EXPLANATORY NOTE

Enbridge Inc., a corporation existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act, qualifies as a foreign private issuer in the United States (“U.S.”) for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Although, as a foreign private issuer, Enbridge Inc. is not required to do so, Enbridge Inc. currently files annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers. Enbridge Inc. prepares and files a management information circular and related material under Canadian requirements. As Enbridge Inc.’s management information circular is not filed pursuant to Regulation 14A, Enbridge Inc. may not incorporate by reference information required by Part III of its Form 10-K from its management information circular.

Enbridge Inc. filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Original Filing”) on February 13, 2026. In reliance upon and as permitted by Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, Enbridge Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A in order to include in the Original Filing the Part III information not previously included in the Original Filing.

Except as stated herein, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and, other than the information provided in Parts III and IV hereof, we have not updated the disclosures contained in the Original Filing to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

In this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, the terms “Enbridge,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” mean Enbridge Inc. “Board of Directors” or “Board” means the Board of Directors of Enbridge. “Enbridge shares” or “common shares” mean common shares of Enbridge. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars (“C$” or “$”) unless stated otherwise. US$ means US dollars.

All references to our websites and to our Canadian management information circular, dated March 3, 2026 and filed with the SEC on March 10, 2026 as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Circular”) contained herein do not constitute incorporation by reference of information contained on such websites and the Circular and such information should not be considered part of this document.

Q

Global energy markets have faced black swan events— from geopolitical shocks to pandemics and extreme weather. How does your international experience help the Board prepare for the unexpected?

A

“Black swan events teach us that resilience is built before the crisis. In India, North America, and beyond, I’ve seen the value of diversified supply chains, robust safety systems, and flexible capital structures. At Enbridge, that means stress-testing strategies, embedding risk awareness into every decision, and positioning ourselves to pivot quickly without compromising reliability or stakeholder trust.”

Q

As Chair of the Safety and Reliability Committee, what’s the most important question you ask management after an incident?
 

A

“The most important question I ask is “What is it about our system that allowed this to happen?” That means looking beyond the immediate fix or one-off changes. It means examining broader system level improvements—whether in processes, technology, or culture—so lessons translate into lasting resilience.”

Q

With shifting political priorities and evolving stakeholder expectations in Canada and the U.S., how is the role of sustainability committees changing for cross-border companies?

A

“The role is becoming more dynamic. While policies may change, stakeholder expectations for safety, respect, and integrity remain. The Committee now needs to anticipate policy swings and stakeholder demands. That means stress-testing strategies against multiple scenarios and listening to investors, customers, communities, and other stakeholders to understand what matters most."

Q

As CEO of a cross-border company, what’s your view on how policy can help position North America as a global energy superpower?

A

“Markets build when governments set clear rules and stick to them. If Canada and the U.S. align on permitting reform, emissions policy, and incentives for innovation, we can attract investment and deliver energy security and affordability for our citizens and allies. Policy certainty is not just a regulatory issue—it’s a competitive advantage in a world where energy demand and geopolitical risks are rising.”

Q

Which governance trends matter most for boards in 2026?

A

“Governance in 2026 requires boards to exercise stronger judgment at the intersection of technology, talent, and geopolitics. Technology fluency becomes a fiduciary responsibility, with boards ensuring AI and digital capabilities are deployed responsibly, securely, and in ways that create durable advantage. At the same time, boards must elevate talent and succession oversight as core enterprise risks, while continuously anticipating geopolitical, regulatory, and supply-chain dynamics that will shape long-term resilience and value creation.”

Q

How is the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee approaching AI oversight and where do you see the committee adding the most value?

A

“Our role is to oversee AI adoption so it aligns with Enbridge’s risk framework and governance standards. In 2025, the committee completed specialized training on AI usage and governance, cybersecurity, and regulatory trends. That knowledge helps us ask sharper questions about data integrity, opportunities, and operational risk. We bring a governance lens to AI—evaluating its implications for the Company’s business, including both risks and opportunities. The committee’s education sessions in 2025 emphasized accountability and ethical standards, enabling us to embed those principles into oversight as AI becomes more central to business processes.”

Independence

The Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing that the Board functions independently of management. The majority of our directors must be independent, as defined by Canadian securities regulators in NI 52-110, NYSE rules and SEC rules and regulations. Our Governance Guidelines provide that the Board shall consist of a substantial majority of independent directors. The Board uses a detailed annual questionnaire to assist in determining if each director is independent and makes this determination annually or more frequently, as required.

The Board has determined that 11 of our 12 director nominees, including the Chair of the Board, are independent. Mr. Ebel is not independent because he is our President & CEO. Each of the Board’s five standing committees is comprised entirely of independent directors.

Current Board committee participation

The following table outlines Board committee participation as of the date of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A. Each of our Board committees is comprised entirely of independent Board members.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF REGISTRANT

The information regarding executive officers is included in Part I. Item 1. Business - Executive Officers of the Original Filing and is accordingly not included in this Amendment No.1.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Regulations, rules and standards

Enbridge is a “foreign private issuer” pursuant to applicable U.S. securities laws. Accordingly, Enbridge is permitted to follow home country practice instead of certain governance requirements set out in NYSE rules, provided we disclose any significant differences between our governance practices and those required by NYSE. Further information regarding those differences is available on our website.

We have a comprehensive system of stewardship and accountability that meets applicable Canadian and U.S. requirements, including:

Canadian Securities Administrators NI 52-110, NP 58-201, and National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices
requirements of the CBCA
the corporate governance guidelines of NYSE and TSX

A CULTURE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT

Statement on business conduct

A strong culture of ethical conduct is central to Enbridge. Our Statement on Business Conduct (“SOBC”) is our formal statement of the expectations that apply to all individuals at Enbridge and our subsidiaries, including our directors, officers, employees, and contingent workers, as well as consultants and contractors retained by Enbridge.

The SOBC outlines our expectations in various areas, including:

complying with the law, applicable rules and all policies
avoiding conflicts of interest, including examples of acceptable forms of gifts and entertainment
avoiding financial crimes such as anti-corruption, sanctions, money laundering and human rights violations
acquiring, using and maintaining assets (including computers and communication devices) appropriately
understanding data privacy, records management, and proprietary, confidential and insider information
protecting health, safety and the environment
interacting with landowners, customers, shareholders, employees and others
respectful workplace/no harassment

The current version of the SOBC is available on our website. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding amendments to, and waivers from, the provisions of the SOBC by posting such information on our website.

On the commencement of employment with Enbridge and annually thereafter, all active Enbridge employees and contingent workers are required to complete mandatory SOBC training and certify compliance with the SOBC. Directors must also certify their compliance with the SOBC on an annual basis.

As of the date of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, approximately 99.9% of Enbridge employees and contingent workers have certified compliance with the SOBC for the year ended December 31, 2025. All directors serving on the Board as of December 31, 2025 have certified their compliance with the SOBC for the year ended December 31, 2025.

AUDIT, FINANCE AND RISK COMMITTEE

The Audit, Finance and Risk Committee ("AFRC") fulfills public company audit committee obligations and assists the Board with oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements; the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence; and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and external auditors. The committee also assists the Board with the Company’s risk identification, assessment and management program. The committee's full mandate and responsibilities can be found in the Terms of Reference for the AFRC, available on our website.

Financial literacy

The Board considers an individual to be financially literate if they can read and understand financial statements that are generally comparable to our Company’s in breadth and complexity of issues. The Board has determined that all members of the AFRC are financially literate, in accordance with NI 52-110 and NYSE rules. The Board has also determined that Ms. Madden, Ms. Jang, and Mr. Few each qualify as an audit committee financial expert, as defined under the Exchange Act. The Board bases this determination on each director’s education, skills and experience.

We have provided information required by Items 6.B and 6.E.2 of Form 20-F in the Circular. As a foreign private issuer in the U.S. we are not required to disclose executive compensation according to the requirements of Regulation S-K that apply to U.S. domestic issuers, and we are not otherwise required to adhere to the U.S. requirements relative to certain other proxy disclosures and requirements. Our executive compensation disclosure complies with Canadian requirements, which are, in many respects, substantially similar to U.S. rules.

