Say on Pay

In accordance with Hydro One's corporate governance guidelines, the company will hold an advisory vote on the approach to executive compensation (say on pay). The purpose of the say on pay vote is to obtain shareholder input on executive compensation at each AGM.

The board believes that the shareholder say on pay vote forms an important part of the ongoing process of engagement between shareholders and the board on executive compensation.

At the AGM, shareholders will have an opportunity to vote on Hydro One's approach to executive compensation through consideration of the following say on pay advisory resolution:

"Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the board of directors, that the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the management information circular delivered in advance of the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders of the company."

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the board. However, the board will take into account the results of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. The directors remain responsible for overseeing the company's executive compensation practices, in accordance with applicable law, and are not relieved of these responsibilities by the outcome of this advisory vote by shareholders.

The board recommends that you vote FOR approval of the advisory resolution on Hydro One's approach to executive compensation.

For (%) Against (%)
2022 Say on Pay Voting Results 97.84 2.16

Information About Voting

Delivery of Proxy Materials

As permitted by applicable Canadian securities laws, Hydro One is providing shareholders with electronic access to its circular for the company's AGM and its 2022 annual report, using "notice-and-access" instead of mailing out paper copies. Electronic delivery is environmentally friendly and saves money.

Shareholders will receive a notice of availability of proxy materials (notice) together with a form of proxy or voting instruction form. The notice provides instructions on how shareholders may access and review an electronic copy of the circular and how to request a paper copy. Shareholders who have already provided instructions on their account to receive paper copies of the circular will also receive a paper copy of the circular with a copy of the notice regarding electronic availability. The notice also provides instructions on voting at the AGM.

Proxy materials are being sent to registered shareholders directly and will be sent to intermediaries to be forwarded to all non-registered (beneficial) shareholders. We pay the cost of proxy solicitation for all registered owners and for beneficial owners other than beneficial owners who object to their name and address being given to the company. An objecting beneficial owner will only receive proxy materials if their intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Shares Outstanding

As of April 21, 2023 there were 599,076,654 common shares outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote per common share.

The Electricity Act, 1998 (Ontario) and Hydro One's articles of incorporation preclude any person or company (or combination of persons or companies acting jointly or in concert), other than the Province, from owning, or exercising control or direction over, more than 10% of any class or series of voting securities, including common shares of Hydro One.

Who Can Vote

Shareholders have the right to one vote per common share held by them on the record date for the meeting which is April 21, 2023.

Other than the Province, any person, or an entity controlled by a person, who beneficially owns shares that represent, in the aggregate, more than 10% of the eligible votes that may be cast at the meeting, may not vote any of their shares.

As of April 21, 2023, our directors and executive officers were not aware of any person or entity who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over 10% or more of our outstanding common shares, other than the Province, which holds 282,412,648 common shares (representing approximately 47% of the outstanding common shares).

Under the Governance Agreement, the Province and Hydro One exchanged nomination notices and confirmed their acceptance of each other's director nominees. The Province is also required, under the Governance Agreement, to vote in favour of the nominees identified in this circular except in the case of contested director elections and where the Province seeks to replace the board in accordance with the Governance Agreement by withholding votes or voting for removal.

More information about the Governance Agreement can be found on page 28.

Your broker or intermediary has sent you a voting instruction form.

If you wish to attend, participate and vote at the meeting online, you can do so as follows:

1. Appoint yourself as proxyholder as described below under the heading "How to Vote in Advance or by Proxy", including by providing an "Appointee Name" and designating an 8-character "Appointee Identification Number". Please note that these steps must be completed prior to the proxy deadline (or such earlier deadline as your broker or other intermediary may specify) or you will not be able to ask questions or vote your common shares at the meeting.

2. Follow the instructions below for Proxyholders to log in and vote at the meeting as described below under the heading "How Do I Attend the Meeting as a Proxyholder?"

A non-registered (beneficial) shareholder wishing to access the meeting online without participating or voting - for example, because you have provided voting instructions prior to the meeting or appointed another person to vote on your behalf at the meeting - can access the meeting in the same manner as for registered shareholders described above using the 16-digit control number located on your voting instruction form or form of proxy. However, such a shareholder will not be able to participate in or ask questions at the meeting unless they are also a duly appointed proxyholder.

If the proxy deadline is waived by Hydro One prior to the meeting, all non-registered (beneficial) shareholders will be able to attend, participate and vote at the meeting online in the same manner as for registered shareholders. To access, participate and vote at the meeting, use your 16-digit control number located on your voting instruction form or contact your broker to obtain a control number from Broadridge.

In that case, if you have previously provided voting instructions or appointed another person to vote on your behalf, and you choose to access and vote on any matter at the meeting online during the live webcast and receive access to a ballot, then you will revoke all prior voting instructions or appointments. If you do not wish to revoke your prior instructions or appointments, you will still be able to access the meeting online, participate, and ask questions. Alternatively, you may elect to attend the meeting as a registered guest, as described below under the heading "How do I Attend the Meeting as a Guest?", but you will not be able to participate in, ask questions, or vote at the meeting. You should not assume that the proxy deadline will be waived in whole or in part, and you should vote prior to the meeting or appoint yourself or another person to vote on your behalf at the meeting prior to the proxy deadline (or such earlier deadline as your broker or other intermediary may specify) to ensure your vote is counted at the meeting.

Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge) has sent you a proxy form. Do not complete the proxy form and instead follow these steps:

1. Log in to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ HRNNF2023 at least 15 minutes before the meeting starts. You should allow ample time to check into the meeting online and to complete the related procedures.

2. Enter your 16-digit control number into the Shareholder Login section (your control number is located on your proxy form) and click on "Enter Here".

3. Follow the instructions to access the meeting and vote when prompted.

Even if you currently plan to access and vote at the meeting online, you should consider voting your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

You should note that if you access and vote on any matter at the meeting online and receive a ballot on the online meeting platform you will revoke any previously submitted proxy.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

How Can I Ask Questions at the Meeting?

Hydro One believes that the ability to participate in the meeting in a meaningful way, including by asking questions, is an important responsibility for shareholders. It is anticipated that registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have properly appointed themselves as proxyholders) participating in the meeting online will have substantially the same opportunity to ask proper questions on matters of business before the meeting as such shareholders and proxyholders participating in the meeting in person.

Upon registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders logging into the meeting online, they will have an opportunity to ask questions at the meeting through a chat box in the online meeting platform. Similarly, those who attend in person will also have an opportunity to ask questions at the meeting.

Questions received from registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders that do not properly relate to matters of business before the meeting are expected to be addressed in a question and answer session following the meeting. Such questions will be read by the chair of the meeting or a designee of the chair and responded to by a representative of Hydro One.

The chair of the meeting will decide, at their discretion, the amount of time allocated to each question. The chair will also have the right to limit or consolidate questions to ensure as many registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders as possible will have the opportunity to ask questions. Further, the chair may reject questions that do not relate to the business of the meeting or which are determined, in the chair's discretion, to be inappropriate or otherwise out of order.

Registered guests can attend and access the meeting online and in person. However, guests (including non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have not properly appointed themselves as proxyholders) will not be able to participate in or ask questions at the meeting.

Who Do I Contact If I Cannot Log into the Meeting?

If you have any difficulties logging into the meeting online, please contact Broadridge's online shareholder meeting help line using the toll-free number shown on the login page.

If you are participating in the meeting online, you must remain connected to the internet at all times during the meeting in order to vote when balloting commences. It is your responsibility to ensure internet connectivity for the duration of the meeting. Note that if you lose connectivity once the meeting has commenced, there may be insufficient time to resolve your issue before ballot voting is completed.

Even if you currently plan to participate in the meeting, you should consider voting your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted in the event you experience any difficulties.

How Do I Attend the Meeting as a Proxyholder?

If you have been properly appointed as proxyholder for a registered or non-registered shareholder (or you are a non-registered shareholder who has appointed themselves as proxyholder), you attend and vote at the meeting as follows:

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

Director Compensation

The by-laws of the company provide that directors may receive remuneration for their services as determined by the board and be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending meetings of shareholders or of the board or any committee thereof or otherwise in the performance of their duties.

On August 15, 2018, the Province passed the Hydro One Accountability Act, 2018 (HOAA). The HOAA required our board to establish a new executive compensation framework for the board of directors, President and CEO, and other executives by no later than February 15, 2019. On February 21, 2019, pursuant to the HOAA, the Management Board of Cabinet issued a directive to Hydro One (the directive) setting out certain compensation-related requirements. As specified in the directive, the maximum total compensation for the board may be adjusted annually by the lesser of the rate of the Ontario Consumer Price Index and the annual rate at which total maximum direct compensation may be adjusted for non-executive managerial employees. In February 2022, during its annual review of director compensation, the GRC and the board reviewed director compensation and determined not to make any compensation adjustments. The chart below sets out our directors' compensation, for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was in compliance with the directive.

Committee chairs receive a $5,350 retainer for their duties as committee chair. They can elect to take up to 100% of their retainer in the form of DSUs (as defined below).

Hydro One has a non-employee director deferred share unit (DSU) plan providing for awards of director DSUs to Hydro One directors other than the President and CEO. Directors are required to receive 50% of their annual director retainer as an equity component, which they receive in the form of DSUs. They may elect to be paid up to 100% of the cash component of their compensation in the form of director DSUs. Director DSUs are notional shares that have the same value as Hydro One common shares and earn additional units as dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends paid on our common shares. Director DSUs vest immediately, but directors can only redeem their DSUs for cash after they leave the board (following a one-year holding period to the extent required to comply with their share ownership requirements post departure). Board committee chairs can choose to take their annual committee chair retainer in cash or director DSUs. Directors do not receive meeting fees for board or committee meeting attendance.

The company's director compensation, travel and expense policy applies to non-employee directors.

Directors are expected to continue to satisfy their share ownership requirement (or maintain their existing level of share ownership if lower than the requirement) for a period of 12 months following their departure from the board. For a period of 24 months following retirement from the company, the President and CEO must continue to own sufficient shares to meet the lesser of the share ownership requirement applicable to the President and CEO or the level of share ownership that the individual had attained at the time of retirement.

Non-Employee Director Share Ownership Requirements and Equity Ownership

Hydro One believes that the interests of shareholders and directors are better aligned when directors hold a significant investment in Hydro One. Directors who are non-employees of Hydro One are required to retain a minimum holding of common shares or DSUs equal to three times (3x) their total annual board retainer (calculated including the equity portion), valued at the original grant value or acquisition cost, within six years following the date of their appointment to the board. The ownership requirement for directors was as follows: The Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found on our website at: https://www.hydroone.com/about/ corporate-information/governance.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

In Camera Meetings

At each meeting of the board, the independent directors hold an in camera meeting at which non- independent directors and members of management are not present. Each committee of the board also holds similar sessions at each of their respective meetings.

These sessions encourage open and candid discussion among the directors. In 2022, an in-camera meeting was held at each of the regularly scheduled board and committee meetings, for a total of 24 such meetings.

Cease Trade Orders and Bankruptcies

Except as described below, no director nominee:

is, or within the last 10 years has served as, a director, CEO or chief financial officer of any company that, during such service or as a result of an event that occurred during such service, was subject to an order (including a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied access to any exemption under securities legislation), for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

within the last 10 years has become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the director, executive officer or shareholder.

The Governance Agreement and the July 11, 2018 Letter Agreement with the Province

The Governance Agreement describes certain principles and standards that govern how Hydro One will be managed and operated, including that the Province, in its capacity as a holder of common shares, will engage in the business and affairs of Hydro One as an investor and not as a manager. Among other things, the Governance Agreement:

requires that, except for the CEO, all board members be independent of Hydro One and independent of the Province (please refer to page 35 for the definition of independence);

addresses the director nomination process, including the entitlement of the Province to nominate 40% of directors to be elected;

requires Hydro One to maintain a Majority Voting Policy for director elections and restricts the Province's ability to withhold from voting for directors except where the Province replaces the entire board other than the CEO and, at the Province's discretion, the board chair;

requires approval by special resolution of the directors of the appointment and annual confirmation of the CEO, the board chair and changes to key governance practices of the company;

30 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

restricts the right of the Province to exercise certain shareholder rights, such as to requisition a shareholder meeting to consider a fundamental change, or to solicit others to exercise rights which the Province is restricted from exercising; and

restricts the acquisition of voting securities by the Province but grants the Province pre-emptive rights with respect to future issuances of voting securities.

Following the June 7, 2018 election in Ontario, Hydro One and the Province entered into a letter agreement dated July 11, 2018 (the July 11 Letter Agreement) for the purpose of the orderly replacement of Hydro One's then 13 independent directors (the former directors) and the retirement of the then President & CEO.

A copy of the Governance Agreement and the July 11 Letter Agreement have been filed on SEDAR and are available under Hydro One's profile at www.sedar.com.

Board Structure

The structure and role of the board are consistent with leading governance practices and reflect the requirements of the Governance Agreement. Except for the board chair and the President and CEO, all director nominees serve on two board committees. The board chair and the President and CEO regularly attend each committee meeting by standing invitation but have no vote at the committee meetings.

All members of these committees are persons determined by the board to be independent. The board committees are responsible for assisting the board in carrying out its duties and fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the matters set out in each committee mandate, which were approved by the board.

75% of our

committee chairs

are women

Each committee chair reports to the board following their meetings and makes any recommendations and provides guidance to the board in accordance with their committee mandate.

There was a change of membership of the committees to the board of directors following the annual meeting of shareholders on June 8, 2022. On June 21, 2022, there was a further change of membership of the committees to the board of directors following Mr. Poweska's departure and Mr. Sheffield stepping into the role of Interim President and CEO. The changes are reflected in the charts below:

Nomination of Directors

The GRC serves as the nominating committee of the board and is responsible for identifying qualified candidates for election to the board, having regard for their independence, background, diversity, experience and skills and the alignment of their experience and skills with Hydro One's needs. The GRC maintains an evergreen list of potential director nominees, taking into account the existing skills matrix, the board diversity policy, the recruitment of women and Indigenous Peoples, term limits, the board evaluation results from the previous year, and other relevant factors.

Annually, under the Governance Agreement, the Province is entitled to nominate the number of directors that is equal to 40% of the number of directors to be elected (rounded to the nearest whole number). The Province has no obligation to nominate any of the individuals recommended by the GRC or board as one of its director nominees. Below is a description of the nomination process generally followed each year with the Province leading up to our annual meeting of shareholders:

Exchange of Nomination Notice with the Province

• Not later than 60 days prior to the date by which proxy solicitation materials must be mailed for Hydro One's annual meeting, each of the Province and the GRC will notify the other of its proposed director nominees

Confirmation/Rejection of Director Nominees

• The GRC and the Province have 10 business days following receipt of the above-referenced notice to confirm or reject the director nominees

• If a proposed nominee is not already a director of Hydro One or is a director but whose circumstances have materially changed in a way that would affect how they would continue to meet director qualification standards under the Governance Agreement, then the GRC and the Province have 10 business days following exchange of nomination notices to confirm or reject the director nominees on the basis that the nominee does not meet the qualification standards

• If a director nominee of the Province or the GRC is rejected, the Province or the GRC will be entitled to nominate additional candidates until a nominee is confirmed by the other

• If no replacement nominee is confirmed for a director who was expected to depart from the board and that director does not resign, that director shall be re-nominated

• The Province and the committee will use commercially reasonable efforts to confirm director nominees prior to the date by which proxy solicitation materials must be mailed for the annual meeting of shareholders

34 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Obligations of the Province

• The Province is required under the Governance Agreement to vote in favour of all director nominees of Hydro One in accordance with the process set out in the Governance Agreement

• This obligation is subject, however, to the Province's overriding right to withhold from voting or otherwise seek a shareholder meeting to remove and replace the entire board, including in each case its own director nominees but excluding the CEO and, at the Province's discretion, the board chair

Director nominees must meet the director qualification standards set out in the Governance Agreement, including the prescribed director independence requirements and requirements under securities laws, the Governance Agreement, and applicable stock exchange rules. If a proposed nominee is replacing an existing director, under the Governance Agreement, the nominee must also, when taking into account existing directors and other confirmed nominees, enable the board to satisfy the board composition requirements of Hydro One's director skills matrix, board diversity policy and other governance standards.

