SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF TENDERING SHARES UNDER THE OFFER. SEE SECTION 14, "CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS" AND SECTION 15, "UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS" OF THE CIRCULAR.

Subject to and effective upon acceptance for purchase of the Shares tendered or deemed to have been tendered hereby in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Atlantic Power all rights, title and interest in and to all Shares tendered or deemed to have been tendered hereby pursuant to an Auction Tender or a Purchase Price Tender, and in and to any and all rights, benefits and claims in respect thereof or arising, or having arisen as a result of the undersigned's status as a Shareholder of Atlantic Power and in and to any and all distributions, payments, securities, rights, assets or other interests which may be declared, paid, issued, distributed, made or transferred, or may be payable, issuable, distributable or transferable, on or in respect of such Shares or any of them on or after the date upon which the Shares are taken up and paid for under the Offer (the "Effective Time"), other than any dividends declared with a record date prior to the Effective Time and paid after the Effective Time, and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints any officer of Atlantic Power as attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Shares effective from the Effective Time, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to:

(a): deliver certificates for such Shares, together with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of Atlantic Power upon receipt by the Depositary, as the undersigned's agent, of the Purchase Price (as defined below);
(b): present certificates for such Shares for cancellation and transfer on the register for the Shares; and
(c): receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares, subject to the next paragraph, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that:

(a): the undersigned understands that tendering Shares under any one of the procedures described in the Offer and the Instructions hereto will constitute the undersigned's acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer;
(b): the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the deposited Shares and any and all dividends, distributions, payments, securities, rights, assets or other interests which may be declared, paid, issued, distributed, made or transferred on or in respect of the deposited Shares with a record date on or after the date that Atlantic Power takes up and accepts for purchase the deposited Shares, and that when and to the extent Atlantic Power accepts the Shares for payment, Atlantic Power will acquire good, marketable, and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, security interests, claims, restrictions and equities whatsoever, together with all rights and benefits arising therefrom, and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim, provided that any dividends or distributions which may be declared, paid, issued, distributed, made or

transferred on or in respect of such Shares to Shareholders of record on or prior to the Effective Time shall be for the account of the undersigned;

(c): on request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents that the Depositary or Atlantic Power deems necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer, and purchase of the Shares tendered hereby; and
(d): the undersigned has received and agrees to all of the terms of the Offer.

The names and addresses of the registered owners should be printed, if they are not already printed above, as they appear on the certificates representing Shares tendered hereby. The certificates, the number of Shares that the undersigned wishes to tender, and pursuant to the Auction Tender, the purchase price at which such Shares are being tendered, should all be indicated in the appropriate boxes.

The undersigned understands that he or she must indicate whether the Shares are being tendered pursuant to an Auction Tender or a Purchase Price Tender by completing Box A—"Type of Tender". All Shares tendered by a Shareholder and which have not been properly withdrawn, and where there is a failure to specify any Auction Tender price for the Shares or failure to indicate that he or she has tendered his or her Shares pursuant to the Auction Tender or Purchase Price Tender will be considered to have been tendered pursuant to the Purchase Price Tender.

The undersigned understands that Atlantic Power will determine a single price per Share (not less than US$1.95 and not more than US$2.20 per Share) (the "Purchase Price") that it will pay for Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, based on the Auction Prices and the numbers of Shares specified in valid Auction Tenders and Purchase Price Tenders. The undersigned understands that the Purchase Price will be the lowest price that enables Atlantic Power to purchase the maximum number of Shares properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer having an aggregate purchase price not exceeding US$25,000,000. Shares tendered pursuant to an Auction Tender will not be purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer if the price specified by the Shareholder is greater than the Purchase Price. A Shareholder who wishes to tender Shares but who does not wish to specify a price at which such Shares may be purchased by the Company should make a Purchase Price Tender. Shareholders who properly tender Shares without making a valid Auction Tender or Purchase Price Tender will be deemed to have made a Purchase Price Tender.