Executive summary

The HRC Committee works on behalf of shareholders to keep our executive compensation programs firmly aligned with performance, support the retention of high-caliber talent, and motivate Enbridge’s senior leaders to advance our vision, values and strategic priorities. We are pleased to share our approach to executive compensation and highlight the key accomplishments we considered in determining 2025 compensation awards for the executive leadership team.

The decisions related to executive compensation are guided by our compensation philosophy and reflect our ongoing desire to drive sustainable growth and create long-term value. This disciplined approach positions us to remain the first-choice energy delivery company for our customers, communities, shareholders and employees.

Advancing strategic priorities

Enbridge’s low risk, utility-adjacent business mix continues to support ratable dividend and equity growth, consistent with the Company’s commitment to long-term shareholder value and alignment. Our growing portfolio of assets provides a diverse suite of in-footprint investment opportunities, leveraging both our scale and expertise. Judicious capital allocation has differentiated Enbridge as an industry leading operator with a focus on long-term contracted cash flow generation.

We placed over $5 billion of assets into service in 2025 and sanctioned over $14 billion of new accretive secured capital, extending our growth programs past 2030. These investments will drive cash flow and EBITDA growth for shareholders, supporting dividend increases and future equity self-funded growth. In 2025, Enbridge also closed the acquisition of an interest in the Matterhorn Express Pipeline, enhancing our growing Permian natural gas franchise and closed a 12.5% investment by 38 First Nations groups in the Westcoast Pipeline System.

Our values of Safety, Integrity, Respect, Inclusion and High Performance remain core to Enbridge’s culture. These core values guide every decision we make and every action we take. Together, these principles help us deliver sustainable results while building trust and creating value for all shareholders.


1 Ms. Hansen served as Executive Vice President & President Gas Transmission & Midstream until December 31, 2025 and will serve as a Special Advisor to the CEO until her retirement in January 2027.

Compensation highlights

In considering executive compensation outcomes for the year, the HRC Committee assessed performance against financial, strategic and operational objectives that were approved by the Board at the beginning of the year and evaluated in the context of our compensation philosophy. The HRC Committee and Board also reviewed key performance indicators relative to our performance peer group, including dividend per share growth, earnings per share growth, DCF per share growth and TSR, and based on the review, approved the 2025 incentive payouts.

Our Company scorecard provides a consistent framework to align and drive non‑financial objectives enterprise-wide, while maintaining strong financial accountability within each business unit, reinforcing their contribution to overall enterprise value. We are pleased to share that we delivered results within our target financial guidance range, executed on our business strategy, and advanced operational goals related to safety, project performance and sustainability resulting in overall payouts for our NEOs ranging from 130% to 146% of target.

Performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards are subject to pre-established performance hurdles determined at the time of grant. The 2023 PSU award performance was based on three‑year performance targets tied to DCF per share growth, comparing our TSR to the Board approved performance peer group, and progress toward Enbridge’s GHG emissions intensity reduction target, with a performance period ending in 2025. Enbridge achieved an overall result above target, and the HRC Committee approved the payout for the 2023 PSU award, applying an overall performance multiplier of 1.34x.

The awards earned were consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, and more information is provided in the following materials.

Compensation philosophy

Enbridge’s approach to executive compensation is governed by the HRC Committee and approved by the Board. A rigorous pay-for-performance philosophy is embedded in our short-, medium-, and long-term compensation programs and designed with the interests of Enbridge shareholders and other stakeholders through five main objectives:

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_31.jpg

 

Align to Enbridge’s business strategy

Our compensation programs are designed to motivate management to deliver exceptional value by focusing on safe and reliable operations while maintaining financial strength, flexibility and executing on growth opportunities consistent with our low-risk business model

 

 

Compensation program payouts are designed to align with achievement of our strategic priorities and outcomes

 

 

 

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_32.jpg

 

Align to Enbridge’s values

Enbridge is committed to delivering steady, visible and predictable results, and operating our assets in an ethical and responsible manner

 

 

Our compensation programs reward behaviours and outcomes closely aligned to our values

 

 

We assess performance and compliance against our sustainability metrics

 

 

 

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_33.jpg

 

Attract and retain a highly effective executive team

Incenting and engaging a high performing executive team is essential for achieving our strategic goals and desire to build a sustainable future for Enbridge

Total direct compensation is targeted at the median of our compensation benchmarking peer group of U.S. and Canadian companies to reflect Enbridge’s identity as a North American leader

Compensation programs reward employees for high performance and their potential for future contributions

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_34.jpg

 

Incent and reward for performance

 

Performance is the cornerstone of Enbridge’s compensation strategy. Our pay-for-performance approach rewards management for their contributions to the enterprise, business unit and individual results against objectives that support the achievement of our strategic priorities

 

 

A significant portion of the target compensation mix for the President & CEO and the other NEOs is “at risk”. Incentives are “at risk” because payout is not guaranteed, and their values are determined based on each metric’s guidance range and specific performance criteria

 

 

When assessing performance, the HRC Committee considers performance results in context of other qualitative factors not captured in the formal metrics, including key performance indicators relative to peers, such as TSR, dividend per share growth, DCF per share growth, earnings per share growth and others, in addition to qualitative aspects of management’s responsibilities

 

 

 

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_35.jpg

 

Enhance long-term shareholder value

 

Our compensation programs focus management on delivering strategic priorities over the long-term

 

Medium- and long-term incentives pay out over time, encouraging a longer-term view of how we create value for our shareholders

 

A significant portion of the target compensation mix for the President & CEO and NEOs is linked to medium- and long-term incentive programs

 

 

Talent management and succession planning

We take an integrated approach to talent management and succession planning using a comprehensive framework aligned to our business strategies which is overseen by the HRC Committee and the Board. Focusing on the development of executives to strengthen the overall succession pipeline enables us to retain top talent while ensuring depth of leadership capability to drive both short- and longer-term performance. Our philosophy of development and retention of executive talent supports and strengthens our culture, builds versatility and reduces business risk by providing multiple succession options.

Compensation policies and practices

Our compensation policies and practices are designed to encourage appropriate behaviours, promote strategic risk management, and align to the interests of our shareholders. The following table outlines Enbridge’s compensation policies and practices that maintain disciplined governance.

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_36.jpg

What we do

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_37.jpg

What we don’t do

 

Use a pay-for-performance philosophy whereby the majority of compensation provided to executives is “at risk”. "At risk” payouts are not guaranteed, and threshold performance must be achieved for a payout to occur. In 2025, the percentage of total target compensation considered “at risk” for the President & CEO was 91% and an average of 83% for the other NEOs
Use a blend of short-, medium- and long-term incentive awards that are linked to business plans for the respective timeframe
Incorporate risk management principles into decision-making processes to help ensure compensation programs do not encourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking by executives
Regularly review executive compensation programs through independent third-party experts and advisors to support regulatory compliance and ongoing alignment with shareholders
Use both preventative and incident-based safety, environmental and operational metrics that are directly linked to short-term incentive awards with a maximum payout of 2x target
Executives are required to meet minimum share ownership guidelines, which are regularly reviewed to align with market practices, motivate executives to create long-term value, and align the interests of executives with those of Enbridge shareholders
Benchmark executive compensation programs against a compensation peer group of similar companies (by organization size, industry and geography) in North America, to assess that executives are compensated at competitive levels
Maintain two clawback policies, including our Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy, covering all cash bonuses and equity-based incentive awards granted or paid, which is intended to prevent or rectify situations whereby employees engage in misconduct (defined to include fraud or willful misconduct), and the Clawback Policy for the Mandatory Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation, which aligns with SEC and NYSE requirements
Use double-trigger change in control provisions within all cash and incentive plan agreements
Hold an annual advisory shareholder vote on our approach to executive compensation, commonly known as “say on pay” and regularly engage with shareholders on our executive compensation program philosophy
Regularly perform quantitative modelling, stress test performance, and potential compensation scenarios to assess reasonability of executive awards as compared to our compensation peer group

 

 

Count performance stock units or unexercised stock options toward share ownership requirements
Grant stock options with exercise prices below 100% fair market value or reprice out-of-the-money options
Allow repricing or cash buyout of underwater options without shareholder permission
Provide stock options to non-employee directors
Pay dividends on unearned performance stock units; dividend equivalents are accrued during the performance period and are payable only on vested PSUs
Permit hedging or pledging of Enbridge securities by directors, officers, or other employees
Use employment agreements with single-trigger voluntary termination rights in favor of executives
Grant loans to directors or senior executives
Guarantee incentive payouts
Apply tax gross-ups to awards
Provide excessive perquisites

Compensation governance

Enbridge’s compensation governance structure consists of the Board and the HRC Committee, with HR Consultant Mercer (Canada) Limited (“Mercer”), and others from time to time, providing independent advisory support to the HRC Committee. The HRC Committee reviews the governance structure annually against best practices and regulatory guidance.

