a mix of both leading (proactive/preventative) and lagging (incident-based) indicators; |
• |
performance thresholds that include both minimum and maximum payouts; |
• |
stock award programs that vest over multiple years and are aligned with overall corporate performance that drives superior value to Enbridge shareholders; |
• |
share ownership guidelines that ensure executives have a meaningful equity stake in Enbridge to align their interests with those of Enbridge shareholders; |
• |
an anti-hedging policy to prevent activities that would weaken the intended pay-for-performance |
• |
an incentive compensation clawback policy that allows Enbridge to recoup overpayments made to executives in the event of fraudulent or willful misconduct. |
• |
any form of hedging activity; |
• |
any form of transaction involving stock options (other than exercising options in accordance with the incentive plans); |
• |
any other form of derivative trading (including “puts” and “calls”); and |
• |
“short-selling” (selling securities that the individual does not own). |
• |
The responsibilities of Enbridge’s President & CEO and other NEOs are primarily North American in scope. |
• |
We compete for top talent in North America and globally. |
• |
Our business assets and operations are North American. |
• |
Our shareholders include both U.S. and international institutions. |
• |
Various compensation peers also include Enbridge in their own compensation peer group. |
• |
Industry (typically defined as low-risk regulated operations in the North American energy sector) remains a key criterion for identifying peers, as that will help to ensure Enbridge can pay competitively against “best-in-class” |
• |
Size/complexity remains important but is more broadly defined to consider multiple dimensions, including financial (e.g., market capitalization, cash flow, capital employed) and nonfinancial measures (e.g., geography and breadth of operations). |
• |
Geography is a factor in determining an accurate representation of our peer group. The majority of our peers belong in the U.S. energy sector and are larger, highly comparable peers. 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. |

Reason for termination |
Incentive stock option provisions 1 |
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). Conditions for performance stock options are mentioned below. |
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. Performance stock option plan: For a change of control, options vest on a date determined by the HRC Committee before the change of control. |
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 US ISOs beginning with the 2018 grant are issued as non-qualified. |
• |
for retirement, performance stock options are prorated for the period of active employment in the five-year period starting January 1 of the year of grant. These options can be exercised until the later of three years after retirement, or 30 days after the date by which the share price targets must be met (or the date the option expires, if earlier), as long as the share price targets are met; |
• |
for death, unvested performance stock options are prorated and the plan assumes performance requirements have been met; |
• |
for involuntary termination not-for-cause, |
• |
for change of control, the plan assumes the performance requirements have been met and the plan was not amended in 2018 to implement a double trigger change of control as there are currently no plans to grant further awards under the plan. |
• |
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. |
• |
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. |
• |
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. 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. |