All of our directors owe a fiduciary duty to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of Hydro One regardless of whether they are nominated by the Province or by the company's GRC. Pursuant to the Governance Agreement, a majority of the board must at all times be resident Canadians.

Independence

None of the director nominees standing for election have ever served as an executive of the company. Having an independent board is one of the ways we ensure that the board operates independently of management and makes decisions in the best interests of Hydro One and our shareholders and other stakeholders.

The table below summarizes what it means for director nominees to be independent of Hydro One and independent of the Province.

Independent of Hydro One

Independent of the Province

• Directors must be independent within the meaning of all Canadian securities laws governing the disclosure of corporate governance practices and stock exchange requirements imposing a number or percentage of independent directors; and

• A director who is "independent" within the meaning of applicable securities laws is one who is free from any direct or indirect relationship which could, in the view of the board, be reasonably expected to interfere with a director's independent judgment, with certain specified relationships deemed to be non-independent.

• They are independent of Hydro One under Ontario securities laws governing the disclosure of corporate governance practices, where the Province and certain specified provincial entities are treated as Hydro One's parent under that definition;

• They are not a current official or employee of the Province; and

• They have not been an official or employee of the Province for at least three years prior to their nomination to the board.

The chair of the board

of Hydro One is

independent of Hydro One

and the Province.

With the exception of

the President and CEO,

all 2023 director nominees

are independent.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 35

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Ethical Business Conduct

Hydro One promotes ethical principles to foster integrity, respect, excellence and social responsibility. The company has a written Code of Business Conduct that applies to all employees, directors and officers of Hydro One and its subsidiaries.

The full text of the Code

of Business Conduct and

Whistleblower Policy is available on

Hydro One's website at

www.HydroOne.com.

The Code of Business Conduct refers to Hydro One's core values and establishes standards to define how employees, officers and directors of Hydro One should act. In addition, Hydro One requires each of its contractors, suppliers, business partners, consultants and agents to comply with the Code of Business Conduct, to the greatest extent feasible, in their dealings with or on behalf of Hydro One. The Code of Business Conduct addresses, among other things, health and safety matters, conflicts of interest, discrimination and harassment, confidentiality, insider trading, environmental protection, safeguarding Hydro One's assets (including accounting and financial reporting), fraudulent activity and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

We also have a Supplier Code of Conduct, which supplements the Code of Business Conduct. The Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the standard of business behaviour expected of Hydro One's suppliers. It includes the requirement to act with honesty and integrity, be guided by Hydro One's ethical values, and comply with both the spirit and intent of the Supplier Code of Conduct.

The board monitors compliance with the Code of Business Conduct through the HRC. The HRC oversees the procedures of the Code of Business Conduct and Whistleblower Policy, including the receipt, management, investigation and closure of complaints received, except for accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters, which are reserved for oversight by the audit committee. The HRC received a code of business conduct and whistleblower report at each quarterly committee meeting in 2022. In 2022, the audit committee was advised that no such complaints under its oversight were received.

Any actual, potential or suspected violation of the Code of Business Conduct can be reported anonymously directly to the company's chief ethics officer, as confidential designee of the audit committee, or via ClearView Connects, a confidential independent third-party ethics reporting service in accordance with the Whistleblower Policy, which is monitored by the company's chief ethics officer. Anonymous reports can also be made directly to the company's corporate ethics office.

The Whistleblower Policy is designed as a safeguard against threats to the integrity of our financial reporting, threats to health and safety, wrongdoing by employees, representatives and business partners and actual, potential or suspected violations of our Code of Business Conduct and applicable laws, rules and regulations.

The Whistleblower Policy also includes anti-reprisal provisions in order to protect employees who make a report in good faith. All reports are investigated internally or by an independent external party.

Each year, employees receive refresher training on the Code of Business Conduct and our fraud risk assessment management program.

The 2022 Code of Business Conduct annual refresher training provided an overview of the elements of the Code of Business Conduct and, among other things, addressed harassment in the workplace.

Directors were provided with the 2022 Code of Business Conduct annual refresher training and confirmed compliance with the Code of Business Conduct.

Employees are encouraged to discuss workplace harassment, in relation to Hydro One's policies on acceptable workplace behaviours. We take steps to categorize harassment cases, including identifying those that are of a sexual nature or have an element of workplace sexual harassment. All cases are investigated and reported to the HRC quarterly.

Conflict of Interest and Related Party Transactions

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors have an ongoing obligation to report potential or actual conflicts of interest and provide us with complete information on all entities in which they have a material interest, so that any potential conflicts, including related party transactions, can be identified.

36 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE OF THE BOARD

These guidelines define conflict of interest broadly to include a situation where a director has a personal or financial interest in a matter which is the subject of an action or decision by Hydro One that may reasonably be perceived to affect the objectivity of the director in carrying out their responsibilities and duties, that represents an advantage or gain to the director or certain other persons or which may otherwise affect their personal, business or professional interests. This definition is generally expected to capture any related party transactions to which such person is a party, and requires that such actual or potential conflict be disclosed to the board chair, our chief legal officer and our chief ethics officer. If the board chair concurs with the Chief Legal Officer that there is an actual or potential conflict, the applicable director will disclose that interest to the board or committee (as the case may be) and will recuse themselves from any meeting and any discussions or vote on the matter. Our Code of Business Conduct applies these principles more generally, and any waiver of an actual or potential conflict, including a material interest in a related party transaction, in favour of any director or executive officer will only be granted by the board.

The audit committee mandate provides that the audit committee will review any related party transactions that may have a material current or future effect on the company's financial condition, results of operations or other matters.

We also ask our directors and officers questions regarding related party matters in our annual director and officer questionnaires, and we circulate a dedicated related party questionnaire to our board, senior executives and to the individuals who serve on the boards of Hydro One's subsidiaries on an ongoing (at least biannual) basis in order to identify any interest in related party transactions. Any affirmative responses from these questionnaires are forwarded to the audit committee and GRC for consideration. In 2022, there were no material conflicts of interest, related party transactions or waivers of our Code of Business Conduct reported by or granted in favour of any of our directors, CEO or other senior executives.

Skills and Competencies of the Board

The skills matrix below shows the board's mix of key skills and experience in areas that are important to Hydro One's business. This skills matrix underwent a comprehensive review in 2022 by the GRC so that the skills matrix continues to align with and support Hydro One's strategy and the development of a diverse board of directors. The skills matrix is used to identify those skills for which the company will recruit when making changes to its board.

Term Limits

The company's board is committed to a process of renewal and succession planning for directors. The board has adopted term limits on board service, a mandatory retirement age and a committee chair service review which are set out in the corporate governance guidelines.

Term Limit

Age Limit

Non-executive directors cannot stand for re-election 12 years after the date on which the director first beganserving on the board of directors of Hydro One or any of its subsidiaries, except in special circumstances (including if necessary to facilitate orderly board renewal) on the recommendation of the GRC.

No director shall be appointed or elected as a director after that person has reached 75 years of age, unless otherwise determined by the board.

Committee Chair Service Review

As part of the GRC's annual review of committee memberships and structure, the GRC considers whether it is appropriate to change committee chairs for directors who have served as a committee chair for four or more years.

Limit on Directorships

The company recognizes that the board can benefit when a director also serves on the board of another company. However, as directors are expected to devote the time necessary to fulfil their responsibilities, a director's acceptance of additional positions as a corporate director of for-profit, not-for-profit or private entities are subject to the board's review. We limit the number of public company boards (excluding Hydro One and its subsidiaries) a non-management director can serve on up to four, and the President and CEO should not hold more than one such directorship.

The audit committee mandate also provides that no member of the audit committee may serve on the audit committee of more than two other publicly traded companies (other than Hydro One and its subsidiaries) unless the board has first determined that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of the member to serve effectively on the audit committee.

No current director or director nominee serves on more than four other public company boards and no member of the audit committee serves on the audit committee of more than two other public company boards.

Board Interlocks

The board seeks to avoid having more than one board interlock at any given time. A "board interlock" is a circumstance where two or more directors serve on the board of directors of another publicly traded company (excluding service on the boards of any of the company's subsidiaries). Directors may not accept an invitation to join the board of another publicly traded company, and new candidates for service on the board will not be invited to join the board, if it would result in there being more than one board interlock (or would increase the number of directors involved in the same board interlock), in each case unless approved by the board. The board reviews outside directorships regularly. Directors are required to notify the chair of the board and the chair of the GRC of any opportunity to join another board prior to accepting any invitation to join another board.

The company currently has no board interlocks.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 39

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Majority Voting Policy

The board has a Majority Voting Policy for the election of directors. This policy provides that in an uncontested election, any nominee for director who receives more withheld votes than for votes will immediately tender their resignation following the election meeting for consideration by the board. The board will review the matter and take whatever actions it determines are appropriate in the circumstances. The director who has tendered their resignation pursuant to this policy will not participate in any deliberations of the board regarding the resignation. In this instance, the other directors shall consider, and within 90 days of the election meeting determine, whether or not to accept the resignation. A resignation will be accepted absent exceptional circumstances and is effective when accepted by the board. A press release will be issued promptly following the director's decision (including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the resignation). If a director does not tender their resignation pursuant to this policy, the board will not re-nominate that director at the next election. If there are fewer than three directors who did not receive a majority withheld vote, the entire board shall consider and, within 90 days following the election meeting determine, whether or not to accept the resignation and shall accept the resignation absent exceptional circumstances.

Under the Governance Agreement, the Province may not withhold its votes for the nominees proposed for election in an uncontested election unless the Province withholds from voting for all nominees other than the CEO and, at the Province's discretion, the chair. Where directors have received a majority withheld vote as a result of the Province withholding its vote from their election in an uncontested election and have tendered their resignations, the board will take whatever actions it determines are appropriate, and the directors who received a majority withheld vote may participate in that determination.

The Majority Voting Policy does not apply to a contested election where the number of candidates for director validly nominated exceeds the number of directors to be elected at that meeting.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

The board oversees the company's approach to environmental, social and governance matters relating to the long-term health and sustainability of the company. This oversight includes reviewing and approving the company's key sustainability priorities, its program, and its annual sustainability report.

The board's IPSO committee oversees the company's programs and approaches related to our sustainability objectives, including in the areas of Indigenous relations, community investment, safety and the environment. The GRC oversees the company's regulatory, customer and public policy matters. The HRC oversees the company's diversity, equity and inclusion programs and initiatives, and our wellness programs, including our support for employees' mental health.

As a transmission and distribution company, we are focused on executing the sustainability priorities of our corporate strategy where we believe we can make the greatest impact: diversifying our talent across our workforce and creating an equitable and inclusive work environment; effectively managing the impact of climate change on our business, supporting Ontario in enabling the energy transition and reducing our environmental footprint; and on strengthening our Indigenous and community partnerships in order to build socio-economic capacity across the province. In 2021, under the Board's oversight, Hydro One made significant commitments to advance our performance in our priority areas.(1)

1. See "Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements" starting on page 110.

40 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Hydro One is committed to reporting annually on our progress in achieving these publicly stated goals in our annual sustainability report and to continuously increasing the transparency and accountability of our ESG disclosures. These disclosures are guided by the Global Reporting Initiative sustainability reporting standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, Electricity Canada's Sustainable Electricity Company designation and the company's sustainability materiality assessment. In 2021, for the first time, we began broadly aligning our climate disclosures to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate- related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Understanding the risks and opportunities posed by climate change on our business, we are committed to increasing our alignment with the TCFD recommendations and providing transparent disclosures of our progress. In 2022, we integrated the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) into our reporting.

Hydro One has made important progress on advancing our performance in our priority areas of People, Planet and Community. In 2022, in partnership with First Nation leaders from across Ontario, Hydro One announced a new industry-leading equity partnership model, which will offer First Nations a 50% equity stake in all future large scale capital transmission projects. We also amended our syndicated lines of credit to include a pricing adjustment which can increase or decrease our cost of funding based on our performance in these three priority areas. In January 2023, Hydro One demonstrated its commitment to sustainability by publishing a Sustainable Financing Framework, a first for a utility company in Canada. The company also successfully priced its inaugural offering of Medium-Term Notes (MTN) under the new Sustainable Financing Framework in the amount of $1,050 million. This is the largest aggregate amount issuance of sustainable bonds by a corporate issuer to date in Canada. For further information regarding the company's key sustainability priorities, please see pages 40, 72 and 73 of the circular. For a recent copy of the company's sustainability report, please see the following link: https://www.hydroone.com/Sustainability.

Our most recent TCFD disclosure can be found in our 2021 Sustainability Report, an extract of which is available at: https://www.hydroone.com/Sustainability/Documents/CSR_2021/HydroOne_CSR_2021_Task_ Force.pdf. Neither our Sustainability Report nor extracts thereof are incorporated by reference into this Circular.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

Diversity, equity and inclusion are a source of our strength and a significant competitive advantage. We stand for people and make it a priority to build an inclusive work environment where our employees, customers, partners and the communities we serve feel heard, valued and experience a sense of belonging. This approach also makes business sense and is critical to our success, positively impacting innovation, engagement, trust and improving safety, the customer experience and business performance.

We believe that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are vital to helping us build a better and brighter future for all. This is our vision and to achieve it, we will eliminate the barriers faced by diverse groups and work to maintain a welcoming, inclusive workplace for everyone.

Board Diversity

The board has a board diversity policy (the Diversity Policy) to formalize Hydro One's commitment to diversity and its desire to maintain a board comprised of talented and dedicated directors whose skills, experience, knowledge and backgrounds reflect the diverse nature of the business environment in which we operate, including an appropriate number of directors who are women.

The level of representation of women and persons who identify as Indigenous, Black or as a Person of Colour (BPOC) on the board is specifically considered in identifying and nominating candidates for appointment or election to the Board. Any search firm engaged to assist the board or the GRC in identifying candidates for appointment to the board will be directed to include diverse candidates including women and persons who identify as an Indigenous Person, Black and/or a Person of Colour. Women candidates are included in the evergreen list of potential director nominees. Annually, the GRC reviews the Diversity Policy and assesses compliance with the policy and its effectiveness in promoting a diverse board.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 41

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Diversity Targets

Since our initial public offering in November 2015 the board has maintained over 30% women director representation, meeting and exceeding our commitment to the Catalyst Accord (more information on the Catalyst Accord is provided below). When identifying and nominating candidates for appointment, election or re-election to the board, candidates will be considered on merit against objective criteria having due regard to the benefits of diversity and the needs of the board.

The board aspires toward a board composition in which women comprise at least 40% of the directors of the board. Currently, 40% of our independent directors are women. If all director nominees are elected, we will exceed our aspirational goal of 40% with 45% (5) women directors.

The board aspires to have at least one director identifying as an Indigenous Person, Black, or as a Person of Colour hold at least one board seat.

Currently, 20% of our independent directors identify as Indigenous Persons. If all director nominees are elected, we will continue to have a board composition of 20% of independent directors identifying as Indigenous Persons.

Following the meeting, assuming that all the director nominees are elected, the board will therefore be comprised as follows:

Women

Indigenous Peoples

BPOC

2SLGBTQIA+

Persons with Disabilities

Public Commitments

In 2022, we continued to focus on our three key public commitments - the BlackNorth Initiative Pledge, the Catalyst Accord, and the Leadership Accord on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

BlackNorth Initiative Pledge Signatory since 2020

Committed to ending systemic Black racism through various activities including achieving 3.5% Black executives and board members, and 5% Black student hires by 2025. As of December 31, 2022, we have 3% Black students and no Black executives. We gave out five William Peyton Hubbard awards to exceptional Black students and rolled out anti-Black racism education sessions to our people managers.

Catalyst Accord Signatory since 2017

Committed to achieving 30% women executives and 30% women board directors by 2022. We currently have an annual average of 33% women executives and 40% of our independent directors are women.

The Leadership Accord on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Signatory since 2017

Committed to removing barriers to entry for diverse employees who are underrepresented and measuring change over a two-year timeframe. In 2022 we also completed a systemic barriers and bias review of our talent management lifecycle and will be updating our DEI strategy and creating a roadmap/action plan to eliminate and prevent the identified barriers.