Board and HRC Committee

The Board is responsible for the oversight of the compensation principles and programs at Enbridge. The HRC Committee approves major compensation programs and payouts to align incentive compensation with the company’s performance and its pay-for-performance philosophy, including reviewing and recommending to the Board the compensation for the President & CEO. The HRC Committee also approves the compensation for the other NEOs.

The HRC Committee assists the Board in carrying out its responsibilities with respect to compensation matters by providing oversight and direction on human resources strategy, policies and programs for the NEOs, other executives and the broader employee base, including compensation, equity incentive plans, pension and benefits as well as talent management, succession planning, workforce recruitment, retention, inclusion, and employee health and safety. The HRC Committee also provides oversight regarding the management of broader people-related risk, and specifically reviews the compensation programs from a risk perspective.

The members of the HRC Committee in 2025 were Stephen S. Poloz (Chair), Susan M. Cunningham, S. Jane Rowe and Douglas L. Foshee. All members of the HRC Committee are independent under the independence standards discussed in this this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.

The members of the HRC Committee have experience in human resources and compensation, including as members of the compensation committees of other public companies. In addition, the members of the HRC Committee have executive leadership experience, strong knowledge of the energy industry, experience as directors of other public companies and a mix of other relevant skills and experience. This background provides the HRC Committee members with the collective experience, knowledge and skills to effectively carry out their responsibilities. For information on each HRC Committee member’s experience and current service on other public company boards and committees, see the director profiles, beginning on page 4. For information on each HRC Committee member’s skills and experience, see the skills and experience matrix on page 17. For information on each HRC Committee member’s participation on other Enbridge Board committees, see page 16.

 

Independent advice

The HRC Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any compensation consultants, outside legal counsel or other advisors it retains (each, an “Advisor”). The HRC Committee may select or receive advice from an Advisor only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to the Advisor’s independence from management including:

the provision of other services to Enbridge by the Advisor
the amount of fees received from Enbridge by the Advisor as a percentage of the Advisor’s total revenue
the policies and procedures of the Advisor that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest
any shares owned by the Advisor
any business or personal relationship of the Advisor with a member of the HRC Committee or with an executive officer at Enbridge

Although the HRC Committee is required to consider these factors, it is free to select or receive advice from an Advisor that is not independent.

Since 2002, Mercer, an independent Advisor, has provided guidance to the HRC Committee on compensation matters to help ensure Enbridge’s programs are appropriate, market competitive and continue to meet intended goals. Advisory services provided by Mercer include reviewing:

the competitiveness and appropriateness of executive compensation programs
annual total direct compensation for the President & CEO and the executive leadership team
executive compensation governance
the HRC Committee’s mandate and related Board committee processes

While the HRC Committee considers the information and recommendations Mercer provides, it has full accountability for decisions within its mandate, which may reflect other factors and considerations.

Each year, the HRC Committee Chair reviews and approves the terms of engagement with Mercer, which specify the work to be done in the year, Mercer’s responsibilities and its fees. Management may also retain Mercer on compensation matters from time to time or for prescribed compensation services. The HRC Committee Chair must approve all services that are not standard in nature, considering whether the work would compromise Mercer’s independence.

 

25


 

In 2025, Management and the HRC Committee engaged Mercer to provide analysis and advice on various compensation matters. While Mercer offered insights and recommendations, the HRC Committee has full accountability for decisions within its mandate. The following table provides a breakdown of services provided and fees paid to Mercer and its affiliates by Enbridge, reflecting an increase in insurance-related advisory services provided by Mercer affiliates in 2025, compared to 2024:

Having your say

We are committed to regular shareholder engagement and appreciate your feedback. Shareholders can express their views on executive pay at our annual meeting of shareholders, where we hold an annual advisory “say on pay” vote to receive shareholder feedback. This structure helps align executive compensation with shareholder interests. While the vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board considers the results when determining Enbridge’s compensation program. The 2025 vote resulted in a favourable outcome of 89.78%, and the HRC Committee interpreted this level of support as affirmation by our shareholders of the design and overall execution of our executive compensation programs, leading to no significant changes in our approach to executive compensation.

Compensation risk management

The HRC Committee plays a critical governance role related to enterprise risk. In carrying out this accountability, the HRC Committee employs a number of risk mitigation practices aimed at ensuring that Enbridge’s compensation programs are designed in a manner that does not encourage individuals to take inappropriate or excessive risks that could have material adverse impact on the Company.

Compensation risk mitigation practices

Enbridge uses the following compensation practices to mitigate risk:

• a pay-for-performance philosophy that is embedded in the compensation design

• a mix of pay programs benchmarked against a relevant compensation peer group, which contains companies in Canada and U.S. that are generally comparable in scope, complexity, and size to Enbridge, primarily in terms of enterprise value, and secondarily, market capitalization and assets

• compensation programs that include a combination of short-, medium- and long-term elements that provide executives with an incentive to consider both the immediate and long-term implications of their decisions

• program provisions whereby executives are compensated for their short-term performance using a combination of financial performance and operational metrics in areas such as safety, project performance, and sustainability that support a balanced perspective and are a mix of both leading (proactive/preventative) and lagging (incident-based) indicators

• a rigorous approach to goal setting and a process of establishing targets with multiple levels of performance, which mitigate excessive risk-taking that could harm Enbridge’s value or reward poor judgment of executives

• incentive plan performance ranges that include both minimum and maximum payouts

• stock award programs that vest over multiple years and are aligned with overall stock price appreciation to drive value for Enbridge shareholders

• share ownership guidelines that require executives to have a meaningful equity stake in Enbridge to align their interests with those of Enbridge shareholders

• Insider Trading Guidelines that include prohibition on hedging and pledging provisions to prevent activities that would weaken the intended pay-for-performance link

• two incentive compensation clawback policies: for more information, refer to the Clawback policies on page 27

The HRC Committee has considered the risk related to the Company’s compensation programs and has concluded that the programs do not encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking and are aligned with the long-term interests of shareholders.

Insider trading and prohibition on hedging and pledging

We have adopted Insider Trading Guidelines governing the purchase, sale and/or other disposition of our securities by our directors, officers (including the NEOs), employees and contractors, as well as by Enbridge itself, that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and NYSE and TSX listing standards. We also maintain Disclosure Guidelines, which prohibit the Company from issuing securities or offering securities to the public during a blackout period (subject to specific circumstances outlined in the policy).

26


 

Our Insider Trading Guidelines also prohibit directors, officers, employees and contractors from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by such directors, officers, employees and contractors as such positions may weaken the link between the intended alignment of director and employee interests with shareholder interests.

The following activities are specifically prohibited:

speculating in securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries
“short-selling” securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries (i.e. selling securities that the individual does not own)
purchasing or selling call or put options or other derivatives relating to securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries
entering into any other financial transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries
entering into margin loans or other transactions involving the pledging of the securities of Enbridge and its reporting issuer subsidiaries

 

Clawback policies

Enbridge maintains two incentive compensation clawback policies.

The Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy allows Enbridge to recover, from current and former members of senior management, certain incentive compensation amounts awarded or paid to individuals including all cash bonuses and equity-based incentive awards if the individuals engaged in misconduct (defined to include fraud or willful misconduct) that led to inaccurate financial results reporting, regardless of whether the misconduct resulted in a restatement of all or a part of Enbridge’s financial statements.

The Clawback Policy for the Mandatory Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation, requires Enbridge (subject to certain exceptions) to recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by covered executive officers in the event that Enbridge is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws.

 

Annual decision-making process

Compensation decisions are guided by our compensation philosophy and principles as described on page 23. The following illustration provides an overview of our annual process for determining and assessing compensation for the President & CEO and other NEOs.

