Certifications and Disclosure Regarding Controls and Procedures.

(a)

 

Certifications regarding controls and procedures. See Exhibits 99.5 and 99.6.

(b)

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of December 31,

2023

, an evaluation of the

effectiveness of the Registrant’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-

15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange

Act”)), was carried out by the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer

(“CFO”). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of such date the Registrant’s

disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide a reasonable level of assurance that information

required to be disclosed by the Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is

recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States

Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”) rules and forms.

It should be noted that while the CEO and CFO believe that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and

procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect the disclosure

controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting to be capable of preventing all errors

and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not

absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

(c)

 

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Registrant's management is

responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The

Registrant's internal control framework is based on the criteria published in the Internal Control –

Integrated Framework (2013), a report issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of

the Treadway Commission. The Registrant's management, including the CEO and CFO, evaluated the

design and effectiveness of the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting as at December 31,

2023 and concluded that the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting is effective as at

December 31,

2023

.

(d)

 

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.

 

This annual report does not include an

attestation report of the Registrant’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over

financial reporting.

 

(e)

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal

control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31,

2023

, that have materially

affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial

reporting.

Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The Registrant’s board of directors (the “Board”) has determined that five

audit committee financial experts serve on its Audit Committee. The audit committee financial experts are Paula Y.

Gold-Williams, Kent M. Harvey, B. Lynn

 

Loewen, Ian E. Robertson, and Andrea S. Rosen. The Board has

determined that Paula Y.

 

Gold-Williams, Kent M. Harvey, B. Lynn

 

Loewen, Ian E. Robertson, and Andrea S. Rosen

are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Information

concerning the relevant experience of Paula Y.

 

Gold-Williams, Kent M. Harvey, B. Lynn

 

Loewen, Ian E. Robertson,

and Andrea S. Rosen is included in their biographical information contained in the Registrant’s Annual Information

Form for the fiscal year ended December 31,

2023

, filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto (the “Annual Information Form”).

The Commission has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make

such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on such person that are greater

than those imposed on members of the audit committee and board of directors who do not carry this designation, or

affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

Code of Ethics.

 

The Emera Code of Conduct was revised and became effective on October 1,

2023

 

(the “Code”) and

applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Registrant, including the CEO and CFO. Since the adoption of

the Code, there have not been any waivers, including implied waivers, from any provision of the Code. A copy of

the Code can be found on Emera’s internet website at the following address: https://www.emera.com/about-us/who-

we-are/code-of-conduct.

 

 

 

 

The Code was furnished to the Commission on November 24, 2023 as Exhibit 99.1 to a report on Form 6-K and is

incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.9.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The information provided under the headings “Audit Committee—Audit

and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Process” and “Audit Committee—Auditors’ Fees” contained in the

Registrant’s Annual Information Form. The Registrant’s Audit Committee approved all of the Audit-Related and

Tax services provided by Ernst & Young

 

LLP in

2023

 

and none were approved pursuant to the de minimis exception

provided by Section (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

In connection with the Commission’s adoption of amendments to finalize the implementation of disclosure and

submission requirements on December 2, 2021, pursuant to Release No. 34-93701, the Registrant hereby affirms

that

 

Ernst & Young LLP (PCAOB ID:

1263

) delivered an audit opinion relating to the Registrant’s Financial

Statements (as defined below) contained in the Annual Information Form, and such audit opinion was issued in

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Obligations” contained in the Registrant’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated

February 26, 2024

Identification of the Audit Committee.

 

The information provided under the heading “Audit Committee” contained

in the Annual Information Form is incorporated by reference herein.

Mine Safety Disclosure.

 

Neither the Registrant nor any of its subsidiaries is the “operator” of any “coal or other

mine”, as those terms are defined in section 3 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 802),

that is subject to the provisions of such Act (30 U.S.C. 801 et seq.). Therefore, the provisions of Section 1503(a) of

the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 16 of General Instruction B to Form 40-

F requiring disclosure concerning mine safety violations and other regulatory matters do not apply to the

 

Registrant

or any of its subsidiaries.