If the aggregate Purchase Price for Shares validly deposited and not withdrawn pursuant to Auction Tenders at Auction Prices equal to or less than the Purchase Price and pursuant to Purchase Price Tenders would result in an aggregate Purchase Price in excess of US$25,000,000, then such deposited Shares will be purchased as follows: (i) first, the Company will purchase all Shares tendered at or below the Purchase Price by Shareholders who own fewer than 100 Shares (the "Odd Lot Holders") at the Purchase Price; and (ii) second, the Company will purchase additional deposited Shares at the Purchase Price on a pro rata basis according to the number of Shares deposited or deemed to be deposited at a price equal to or less than the Purchase Price by the depositing Shareholders, for an aggregate purchase price of US$25,000,000 less the aggregate purchase price of the Shares purchased from Odd Lot Holders. All Auction Tenders and Purchase Price Tenders will be subject to adjustment to avoid the purchase of fractional shares (with fractions rounded down to the nearest whole Share).

Certificates for all Shares not purchased will be returned (in the case of certificates representing Shares all of which are not purchased), or replaced with new certificates/DRS advice representing the balance of Shares not purchased (in the case of certificates representing Shares of which less than all are purchased), promptly after the Expiration Date or termination of the Offer without expense to the tendering Shareholder.

The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, Atlantic Power may terminate or amend the Offer or may not be required to purchase any of the Shares tendered hereby or may accept for payment, in accordance with the applicable proration provisions relating to Shares tendered, fewer than all of the Shares tendered hereby. The undersigned understands that certificate(s) for any Shares not tendered or not purchased will be returned to the undersigned at the address indicated below. The undersigned recognizes that Atlantic Power has no obligation to transfer any certificates for Shares from the name of their registered owner.

The undersigned understands that acceptance of Shares by Atlantic Power for payment will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Atlantic Power, effective as of the Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

The undersigned understands that payment for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made by depositing the aggregate Purchase Price for such Shares with the Depositary, which will act as agent for the tendering Shareholders for the purpose of receiving payment from Atlantic Power and transmitting such payment to the tendering Shareholders. Receipt of payment by the Depositary will be deemed to constitute receipt of payment thereof by persons tendering Shares. Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by Atlantic Power or the Depositary, regardless of any delay in making such payment or otherwise.

The undersigned instructs Atlantic Power and the Depositary to issue the cheque, payable in U.S. funds, for the Purchase Price for such of the tendered Shares as are purchased as indicated in Box E "Payment Instructions" mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the address indicated in Box F "Delivery Instructions" unless otherwise indicated in Box G "Hold for Pick-Up", or to send via wire transfer, payable in U.S. funds, for the Purchase Price for such of the tendered Shares as are purchased, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided in Box I "Wire Transfer Instructions".

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer, this tender is irrevocable.

If a certificate representing Shares has been lost, stolen or destroyed, this Letter of Transmittal, including Box N "Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates" and Box O "Lost Certificates", if applicable, should be completed as fully as possible and forwarded to the Depositary, together with a letter describing the loss, theft or destruction and providing a telephone number. The Depositary will respond with the replacement requirements, which includes certain additional documents that must be signed in order to obtain replacement certificate(s) and the payment of the required lost certificate fee.

The undersigned agrees not to vote any of the tendered Shares taken up and paid for under the Offer, or distributions on such Shares consisting of securities, at any meeting and not to exercise any of the other rights or privileges attaching to any of such tendered Shares or distributions consisting of securities, or otherwise act with respect thereto. The undersigned agrees further to execute and deliver to Atlantic Power, provided not contrary to any applicable law, at any time and from time to time, as and when requested by, and at the expense of Atlantic Power, any and all instructions of proxy, authorization or consent, in form and on terms satisfactory to Atlantic Power, in respect of any such tendered Shares or distributions consisting of securities. The undersigned agrees further to designate in any such instruments of proxy the person or persons specified by Atlantic Power as the proxy holder of the undersigned in respect of such tendered Shares or distributions consisting of securities.

By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language form of Letter of Transmittal, the parties shall be deemed to have required that any contract evidenced by the Offer as accepted through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. En raison de l'usage d'une lettre d 'envoi en langue anglaise par le soussigné, les parties sont présumées avoir requis que tout contrat atteste par l'offre et son acceptation par cette d'envoi, de même que tous les documents qui s'y rapportent, soient rédigés exclusivement en langue anglaise.