Compensation elements

Enbridge’s compensation program is comprised of elements that balance the use of short-, medium- and long-term vehicles, designed to deliver value to Enbridge shareholders not only in the near-term, but also through continued performance over the long-term. Total direct compensation includes base salary and performance-based incentive awards. A significant component of total target compensation for 2025 was considered at risk, representing 91% for the President & CEO, and an average of 83% for the other NEOs. Pay is directly dependent on performance outcomes for our senior leaders, consistent with the interests of Enbridge shareholders.

Benchmarking to peers

Total direct compensation for the NEOs is managed within a framework that involves input from and consideration by the President & CEO and the HRC Committee (the HRC Committee only in the case of the CEO) with Mercer providing independent advisory support. The competitiveness of this framework is based on market data extracted from third-party compensation surveys and publicly disclosed executive compensation information for comparable benchmark roles at peer companies.

Enbridge targets overall total direct compensation for our NEOs at the median of our peer group, considering the skills, competencies and experience of each senior executive.

Compensation peer group determination

Enbridge uses a single North American peer group for executive compensation benchmarking in making compensation decisions. The following summarizes the key considerations and selection criteria for the compensation peer group of companies:

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_51.jpg

 

Industry

Typically defined as low-risk regulated operations in the North American energy sector
The peer group is limited to those in the energy and infrastructure space, and are subject to the same external industry pressures and macroeconomic factors as Enbridge rather than extending to other capital-intensive sectors
Aligns Enbridge to pay competitively against “best-in-class” companies whose executives are often the most knowledgeable about Enbridge’s core businesses and are part of the primary talent pool from which Enbridge recruits

Geography

A North American compensation peer group is used because the President & CEO and other NEOs’ responsibilities are primarily North American in scope, which is generally where we compete for executive talent
The majority of our business assets and operations, as well as shareholders, are within the U.S. and Canada
The U.S. market offers more comparable peers from an industry and/or size/complexity perspective, and approximately two‑thirds of our total revenue is generated in the United States; accordingly, our peer group is weighted more heavily towards the U.S.
Most Canadian companies are not sufficiently comparable to Enbridge in terms of industry and/or size/complexity, and therefore only appropriate Canadian peers are included in the peer group

Size/complexity

Broadly defined to consider multiple dimensions, including financial (e.g., market capitalization, cash flow, enterprise value, assets, capital employed) and non-financial measures (e.g., breadth of operations)

Annual peer group decision making

Enbridge’s compensation peer group is reviewed annually by the HRC Committee and is comprised of Canadian and U.S. companies in the energy and infrastructure space. The compensation peer group was updated for 2025 to remove Dominion Energy following the acquisition of its U.S. natural gas utilities and Marathon Petroleum was added as a recognized industry peer. Enbridge's overall positioning within the new peer group was maintained after the 2025 peer group adjustment. The following peer group was used for determining compensation in 2025.

Peer group comparison

Our compensation peer group contains companies that are generally similar in size to Enbridge, primarily in terms of enterprise value, and secondarily, market capitalization and assets. While Enbridge is considerably larger than most companies in its industry, the peer group includes organizations with comparable operational profiles, even though some size constraints were relaxed to maintain relevance.

As one of the largest companies in the peer group, Enbridge’s compensation practices are designed to reflect the scale and responsibilities of its business. Enbridge does not select aspirational peers; instead, the peer group is made up of North American organizations that operate in our industries that are comparable in scope, complexity, and size. This approach leads to compensation decisions that reflect representative market context, supporting both the integrity of Enbridge’s compensation philosophy and the interests of shareholders.

The following chart summarizes Enbridge’s placement compared to our North American peer group and indicates that Enbridge ranks above the median in all the selection criteria relative to the 2025 compensation peer group.

Aligning President & CEO pay with performance

Enbridge is committed to aligning President & CEO pay with company performance and TSR, consistent with the rigorous pay-for-performance philosophy embedded in our compensation programs and aligned with the interests of Enbridge shareholders. We place a substantial portion of pay at risk, linked to performance goals that strongly incent our executive team to manage the Company in the best long-term interests of the Company and our shareholders.

We strongly believe that President & CEO pay should correspond to the performance of the Company, and that relationship should align appropriately relative to our compensation peers, based on the same pay-for-performance measures. We analyze this relationship over a multi-year historical period to smooth effects of short-term fluctuations and to better identify long-term performance and market trends.

The HRC Committee reviews key performance indicators, including our TSR, relative to our compensation peer group, and annually performs a comparative analysis of the President & CEO’s grant date fair value (“GDFV”) pay and realizable pay.

GDFV pay represents the total amount disclosed in the summary compensation table, excluding the amounts in the pension value and all other compensation columns. Realizable pay represents salary and non-equity incentive plan compensation as disclosed in the summary compensation table and the current market value of unvested or unearned medium- and long-term incentive awards using the 2025 year-end share price.

In our most recent analysis, we compared the relationship between Enbridge’s percentile rank of President & CEO pay and TSR performance over the past three years, relative to our compensation peer group on the same basis.

Enbridge has a strong correlation between President & CEO pay and performance relative to our compensation peers. Enbridge’s placement within the highlighted bands in the charts below indicates that our President & CEO pay outcomes are aligned with actual company performance results and shareholder expectations.

 

 

GDFV pay1

Aligning executive compensation and shareholder return

Performance graph

The chart on the right shows the value of a $100 investment made on January 1, 2021, in Enbridge common shares, the S&P/TSX Composite Index and Enbridge’s compensation peer group at the end of each of the last five years (assuming reinvestment of dividends throughout the term) and shows the growth in total direct compensation for the NEOs reported in the summary compensation table over the same period. For the purpose of the graph, returns are shown in local currency.

Total direct compensation includes base salary, short-term incentive award paid, and the grant value of medium- and long-term incentive awards as disclosed in the summary compensation table. Average total direct compensation is taken by dividing the total direct compensation from the summary compensation table by the number of named executives in any given year. For 2025, the total direct compensation value for NEOs is 0.70% of our adjusted earnings of $6,578 million.

The total return on Enbridge common shares has been positive from 2021 through 2025, resulting in a 125% return, driven by strong share price appreciation and supported by a track record of annual dividend increases. Average total direct compensation paid to the NEOs corresponds to the movement of Enbridge’s shareholder return over the same period.

2025 compensation decisions

Market review

In 2025, the HRC Committee engaged Mercer to gather and assess current market compensation data for the NEOs to validate that our programs are appropriate and market competitive. This assessment indicated that the NEOs’ total direct compensation continues to be slightly below the compensation peer group median year over year.

Base salary

Base salary is the principal fixed source of cash compensation provided to the President & CEO and other NEOs. Base salary reflects each executive’s level of responsibility, capabilities and experience in the context of their role and the market. Base salaries are reviewed annually and increases may be provided when an executive assumes increased responsibilities or significantly deepens their knowledge and expertise, or when there is a material change in the compensation levels of comparable roles in the compensation peer group.

Effective April 1, 2025, Mr. Ebel, Ms. Hansen, Mr. Gruending, and Mr. Hedgebeth received base salary increases that aligned with the approved merit budget. Mr. Murray received a base salary increase greater than the approved merit budget, to better align his positioning relative to the competitive market.

Short-term incentive

STIP awards are designed to align with goals to drive collective outcomes across the business. Our company scorecard shared by all employees, with certain variability of business unit financial performance, allows for a simple and streamlined process of goal setting, measurement and tracking of performance, while increasing alignment, teamwork, and collaboration across the organization. For our NEOs, STIP is weighted 85% on the Enbridge scorecard, reflecting key financial and non-financial results, and 15% on individual performance tied to measurable high-priority and results-focused goals that align to our strategic plan.

Financial objectives are based on DCF per share and adjusted EBITDA relative to near-term business priorities and financial results for the organization.
Non-financial objectives include safety, operational performance and key strategic objectives in line with the interests of customers, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders.
Individual performance objectives are established to align with financial, strategic, and operational priorities related to contributions to the overall organization. The President & CEO’s objectives are discussed with the Board and approved by the HRC Committee. Individual objectives for other NEOs are set in consultation with the President & CEO, that include customer and operational strategic outcomes important to each executive’s role and accountabilities.

The HRC Committee approved an increase to Mr. Ebel's 2025 STIP target to 150% of base salary, intended to enhance the competitiveness of our CEO’s compensation relative to the market peers, while maintaining strong alignment with our strategic objectives and shareholder interests. The change reinforces our commitment to a pay-for-performance approach.