42 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Gender, Indigenous, Black and Person of Colour Representation in Management

On average in 2022, 33% of our executives (13 individuals), including two of seven (or approximately 29%) ELT members and one of five (or 20%) executive officers, are women. The average total number of women holding executive roles increased by approximately 2% from 2021 to 2022. This increase allowed us to slightly exceed our target of 30% women executives by 2022 set out in the Catalyst Accord.

In 2022 we also continued to gather broader demographic data as part of our Diversity Census and based on our entire population at year end, of 7,586 employees, 3% self-identified as Indigenous and 12% self-identified as BPOC. For vice president and above, 3% self-identified as Indigenous and 18% self-identified as BPOC and 14% of our management-level directors self-identified as BPOC. Hydro One continues to strive to recruit diverse executives and considers the level of representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments. With the completion of our systemic barriers and bias review and a refresh of our Diversity Census data in 2022, the potential adoption of targets is now under consideration.

DEI Commitment Statement and Related Initiatives

In 2022 our board of directors approved an updated DEI Commitment Statement which took the place of our Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Policy and which we posted both internally and externally on our Hydro One website. Some key initiatives that we focused on aligned with our new refreshed Commitment Statement included the following:

1.

Conducted a systemic barriers and bias review of our talent management lifecycle including processes and practices related to recruitment, development, promotion and retention, taking an intersectional lens on a variety of diversity dimensions including gender, race, ability, and immigrant professional status.

2.

Launched DEI foundational training in an e-learning format to over 7,400 employees in Operations. 90 minute in-person sessions are also being conducted on an ad hoc basis.

3.

Organized eight anti-Black racism education sessions starting with our executives and directors and cascading to our people managers. A total of 272 participated in 2022 and we will continue cascading the training to all employees in 2023 and beyond.

4.

Launched a pilot women in trades mentoring program.

5.

Held our first hybrid Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Symposium on Destigmatizing Visible and Invisible Disabilities in the Workplace. We had over 300 employees attend in person and over 200 attend virtually.

Continued to conduct Men Advocating Real Change (MARC) workshops for our field managers and supervisors focused on how to advance gender equity in the workplace.

7.

Launched a second Diversity Census with our expanded diversity dimensions of gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, people with disabilities and immigrant professionals. We had 72% of our workforce provide self-identification data in our census.

8.

Continued to work with our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council comprised of directors and vice presidents and co-chaired by our Vice President of Transmission and Stations and Vice President, Tax. The role of the Council is to:

a.

Advise on diversity and inclusion strategies, programming, initiatives, and policies;

b.

Advocate for diversity and inclusion issues; and

c.

Act as diversity and inclusion champions and change agents promoting diversity and inclusion and disseminating best practices throughout Hydro One.

9.

Continued to partner with our Employee Resource Groups, which are voluntary groups of employees organized around a specific identity or interest. To date, we have eight Employee Resource Groups at Hydro One that bring together women, People of Colour, Indigenous employees, 2SLGBTQIA+ employees, employees with visible and invisible disabilities, men and supporters and allies to connect, develop, learn from each other and to support the advancement of inclusion at Hydro One.

10.

Continued to collaborate with our unions through our Diversity Committee to advance diversity and inclusion. Our Diversity Committee is comprised of representatives from management, the Canadian Union of Skilled Workers (CUSW), the Power Workers Union (PWU) and the Society of United Professionals.

44 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Hydro One continues to strive for a workplace that reflects the diversity of Ontario, where we live and work, while ensuring that we build a corporate culture of dignity, respect, trust and belonging. In looking ahead, we plan on building on the DEI work we have done by:

1.

Rolling out our 'Step Up' program to address inclusion, respect and psychological safety in the field. This one-day program, aligned with our operational and corporate strategies, will:

-

Foster a culture of inclusion and respect

-

Promote psychological safety

-

Raise awareness around what is, and what is not, appropriate workplace behaviour

-

Empower and inspire employees to take action, or "step up", when they see disrespectful and non-inclusive behaviour

2.

Launching Leadership Conversation Circles to raise awareness on inclusive leadership for directors and executives

3.

Spearheading a pilot mentoring program for Black identifying talent

4.

Setting diversity targets for women, Indigenous, Black and People of Colour to enhance our pipeline of talent, with a focus on trades, students and executive roles

Succession Planning and Talent Management

We have in place a robust succession planning framework that is aimed at ensuring a pipeline of highly skilled and talented leaders to drive and support Hydro One's long-term business and corporate strategy aspirations.

In 2022, we made progress with our leading Talent Management program, with a pilot rollout that entailed taking our entire Executive Leadership Team (ELT) through a series of multi-faceted assessments built from the Success Profiles for Hydro One's 'Leader of Tomorrow'. The assessment outcomes provided key input into our succession and development plans and programs for the year. We also launched a program aimed at providing top talent with exposure opportunities with the board, starting with a board networking event in November 2022.

In addition to reviewing and approving the Talent Management program, the HRC also reviews and approves the qualifications, experience and compensation packages of our most senior roles (including the President and CEO), reviews the performance goals set at the beginning of the year for all Designated Employees (as defined in Schedule "A" attached), reviews the President and CEO's accomplishments against the performance goals for the year, as well as the President and CEO's assessment of the performance of Designated Employees.

Consistent with our goal of improving the maturity of our programs and reducing our talent and succession risks, our 2022 talent review process yielded an improvement in the succession plan activation rate (achieving 71% at the Director and above level, compared to 44% in the previous year), while our ELT succession coverage rate remained unchanged compared to the same period last year. In addition, we achieved a 'Top Talent in Pipeline' ratio of 41% (an improvement of 13% compared to the same period last year), which is indicative of the quality of our bench strength for senior leadership roles.

As we continue to identify ways to mitigate our talent risks and address gaps identified in the succession outcomes, the focus for 2023 will be to cascade our leading Talent Management program at-scale across the organization - starting with our "next wave of leaders" immediately below the ELT. In addition, we will share progress updates with the board and HRC regarding development plans for successor nominees and continue to provide top talent with periodic exposure opportunities with the board.

Hydro One's succession planning strategy seeks to ensure that we have a pool of highly skilled and talented employees available and ready to step into senior leadership and other critical roles as the need may arise. Over the past few years, our focus has been building a best practice talent review process to meet the needs of our organization. This involves structured assessments, leadership discussions, identifying talent early and supporting successor nominee development plans.

As we continue to identify ways to mitigate our talent risks, our 2022 talent management and succession program focused on initiatives critical to ensuring we can continue to execute on our long-term strategy and business continuity.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 45

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Organization design is a key initiative to advancing our corporate strategy. This work will continue in 2023 and it continues to create opportunities to optimize leadership structures within our lines of business, ensure that we have the right talent in the right roles and build succession depth.

Increasing awareness of our diversity demographics and diversity ratios at all levels of leadership by comparing and communicating our internal results against external market demographics and industry benchmarks, helping ensure diversity considerations are taken into account, putting plans in place to reduce bias and better support diversity and inclusion throughout the employee lifecycle.

Identifying critical roles in alignment with the new corporate strategy roles which are integral to the continuity of the business. We recognized that these roles require rigorous and focused succession planning to prevent disruptions caused by unexpected vacancy or inappropriate replacement.

Improving tracking and development of future leaders and subject matter experts. During full-day talent reviews, emphasis will be placed on individualized development opportunities, cross functional rotations, stretch assignments and experiential learning to strengthen competencies and readiness for successors to executive leadership roles and talent identified as successors to critical roles.

In addition, consistent with our goals to improve the maturity of our programs and reduce our talent risks, the 2022 talent review process yielded emergency replacements for 100% of leadership roles, ready now and short-term successors were identified for 81% of critical roles and an increased commitment was made to supporting cross-functional role placements to promote new skill development and broaden the depth of business knowledge of our top talent.

Board Assessments

To enhance board efficacy, the GRC oversees the annual assessment process to examine the effectiveness of the board, its leadership, its committees and individual director performance (having regard to the mandate of the board and the mandate of the relevant committee, as the case may be). Until 2019, board assessments at Hydro One were conducted internally by the corporate secretary working with the board chair and GRC chair. Questionnaires were developed by the corporate secretary and chairs of the board and GRC and were reviewed and updated annually as needed. In 2019, the GRC recommended that Hydro One alternate the type of assessment used year-to-year with either a "long form evaluation" (consisting of questionnaires to assess the performance of the board, each committee, the committee chairs, board chair and individual directors and interviews with the board chair) or a "short form evaluation" (consisting of a questionnaire and interviews with the board chair). For 2019 and 2020, the GRC made the decision to use an independent third party and board assessments were conducted using the long form evaluation.

2020 Board Assessment

The 2020 board evaluation results led to a board action plan (the Board Effectiveness Action Plan), including an increased board focus on strategy, risk and progress against key strategic initiatives, board oversight of culture and stakeholders, board and committee goals and meetings and board education. A final report that included key themes was delivered to the GRC and was shared with management. The action plan was discussed and overseen by the GRC and shared and discussed with the board. The GRC concluded that the board and its committees continue to function in an effective and appropriate manner.

2021 Board Assessment

To complement prior board assessments, the GRC determined that the 2021 board evaluations at Hydro One consist of an agile and efficient short form evaluation procedure, again retaining the services of an independent third party. The 2021 board evaluation consisted of director interviews focused on progress against key elements of the Board Effectiveness Action Plan and new and emerging opportunities for the board to continually enhance board effectiveness. Through the third party, interviews were conducted with each of the directors. A report was prepared summarizing the findings and key themes, together with suggestions to enhance the board's effectiveness. The GRC and the board reviewed the report results and determined the board's priorities and objectives to enhance its effectiveness.

46 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

2022 Board Assessment

The GRC determined that the 2022 board assessment at Hydro One would consist of a long form evaluation. The GRC retained the services of an independent third party to assist it in conducting the 2022 board assessment. Through the third-party, questionnaires were completed by directors and the scope of the evaluation was updated to include a follow-up on the action items of the previous board assessment and to focus on committee effectiveness. The evaluation sought to identify trends, observations and sentiments across seven dimensions of board effectiveness: board purpose; composition; organizational knowledge and engagement; processes; leadership and culture; board structure; and time and focus areas. Members of board committees were prompted to respond to a set of questions relating to the committees on which they serve and were given the opportunity to provide feedback on committee chairs. Directors were asked to provide feedback for the chair of the board and were welcome to provide comments regarding their peers. A report was prepared summarizing the responses and suggestions were made to enhance board effectiveness. The GRC concluded that the board and its committees continue to function in an effective and appropriate manner. In 2022, the evaluation process consisted of the following steps:

Surveys

• Questionnaires were developed with input from the GRC and distributed to the directors

• The questionnaires solicited feedback from directors on the full board (including progress against the action items from the previous evaluation) and each committee

• Each section of the survey included an open text question to provide additional feedback

Director Interviews

• Interviews were conducted with targeted questions regarding the survey responses with a view to targeting specific aspects of board effectiveness

Governance and Regulatory Committee Review of Results

• Third party provided:

- A report to the GRC summarizing key themes as they relate to board and committee effectiveness, including a set of recommended actions for the board to consider for the upcoming year

- Committee feedback reports outlining the feedback from committee members

- A draft action plan with suggestions for GRC consideration and recommendation to the board

Report to the Board

• GRC reported to the board on the key themes emerging from the review as they relate to board effectiveness and committee effectiveness

Action Plan

• The board is set to review an anticipated set of recommended actions and a plan to further enhance the board's governance practices in 2023

Orientation and Continuing Education

The company has a director orientation and continuing education program for directors in accordance with Hydro One's corporate governance guidelines. The program has two purposes:

1) to familiarize newly appointed members of the board with their responsibilities as directors and with the various business activities of Hydro One; and

2) to assist directors in enhancing their knowledge and skills and their understanding of the company's business to help individual directors maintain and enhance their skills and abilities as directors, as well as to ensure that their knowledge and understanding of the company's business remains current.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found on our website at:

https://www.hydroone.com/about/ corporate-information/governance.

Director Orientation

Upon appointment, new directors are provided access to Diligent Boardbooks, which contains the Hydro One director's information manual and provides access to all meeting materials required for board and committee meetings. The director's information manual contains information about board and committee mandates, position descriptions for the board chair, President and CEO, committee chairs and individual directors, and contains copies of the company by-laws and corporate governance guidelines.

Upon appointment to a committee, each director has access to copies of minutes for the most recent committee meetings and a copy of the committee's mandate. Newly appointed committee members are also provided with any relevant subject matter briefing material that may be of assistance to them. In addition, new directors are provided with briefings by management on the key aspects of Hydro One's business affairs, activities, corporate governance structure and our policies and procedures.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 47

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

While director orientation is designed to be a complete introduction to Hydro One, it is also tailored to individual director needs. Directors are encouraged to proactively ensure they become and remain knowledgeable about Hydro One to fulfil their duties and to seek additional information if necessary.

New directors are invited to attend all quarterly committee meetings to understand the functions of each committee and its responsibilities.

Continuing Education

The continuing director education program consists of the following elements, and includes, on an ongoing basis, as part of regular board and committee meetings:

information briefings and internal educational sessions to be held between regular board and committee meeting dates;

presentations, video recordings, and updates from senior management;

quarterly corporate governance hot topics reports; and

discussions and industry briefings with external speakers on relevant topics related to Hydro One's business.

We also support continuing education opportunities outside Hydro One and each director is encouraged to attend external forums, conferences, seminars and education programs dealing with subject matters that are applicable to the member's role on the board or its committees or to increase the member's knowledge of the electricity sector and other areas of interest relevant to our businesses and affairs. The board has implemented a continuing education policy that provides financial support for directors to participate in continuing education. In 2022, the continuing director education program continued to use the innovative practice of including video recordings on a variety of topics germane to Hydro One's business and the board of directors. Videos were made available to directors prior to board and committee meetings and time was allocated for question and answer sessions on meeting agendas.

Directors participated in internal education sessions, including those listed in the following table:

Board Priorities

The board has responsibility for the stewardship of the company and has adopted a board mandate setting out the board's responsibilities, which includes supporting a culture of integrity, approving the capital and financial structure of the company, strategic planning, risk management, appointment and oversight of management, board governance, communications and reporting to stakeholders. This year the board continued to focus on supporting the corporate strategy and also spent a significant amount of time on the CEO selection process and board and committee succession planning process to effectively maintain a balance of directors possessing key skills and competencies, those with institutional knowledge, renewal of board members, and the refreshment of the evergreen list for short- and long-term board needs.

The board mandate is attached as Schedule "A" to this circular, which you can find on page 112.

The Board's Role in Strategy

The board believes that management is responsible for the development of Hydro One's corporate strategy and that its role is to review, question and ultimately approve the strategy. A top priority for the board is to oversee the implementation of each strategic priority, which has resulted in ensuring, among other things, a strong alignment between delivery of strategic outcomes and management compensation. In December 2022, the board of directors approved the 2023 budget and 2023 to 2027 integrated business plan, both of which are highly correlated with the company's strategy.

In order to do this, the board:

participates in Hydro One's strategy process throughout the year by reviewing and approving the strategic plan (taking into account the opportunities and risks of our business) and engaging in a regular strategy review;

regularly scrutinizes management's execution of strategic initiatives and business plans (both regulated and unregulated efforts) and their results;

receives regular corporate strategy reports throughout the year at its quarterly scheduled meetings; and

annually assesses the company's performance against financial and other objectives established in the company's business plans, past performance and industry peers.

In 2022, the board participated in the company's strategic planning process throughout the year by:

reviewing the strategic priorities and progress of each strategic initiative of the company;

holding an annual strategy session in June 2022;

reviewing and approving the Transmission and Distribution business strategies; and

through the GRC, receiving reports from the company's internal strategic policy committee.