1.: Guarantee of Signatures.

No signature guarantee is required if:

(a): this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the Shares exactly as the name of the registered holder appears on the Share certificate deposited with this Letter of Transmittal and payment and delivery are to be made directly to such registered holder; or
(b): such Shares are deposited for the account of a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank, a commercial bank or trust company in the United States, a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP) or a member of the New York Stock Exchange Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP) (each such entity, an "Eligible Institution").

In all other cases, an Eligible Institution must guarantee all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal by completing Box K "Guarantee of Signature(s)". See Instruction 7.

2.: Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.

Certificates for all physically tendered Shares together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, should be hand delivered, couriered or mailed to the Depositary at the appropriate address set forth herein and must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date.

Shareholders whose certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver certificates for Shares and all other required documents to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date, or the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, may only tender their Shares by or through any Eligible Institution by properly completing and duly executing and delivering a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form provided by the Company with the Offer (indicating the type of tender and, in the case of an Auction Tender, the price at which Shares are being tendered) to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date, which must include a signature guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, and by otherwise complying with this guaranteed delivery procedure as set forth in the Offer under "Procedure for Depositing Common Shares—Guaranteed Delivery". Pursuant to such guaranteed delivery procedure, the certificates for all physically tendered Shares, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually executed photocopy thereof), or a Book-Entry Confirmation or Agent's Message in lieu thereof in the case of a book-entry transfer, relating to such Shares, with signatures guaranteed if so required in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal, and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Toronto, Ontario office of the Depositary, before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on or before the second trading day on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) after the Expiration Date.

The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be hand delivered, couriered, mailed or emailed to the Toronto, Ontario office of the Depositary listed in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. For Shares to be validly tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure, the Depositary must receive the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery prior to the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, payment for Shares tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of certificates for such Shares, or timely confirmation of the book-entry transfer of such Shares, a

properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually executed photocopy thereof) relating to such Shares, with signatures that are guaranteed if so required, or a Book-Entry Confirmation or Agent's Message (as such terms are defined in the Offer) and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.

The tender information specified in a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by a person completing such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will, in all circumstances, take precedence over the tender information that is specified in the related Letter of Transmittal that is subsequently delivered.

The method of delivery of all documents, including certificates for Shares, is at the election and risk of the tendering Shareholder. Delivery is only effective upon receipt by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail or registered mail, properly insured, is recommended, and it is suggested that mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to permit delivery to the Depositary on or prior to such time.

The Company will not purchase any fractional Shares, nor will it accept any alternative, conditional or contingent tenders. All tendering Shareholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or a manually executed photocopy of it), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their tender.

3.: Inadequate Space.

If the space provided in the box captioned "Description of Shares Deposited" is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares should be listed on a separate signed schedule and attached to this Letter of Transmittal.

4.: Indication Type of Tender

To deposit Shares, the Shareholder must complete Box A—"Type of Tender" on this Letter of Transmittal or, if applicable, on the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, indicating whether he or she is tendering Shares pursuant to an Auction Tender (Box B) or a Purchase Price Tender (Box C). Only one Box may be checked. If more than one Box is checked or if no Box is checked, all Shares identified above will be deemed to have been tendered pursuant to the Purchase Price Tender. The same Shares cannot be tendered, unless previously properly withdrawn as provided in the Offer, pursuant to both an Auction Tender and a Purchase Price Tender or pursuant to Auction Tenders at more than one price. However, if a Shareholder desires to tender Shares in separate lots at a different type of tender for each lot, such Shareholder must complete a separate Letter of Transmittal or, if applicable, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for each lot which the Shareholder is tendering.

5.: Indication of Auction Price.

For Shares to be properly tendered pursuant to an Auction Tender, a Shareholder must check the box indicating the price per Share at which he or she is tendering Shares under Box B "Auction Tenders". Only one box in Box B may be checked. If more than one box is checked, or if no box is checked, there is no proper tender of Shares. Shareholders (other than Odd Lot Holders) may make multiple Auction Tenders but not in respect of the same Shares. If a Shareholder wishes to tender different Shares at different prices, a separate tender instruction must be submitted for each such tender. The same Shares cannot be tendered pursuant to Auction Tenders (unless previously withdrawn as provided in Section 6 of the Offer) at more than one price.