Short-term incentive award breakdown and calculations

The following illustrates the two components of STIP, weighted 85% on the Enbridge scorecard with variability of business unit financial performance and 15% on individual performance, tied to goals that align to our strategic plan. Actual STIP awards are earned between 0-200% of the target award based on achievement of the applicable performance components.

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_61.jpg

 

Calculated STIP outcomes for each NEO, as shown below, are determined using the Enbridge scorecard result, which will differ by each business unit EBITDA result, and individual amounts, which are differentiated based on individual actions and contributions that align to our strategic plan. Mr. Ebel’s individual performance is discussed with the Board and approved by the HRC Committee, taking into consideration the Company’s financial and strategic priorities. All other NEOs' achievements are reviewed by the President & CEO and based on meeting specific individual and/or team goals. 2025 accomplishments for each NEO are described under “Executive profiles” starting on page 41.

The HRC Committee retains discretion to:

change performance measures, scorecards and the award levels when it believes it is reasonable to do so, considering matters such as key performance indicators, performance relative to our compensation peer group, market conditions, and the business environment in which the performance was achieved.
approve positive or negative adjustments to the calculated STIP award to reflect extraordinary events and other factors not contemplated in the original measures or targets.
assess the strength of the performance metrics and determine the overall company performance payout.

In 2025, no such discretion was applied beyond standard normalizations to performance measures and scorecards.

Medium- and long-term incentives

Enbridge’s medium- and long-term incentives for executives include three primary vehicles: PSUs, RSUs and ISOs. The long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) target mix is PSUs (60%), RSUs (20%), and ISOs (20%).

Weighting the majority of the LTIP target mix with PSUs aligns to our compensation philosophy and motivates NEOs to focus on performance conditions including Enbridge’s three-year financial outlook, TSR relative to our performance peer group, and progressing sustainability. Payout is not guaranteed, and their value is determined based on each metric’s guidance range and specific performance criteria.

 

Enbridge’s medium- and long-term incentives are forward-looking compensation vehicles, and as such, grants are considered part of the compensation for the year of grant and onward instead of in recognition of prior performance or previously granted awards. The various awards that apply to executives have different terms, vesting conditions, and performance criteria, mitigating the risk that executives produce only short-term results. This approach also benefits shareholders and helps maximize the ongoing retentive value of the medium- and long-term incentives granted to executives.

Medium- and long-term incentive awards were granted in 2025 under the Enbridge Inc. 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2019 LTIP”).

Each year the HRC Committee establishes annual equity award guidelines for all executives, including the NEOs, as a percentage of base salary based on market data for our compensation peers. From time to time, NEOs may receive a long-term equity incentive award above or below the target value based on the HRC Committee’s assessment of the prior year’s performance and the Company’s size, scope, and complexity relative to the peer group companies.

The HRC Committee approved an increase to Mr. Ebel’s 2025 LTIP target to 850% of base salary intended to enhance the competitiveness of our CEO’s compensation relative to the market peers, while maintaining strong alignment with our strategic objectives and shareholder interests. The change reinforces our commitment to a pay-for-performance approach and to tying CEO compensation to the achievement of Enbridge’s long-term strategic priorities and promoting disciplined decision-making that aligns the CEO’s interests with those of shareholders.

Performance stock units

PSUs are granted annually, in the first quarter of the year, and vest at the end of the third year. The achievement of pre-established and specific performance measures are certified on the maturity date, and the executives’ potential payout at the end of the performance period can range from 0% to 200% of the target award depending on the level of achievement of the performance measures. The final Enbridge share price for payout is the volume weighted average trading price of Enbridge shares on the TSX or NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the maturity date, on which performance is certified. These award payouts are made in cash.

2025 performance stock unit grant

The following performance metrics and weightings were used for the 2025 PSU grant:

 

Metrics

Description

Weight

DCF per share growth

Represents a commitment to Enbridge shareholders to achieve DCF growth that demonstrates Enbridge’s ability to deliver on its growth plan and continued dividend increases. Measurement against Enbridge’s long-range plan, as well as against industry growth rates, differentiates this metric compared to its use in the STIP, which is based on the one-year external guidance range. The different measurement periods are designed to minimize overlap between Enbridge’s compensation programs and encourage balanced decision-making across near-term execution and long-term strategy.

45%

Relative TSR

Enbridge compares itself against a performance peer group of Canadian and U.S. companies with a similar business and/or geographic mix to Enbridge and reflects the market’s perception of our overall performance relative to our peers over the three-year award term.

45%

GHG emissions intensity reduction

The GHG emissions intensity reduction targets are based on the estimated intensity and corresponding percent GHG emissions reduction from our operations in the target year relative to a 2018 baseline. The GHG emissions intensity reduction metric reinforces our commitment to reduce the emissions intensity from our operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 35% by 2030. Enbridge’s performance against our emissions reduction goals is provided in our annual Sustainability Report.

10%

As Enbridge has grown and evolved to pursue our low-risk pipeline/utility-like business strategy, our PSU performance peer group has evolved to include a greater proportion of gas and electric utility companies. The most relevant performance peer group for Enbridge includes a 75% weighting on midstream companies and a 25% weighting on utility companies.

Target payouts are earned at median performance results, reinforcing alignment with shareholder returns, while higher payouts require above-median performance results. It is important to note that payouts are significantly reduced for Relative TSR performance less than median and no payout is provided for performance results at or below the 25th percentile. This structure balances motivation and retention with strong pay-for-performance principles.

2023 performance stock unit payout

The PSUs granted in February 2023 have a performance period that ended December 31, 2025. The HRC Committee approved the 2023 PSU grant payout with an overall performance multiplier result of 1.34x based on our three-year DCF per share compound growth at 2.08%, compared our TSR to a Board approved performance peer group, which delivered a relative weighted TSR in the 40th percentile over the three-year term, and delivered on our progress of achieving 42% GHG emissions intensity reduction target.

Restricted stock units

RSUs are granted annually, in the first quarter of the year, and vest after three years. These awards are settled in Enbridge shares at the end of the term. The final settlement price at the end of the term is the volume weighted average trading price of Enbridge shares on the TSX or NYSE for the last 20 trading days before the end of the term. Settling RSUs in shares not only enhances executive ownership but also aligns the interests of our executives with those of other shareholders, reinforcing a commitment to long-term shareholder value and responsible decision making.

 

Incentive stock options

ISOs provide executives an opportunity to buy Enbridge shares at some point in the future at the exercise price defined at the time of grant.

ISOs are typically granted annually, in the first quarter of each year. ISOs vest annually in equal instalments over a four-year period. The maximum term of an ISO is 10 years, but the term can be reduced if the executive leaves Enbridge as described in the “Termination provisions of equity compensation plans” section on page 60. The exercise price of an ISO is the closing price of an Enbridge share on the listed exchange on the last trading day before the grant date. The grant date will be no earlier than the third trading day after a trading blackout period ends. ISOs are never backdated or repriced. ISOs may be granted to executives when they join Enbridge and are typically effective on the executive’s date of hire. If the hire date falls within a blackout period, the grant is delayed until after the end of the blackout period.

Share ownership

It is important for the NEOs to have a meaningful equity stake in Enbridge. Owning Enbridge shares is a tangible way to align the interests of executives with those of Enbridge shareholders.

Executives can acquire Enbridge shares by participating in the employee savings plan, exercising stock options, retaining shares from vested RSUs, or by making investments in Enbridge shares. Unvested RSUs, personal holdings and Enbridge shares held in the name of a spouse, dependent child or trust, all count toward meeting the guidelines. PSUs and unexercised stock options do not count toward meeting the guidelines.

The share ownership requirement is expressed as a multiple of base salary:

 

President & CEO

8.0 multiple

Executive Vice Presidents

4.0 multiple

All NEOs have met, or exceeded the current requirements as of December 31, 2025. Details on shares held can be found in the NEO profiles below.

President & CEO compensation

Greg Ebel was appointed our President & CEO effective January 1, 2023, and is primarily responsible for executing our long-term business strategy. In 2025, Mr. Ebel was instrumental in continuing to strengthen Enbridge's position as a leading, diversified North American energy infrastructure company, supporting sustainable cash flows and long‑term shareholder value creation. Under his leadership, the Company continued to deliver on its strategic priorities of expanding and modernizing our conventional business.