In June 2022, the board held its annual strategy session, conducted an in-depth review of the company's corporate strategy, and promoted the development of strategic foresight and agility by reviewing: environmental scans, competitor analysis, underpinning strategic conditions, critical enterprise risks, energy industry innovation, and long-term scenario planning. The company's internal strategic policy committee, created in 2020, has facilitated the achievement of the company's corporate strategy and interests by proactively surfacing opportunities to advocate for appropriate regulatory and industry policy changes.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

Effective risk management is essential to supporting the successful execution of our strategy, enabling Hydro One to energize life for people and communities, to help create a better and brighter future for all, and to deliver upon the expectations of our stakeholders.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 49

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Hydro One understands the importance of effective ERM and has a mature ERM program that:

aligns with the strategic priorities and enablers outlined in Hydro One's 2020-2024 Corporate Strategy, and

provides stakeholder visibility into Hydro One's risk environment and the key risk management activities.

Hydro One's ERM program continues to monitor, consider and where appropriate, implement guidance from established frameworks (including the ISO 31000 Risk Management and COSO ERM Frameworks) and industry best practices to support the company's ability to assess, communicate and effectively respond to a rapidly changing risk environment.

The board retains responsibility for:

overseeing and approving the company's ERM framework and programs for identifying, assessing and managing the company's principal risks with a view to achieving an appropriate balance between the risks incurred and potential returns and the long-term sustainability of the company; and

overseeing and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of programs and processes for identifying, assessing and managing or mitigating the company's principal risks and ensuring that primary oversight responsibility for each of the key risks identified in the ERM framework is assigned to the board or one of its committees.

The Hydro One risk framework and risk universe reflect stakeholder consultations and describe the enterprise risks facing Hydro One.

The board has approved the updated risk framework and risk universe and has delegated the oversight of some risks within the risk universe to its committees in alignment with their mandates. The following allocation of Enterprise Risks to the board and committees was approved in August 2022:

Board/Committee Enterprise Risk

1.

While the Board retains overall accountability for ESG, there are a number of risks under ESG that have been allocated to other Committees to align with their mandates.

50 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

To assist the board in identifying the principal risks faced by the company, the ERM team facilitates an annual enterprise risk assessment during which management identifies the enterprise risks within the risk universe most critical to the achievement of the objectives of the corporate strategy. Risk profiles are created in conjunction with the risk owners and the ELT to:

describe each of these critical risks and articulate their underlying key risk drivers;

communicate management's assessment of the risk ratings (e.g., likelihood, impact, and speed of onset of the risk); and

illustrate how the risks are managed and identify additional risk management actions and timelines to further mitigate these risks.

Results of the annual enterprise risk assessment are used to assist in management's decision-making, prioritization and allocation of resources. In addition, the annual enterprise risk assessment is used as an input into the internal audit planning process, allowing the internal audit function to provide independent and objective feedback on the key management programs used to manage risk.

Quarterly risk updates are provided to the board on the critical and emerging risks facing Hydro One. These quarterly risk updates describe key developments related to the enterprise risk profile and activities undertaken by management to mitigate these risks. In addition to the quarterly risk updates, the ERM team facilitates a series of "critical risk discussions" with the board and committees, the responsible risk owners and executives to provide additional insights into the critical risks facing Hydro One.

A description of risk factors is provided in the management's discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Please refer to Hydro One's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The board's assessment of the relative significance of these risks may change over time as they continue to be reviewed and reevaluated.

Cybersecurity Risk

Recent international events have heightened the importance of cybersecurity related disclosure for certain of our stakeholders, while cybersecurity continued to be an area of focus for Hydro One during the past year. The company is exposed to potential risks related to cyberattacks, supply chain compromises and unauthorized access to our systems. As the company continues to make investments in and rely on additional, more complex and interconnected digital technology to enable efficient operations, the likelihood of a cyber-breach impacting our business increases. The board is responsible for overseeing Hydro One's material cybersecurity, physical security, data privacy and information technology infrastructure, policies and programs. The audit committee receives updates from our Chief Security Officer on a quarterly basis. Further, the audit committee is responsible for the adequacy and quality of the company's cyber security and information technology systems, policies and programs and regularly receives IT and cybersecurity update reports as well as reports on cybersecurity and supply chain risks.

To help ensure that all directors are versed in the rapidly evolving issue of cybersecurity, in August 2022, the board engaged in a cybersecurity tabletop exercise where it was given exposure to how a cybersecurity incident would be managed.

The company manages cyber-related risks by establishing a common set of cybersecurity standards, periodic security testing, program maturity objectives, security partnerships and a unified security strategy built on a set of cybersecurity standards driven by the OEB. This Ontario specific set of standards is in alignment with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cyber Security Framework. In addition to provincial regulatory requirements of the OEB, critical systems that support the North American Bulk Electric System are regulated by the North American Electric Reliability Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards. These two foundational frameworks establish strong security measures across all aspects of our operations.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 51

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Stakeholder Engagement

Hydro One is committed to understanding the interests of and maintaining and enhancing long-term relationships with our investors, regulators, governments, creditors, employees, customers, suppliers, non-governmental organizations, partners and other stakeholders and communities in which we operate. The board has a Corporate-Shareholder and Stakeholder Engagement Policy to promote open, effective and sustained dialogue with our shareholders and partners consistent with the company's Insider Trading Policy and the Corporate Disclosure Policy and with our obligations to provide fair disclosure and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures.

The board chair and other independent directors meet with shareholders and investor groups throughout the year on a variety of issues both with, and independently from, management.

Hydro One had a strong year of global investor engagement with a resumption in conferences and non-deal roadshows following a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stakeholder engagement, whether in a virtual, hybrid or in-person setting, remained a vital part of maintaining an open and effective dialogue between our shareholders, management, and the board. Successfully executing the company's engagement strategy to keep investors informed this year was more important than ever as Hydro One underwent several key milestones including a CEO change, regulatory approval of our first-ever Joint Rate Application, and the announcement of a leading First Nations partnership model. We continued attending industry conferences, hosting non-deal roadshows and increasing our engagement with investors globally. Below is a summary of engagement the board and management participated in with shareholders in 2022.

52 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Engaging with our customers, partners, stakeholders and Indigenous communities continues to be critical to addressing their evolving needs. Throughout 2022, the company leveraged technology to engage with an even greater number of stakeholders and community members successfully and meaningfully. Below is a snapshot of how Hydro One engaged with some of our largest stakeholders in 2022:

Customers

• After reaching record-high customer satisfaction results in 2021 (89%), customers across all segments continue to be very satisfied with the service they receive from Hydro One. Despite a marginal decline in 2022, overall customer satisfaction (CSAT) among residential and small business customers remained at a high level and above target at 87%.

• Customer Care won the Chartwell Gold Best Practices awards in the Customer Service category for its Level UP Program. As part of the program, in early 2021 the Customer Care team identified key impacts and challenges to customer service resulting from the global pandemic and the unfamiliar shift to a remote environment. The team moved quickly to develop Level UP, a continuous improvement initiative that improved the customer experience, boosted staff morale, and enhanced Hydro One's brand externally.

• Early in the year, we launched an AI driven voice analytics solution in our contact centre. This project uses speech analytics software to analyze calls and identify why customers are calling us, the sentiments underlying different types of calls, and how content and sentiment fluctuate over time. The goal for 2023 is to implement an enhanced interaction analytics solutions across different channels (i.e., calls, email, webchat) to systematically analyze the thousands of interactions we have with our customers. These insights will help us gain additional visibility and allow us to make improvements to the call experience and to our training programs, and develop new service offerings. This will empower business intelligence decision-making and create the next generation of Customer Experience.

• Over the May 2022 long weekend, Ontario was hit by a derecho windstorm resulting in an extreme weather event impacting over 760,000 customers. 2,000 poles were broken, and the weather created hazardous working conditions resulting in customers experiencing long-duration power outages. Customer Care leveraged its text broadcast message service for the first time to proactively share what efforts were underway to restore power across the province. Circa 500,000 text messages were sent, which received positive feedback and appreciation. During the storm, customers were encouraged to text STAT to Hydro One to receive status updates on our restoration efforts, which reduced the number of calls to the contact centre and provided convenient information to customers. Since then, the Customer Care team has proactively alerted customers of potential outages due to approaching storms.

Large

Customers

• During the two years prior to 2022, the new connection focus for large customers was the greenhouse industry. In 2022, the focus has been supporting the electric vehicle industry. In conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development there have been numerous proposals presented to various companies, with service sizes ranging from 150 MW to 600 MW, having short connection horizons for services of that magnitude. As of December 2022, we have worked with various utilities, municipalities, and the Province to land two large proponents to start the onset of the industry in Ontario. One of them is locating near Windsor and the other near Kingston.

• In order to effectively manage the costs associated with electricity, customers have become increasingly interested in energy storage solutions. Traditionally, these solutions have been viewed as generation connections, which need to meet strict technical requirements. We have been working with our customers, energy consultants, and storage manufacturers as well as our planning teams to mitigate these technical hurdles to facilitate faster and more cost-effective installation of storage devices.

• Traditionally, reliability from a utility perspective is measured by SAIDI, which measures the average duration that customers experience sustained outages. There are numerous types of customers where momentary outages (less than 60 seconds) are just as damaging as a sustained outage. Presently, utilities are not required to track such outages but, due to the impact of such outages to customers, we have created a Momentary Outage Tracker specific to Large Distribution Customers and embedded Local Distribution Companies. This will allow us to work on solutions on how to minimize these events.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 53

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Communities

• Hydro One's community investment initiatives continue to have a meaningful impact in communities across Ontario.

• We work with a select number of signature charitable partners who are aligned with our value of Safety Comes First.

• Highlights of these partnerships include:

- Scouts Canada: The Grizzly Den program builds safer communities by providing youth with the opportunity to expand their outdoor skills and improve their safety planning.

- ACT Foundation: Our longstanding support of this CPR/AED training program was expanded to include training for high school students on how to identify and respond to a suspected opioid overdose.

• We also supported Indigenous communities in Ontario through the creation of multi-year partnerships focused on cultural preservation, such as language preservation programs to connect youth back to their culture.

• Our community investment work also focuses on addressing pressing local needs through the Energizing Life Community Fund. Through this fund, Hydro One made contributions of $25,000 to 24 different municipalities, Indigenous communities, and charities across the province.

• We strive to build trust with the communities in which we operate. This means maintaining open lines of communication with communities, while being ready and willing to address issues and concerns when they arise. For capital projects, it begins with involving communities and stakeholders early in the project lifecycle - actively listening, incorporating feedback where possible and working collaboratively with interested community members to mitigate local concerns and project risk alike.

• For all new major projects, Hydro One has an overriding principle of ensuring communities share in the benefits of the development of critical infrastructure. This will be accomplished through formal, negotiated Community Support Agreements (CSAs) - similar to what was achieved with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, which explicitly supports five critical transmission lines in the Southwest, a capital spend totalling $2.8 billion over 10 years. These agreements will necessarily balance shareholder and community interests and be a central feature of our efforts to proactively demonstrate long-term commitment to the communities where we operate.

• In addition to CSAs, we use a variety of community engagement tools and forums to involve communities and stakeholders in our capital program. In 2022, through online forums, virtual and in-person open houses, door-knocking campaigns, targeted ads and notifications, council presentations and one-on-one meetings, we successfully engaged with over 13,900 community members in Southwest and Northern Ontario, as well as Toronto, in support of major capital work.

54 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Indigenous Peoples

• In 2022 we continued to implement our corporate Indigenous Relations Policy to guide our efforts toward becoming a trusted partner to Indigenous communities through supporting meaningful economic reconciliation.

• Hydro One committed to increasing our Indigenous spend to 5% of all our sourceable procurement by 2026. In 2022 our Indigenous procurement spend was $95.9 million, which was approximately 5.2% of total sourceable spend. This year's Indigenous procurement spend was the highest to date and surpassed our target for 2022.

• As part of our community investment program, we are committed to ensuring that 20% of our corporate donations and sponsorships support Indigenous communities. For example, Hydro One is proud to partner with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business to invest in the success of 28 Indigenous-owned businesses through the provision of grants. Those businesses play a critical role in the economy.

• To enhance Indigenous employment at Hydro One, we undertook an Indigenous Employment Review in 2022 that helped identify the key barriers and formulate possible solutions to help overcome those obstacles and increase Indigenous participation in our workforce.

• In 2022 we undertook a significant step to meaningful economic reconciliation with Indigenous communities and announced our Equity Partnership model that offers 50% of equity in all new greenfield transmission line projects to impacted First Nations. We have signed term sheets with all First Nations on the Waasigan project in support of the model and the project itself.

Internal Controls and Management Information Systems

The board oversees the integrity and effectiveness of our management information systems and internal controls, and approves our Corporate Disclosure Policy. This oversight is carried out primarily by the audit committee, which oversees our financial reporting, and management's processes related to the evaluation and certification of the design and effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The audit committee meets separately with the Chief Financial Officer and head of internal audit and with the external auditors without management present. The audit committee receives regular reports from management and the internal audit department on our internal controls and any significant deficiencies in controls. While the HRC has oversight responsibilities for Hydro One's Code of Business Conduct and Whistleblower Policy, the audit committee is notified of any complaints about accounting or auditing matters.

62 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

I - Letter to Shareholders

Dear fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of Hydro One's Human Resources Committee (Human Resources Committee or HRC) and the board of directors (the board), I am pleased to share our report on executive compensation.

Hydro One's executive compensation program is designed to support our corporate vision and strategy with a commitment to explain our approach in a simple and transparent manner. Our compensation philosophy is based on the principle of pay-at-risk tied to explicit performance results that create value for all stakeholders.

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) that follows provides a comprehensive overview of our 2022 compensation practices and also provides a preview of our updated executive compensation program effective as of January 1, 2023. The CD&A describes how the company's compensation programs reward our named executive officers (collectively, the named executive officers or NEOs) and align their efforts with the organization's long-term performance objectives.

The HRC oversees all aspects of human resources, including talent management, succession planning, executive compensation and labour relations, as part of our ongoing board efforts to meet the expectations of all Hydro One stakeholders. The HRC carefully assesses and makes recommendations to the board on how performance measures and targets are determined. These measures reflect the company's pay-for- performance philosophy, as well as short- and long-term strategic priorities.

As always, our targets must be achieved within the principles of prudent risk management, good corporate governance, and compliance with relevant standards and regulations. Guided by these principles, the HRC oversees on behalf of the board the establishment of the company's performance goals and assesses our executive compensation program, including payouts for the executive team, while continuously seeking to improve our practices and standards.

Executive Leadership Team Appointments

On January 10, 2023, Hydro One announced the appointment of David Lebeter as the new President and CEO, effective February 1, 2023. As he fills vacancies on the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), Mr. Lebeter also continues in his role as the Chief Operating Officer, a role he assumed in January 2020. Mr. Lebeter's appointment attests to Hydro One's strong talent development and succession planning culture. The previous President & CEO, Mark Poweska, stepped down on June 21, 2022 to assume a position at a utility closer to his family in Western Canada. William Sheffield, a member of the board since 2018, held the President and CEO role on an interim basis, from June 21, 2022 to February 1, 2023.

Jason Fitzsimmons stepped down as Chief Corporate Affairs and Customer Care Officer, to accept his appointment as Deputy Minister of Energy for the Government of Ontario. We thank him for his service and wish him well serving the people of Ontario. Megan Telford, Chief Human Resources Officer took over the Chief Corporate Affairs and Customer Care role on an interim basis.

The HRC and the board are confident that the ELT continues to be well equipped to work with Mr. Lebeter in achieving the organization's corporate strategy and helping to power the province's economic recovery.

Having leveraged our robust and effective succession program this year, Hydro One remains committed to a rigorous ongoing succession planning process to identify, assess and develop leaders and ensure strong and diverse leadership for the organization into the future. With increased focus on ELT development,

succession planning, and an awareness of the external market, the organization is well placed to execute our strategy of driving value creation for our stakeholders and in responding to challenges that may arise.

2022 HRC Priorities

Supporting Customers and Communities - Hydro One continued to put people first by supporting customers with financial assistance, flexibility and choice.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 63

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Environment, Social and Governance - Hydro One remains committed to expanding our ESG focus by pursuing key initiatives across our priority areas of People, Planet and the Community.

In 2022, we partnered with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business to provide business grants to 28 Indigenous-owned businesses.