All questions as to the number of Shares to be accepted, the price to be paid therefor, the form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any deposit of Shares will be determined by Atlantic Power, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties, except as otherwise finally determined in a subsequent judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law. Atlantic Power reserves the absolute right to reject any deposits of Shares determined by it not to be in proper form or completed in accordance with the instructions in the Offer and in this Letter of Transmittal or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which may, in the opinion of Atlantic Power's counsel, be unlawful. Atlantic Power also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect or irregularity in the deposit of any particular Shares and Atlantic Power's interpretation of the terms of the Offer (including the instructions in the Offer and this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties, except as otherwise finally determined in a subsequent judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law. No individual deposit of Shares will be deemed to be properly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. The Company will not be liable for failure to waive any condition of the Offer or any defect or irregularity in any tender of Shares. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with deposits must be cured within such time as Atlantic Power shall determine. None of Atlantic Power, the Depositary nor any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of defects or irregularities in deposits, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. Atlantic Power's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including this Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery) will be final and binding, except as otherwise finally determined in a subsequent judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law.

11.: Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies.

Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Depositary at the addresses and telephone numbers set forth herein or to the Dealer Manager at the addresses and telephone number set forth on the back cover of the Offer and Circular. Additional copies of the Offer, the Circular, this Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained from the Dealer Manager at the addresses and telephone number set forth on the back cover of the Offer and Circular, or from your local broker, dealer, commercial bank or trust company.

12.: Jurisdiction of Residence.

Each Shareholder depositing Shares to the Depositary must represent as to whether or not such Shareholder is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act by completing Box J. If no box is checked in Box J "Jurisdiction of Residence", no valid tender is made.

In order to avoid "backup withholding" of United States income tax on payments made on the Common Shares, a Shareholder that is a U.S. holder (as defined below) must generally provide the person's correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") on the enclosed IRS Form W-9 above and

certify, under penalties of perjury, that such number is correct, that such Shareholder is not subject to backup withholding, and that such Shareholder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). If the correct TIN is not provided or if any other information is not correctly provided, payments made with respect to the Common Shares may be subject to backup withholding of 24%. For the purposes of this Letter of Transmittal, a "U.S. holder" or "U.S. person" means: a beneficial owner of Common Shares that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is (a) a citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation, or other entity classified as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state in the United States, including the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for United States federal income tax purposes or (ii) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust, or (e) a partnership, limited liability company or other entity classified as a partnership for United States tax purposes that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state in the United States, including the District of Columbia.

Backup withholding is not an additional United States income tax. Rather, the United States income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Certain persons (including, among others, corporations, certain "not-for-profit" organizations, and certain non-U.S. persons) are not subject to backup withholding. A Shareholder that is a U.S. holder should consult his or her tax advisor as to the shareholder's qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such exemption.

The TIN for an individual United States citizen or resident is the individual's social security number enclosed IRS. If the Shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future, then the Shareholder should write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in part I of the enclosed IRS Form W-9 and sign and date the IRS Form W-9. Please consult the instructions included in the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for further guidance.

Failure to furnish TIN—If you fail to furnish your correct TIN, you are subject to a penalty of US$50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Non-U.S. holders receiving payments in the U.S. should return a completed Form W-8BEN, a copy of which is available from the Depositary upon request.

Part II		Certification

Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:


1.		The number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me); and
2.		I am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding; and

For real estate transactions, item 2 does not apply. For mortgage interest paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and generally, payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the certification, but you must provide your correct TIN. See the instructions for Part II, later.

General Instructions

Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9.

Purpose of Form

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

• Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

• Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

• Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.



		Cat. No. 10231X		Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)


Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)		Page 2

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

• An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners' share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a "saving clause." Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

What is FATCA Reporting?

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.


Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)		Page 3

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.

a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or "doing business as" (DBA) name on line 2.

The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2, "Business name/disregarded entity name." If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner's SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity's EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity's EIN.

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering "Applied For" means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code, earlier.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.


Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)		Page 6

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338). If you have been the victim of identity theft, see www.IdentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.