Enbridge recently announced a 3% increase in dividends for shareholders effective March 1, 2026 — our 31st consecutive annual dividend increase — demonstrating that dividend increases remain an important part of our shareholder value proposition. In 2025, Mr. Ebel played a key role in strengthening Enbridge's asset portfolio and growth platform through the execution of highly strategic transactions, including the acquisition of an interest in the Matterhorn Express Pipeline, enhancing our growing Permian natural gas franchise and closed a 12.5% investment by 38 First Nations groups in the Westcoast Pipeline System, further strengthening Enbridge's high‑quality asset base and growth outlook.

In setting Mr. Ebel’s compensation for 2025, the HRC Committee considered the salary levels and incentive opportunities of CEOs of our North American peers. Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy and in alignment with shareholder interests, his incentive pay is based on how the Company performs relative to those peers, and against the Company’s financial and strategic objectives. For 2025, the HRC Committee approved a base salary, STIP and LTIP opportunities that closely aligned with the median of our peers.

In 2025, the HRC Committee also recognized that Mr. Ebel’s leadership remains critical to Enbridge’s continued success. His guidance supports the safe, reliable and efficient operation of Enbridge’s natural gas, liquids and renewable power networks, connecting millions of customers to the energy they rely on each day, while advancing the Company’s emissions reduction objectives and commitment to high standards of safety, integrity, respect, inclusion and performance.

 

Aligning President & CEO compensation to shareholder value

Enbridge’s compensation programs are designed to deliver value to Enbridge shareholders not only in the near-term, but also through long-term achievement of our strategic priorities.

The chart below illustrates the value of a $100 investment made on January 1, 2023, in Enbridge common shares at the end of each of the last three years (assuming reinvestment of dividends throughout the term) and shows the growth in total direct compensation for the President & CEO. The President & CEO’s total direct compensation is reported in the summary compensation table (including base salary, short-term incentive award paid, and the grant value of medium- and long-term incentive awards) for the years ended 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The total return on Enbridge common shares has been positive over the past three years, resulting in a 51% return and total direct compensation paid for the role of President & CEO has increased 30% over the same period. The HRC Committee reviewed the relationship of President & CEO pay to TSR over the past three years and determined they were appropriately aligned.

Perquisites may include excess flexible benefit credits, parking, relocation subsidies, executive medical expenses, personal security, personal use of the Company aircraft, financial counseling benefits, memberships, and other incidental compensation. For Mr. Ebel, this includes $112,866 associated with his housing accommodations while working in Canada and $104,758 related to personal use of the Company aircraft. Protecting the CEO’s safety is essential to effective leadership, business continuity, and long‑term value creation, and is therefore consistent with shareholder interests. As a result, the Company adopts a comprehensive and proactive approach to executive security, including personal use of the Company aircraft. Perquisites for other NEOs are not reported in this column if the aggregate amount is less than C$50,000 or 10% of the total salary.

Termination of employment and change-in-control arrangements

Employment agreements

Enbridge has employment agreements with all NEOs. The terms in the employment agreements are competitive and part of a comprehensive compensation package that assists in recruiting and retaining top executive talent.

The agreements generally provide payments for executives in the case of involuntary termination for any reason (other than for cause) or voluntary termination within 150 days after constructive dismissal, as defined in each agreement, and do not provide for any “single-trigger” severance payments upon a change in control of the Company. As a condition to receiving payments under the employment agreements upon a qualifying termination of employment, the executive must execute a general release of claims in favour of Enbridge and comply with the following restrictive covenants:

 

Confidentiality provision

Non-competition/solicitation

No recruitment

2 years after departure

1 year after departure

2 years after departure

1.
Mr. Ebel, Ms. Hansen, Mr. Gruending, and Mr. Hedgebeth are retirement eligible as of December 31, 2025. Retirement eligibility under Enbridge programs means age 55 or older.
2.
Reflects a lump sum payment equal to two times the NEOs base salary in effect as at December 31, 2025.

56


 

3.
Reflects a lump sum payment equal to two times the average of the short-term incentive award paid to the NEO in the two years preceding the year in which the termination occurs. In addition, the NEO would receive a short-term incentive payment for the current year reflected in the summary compensation table.
4.
Represents the value of RSUs that would vest and be settled in shares and PSUs that would vest and be settled in cash upon the triggering event, based on C$65.68 for awards granted in Canadian dollars and US$47.83 for awards granted in U.S. dollars, the closing price of an Enbridge share on the TSX and NYSE, respectively, on December 31, 2025, and assuming, in the case of PSUs, target performance.
5.
Represents the “in-the-money value” of unvested ISOs as of December 31, 2025, that would be paid in cash (as a result of an involuntary termination without cause) or that would become vested (as a result of an involuntary or good reason termination after a CIC or retirement). In-the-money value is calculated based on C$65.68 for awards granted in Canadian dollars and US$47.83 for awards granted in U.S. dollars, the closing price of an Enbridge share on the TSX and NYSE, respectively, on December 31, 2025, less the applicable exercise price of the option.
6.
Reflects the value of two additional years of pension credit for each of Messrs. Ebel, Murray and Gruending, and Ms. Hansen, and three additional years of pension credit for Mr. Hedgebeth.
7.
Reflects a lump sum cash payment in respect of vacation carryover following the NEOs termination (as a result of death, retirement or a voluntary termination), or a lump sum cash payment in respect of the flex credit allowance and savings plan matching contributions that would have been paid by Enbridge over a period of two years following the NEOs termination, plus vacation carryover and an allowance for financial and career counselling in the event of an involuntary termination without cause or an involuntary or good reason termination following a CIC.

Additional equity compensation information

Enbridge shares used for purposes of equity compensation

Enbridge adopted the 2019 LTIP effective February 13, 2019, under which stock options were granted beginning in 2019 and share-settled RSUs were granted beginning in 2020. The 2019 LTIP was approved by our shareholders at our 2019 annual meeting of shareholders.

Two prior stock option plans were approved by Enbridge shareholders in 2007, as Enbridge Inc. Incentive Stock Option Plan (2007), as revised (Incentive Stock Option Plan), and Enbridge Inc. Performance Stock Option Plan (2007), as amended and restated (2011) and further amended (2012 and 2014). No awards have been or will be granted under the Incentive Stock Option Plan or Performance Stock Option Plan after February 13, 2019, and all shares still available to be issued and not subject to awards under these prior stock option plans became available under the 2019 LTIP.

Governance for making changes to the 2019 LTIP

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2019 LTIP at any time without shareholder approval, provided that no amendment, other than an increase to the overall share limit, may materially and adversely affect any award outstanding at the time of the amendment without the affected participant’s consent.

Enbridge shareholder approval is required to implement any of the following changes:

increasing the overall share limit
reducing the grant, exercise or purchase price for any awards
the cancellation of any awards and the reissue of or replacement of such awards with awards having a lower grant, exercise or purchase price
removing or exceeding the limits of the 2019 LTIP on participation by insiders
the extension of the term of any award
allowing other than employees or non-employee directors of the Company or a subsidiary to become participants in the 2019 LTIP
allowing awards to become transferable or assignable other than by will or according to the laws of descent and distribution
changing the amendment provisions of the 2019 LTIP

Termination provisions of equity compensation plans

The termination provisions for equity compensation awards granted under the 2019 LTIP (as governed by the incentive stock option grant agreements and the restricted stock unit grant agreements), and the incentive stock option plan (2007), as revised are summarized below.

 

Reason for termination

 

Incentive stock option provisions1

 

Restricted stock unit provisions

For incentive stock options granted in 2020 and thereafter, options continue to vest and can be exercised up to five years from retirement or until the stock option term expires (if sooner).

 

For RSUs granted prior to 2024, RSUs are prorated to retirement date and value is assessed and settled at the end of the usual term.

For RSUs granted in 2024 and thereafter, RSUs are not prorated for employees between the age of 55-59 with 30+ years of experience or who are age 60 and older at retirement date. RSUs are prorated to retirement date and value is assessed and settled at the end of the usual term if the foregoing criteria are not met.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Death

 

All options vest and can be exercised up to 12 months from the date of death or until the option term expires (if sooner).