We continued to strive for best-in-class safety performance in order to achieve our safety objectives.

Strategy - Following the approval and launch of Hydro One's renewed People Strategy in 2021, significant efforts were directed towards implementation and alignment of initiatives aligned with, and in support of this strategy. Our Strategy outlines the services, programs, and experiences required to successfully enable performance, productivity, and engagement of our people across the company, and is underpinned by four pillars: (1) We are heard, valued and belong, (2) We are safe, well and ready to perform, (3) We are supported and equipped to win, and (4) We are ready for our future.

Talent Management - We pursued a number of initiatives to strengthen engagement of Hydro One employees and respond to a tightening labour market for key skills. We conducted the second annual corporate-wide employee engagement survey, refreshed our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) strategy, provided ongoing ELT development programs, and prepared for the hybrid work environment.

Compensation Decisions in 2022

Our employees continued to deliver strong results in 2022, notwithstanding the impact of a number of major weather events and continued impact of COVID-19, now in the third year of ongoing social and economic disruption. The outcomes of our incentive plans recognize and reward employees for their tireless commitment and resilience balancing the interests of all stakeholders, including the need for prudent fiscal management during this period of economic uncertainty and recovery.

In 2022, no adjustments were made to either the Short-term Incentive Plan (STIP) or 2022 cash-settled Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP) from the performance measures and targets established at the beginning of the year.

The HRC continues to monitor market trends to ensure the organization responds to all stakeholder needs with appropriate approaches to compensation and governance.

2022 Highlights

Hydro One delivered strong performance against our objectives in 2022 including advances on several key objectives. This achievement was significant as the company continued to deal with the lingering effects of the pandemic, especially during the first half of the year, and had to face the impact of two major storms. Throughout, Hydro One has remained committed to supporting our customers and employees, maintaining a safe and reliable supply of electricity and executing on our Ontario-focused strategy.

Guided by our purpose of energizing life in Ontario, we look to the future and what we can do today to benefit all Ontarians in the energy transition. Key highlights for 2022 include:

Outstanding Safety Performance

We achieved the best safety record in our history, posting a recordable injury rate of 0.616 per 200,000 hours. Hydro One saw a significant reduction in the number of high-energy serious injuries from 2021, with one employee sustaining a high-energy serious injury, compared to four in 2021. This equates to a High-Energy Serious Injury and Fatality (HSIF) rate of 0.012 per 200,000 hours, well below our annual target of 0.066.

Partnership with First Nations

We launched our equity partnership model on new capital transmission line projects with a value exceeding $100 million. This model will offer First Nations a 50% equity stake in all new, future large-scale capital transmission line projects. This model will be applied to the development of the Waasigan Transmission Line project in northwestern Ontario and to five transmission lines Hydro One is developing in southwestern Ontario.

Progressive Indigenous Relations

As part of our commitment to being a trusted partner to Indigenous communities, this year we also increased total procurement with Indigenous businesses to approximately $95.9 million, our highest spend to date. This is a significant increase from last year's total of approximately $58.3 million and has us well on our journey to achieve our procurement target for Indigenous businesses at 5% of our purchases of materials and services by 2026.

64 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Critical Capital Investments

To attract new businesses, create jobs and help communities grow, we invested approximately $2.1 billion in capital to expand the electricity grid and renew and modernize existing infrastructure. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) approved the settlement agreement for our 2023-2027 Investment Plan for Hydro One's transmission and distribution systems. The plan, informed by feedback from almost 50,000 customers, will reduce the impacts of power outages, renew and replace critical transmission and distribution infrastructure, enable economic growth and prepare for climate change.

Energizing Life in Ontario Communities

Our 2022 Power to Give campaign was our most successful fundraising year for our employee giving program. Thanks to the generous spirit of Hydro One employees and retirees, we, including Hydro One's corporate match, increased the total contribution of Power to Give to approximately $2.2 million. Each and every one of us has the Power to Give and it is initiatives like these that build, strengthen and energize life in communities across Ontario.

Focusing on Customer Satisfaction

We continued to demonstrate our commitment to customers and communities through our restoration work and keeping our customers informed during major storms, as well as initiatives including the Energizing Life Community Fund and the Winter Relief Fund. Residential and small business customer satisfaction stood at 87%. Large customer satisfaction stood at 88%.

Commitment to Sustainability

In January 2022, Hydro One successfully closed amending agreements to its syndicated lines of credit to incorporate ESG targets to include a pricing adjustment which can increase or decrease Hydro One's cost of funding based on its performance on certain Sustainability Performance Measures. In January 2023, we became the first utility in Canada to publish a Sustainable Financing Framework, which allows us to issue sustainable financing instruments, such as green bonds, and allocate the net proceeds to investments

in eligible green and social project categories - such as clean energy and transportation, biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, socio-economic advancement of Indigenous people and access to essential services i.e. high-speed broadband internet.

More Productivity Savings

In 2022, we achieved an approximately 9% increase in year-over-year productivity savings with approximately $373.6 million saved in 2022 as compared to approximately $343.9 million in 2021. We also delivered on our multi-year commitment to keep costs as low as possible with a total of approximately $1.5 billion in productivity savings since 2015.

Best Employer, 8th Year

For the eighth year in a row, Hydro One has been recognized on Forbes' annual list of Canada's Best Employers. The company's performance ranking is based on employees and other professionals recommending Hydro One as a desirable employer.

13th Emergency Response Award

Hydro One earned two emergency response awards bringing the total to 13 emergency response awards from the Edison Electric Institute for restoring power. These awards demonstrate our longstanding commitment to storm response and restoration efforts.

Executive Compensation Program Overview

The company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate executives, offering compensation opportunities in a pay-for-performance environment that considers all stakeholders. The program is designed to incentivize executives to achieve our corporate strategy and enhance long-term shareholder value.

Incentive Plan Results

Hydro One's compensation philosophy is based on the principle of pay-at-risk being tied to performance results in order to create value for all stakeholders.

Based on the 2022 corporate scorecard focused on key operating metrics, the board approved an annual STIP payout of 126.53% of target. Executives subject to the executive compensation framework were capped at 100% of target award. A full description of the 2022 corporate scorecard performance measures and results are provided under Short-term Incentive Decisions for 2022 commencing on page 80.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 65

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Based on 2020 to 2022 performance against established corporate measures, the board approved a 2020 LTIP payout of 149.91% of target. Executives subject to the executive compensation framework were capped at 100% of target award. Detailed results are provided under Long-term Incentive Decisions for 2022 commencing on page 88.

In 2022, Hydro One's executive compensation program was in compliance with the Hydro One Accountability Act (Hydro One Accountability Act or HOAA) and the directive (the directive) issued by the Ontario Management Board of Cabinet (Management Board of Cabinet) on February 21, 2019 pursuant to the HOAA. Details of Hydro One's executive compensation framework can be found starting on page 68.

2023 Priorities

Hydro One's people and culture continue to be critical to the successful execution of the company's corporate strategy and in 2023 we will continue to focus on the implementation of our People Strategy. We will continue to empower our employees as we nurture a culture that will allow us to realize our purpose of energizing life

in Ontario.

A key area of our focus in 2023 will be to support Mr. Lebeter as he fills the vacancies on the ELT, in support of the company's corporate strategy.

In 2023, the HRC will monitor the execution of Hydro One's corporate strategy and the continued evolution of an organizational culture which promotes development, accountability and a healthy work environment.

Advancing our efforts on diversity, equity and inclusion across all levels of employment remains a priority. In 2023, the HRC will continue to oversee the execution of the strategy to ensure Hydro One delivers on our commitment to enhance DEI.

In 2023, we will work with management to update the executive compensation program to further align to our pre-existing compensation philosophy. The updated executive compensation program will greater align Hydro One's executive rewards philosophy with the competitive market. Key elements of the updated executive compensation program are outlined below:

a new peer group for compensation purposes to better align with our competitive market,

a compensation structure that reflects market practices,

compensation targets set in reference to the market, over time,

a new equity-based Long-term Incentive Plan, and

incentive payouts aligned with pay-for-performance principles.

As outlined above in this circular and in Hydro One's Sustainability Report, the company already directly links the outcome of ESG measures to compensation. In 2023, the HRC and the board will work with the ELT to develop plans to strengthen the integration of ESG into our compensation plans.

The HRC and board of directors remain committed to open and transparent communication about our executive compensation program. We trust the CD&A provides you with clear and relevant information that allows you to understand and evaluate our executive compensation program and practices, and to cast an informed 'say on pay' vote at the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders. We welcome your comments and questions and invite you to submit them by email c/o the Corporate Secretary at CorporateSecretary@hydroone.com.

Sincerely,

66 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

B. Executive Compensation Framework

In 2022 the company was subject to an executive compensation framework established pursuant to the Hydro One Accountability Act, 2018 and approved by the Management Board of Cabinet in March 2019. The directive set out certain requirements for compensation of Hydro One's executives.

Hydro One remained committed to attracting, retaining and motivating the talent necessary to achieve its strategy, through reasonable compensation programs which include a base salary, short- and long-term incentives, and pension and benefits within the compensation framework.

This compensation framework remained in place for 2022 and was designed to adhere to the requirements set forth in the Hydro One Accountability Act, 2018 which were proclaimed in force by the Province of Ontario on August 15, 2018.

Key elements of the executive compensation framework included, among other things:

maximum total direct compensation (base salary, short-term incentive and long-term incentive) of $1,500,000 for the President and CEO in 2019 ($1,531,500 in 2020 reflecting an increase of 2.1%, $1,542,221 in 2021 reflecting an increase of 0.7%, and $1,604,488 in 2022 reflecting an increase of 4.0%, as aligned with the legislative requirements described below);

maximum total direct compensation for other executives no greater than 75% of the President and CEO's total direct compensation;

the maximum total direct compensation could be adjusted annually by the lesser of the rate of Ontario Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the annual rate at which total maximum direct compensation was adjusted for non-executive managerial employees;

68 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

pension and benefits entitlements were not to be in excess of those provided to non-executive managerial employees; and

other bonuses (including signing bonuses), perquisites, or share options were not permitted.

Named Executive Officer Pay Benchmarking

Human Resources Committee

One of the HRC's responsibilities is to assist the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the delivery of sustained corporate results through the attraction and retention of key senior management (see "Corporate Governance - Committee Reports - Human Resources Committee" starting on page 60).

All HRC members have gained the following relevant experience in human resources and compensation by serving as an executive officer (or equivalent) of a major organization and/or through prior service on the human resources committee of a stock exchange-listed company or otherwise, and through ongoing board of directors and committee education sessions. HRC members have a wide array of talent management responsibilities as per the broad mandate of the HRC. The following are specific areas of experience and expertise related to total rewards:

human resources experience (experience with benefit, pension and compensation programs particularly executive compensation);

risk management experience (knowledge and experience with internal risk controls, risk assessments and reporting as it pertains to executive compensation); and

executive leadership experience (experience as a senior executive/officer of a public company or major organization).

Please refer to the biographies of our HRC members starting on page 18 and details of their additional skills and experience described on page 37.

Compensation Advisors

The HRC engages with independent, external consultants for advice and consultation on executive and director compensation matters.

Since October 2018, Mercer (Canada) Limited (Mercer) has served as the independent consultant to the HRC, providing data and advice to assist the committee in carrying out its mandate.

All decisions and actions taken by the HRC and the board have been based on numerous factors and considerations which may, but do not necessarily, reflect the information provided by, or advice of, the advisors.

Aggregate compensation advisor fees (rounded and including taxes) paid to Mercer for executive compensation or related services provided to the HRC during 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

In 2021 and 2022, Mercer provided specific market compensation benchmarking analysis in the form of a custom compensation survey directed by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for purposes of our joint (distribution and transmission) rate application filing before the OEB. This analysis is not related to executive compensation. While the HRC is not required to approve work related to the OEB benchmarking study prior to completion, the work is completed by a separate Mercer consultant distinct from the one providing advice to the HRC. No fees other than for executive compensation or related matters were charged by the independent advisor in either 2021 or 2022 for work requested by the HRC or board.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Peer Group

In 2019, the board engaged Mercer to perform a comprehensive review of Hydro One's executive compensation program. As part of this review, Mercer developed an updated compensation peer group that consists of 13 Canadian organizations, including publicly traded organizations in the energy and utilities industries and large government-owned utilities. This peer group remained unchanged for 2022, with the exception of removing Inter Pipeline Ltd. which was acquired by Brookfield Infrastructure in the fourth quarter of 2021, and reflects:

Hydro One's core business as Canada's largest electricity transmission and distribution service provider;

the unique dynamic of Hydro One's ownership structure, recognizing the complexity of a publicly traded company with significant investment by the Province of Ontario; and

the particular considerations inherent with highly regulated organizations having large societal impact.

This peer group was used to inform total direct compensation design for Hydro One's NEOs, each of whom is required to possess a high level of skill and proven experience leading large and complex organizations. The compensation for Hydro One's NEOs has been structured to comply with the requirements of the Hydro One Accountability Act, and therefore has not been targeted to a specific percentile (such as the median) of this peer group. In line with peer practices and consistent with Hydro One's compensation philosophy, NEO total direct compensation is aligned with clear performance measures and stakeholder expectations over the short- and long-term.

For details on the NEOs' 2022 target total direct compensation, see Target Compensation Mix on page 90.

Primary Compensation Reference Peer Group

Reference peers were selected based on a number of considerations including industry, size and ownership structure (i.e., private- and public-sector organizations). The organizations selected were similar in size

to Hydro One and Hydro One is currently positioned above the 50th percentile of the peer group for each scoping criterion.

Total assets and total revenues are calculated using data for the most recently reported 12-month period ending December 31, 2022.

2.

Peer information included in this chart was prepared by Mercer using data from S&P Capital IQ.

3.

The market capitalization of Hydro One was approximately $21.7 billion and its total enterprise value was approximately $36.4 billion as at December 31, 2022.

4.

Market capitalization is calculated based on the number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the closing share price and total enterprise value is calculated based on market capitalization plus net debt. Public sector organizations are excluded from these statistics as market capitalization and total enterprise value cannot be calculated.

Executive Compensation Program Changes Planned for 2023

In 2023, Hydro One is updating the executive compensation program to further align to our updated compensation philosophy. The updated executive compensation program aligns Hydro One's executive pay and structure with the competitive market. Further details are outlined in the letter to shareholders on page 66.

In conjunction with the updates being introduced to the executive compensation program, a new peer group is being adopted for compensation reference purposes. The new peer group is more reflective of the company's competitive market and will be included in next year's management information circular.

Compensation Governance

i.

Risk Management Process

Hydro One's executive compensation program is structured to provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with the company's risk profile and to ensure that compensation practices do not encourage excessive risk-taking by executives, all within legislative constraints. Such risk mitigation practices include the compensation practices outlined below. Hydro One's compensation practices are reviewed annually by the HRC to ensure they align with the company's strategic plans, risk profile and risk management principles.

ii.

Compensation Practices

Practice

Description

Anti-Hedging

Directors, executives and other employees are prohibited from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge, offset or otherwise reduce or limit their economic risk, including with respect to a decrease in market value of equity securities of the company granted, as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by such individuals, or otherwise undermining their alignment with shareholder interests, except with the prior written approval of the Human Resources Committee.

Prohibited transactions include hedging strategies, equity monetization transactions, transactions using short sales, put options, call options, exchange contracts, derivatives and other types of financial instruments (including, but not limited to, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds), and the pledging of or granting of any other security interest in equity securities of the company as security for any loan where recourse is limited to the pledged security.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 71

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Practice

Description

Clawbacks

Executives may be required to forfeit outstanding incentive awards and repay incentive compensation that has already been paid if, among other things, there is wrongdoing, misconduct, a material misstatement of Hydro One's financial results, an error in any financial or operating measure used to determine incentive compensation amounts, or as may be required by applicable laws, stock exchange rules or other regulatory requirements. This applies to cash bonuses, Options, Performance Share Units (PSUs), Restricted Share Units (RSUs), other equity-based compensation and performance cash-settled LTIP awards, whether vested or unvested, including those which have been paid or settled.

Incentive

Compensation

Adjustments -

Principles and

Practices

Hydro One is committed to meeting all targets established at the outset of the incentive compensation performance periods. However, exceptional circumstances outside of management's control may occur.

The HRC has established principles and practices for incentive compensation adjustments.

The purpose of these principles and practices is to provide clarity on the circumstances and process for considering any such exceptions.

Share Ownership

Requirements(1)

To better align the interests of the company's executives with the interests of Hydro One's shareholders, the company has share ownership requirements based on the level of the position. Under these requirements, the company's executives are subject to share ownership requirements which can be met through direct or beneficial ownership of the company's common shares, management deferred share units (management DSUs), and 25% of performance cash-settled LTIP grants(1). Individuals have until the later of seven years from: (a) the closing date of the initial public offering of Hydro One's shares in November 2015; and (b) the date they first became subject to the share ownership requirements.

Executives who are promoted to a level with a higher share ownership requirement have until the seventh anniversary of the date of their promotion to meet their new share ownership requirement. The executives must generally maintain the ownership level as of the date of retirement for 24 months (in the case of the President and CEO) or 12 months (in the case of other executives).

For purposes of assessing the requirement, 25% of the target value of outstanding cash-settled LTIP is counted during the vesting period. This practice reflects the company's inability to grant equity-based awards (which would count toward the requirement), under the executive compensation framework. The expectation is upon the vesting of cash-settled LTIP awards, executives will use a portion of the proceeds to purchase common shares. Once cash-settled awards have vested they are not counted toward the achievement of ongoing share ownership requirements.

The share ownership requirements as a multiple of annual base salary are set forth below:

President and CEO 3x
EVP or equivalent Direct Report to the President and CEO 2x
All Other Executives - SVP or equivalent, and Vice President Level or equivalent 1x

Trading

Restrictions

Executives are prohibited from trading Hydro One securities during our trading blackout period, and at any other time when they possess undisclosed material information.

Note:

1.

Cash-settled LTIP grants with 100% performance-based payouts were designed to continue the alignment of company performance with shareholder interests, while ensuring that compensation for Hydro One's executives also remained within the guidelines established by the executive compensation framework as described starting on page 68.

iii.

Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

At Hydro One, we are committed to being an industry leader in sustainability. We understand that our

long-term performance depends on incorporating sustainability into all aspects of our business. We remain focused on what matters - standing up for people, the planet and communities across Ontario.

The board oversees the company's approach to environmental, social and governance matters relating to the long-term health and sustainability of the company. This oversight includes reviewing and approving the company's key sustainability priorities, its program, and its annual sustainability report.

Hydro One directly links a variety of ESG measures to compensation outcomes through our STIP. The 2022 team scorecard includes Safety, System Reliability and Customer measures, with additional ESG indicators included on individual scorecards.

Hydro One releases an annual sustainability report and is committed to continuously increasing the transparency and accountability of our ESG disclosures. We are guided in our reporting by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) core standards; the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB); and our report is prepared broadly following the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial

72 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Disclosures (TCFD). In 2022, we integrated the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our reporting.

Hydro One continues to strengthen our commitment to ESG, with a focus on the three priority areas where we believe we can make the greatest impact.

In 2021, we made significant public commitments to advance our performance in these priority areas. We plan to annually review our priority areas and publicly report our progress on achieving these goals in our future sustainability reports.(1)

People: Hydro One strives for a workplace that reflects the diversity of Ontario where we live and work while ensuring that we build a corporate culture of dignity, respect, trust and belonging. Hydro One's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council was established to advocate for and help embed DEI throughout the company's social, governance and business practices. We have signed the BlackNorth Initiative Pledge and we are committed to achieving 3.5% Black executives and board directors and 5% Black student hires by 2025. Additionally, as a signatory to the Catalyst Accord, Hydro One is committed to achieving at least 30% female executives and board members. For more information on our DEI programs, please visit page 44.

Planet: Hydro One's unique position within Ontario's electricity landscape means we have a pivotal role to play in transmitting and distributing clean electricity across the province. We are committed to adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change in a complex business and regulatory environment. One of our key corporate strategies is to plan, design and build a grid for the future that is reliable, resilient and flexible. We disclose our independently assured Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions annually in our sustainability report. Under the board's oversight, we have also set ambitious climate reduction targets, committing to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, with an interim emissions reduction target of 30% by 2030. Key components of our emissions reduction strategy include: conversion of fleet vehicles to electric and hybrids; reducing the need for diesel generation at remote northern communities by connecting communities to the provincial electricity grid; and reducing sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) emissions. We will also explore new technologies to further reduce emissions. Hydro One is committed to reporting annually on our progress in achieving the company's climate change targets in our annual sustainability report.

In 2021, for the first time, we began aligning our climate disclosures to the recommendations of the TCFD. We recognize that implementing these TCFD recommendations within our company is a journey and we are committed to the continuous improvement of our TCFD reporting.

Community: Hydro One continues to stand with our partners - Indigenous communities, customers, industry stakeholders, government and all Ontarians- to build safer, more resilient communities and to promote a more equitable future for all. Hydro One is committed to respecting, engaging, and most importantly, listening to Indigenous communities to support advancing Indigenous reconciliation. We have committed to increasing our Indigenous procurement spend to 5% of the company's purchases of materials and services by 2026 and to ensuring that 20% of our corporate donations and sponsorships support Indigenous communities. For more information on our Indigenous Relations programs, please visit page 55.

Further information including details on our management and governance approach can be found in Hydro One's most recent sustainability report available at: https://www.hydroone.com/sustainability/.

iv.

Say on Pay

In accordance with Hydro One's corporate governance guidelines, the company will hold an advisory vote on the approach to executive compensation (say on pay). The purpose of a say on pay vote is to obtain shareholder input on executive compensation at each AGM.

The board believes that the shareholder say on pay vote forms an important part of the ongoing process of engagement between shareholders and the board on executive compensation.

At the meeting, shareholders will have an opportunity to vote on our approach to executive compensation through consideration of the following say on pay advisory resolution:

1.

See "Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements" starting on page 110.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 73

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

"Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the board of directors, that the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the management information circular delivered in advance of the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders of the company."

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the board. However, the board will take into account the results of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. The directors of the corporation remain responsible for overseeing the company's executive compensation practices and are not relieved of these responsibilities by an advisory vote by shareholders.

E.

Executive Compensation Decision-making Process

Hydro One's compensation decision-making process involves management, the HRC, independent compensation advisors, and the board for final approval. Outlined below is a general overview of the process the company has historically followed in determining compensation.

To promote robust decisions and analysis of recommendations, and to ensure the implications on diverse stakeholders are considered, management recommendations are initially brought forward at an HRC meeting and then reviewed and recommended to the board for approval at a subsequent meeting.

By having discussion and approvals conducted at separate meetings, we believe we are able to develop thoughtful solutions that consider the impacts of such on all of our stakeholders. If appropriate, additional analysis may be requested by the HRC or the board.

In 2022, the HRC continued to monitor the compensation program to ensure it was achieving its intended results and to understand the impact of the global pandemic on operations and stakeholders. The HRC may refine the program over time to ensure that it continues to be aligned with the company's strategy and long-term objectives.

The table below summarizes the company's compensation decision-making process.

2022 Short-term Incentive Plan (STIP)

Hydro One's STIP was designed to:

provide market competitive "pay-at-risk" necessary to attract, motivate and retain employees and executives;

reinforce strategic business objectives and a performance-oriented culture with significant elements of compensation-at-risk;

focus participants on the drivers of value creation; and

reward participants for achievement of annual corporate and individual performance goals.

78 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

All full-time non-union employees, including executives, are eligible to participate in the company's STIP. A summary of the components of the STIP is provided below.

Elements of the Short-term Incentive Plan

Impact on Award

How the Award is Determined

The amount of the award is a function of the executive's incentive target, corporate performance and individual performance.

For NEOs, awards are weighted 80% on achievement of corporate goals and 20% on achievement of individual goals.

Corporate Performance

Corporate performance is based on financial and non-financial measures, which seek to align corporate performance with the company's strategy as detailed in the corporate scorecard.

ESG and Other Non-Financial Measures

• Health and Safety - to reinforce the importance of keeping our employees safe

• Customer - Overall Favourable Impression - to align employees with customer perceptions of Hydro One

• Work Program - to align employees with regulatory and customer goals

Financial Measures

• Net Income - to increase shareholder value by increasing earnings

• Productivity Savings - to increase shareholder value by decreasing operating, maintenance and administration (OM&A) and capital-related costs

See pages 81 to 82 for more information about the performance measures and results related to the company's corporate scorecard.

Individual Performance

Individual performance is assessed based on the achievement of corporate-aligned performance objectives with a focus on delivering differentiated rewards to top performers. See each NEO's key accomplishments starting on page 84.

Range of Awards

Awards may range from 0 to 100% for the President and CEO and EVPs, and from 0 to 150% of target short-term incentive for employees who hold an SVP level role (and below), based on corporate and individual performance.

Human Resources Committee/ Board Judgment

The HRC considers whether adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect unusual or unanticipated events occurring during the performance period and recommends the "overall STIP performance multiplier" to the board for approval using informed judgment to ensure that compensation reflects the actual performance of the business.

Payout

The payout may be in cash or, at the option of an eligible executive, management DSUs. Management DSUs are fully vested notional shares and accrue dividend equivalents when dividends are paid on the common shares and are redeemable for cash at the prevailing market price of the common shares upon settlement, after the executive ceases to be employed.

Clawbacks

Amounts can be forfeited or clawed back under certain conditions. Specifically, an executive's STIP may be required to be repaid in situations where it later becomes clear that the performance metrics used to determine payment were not achieved, or in the event of a material restatement of the company's earnings (or other company-specific results) that significantly reduces shareholder value.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 79

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The STIP payout is calculated based on the following formula.

Note:

Consistent with the requirements of the executive compensation framework, STIP payouts for the President and CEO and EVPs are capped at 100% of the target award.

Short-term Incentive Decisions for 2022

1.

Corporate Performance Scorecard

Hydro One's corporate scorecard (scorecard) was developed by management and approved by the board, on the recommendation of the HRC, at the beginning of 2022. The scorecard performance measures were based on Hydro One's objectives and business plan for the year and established "threshold", "target", and "exceeds" performance levels for each performance measure. Hydro One's scorecard is a balanced scorecard measuring ESG, other non-financial and financial objectives with the aim of focusing the organization on key performance indicators that drive stakeholder value and align with the organization's strategy.

To establish the performance levels for each performance measure, management models a broad range of scenarios and provides benchmarking data to support the rationale behind the proposed measures and demonstrate the rigour embedded in the performance levels (threshold, target and exceeds) relative to similar organizations.

In addition, Hydro One continues to monitor comparators and emerging trends to ensure our approach is appropriate and aligned with best practice. The HRC, with input from its independent compensation advisors, had the opportunity to review and modify (as appropriate) the performance measures and levels before recommending the scorecard to the board for approval.

Hydro One is focused on corporate social responsibility and outlines its practices in its annual Sustainability Report. The scorecard is aligned with the sustainability issues that matter most to customers, employees, communities and shareholders including safety, improving reliability and customer favourability.

Payouts under the STIP for 2022 were based on Hydro One's corporate performance and each executive's individual performance relative to their personal scorecards. In determining the company's performance, the HRC reviewed management's assessment of Hydro One's performance against pre-established performance levels for each performance measure, and based on this and, using its informed judgment, approved the resulting performance payout.

The table starting on the next page sets out Hydro One's corporate performance measures and results for 2022. Based on the company's results, the HRC recommended, and the board approved, an overall STIP performance multiplier equal to 126.53% of the target for 2022 for the corporate component.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

1.

Hydro One Limited prepares and presents its financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). "Adjusted net income" is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures prepared by other companies. Adjusted net income is used by management of the company to assess the company's performance and is considered a useful metric to evaluate the company's current operations compared to the prior year because it excludes the impact of certain non-recurring costs or income. For a full description of this measure and, where applicable, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, please see the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Hydro One Limited which section is incorporated by reference herein and as filed under Hydro One Limited's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

82 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Overall, Hydro One drove strong performance against our objectives in 2022 including key advances on several measures:

Health and Safety: Hydro One once again achieved a best-in-class recordable injury rate of 0.616 per 200,000 hours, which is well below (better than) the world-class benchmark of 1.0 as well as the company's target for 2022. Hydro One also saw significant year-over-year improvement in the number of high-energy serious injuries, with only one employee sustaining a high-energy serious injury compared to four in 2021. This equates to a High-Energy Serious Injury and Fatality (HSIF) rate of 0.012 per 200,000 hours, which well exceeded (lower than) our annual target. Together, these results reflect the best safety record in Hydro One's history and the significant progress made in preventing life-altering injuries and fatalities.

Work Program: While Transmission (Tx) and Distribution (Dx) reliability results fell short of target, in part because of the severe storms experienced during the year, Hydro One continued to execute on its investment plan as Tx in-service additions were within 1% of target due to strong planning and execution across key projects. Furthermore, our ongoing commitment to storm response and restoration efforts for all customers and communities, in addition to a higher volume of customer connections during the year, resulted in Dx in-service additions significantly exceeding target during the period.

Adjusted Net Income: 2022 adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders was approximately 7% better than target, due in part to higher peak demand and electricity consumption.

Productivity Savings: In 2022, we beat our productivity targets and achieved an approximate 9% increase in year-over-year productivity savings with $373.6 million saved in 2022 as compared to $343.9 million in 2021. Hydro One continues to deliver on its multi-year commitment to keep costs as low as possible, achieving approximately $1.5 billion in productivity savings since 2015.

Overall Favourable Impressions: Year-end overall favourable impression of 85% represents a record high since we started tracking the score in 2010 and reflects a 1-point improvement over 2021 results. These results reflect our proactive and comprehensive storm and outage communications strategy and ongoing offer of meaningful support for customers and communities alike.

The following details key accomplishments for each NEO during 2022:

Named Executive Officer

Key Accomplishments

Chris Lopez

Chief Financial Officer

Under Mr. Lopez's leadership, Hydro One continued to execute its 5-year Corporate Strategy and Development Roadmap, with execution of the company's strategic priorities remaining on track.

Mr. Lopez continues to oversee the successful execution of Hydro One's multi-year growth plan, which remains in line with stakeholder expectations for both the regulated and unregulated businesses. In 2022, under Mr. Lopez's leadership, Hydro One filed updated evidence in support of the company's Joint Rate Application for the unforeseen impacts of increasing inflationary pressures and was ultimately successful in receiving OEB approval of a settlement agreement. Furthermore, the Minister of Energy directed the OEB to amend Hydro One Networks Inc.'s transmission license to develop four new transmission lines in southwest Ontario.

In Hydro One's unregulated business, Mr. Lopez and his team guided the launch of Ivy's Home Charging Service offering, the advancement of various Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) opportunities, and a commercial trucking charging infrastructure agreement with Home Hardware.

In 2022, Mr. Lopez oversaw Hydro One's continued realization of productivity savings of $373.6 million, or approximately 9% higher than 2021, building on successes from earlier years.

Mr. Lopez also continued to enhance Hydro One's relationships with key stakeholders, including shareholders and debtholders. Over the last three years Hydro One has achieved a total shareholder return of 60%, and the company's stock price reached a new high of $38.27 during the year. Under Mr. Lopez's leadership, Hydro One also successfully amended its syndicated lines of credit to incorporate ESG targets and received board approval of its Sustainable Financing Framework, which was ultimately released early in 2023. As a result of timely and consistent outreach initiatives, the Company continues to realize significant oversubscription of new debt issues, strong credit ratings maintained by ratings agencies, stable outlooks and lower interest costs.

Paul Harricks

Chief Legal Officer

Under Mr. Harricks' leadership, Hydro One successfully concluded several important agreements and regulatory filings in 2022, while advancing key enterprise projects.

In 2022, Mr. Harricks jointly led the successful filing and defence of the company's Joint Rate Application, ultimately achieving the first-ever joint settlement on the largest application ever adjudicated by the OEB.