Change of control or
reorganization

 

For 2016 grants, for a change of control, options vest on a date determined by the HRC Committee before the change of control. For any other kind of reorganization, options are to be assumed by the successor Company. If they are not assumed, they will vest and the value will be paid in cash.

Beginning with the 2017 grants, if the employment of a participant is terminated without cause (including constructive dismissal) by the Company or a subsidiary within two years after a change of control, then all unvested options of the participant vest on that double-trigger date.

 

If the employment of a participant is terminated without cause, (including constructive dismissal) by the Company or a subsidiary within two years after a change of control, then all outstanding RSUs become vested and are settled no later than 30 days following the date of termination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other transfer or assignment of
stock options

 

The holder of an option may not transfer or assign it other than by will, or as allowed by the laws of descent and distribution.

Other benefits elements

Retirement benefits

The NEOs participate in the Senior Management Pension Plan (“SMPP”), a non-contributory defined benefit plan which is part of a market competitive compensation package for all Canadian and U.S. members of senior management. Before becoming participants in the SMPP, certain NEOs participated in a defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan.

Defined benefit plan

The following graphic shows how the SMPP retirement benefit payable at normal retirement age is calculated:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key terms of the SMPP:

Eligibility: members of senior management join the SMPP on the later of their date of hire or promotion to a senior management position
Vesting: plan participants are fully vested immediately
Retirement age: normal retirement date is age 65. Participants may retire and receive an unreduced benefit at age 60, or as early as age 55 if they have 30 years of service. Participants with less than 30 years of service may retire on or after age 55 and receive a benefit that is reduced by 3% for each year the participant’s age at retirement was less than age 60
Survivor benefits: benefits are payable for the life of the member. If the member is single at retirement, 15 years of pension payments are guaranteed. If the member is married at retirement and dies before their spouse, 60% of the pension will continue to be paid to the spouse for his/her lifetime

Pension benefits are paid from the following tax-qualified and supplemental pension plans which comprise the SMPP:

Retirement Plan for Employees of Enbridge Inc. and Affiliates
Enbridge Employee Services, Inc. Employees’ Pension Plan
Enbridge Supplemental Pension Plan
Enbridge Employee Services Inc. Supplemental Pension Plan for United States Employees

1.
The components of compensatory change are current service cost and the difference between actual and estimated pensionable earnings.
2.
The non-compensatory change includes interest on the accrued obligation at the start of the year, changes in actuarial assumptions and other experience gains and losses not related to compensation.
3.
Mr. Ebel accrued a deferred vested pension benefit, and is also in receipt of a pension, from various legacy pension plans in respect of service while employed by Spectra Energy prior to February 27, 2017. These entitlements were assumed by Enbridge on closing of the Merger Transaction, as described in the “Assumed equity-based compensation awards from Spectra Energy” section, but are not linked to, or impacted by, his employment with Enbridge Inc., so are not included in the above table. As at December 31, 2025, the accrued obligation in respect of these legacy entitlements is C$5,586,000 and the accrued annual benefits payable at year end is approximately C$350,000.
4.
U.S. dollars have been converted to Canadian dollars using US$1 = C$1.4382 for the accrued obligation at January 1, 2025 and US$1 = C$1.3708 for the accrued obligation at December 31, 2025. The impact of changes to exchange rates on Mr. Ebel, Ms. Hansen, and Mr. Hedgebeth’s accrued obligation are reflected in the non-compensatory change.
5.
Ms. Hansen’s expected January 1, 2027 retirement date has been reflected in the annual benefits payable at age 65 and the accrued obligation at December 31, 2025. Ms. Hansen’s SMPP retirement benefit is indexed for inflation.
6.
In 2020, Ms. Hansen and Mr. Gruending were granted a temporary hold-harmless against a reduction to their SMPP pension resulting from the significant reductions in base salary should they retire within five years of the reduction. These temporary base salary reductions were related to the impacts of COVID-19, reduced energy demand and reduced commodity prices, and were not intended to have a permanent impact on the SMPP lifetime pensions. NEO base salaries were reinstated in 2021. This temporary hold-harmless expired on June 1, 2025 and is no longer included in the above table.
7.
Mr. Hedgebeth accrued a deferred vested pension benefit in respect of service while employed by Spectra Energy prior to March 2, 2017. This entitlement was assumed by Enbridge on closing of the Merger Transaction but is not linked to, or impacted by, his employment with Enbridge Inc., so is not included in the above table. As at December 31, 2025, the accrued obligation in respect of this legacy entitlement is C$381,000 and the accrued annual benefits payable at year end is approximately C$40,000.

Defined contribution plan

The defined contribution pension plan is a non-contributory pension plan. The level of contribution varies, depending on age and years of service. None of the NEOs are currently participating in the defined contribution pension plan.

Mr. Murray, Ms. Hansen, and Mr. Gruending participated in the defined contribution plan for approximately ten years, six years, and four years respectively, prior to joining the SMPP. The values shown below reflect market value of assets of the defined contribution plan.

Other benefits

Enbridge’s savings plan and benefits plans are key elements of the total compensation package for our employees, including our NEOs.

Savings Plan

Enbridge provides a savings plan for Canadian employees and a 401(k) savings plan for U.S. employees. All NEOs participate in the savings plan on the same terms as eligible employees. The savings plans assist and encourage employees to save by matching 100% of employee contributions up to plan limits (maximum 2.5% and 6% of base salary for Canadian employees and U.S. employees, respectively) and subject to applicable tax limits. In Canada, matching contributions are provided as flex credits which may be used to purchase additional benefits or taken as after-tax cash; in the U.S., matching contributions are invested in the savings plan.

Life and health benefits

Medical, dental, life insurance and disability insurance benefits are available to meet the specific needs of individuals and their families. The NEOs participate in the same plan as all other employees. The plans are structured to provide minimum basic coverage with the option of enhanced coverage at a level that is competitive and affordable.

The HRC Committee reviews the retirement and other benefits regularly. These benefits are a key element of a total compensation package and are designed to be competitive and reasonably meet the needs of executives in their current roles.

Assumed equity-based compensation awards from Spectra Energy

On February 27, 2017, Enbridge Inc and Spectra Energy combined through a stock-for-stock merger transaction (the “Merger Transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Enbridge assumed all awards outstanding under the Spectra Energy Corp 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Spectra 2007 LTIP”) at the closing of the Merger Transaction (“Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards”). The Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards, including the shares of Enbridge issuable thereunder, were approved by Enbridge shareholders as part of the Merger Transaction on December 15, 2016. No further awards have been or will be granted under the Spectra 2007 LTIP following the closing of the Merger Transaction.

Spectra 2007 LTIP

 

The Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards remain subject to and will continue to be administered by Enbridge pursuant to the terms of Spectra 2007 LTIP. The following summarizes the material provisions of the Spectra 2007 LTIP to the extent applicable to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amended and restated Spectra 2007 LTIP, which is available on Enbridge’s profile on the SEC’s website at sec.gov.

 

.

General provisions

Number of shares. The aggregate number of Enbridge shares that may be issued pursuant to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards is 5,000,000 shares of Enbridge representing 0.25% of Enbridge’s outstanding and issued shares as at December 31, 2019.
Reservation of Shares. When Spectra Energy first adopted the Spectra 2007 LTIP in 2007, it reserved 30,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Spectra 2007 LTIP, with an additional 10,000,000 shares and 12,500,000 shares reserved following shareholder approval on April 19, 2011 and April 26, 2016, respectively. Immediately prior to closing of the Merger Transaction, there were 19,756,580 shares of Spectra Energy common stock available for future issuance under the Spectra 2007 LTIP. However, Enbridge determined that it would not grant any additional awards under the Spectra 2007 LTIP following the closing of the Merger Transaction and as a result, assumed only those shares issuable under the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards. All future equity-based awards granted by Enbridge (including those made to legacy Spectra Energy employees) will be awarded pursuant to Enbridge’s existing plans and not the Spectra 2007 LTIP.
Administration. Prior to the closing of the Merger Transaction, the Spectra 2007 LTIP was administered by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy, which had the authority to determine the persons to whom awards were granted, the types of awards granted, the time at which awards were to be granted, the number of shares, units or other rights subject to an award, and the terms and conditions of each award. Following the completion of the Merger Transaction, the Spectra 2007 LTIP will, solely to the extent applicable to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards, be administered by the HRC Committee consistent with the administration of Enbridge’s existing compensation programs.
Eligibility. All key employees of Spectra Energy and its subsidiaries and all non-employee directors were eligible for awards granted under the Spectra 2007 LTIP, as selected from time to time by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy in its sole discretion. As noted above, only those shares issuable under the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards were assumed by Enbridge in connection with the Merger Transaction and as a result, no additional awards will be granted by Enbridge to any individual under the Spectra 2007 LTIP.
Awards. As described in more detail below, the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards include Spectra Energy options.
Adjustments to awards. The HRC Committee may determine and implement appropriate adjustments to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards in the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or other similar change of control transactions.
Term and amendment. The Spectra 2007 LTIP has a term of ten years from the date of approval by the shareholders of Spectra Energy, which was last granted on April 26, 2016, subject to earlier termination or amendment in accordance with the terms of the Spectra 2007 LTIP. Any amendment to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards or the Spectra 2007 LTIP