Under Mr. Harricks' direction, Hydro One further strengthened its relationship with the OEB by participating in its Reliability and Power Quality Review (RPQR) Working Group, and its Adjudicative Modernization Committee. The company also provided input into several other OEB initiatives including its Framework for Energy Innovation, Electric Vehicle Initiative, and Activity and Program-Based Benchmarking.

Mr. Harricks also oversaw Hydro One's participation in the IESO's Transmission and Distribution Coordination Working Group, and contributed to the EDA's submission on the IESO's Market Visions and Design Project.

Named Executive Officer

Key Accomplishments

David Lebeter

Chief Operating Officer

Under Mr. Lebeter's leadership, Hydro One successfully executed its corporate strategy, while maintaining the safe and reliable supply of electricity to Hydro One customers.

In 2022, Mr. Lebeter, together with Hydro One's Chief Safety Officer, oversaw the company's safest year of operations ever. Hydro One achieved a best-in-class recordable injury rate of 0.616 per 200,000 hours, and also achieved significant year-over-year improvement in the number of high-energy serious injuries, with only one employee sustaining a high-energy serious injury compared to four in 2021.

Led by Mr. Lebeter, the team oversaw Hydro One's response to several severe storms throughout the year, restoring power to hundreds of thousands of customers in Ontario and supporting neighbouring utilities on Canada's east coast with the restoration of power to residents of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. These strong efforts contributed to the receipt of two emergency response awards from the Edison Electric Institute during the year.

Mr. Lebeter also oversaw the implementation of six new customer service initiatives in the Distribution line of business which contributed to the company's achievement of record overall favourable impression score of 85% in 2022. Furthermore, Hydro One continued to build strong partnerships with Indigenous Peoples across the province including an increase in total procurement with Indigenous businesses to $95.9 million, the highest spend to date, as well as the announcement of the company's equity partnership model for new transmission line projects greater than $100 million.

As the executive sponsor for Mosaic - an employee resource group dedicated to advancing DEI - Mr. Lebeter oversaw the highest diversity in field-apprenticeship hiring in Hydro One's history.

Megan Telford

Chief Human Resources Officer

Under Ms. Telford's leadership, Hydro One successfully launched its new People strategy and advanced key talent, DEI and supporting operational initiatives.

In 2022, Ms. Telford oversaw the development and introduction of the four supporting pillars of Hydro One's People strategy: We are heard, valued, and belong; We are safe, well and ready to perform; We are supported and equipped to win; and, We are ready for our future. Key People strategy initiatives included the completion of a DEI Barrier review, with recommendations incorporated into the company's DEI roadmap; development of a Labour Relations Leadership Training and curriculum; launch of a new employee resource group Mentoring Program for Women in Trades, Technology and Engineering; the advancement of Hydro One's Future of Work hybrid work pilot, returning 2,000 office-based colleagues back into the workplace in person, at scale, for the first time since early 2020; and enhancement of the company's People Leader capabilities through its executive, senior leadership and middle management development programs.

Under Ms. Telford's direction, the Human Resources team executed its refreshed Talent Management strategy, advanced the company's succession plans, and finalized its ELT development and effectiveness program. Additionally, the team advanced its Human Resources Functional strategy and operating model, which involved redesigning key processes and aligning its organizational structure to deliver a higher quality, more streamlined and seamless customer experience.

Ms. Telford and the Chief Operating Officer continued to advance Hydro One's safety culture, implementing all 12 initiatives of the employee-led Safety Improvement Team, exceeding both Recordable Injury Rate and High-Energy Serious Injury and Fatality (HSIF) rate targets for the year. In particular, the Human Resources team directly supported work to safeguard, develop and protect apprentices, and the advancement of Hydro One's Trade Mentorship Program.

Ms. Telford oversaw the advancement of Hydro One's DEI strategy and became the Executive Sponsor of the new Black Employee Resource Circle, the ninth employee resource group. Under her guidance, Hydro One reached the highest diversity in field-apprenticeship hiring in its history.

Cash-settled Long-term Incentive Plan

Hydro One's long-term incentive plan (LTIP) was designed to:

provide market competitive compensation;

attract and retain highly qualified and experienced talent;

foster alignment with shareholder interests; and

reward executives for longer term value creation.

To align with the executive compensation framework, and ensure that executives do not exceed the maximum compensation levels, a cash-settled LTIP was introduced in 2019. The grants under this plan are not tied to Hydro One's share price, nor are they eligible for dividend equivalents. Therefore, no share-based awards or options were issued in 2022.

The Hydro One cash-settled LTIP provides strong alignment with shareholder interests as they are 100% performance based with the following performance measures:

EPS, which reward executives for delivering increased earnings to shareholders and includes the requirement that the dividend does not decrease in any rolling 12 months during the performance period;

productivity savings, which reward executives for achieving improvements in productivity and efficiency, which ultimately drive value for both shareholders and customers; and

relative TSR, which rewards executives for achieving shareholder returns that are consistent with or better than the returns provided by peer organizations.

86 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

LTIP is available to executives and certain non-union employees of Hydro One as determined by the HRC. Non-employee board members are not eligible to participate. A summary of the components of the current LTIP is as follows:

Elements of

the Long-term

Incentive

Program

Impact on Award

Types of Awards

Cash-Settled LTIP: An award that will be settled in cash in the future, subject to the achievement of specified performance criteria. The awards are not tied to Hydro One's share price nor do they accumulate dividend equivalents.

Vesting

Awards granted in 2022 vest after the three-year performance period (February 28, 2025), subject to a performance multiplier based on achievement of specific performance measures, unless otherwise determined by the HRC.

Performance

Multiplier

Each cash-settled LTIP award granted in 2022 is 100% performance based, subject to achieving certain performance levels for the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 (the performance period):

1. three-year average adjusted EPS (subject to a dividend rate modifier) - 62.5% weighting;

2. three-year productivity savings - 25% weighting; and

3. three-year relative TSR, (S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index) - 12.5% weighting.

The EPS and relative TSR performance measures demonstrate a commitment to achieving long-term growth for shareholders, which is consistent with or better than the growth delivered by other Canadian utilities, while the productivity measure is aligned with the company's strategic focus on operating efficiencies.

Three-year average EPS: The adjusted net income attributable to shareholders for such fiscal period divided by the average outstanding shares during such fiscal period.

Dividend rate: If the 12-month rolling average dividend rate during the performance period falls below the annualized quarterly dividend rate at the time of grant, a 0% modifier will be applied to the EPS performance multiplier. If the 12-month rolling average dividend rate during the performance period does not decrease from the level at grant, a 100% modifier will be applied to the EPS performance multiplier.

Three-year productivity measure: Hydro One's commitment to achieving incremental and continuous productivity improvements is central to the planning and execution of work programs across the company. Identified savings were quantified and embedded in the business plan having regard to the mutual benefit to customers and shareholders.

Relative TSR: Measures Hydro One's total shareholder return over the performance period relative to the total shareholder return for the S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index for the same period.

Range of

Awards

The LTIP payout is a function of the overall Performance Multiplier which is based on the three-year average EPS performance (62.5% weighting) with a dividend rate modifier, the productivity performance (25% weighting), and the relative TSR performance (12.5% weighting). Under the executive compensation framework, the total award is subject to an overall maximum payout of 100% for the President and CEO and EVPs, and 150% for all other participating employees.

Human

Resources

Committee/

Board Judgment

The HRC considers whether adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect unusual or unanticipated events occurring during the performance period and recommends the performance multiplier to the board for approval using informed judgment to ensure that compensation reflects the actual performance of the business.

Clawbacks

Amounts can be forfeited or clawed back under certain conditions. Specifically, an executive's vested long-term incentives may be required to be repaid in situations where it later becomes clear that the performance metrics used to determine payment were not achieved, or in the event of a material restatement of the company's earnings (or other company-specific results) that significantly reduces shareholder value.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 87

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Long-term Incentive Decisions for 2022

In 2020, the board of directors approved the grant of cash-settled LTIP awards to executives. The 2020 awards were aligned with the requirements of the executive compensation framework outlined starting on page 68, and 100% performance based. The 2020 awards included productivity savings, EPS performance measures with a dividend rate modifier, and relative TSR performance. These targets were established at the time of grant and were based on the approved business plan in place at the time. To establish the performance levels (threshold, target and exceeds) corresponding to the performance multipliers, management provided the HRC with modelling of a broad range of scenarios to support the rationale behind the proposed measures and demonstrate the rigour and stretch embedded in the performance levels.

Over the 2020 to 2022 performance period, Hydro One's three-year average adjusted EPS, productivity savings and TSR performance relative to the peer group were strong resulting in a performance multiplier of 149.91% for the 2020 grants. Since the 12-month rolling average dividend rate did not decrease during the three-year performance period, the dividend rate modifier for the 2020 award was 100.00%. These results reflect the organization's strong financial performance from 2020 to 2022.

88 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Notes:

1.

The LTIP productivity results over the 2020 to 2022 performance period are aligned with the methodology used to set targets at the time of grant. As a result, due to the differing inflation assumptions in place at the time of grant, productivity presented for LTIP will differ from that presented in other sections.

2.

Consistent with the requirements of the executive compensation framework, cash LTIP payouts for CEO and EVPs are capped at 100% of target.

2022 Long-term Incentive Grants Awarded

As previously described, in order to comply with the executive compensation framework, Hydro One changed its LTIP from a share-based plan to a cash-settled LTIP in 2019. The performance measures for the 2022 cash- settled LTIP grant consist of a three-year average EPS measure with a dividend rate modifier (62.5% weighting), a three-year productivity measure (25% weighting), and a three-year relative TSR measure (12.5% weighting).

Hydro One's commitment to achieving incremental and continuous productivity improvements is central to the planning and execution of work programs across the company. All known and anticipated quantifiable productivity improvements are included in the business plan with clear accountabilities for delivering the anticipated savings. The three-year productivity targets align directly with the productivity commitments presented in the approved 2023 to 2027 business plan.

Hydro One's relative TSR performance is compared to the S&P/TSX Capped Utilities index. The index was selected for comparison as it reflects an established grouping of Canadian publicly traded industry peers for Hydro One.

Comparison of 60 Month Cumulative Total Return(1)

Assumes Initial Investment of $100

December 2022

Note:

1. This chart includes dividends paid during the period, inclusive of re-invested dividends.

Hydro One continued its solid share performance in 2022 with a TSR of 13.7% as compared to a return of 10.6% for the S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index. This outperformance was achieved despite economic factors such as inflation and an increasing interest rate environment, demonstrating Hydro One's stability and its distinct and unique value proposition.

The company continues to deliver on its strategy of focusing on safety, reliability, customers, and Indigenous communities to build a grid for the future and support Ontario's economic growth. Steered by these principles, the company successfully completed its 2022 annual work plans and deployed capital investments of approximately $2.1 billion. 2022 was also a significant year for a number of key initiatives. First, Hydro One launched an industry-leading 50-50 equity model with First Nations on new large-scale transmission line projects. Second, the company received approval for its Joint Rate Application with the Ontario Energy Board, which includes its 2023-2027 Investment Plan for the company's transmission and distribution system. Finally, the company's transmission license was amended to develop four new transmission lines to meet the growing electricity demand in Southwest Ontario.

The board of directors and the management team continued their robust engagement with shareholders through the annual general shareholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and meetings with current and prospective shareholders. As the year progressed, the engagement transitioned from virtual to an in-person format.

The aggregate cost of NEO compensation changed from approximately $5.6 million in 2021 to approximately $6.0 million in 2022.

The 2021 aggregate NEO compensation cost does include the vested value of the LTIP granted in 2019, as the performance period for this award ended on December 31, 2021.

The aggregate NEO compensation reflects disclosure for five (5) NEOs in 2020. It does not include the value of cash-settled LTIP granted in 2020, as the grant will not vest until 2023.

4.

Values reflect adjusted net income to common shareholders. Hydro One Limited prepares and presents its financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). "Adjusted net income" is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures prepared by other companies. Adjusted net income is used by management of the company to assess the company's performance and is considered a useful metric to evaluate the company's current operations compared to the prior year because it excludes the impact of certain non-recurring costs or income. For a full description of this measure and, where applicable, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, please see the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Hydro One Limited which section is incorporated by reference herein and as filed under Hydro One Limited's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Fully Compliant with the Executive Compensation Framework (Supplemental Disclosure

In 2022, the company's executive compensation program was in full compliance with the Hydro One Accountability Act (HOAA) and the directive regarding executive and board compensation issued by the Ontario Management Board of Cabinet on February 21, 2019. The executive compensation framework requirements can be found starting on page 68. As part of our commitment to transparency with our customers, employees and shareholders, the following table reflects base salary and short- and long-term incentives awarded for the previous three years. To incentivize long-term performance and value, granted cash-settled LTIP awards pay out after three years.

Notes:

1.

Base Salary figures and methodology are consistent with what is reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

2.

Annual Incentive Plans figures and methodology are consistent with what is reported in the Summary Compensation Table. In 2022, Mr. Sheffield received a discretionary bonus of $200,000 for his interim role. Mr. Poweska was eligible but did not receive a payment under this plan due to his resignation prior to December 31, 2022.

3.

With the exception of Mr. Sheffield, Granted LTIP represents the grant date value of cash-settled LTIP awards granted in the year. This methodology differs from the Summary Compensation Table where cash-settled LTIP values are reported once the performance conditions are satisfied. Mr. Sheffield was not eligible to receive a cash-settled LTIP award. Instead, Mr. Sheffield received DSUs as part of his compensation for his interim role under the non-employee director deferred share unit plan.

4.

Total Direct Compensation is calculated as the sum of Base Salary, Annual Incentive Plans and Granted LTIP.

5.

Maximum Total Direct Compensation as outlined by the executive compensation framework of $1,500,000 for the President and CEO in 2019 ($1,531,500 in 2020 reflecting an increase of 2.1%, $1,542,221 in 2021 reflecting an increase of 0.7%, and $1,604,488 in 2022 reflecting an increase of 4.0%). The maximum total direct compensation for other executives must not exceed 75% of the President and CEO's total direct compensation.

6.

Mr. Sheffield is a non-employee board member and was appointed Interim President and CEO from June 21, 2022 to February 1, 2023.

7.

Mr. Lebeter was the Chief Operating Officer on December 31, 2022 and was appointed President and CEO effective February 1, 2023.

8.

Mr. Poweska held the President and CEO role until June 21, 2022 and left the company on September 21, 2022.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets out the compensation earned by the NEOs during the fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022, as applicable. Compensation in 2021 and 2022 is non-comparable with 2020 due to the company's move from share-based LTIP grants to cash-based LTIP grants to ensure compliance with the executive compensation framework (starting on page 68). Since share-based incentives are reported in the year they are awarded and cash-based incentives are reported in the year they are paid to NEOs, 2021 and 2022 amounts show the LTIP awards from 2019 and 2020, while 2020 amounts do not show LTIP amounts. Comparable compensation for 2020, 2021 and 2022 can be seen in the previous table.

Notes:

1.

Base salaries presented are actual amounts earned for fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022, as applicable. 2022 base salary for Mr. Sheffield reflects time worked in his interim role in 2022 (June 21 to December 31, 2022). 2022 base salary for Mr. Poweska reflects time worked in 2022 (January 1 to September 21, 2022). 2020 base salary for Mr. Lebeter reflects time worked in 2020 (January 2 to December 31, 2020). 2020 base salary for Ms. Telford reflects time worked in 2020 (September 28 to December 31, 2020). Ms. Telford's 2022 base salary includes a top-up for her interim role.

2.

Other than the grant of DSUs to Mr. Sheffield, no share- or option-based awards were granted in 2020, 2021 or 2022. Mr. Sheffield received DSUs as part of his compensation for his interim role under the non-employee director deferred share unit plan.

3.

The short-term incentive awards attributed to the noted financial year are based on a percentage of base salary and are paid following approval of performance multipliers by the board in the following year. Executives can elect to receive up to 100% of the award in management DSUs. Mr. Sheffield's incentive was a special one-time performance bonus for his interim role. Mr. Harricks elected to take 20% of his 2022 award in management DSUs. Mr. Lebeter elected to take 25% of his 2022 award in management DSUs. Mr. Poweska did not receive a 2022 award due to his resignation.

4.

For 2020, 2021 and 2022, a cash-settled performance-based LTIP award was granted to all NEOs as a percentage of their annual base salary, with the exception of Mr. Sheffield, who was not eligible. The actual payout for these awards at the time of vesting will be based on the achievement of predetermined corporate performance objectives which discerns the 2021 and 2022 disclosed compensation from 2020 disclosed compensation. The value of the cash-settled LTIP (see below in Outstanding Cash-settled LTIP table on page 97) does not appear in the summary compensation table in the year of grant and is instead reported in the year in which performance criteria were satisfied. The cash-settled award granted in 2020 vested on February 28, 2023 following the end of the performance period on December 31, 2022, and is included in 2022 compensation based on the performance multiplier achieved (100.00% for Messrs., Lopez, Harricks, and Lebeter and Ms. Telford). As a result, the 2021 and 2022 awards are not included in the table above, as the performance period for these grants will not end until 2023 and 2024, respectively. Mr. Poweska did not receive a 2020 cash-settled LTIP award payment due to his resignation.

5.

The pension value for NEOs participating in the DCPP reflects the employer contributions made to the pension plan and supplemental plan during 2022. These values do not reflect the employee contributions or the investment gains/losses for fiscal year 2022.

6.

All NEOs participate in the Management ESOP, except for Mr. Sheffield who was not eligible. Amounts represent the employer contributions to ESOP. Consistent with the executive compensation framework, none of the NEOs are entitled to perquisites or other personal benefits. Mr. Sheffield's amount represents his board retainer earned from January 1, 2022 to June 20, 2022. Mr. Sheffield elected to receive his board retainer in DSUs, under the non-employee director deferred share unit plan, and these amounts are reflected in the Directors' equity ownership table on page 26.

7.

Mr. Sheffield was appointed Interim President and CEO from June 21, 2022 to February 1, 2023.

8.

Mr. Lebeter was the Chief Operating Officer on December 31, 2022 and was appointed President and CEO effective February 1, 2023.

9.

Mr. Poweska held the President and CEO role until June 21, 2022 and left the company on September 21, 2022.

The value of cash-settled LTIP awards reflect values at 100% of target performance and are not tied to share price. The actual value at the end of the performance period will depend on the achievement of the pre-determined three-year performance metrics. Consistent with the requirements of the executive compensation framework, for EVPs and above, cash-settled LTIP payouts are capped at 100% of target. Mr. Poweska does not have any outstanding cash-settled LTIP awards and Mr. Sheffield was not eligible.

Termination and Change in Control Provisions

Each of the NEOs is a party to an employment agreement with Hydro One governing the terms of their employment. Mr. Lebeter and Mr. Lopez entered into new employment agreements in 2023 and the details will be provided in next year's management information circular. Due to the interim nature of his assignment, Mr. Sheffield's agreement did not have termination provisions.

Notes:

1.

The NEOs may voluntarily resign their employment at any time; Messrs. Lopez, Harricks, and Lebeter and Ms. Telford are required to give three (3) months' notice. Under the terms of a retention agreement the company has with Mr. Lopez, if he resigns he will receive a prorated short-term incentive award and accelerated vesting of outstanding unvested cash-settled LTIP awards (at 100% of target performance).

2.

All NEOs, with the exception of Mr. Lebeter, are considered to have 'retired' under the cash-settled LTIP if the retirement has been approved by the board, the NEO complies with such conditions as the board may require in connection with its approval, has given six (6) months prior notice, is paid no cash severance payment or retiring allowance or equivalent, and has complied with transitional activities as may be reasonably required during the period from the date of notice until the date the NEO ceases active employment. If these criteria are not satisfied, the termination of employment will be treated as a resignation, and the appropriate termination provisions will apply. For purposes of the LTIP, NEOs are considered to have retired if they reach age 65, reach age 55 with at least 10 years of service, or such lesser age and service threshold as the board determines. For purposes of the STIP, NEOs are considered to have retired if they reach age 55 or such lesser age and service threshold as the board determines. The board has applied its discretion and approved the following retirement treatment for any unvested LTIP grants that Mr. Lebeter is holding at the time of his retirement in the event of his retirement after completion of:

three (3) years of continuous service and providing at least six (6) months' notice of retirement, a portion of his unvested LTIP grants will continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule and subject to actual performance terms of the grant. The proration will be based on time worked during the vesting period, and,

ii.

five (5) years of continuous service and providing at least six (6) months' notice of retirement, all unvested LTIP grants will continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule and subject to actual performance terms of the grant.

3.

Mr. Lopez is entitled to 24 months of benefits continuation following termination of employment for any reason with the exception of termination for cause or reemployment. Hydro One does not ascribe a value for benefits continuation.

4.

The payout multiplier for Messrs. Lopez, Harricks, and Lebeter and Ms. Telford is 1.5x, and benefits will continue for 18 months.

5.

Treatment only applies to termination by the company without cause or in the case of Messrs. Harricks, and Lebeter in the case of resignation for good reason within 24 months following a change in control and only applies to awards made prior to the change in control. There is no entitlement to any benefit upon a change in control without a termination of employment from Hydro One. For Messrs. Harricks, and Lebeter, "good reason" is defined as a material change in title, responsibilities, authority or "status"; a material change in base pay or a material change in STIP or LTIP target opportunity without the opportunity for alternative compensation.

6.

A 'change in control' will occur in the following circumstances:

a.

more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the company are acquired;

b.

all or substantially all of the assets of the company are sold, assigned or transferred other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary;

c.

an acquisition of the company via merger, amalgamation, consolidation, statutory arrangement or otherwise or the dissolution or liquidation of the company;

d.

individuals who, at the beginning of any two-year period constitute the board of directors, cease to constitute a majority of the board during such two-year period excluding any individuals whose service ceased due to death;

e.

pursuant to its rights in the governance agreement, the Province replaces the entire board (other than the President and CEO) and, in its discretion, the chair of the board;

100 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

f.

a change is made to an Ontario law or regulation that:

i.

both (A) expressly states that it applies either (1) to Hydro One or an affiliate or (2) companies in the electrical transmission and/or distribution business generally but has a disproportionate effect on Hydro One and its affiliates as a whole, and (B) would materially adversely affect the ability of Hydro One to achieve any corporate performance measures set out in any outstanding awards; or

ii.

imposes limits on the quantum of compensation that may be paid to non-union employees of Hydro One or its affiliates other than restrictions established for rate approval or other purposes which do not restrict amounts actually paid; or

g.

the board passes a resolution confirming that a change in control has occurred.

7.

If a participant has five (5) years of service and has not committed an act or has not failed to take any action, that has resulted or could damage the company or its reputation, a pro rata portion of the participant's awards will vest.

The table below shows the incremental amounts that would become payable to the company's NEOs, if such events had occurred on December 31, 2022.

ii.

Equity-settled Long-term Incentive Plan

A summary of the key terms of the LTIP as in effect on December 31, 2022 are presented below. As of December 31, 2022, there are no outstanding grants under this plan.

Types of Awards

PSUs and RSUs.

Options. An option is the right to acquire a common share on a future date on payment of the exercise price. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. The term of an option may not exceed 10 years, unless extended due to the existence of a company trading blackout period.

While none of the following have been granted, the LTIP also contemplates the possibility of grants of:

• Restricted shares. A restricted share award is an award of common shares subject to forfeiture restrictions.

• DSUs. A DSU is an award that entitles the participant to receive common shares following termination of employment or service with the company. DSUs may be subject to performance conditions or other vesting conditions.

• SARs. A share appreciation right (SAR) is the right to receive common shares equal in value to the appreciation in the value of a common share over a period. The base price against which a SAR is to be measured may not be less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. An option and a SAR may be granted in tandem, in which event the SAR will vest and be exercisable on the same dates as the related option and the exercise of the option results in the surrender of the SAR, and vice versa. The term of a SAR may not exceed 10 years, unless extended due to the existence of a company trading blackout period.

• Other awards. Other awards are awards that are convertible into or otherwise based on the common shares.

Eligibility

Employees and consultants of Hydro One and its affiliates as determined by the HRC. Non-employee directors on the board are not eligible.

Maximum

No. of Shares

Authorized

11,900,000 common shares or approximately 2% of the issued and outstanding shares. Within that limit the maximum number of common shares which may be issued as PSUs, RSUs or DSUs is 4,760,000 common shares (or approximately 0.8% of the issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2022). As of December 31, 2022, there were 8,617,720 common shares available for future awards (approximately 1.44% of the issued and outstanding shares).

If an award expires without exercise, is cancelled, forfeited or terminated or otherwise is settled without the issuance of common shares, common shares which were issuable under the award will be available for future grants. Common shares issued under awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the acquisition will not reduce the number of shares available for awards under the LTIP unless otherwise required by law or stock exchange rule.

Insider Limits

Under the LTIP and any other Hydro One security-based compensation arrangements:

• maximum number of common shares issuable to insiders at any time is 10% of the outstanding common shares.

• maximum number of common shares issuable to insiders within any one-year period is 10% of the outstanding common shares.

• the LTIP does not provide for a maximum number of common shares which may be issued to an individual pursuant to the LTIP and any other security-based compensation arrangement (expressed as a percentage or otherwise).

Fair Market Value

Under the LTIP, the fair market value is based on the closing common share price on the TSX on the applicable date.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Company

Trading

Blackout

Periods

If an award is scheduled to expire during, or within five business days after a company trading blackout period restricting employees from trading in common shares, then the award shall expire ten business days after such restricted trading period expires.

Death &

Disability

Unless otherwise determined by the HRC, a pro rata portion of the next instalment of the award due to vest shall immediately vest, based on the number of days elapsed since the last instalment vested compared to the period from the last vesting date to the next vesting date (or if none have vested, the date of grant). Any performance targets are deemed to have been met at 100% of the target performance level. Vested awards subject to exercise will remain exercisable for 90 days, or the award's normal expiration date if earlier.

Retirement

Unless otherwise determined by the HRC, all unvested awards continue to vest and are settled and exercised in accordance with their terms.

"Retirement" means:

(a) If the employee:

i. is the President and CEO or reports directly to the President and CEO, the retirement has been approved by the board and the employee complies with such conditions as the board may require;

ii. is not i. above, the employee has reached age 65 or reached age 55 with a minimum of 10 years of service or such lesser age and/or service thresholds as the HRC may determine;

iii. achieved the age and service eligibility criteria for an undiscounted early retirement pension as defined by the DBPP applicable to the Participant;

iv. has achieved such lesser age and/or service thresholds as the Plan Administrator may determine.

(b) the employee has given formal notice of their intention to retire six months in advance or such lesser period as the Plan Administrator may approve;

(c) no cash severance payment or retirement allowance or equivalent is paid; and

(d) the employee has complied with such transitional activities as may be reasonably required by Hydro One until the date the individual has ceased active employment.

Resignation

Unless otherwise determined by the HRC, all unvested awards are forfeited. Vested awards subject to exercise will remain exercisable for 90 days, or the award's normal expiration date if earlier.

Termination For Cause

All awards, whether vested or unvested, are forfeited and cancelled.

Termination

Without Cause(1)

If the employee has five (5) years of service or more and has not committed and has not failed to take any action, in each case that in the determination of the Plan Administrator has resulted or could damage the company or its reputation, then, a prorated portion of the next instalment of any awards due to vest shall immediately vest with PSUs deemed to have met 100% of the specified performance targets. Options shall remain exercisable for 90 days from the termination date.

Unless otherwise determined by the HRC and except if termination occurs within 24 months following a change in control, all unvested awards are forfeited. Vested awards subject to exercise will remain exercisable for 90 days, or the award's normal expiration date if earlier.

104 Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular

Termination

Without

Cause Within

24 Months

Following

a Change

in Control

If, within 24 months following a change in control, the executive's employment is terminated by the company without cause then, without any action by the Plan Administrator:

(i) if the change in control is one of the circumstances set out in paragraphs (a) to (c) or (g) of the definition of change in control (as defined below) the prior awards held by the executive on the change in control (the "Affected Awards") shall continue to vest and be settled or exercised in accordance with their terms; and

(ii) if the change in control is one of the circumstances set out in paragraphs (d) to (f) of the definition of change in control noted below, 1) the Affected Awards shall vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable as of the termination date, 2) any performance goals assigned to any such Affected Awards shall be deemed to have been met at 100% of the specified target level of performance for such performance goals and 3) any Affected Award that is an Option or SAR shall continue to be exercisable until, and will expire on, the earlier of its expiry date and 90 days following the termination date.

Change

in Control(2)

The HRC may provide for the conversion or exchange of outstanding awards for new awards or other securities of substantially equivalent value (or greater value) in any entity participating in or resulting from the change in control, or, for the accelerated vesting or delivery of shares under awards, or for a cash-out of outstanding awards.

Definition

of Change

in Control

Subject to certain exceptions, means:

(a) ore than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the company are acquired;

(b) all or substantially all of the assets of the company are sold, assigned or transferred, other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary;

(c) an acquisition of the company via merger, amalgamation, consolidation, statutory arrangement or otherwise or the dissolution or liquidation of the company;

(d) individuals who, at the beginning of any two-year period constitute the board of directors, cease to constitute a majority of the board, excluding any individuals whose service ceased due to death during such two-year period;(3)

(e) pursuant to its rights in the Governance Agreement, the Province replaces the entire board (other than the President and CEO) and, in its discretion, the chair of the board;(3)

(f) a change is made to an Ontario law or regulation that:

(i) both (A) expressly states that it applies either (1) to Hydro One or an affiliate or (2) companies in the electrical transmission and/or distribution business generally but has a disproportionate effect on Hydro One and its affiliates as a whole, and (B) would materially adversely affect the ability of Hydro One to achieve any corporate performance measures set out in any outstanding awards; or

(ii) imposes limits on the quantum of compensation that may be paid to non-union employees of Hydro One or its affiliates other than restrictions established for rate approval or other purposes which do not restrict amounts actually paid;(3) or

(g) the board passes a resolution confirming that a change in control has occurred.

As a result of limitations on the ownership of the company's shares under the Electricity Act (Ontario), there would have to be an amendment to such statute for a change in control to occur in certain circumstances.

Assignability

Options are generally not assignable or transferable. Other awards may be assigned to a 'permitted assign' (as defined under Canadian securities law), which includes a spouse, registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund or personal holding company.

Discretion

The HRC may accelerate vesting or exercisability of an award. The HRC may adjust performance objectives in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events occurring during the performance period that affect the applicable performance objective.

Hydro One Limited | 2023 Management Information Circular 105

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Clawback

The HRC may provide that an award may be subject to potential cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of any clawback, recoupment or similar policy adopted by the company or as otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange listing standards.

Adjustments

The HRC may make adjustments as it determines in its sole discretion to the terms of any award, the number and type of securities issuable under the award and the number of common shares issuable under the LTIP in the event of a subdivision or consolidation of common shares or any similar capital reorganization, or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend that is in lieu of a cash dividend), or in the event of an amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or other transaction or reorganization of the company that does not constitute a change in control.

Amendment

The HRC may amend the LTIP or outstanding awards, or terminate the LTIP as to future grants of awards, except that a change that would affect materially and adversely an employee's rights under the award is subject to the employee's consent unless expressly provided in the LTIP or the terms of the award at the time of grant.

Shareholder approval is required for any amendment that:

(a) increases the number of common shares available for issuance under the LTIP or increases the limits on awards to insiders (except with respect to the adjustments described above);

(b) permits non-employee directors to receive awards;

(c) reduces the exercise price of an award (including by cancelling an award and reissuing an award to the same participant with a lower exercise price) except pursuant to the provisions of the LTIP which permit the HRC to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the company or its capital;

(d) extends the term of any award beyond its original expiration date (except where the expiration date would have fallen within a company blackout period or within five business days thereof);

(e) permits an award to be exercisable or settled beyond 10 years from its grant date (except where the expiration date would have fallen within a company blackout period);

(f) permits awards to be transferred other than to a "permitted assign" (as defined under Canadian securities law) or for normal estate settlement purposes; or

(g) deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require shareholder approval.