63


 

that is implemented by the HRC Committee may not materially adversely affect the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards without consent of the holder of such award.
Assignability. A stock option granted under the Spectra 2007 LTIP may, solely to the extent permitted by the HRC Committee, be transferred to members of the participants’ immediate family or to trusts, partnerships or corporations whose beneficiaries, members or owners are members of the participant’s immediate family or such other person as may be approved by the HRC Committee in advance and set forth in the award agreement. All other Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards are not assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Stock options

Nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options. Spectra Energy granted options under the Spectra 2007 LTIP to purchase shares of Spectra Energy common stock (“Spectra Energy options”) to certain of its employees. As of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Transaction, there were 4,000 Spectra Energy options outstanding under the Spectra 2007 LTIP at a weighted average exercise price of US$26.33 per share of Spectra Energy common stock and 892,163 Spectra Energy options outstanding under the Spectra 2007 LTIP at a weighted average exercise price of US$28.40 per share of Spectra Energy common stock.
Exercise price. The exercise price of each Spectra Energy option was determined by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy at the date of grant, provided however, that the exercise price per option could not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the common stock of Spectra Energy as of the date of grant. As the exercise price of the Spectra Energy options was determined at the date of grant, the exercise price may be below the then current market price of the Enbridge shares at the time the options are exercised.
Vesting and term of stock options. The Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy prescribed in the award agreement applicable to each Spectra Energy option the time or times at which, or the conditions upon which, such option vests or becomes exercisable. Spectra Energy options generally have a term of ten years from date of grant and during such term, once vested, the option could be exercised, unless a shorter exercise period was specified by the Compensation Committee of Spectra Energy in an award agreement, and subject to such limitations as may apply under an award agreement relating to the termination of a participant’s employment or other service with Spectra Energy or any of its subsidiaries.
Treatment upon closing of the Merger Transaction. At the closing of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding Spectra Energy option, whether vested or unvested, was automatically converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the closing, the number of Enbridge shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Spectra Energy common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the closing and (ii) 0.984 (“Exchange Ratio”), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Spectra Energy common stock of such Spectra Energy option immediately prior to the closing divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The Spectra Energy options assumed by Enbridge in connection with the Merger Transaction are exercisable for 881,819 Enbridge shares at a weighted average exercise price of US$28.87 per share of Enbridge shares, vest at various dates until February 2019 and have various terms expiring on or before February 2026.

Other stock-based awards

Other stock-based awards. In addition to the Assumed Spectra LTIP Awards, Spectra Energy had other equity-based or equity-related awards representing a right to acquire or receive shares of Spectra Energy common stock or payments or benefits measured by the value thereof (“Spectra Energy other awards”) outstanding under the Spectra Energy Executive Savings Plan and the Spectra Energy Directors’ Savings Plan (“Spectra Savings Plans”).
Treatment upon closing of the Merger Transaction. At the closing of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding Spectra Energy other award was automatically converted into a right to acquire or receive benefits measured by the value of Enbridge shares, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Spectra Energy other award immediately prior to the closing. As converted, the number of Enbridge shares subject to such other award is equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Spectra Energy common stock subject to such award immediately prior to the closing and (ii) the Exchange Ratio. The Spectra Savings Plans have trust funding vehicles (commonly referred to as rabbi trusts) (“Spectra Savings Plan Trusts”). Obligations to fund the Spectra Savings Plan Trusts were triggered in connection with the Merger Transaction. For any share-settled Spectra Energy other awards, the Enbridge shares used to settle such awards will be obtained on the market by the trustee of the Spectra Savings Plan Trusts.

Director compensation

 

Philosophy and approach

The Board is responsible for developing and implementing the Directors’ Compensation Plan and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for director compensation to the Governance Committee.

Our Directors’ Compensation Plan is designed with four key objectives in mind:

Director compensation philosophy

 

https://cdn.kscope.io/c7936144d79aaee7a28d12077ef02991-img62633767_75.jpg

Attract and retain
qualified directors

 

Reflect
responsibilities

 

 

 

Be competitive

 

Align with
shareholders

 

While our executive compensation program is designed around pay for performance, director compensation is based on annual retainers. This is designed to meet our compensation objectives and to help ensure our directors remain independent when making decisions and carrying out their duties while serving on our Board.

 

About DSUs

A deferred share unit (“DSU”) is a notional share that has the same value as one Enbridge common share. Its value fluctuates with variations in the market price of Enbridge shares. DSUs do not have voting rights but they accrue dividends as additional DSUs, at the same rate as dividends paid on our common shares.

 

The Governance Committee uses a peer group of companies to set the annual retainers for our Board and targets director compensation at or about the 50th percentile. See “Benchmarking to peers” on page 29 for more information about our peer group and how we benchmark executive compensation.

The Governance Committee reviews the Directors’ Compensation Plan every year, with assistance from management. Each year, as part of this review, the Governance Committee considers the time commitment and experience required of our directors. The Governance Committee also reviews the Directors’ Compensation Plan to assess whether the program remains appropriate and reports its findings to the Board.

Every second year, we retain an external consultant to conduct a comprehensive review, including peer analysis and benchmarking to the peer group. This comprehensive review was last completed in 2025. Following this review, and in line with our director compensation philosophy of targeting director compensation at or about the 50th percentile in our peer group, the Board of Directors, on recommendation of the Governance Committee, approved changes to director compensation, effective January 1, 2025, including a US$15,000 increase in the annual Board retainer and a US$5,000 increase in the annual Sustainability Committee and Safety and Reliability Committee Chair retainers. These amounts remain unchanged for 2026.

All non-employee director compensation in 2025 was paid under the Directors’ Compensation Plan. We do not compensate non-employee directors under our 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan for employees. All retainers are payable in U.S. dollars regardless of director residency.

Director share ownership requirements

We expect directors to own Enbridge shares so that they have an ongoing stake in the Company and are aligned with the interests of shareholders. Within five years of becoming a director, each director is required to hold at least US$945,000 in Enbridge shares and/or DSUs, being three times the annual Board retainer of US$315,000. See “Change in director equity ownership” on page 70 for more information.

If a decrease in the market value of Enbridge shares results in a director no longer meeting the share ownership requirements, we expect the director to acquire additional Enbridge shares in order to satisfy the minimum threshold.

DSUs are paid out when a director retires from the Board. They are settled in cash, based on the weighted average of the trading price of common shares on the TSX for the last five trading days before the date that is three trading days before the payment date, multiplied by the number of DSUs the director holds. Directors may not engage in equity monetization transactions or hedges involving securities of Enbridge (see “Insider trading and prohibition on hedging and pledging” on page 26).

Director compensation components

Our Directors’ Compensation Plan has four components:

an annual retainer
an annual retainer if they serve as the Chair of the Board or chair of a Board committee
a fee for travelling to Board and Board committee meetings from the director’s home state or province to a meeting in another state or province
reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses relating to their duties as a director

We do not provide meeting attendance fees.

Our Directors’ Compensation Plan has been in effect since 2004. The table below shows the fee schedule for directors in 2025, which remains unchanged for 2026.

Directors are paid quarterly. Mr. Ebel does not receive any director compensation because he is compensated in his role as our President & CEO. We do not grant stock options to directors. Directors can receive their retainer in a combination of cash, Enbridge shares and DSUs, but they must receive a minimum amount in DSUs. DSUs may only be granted to a director in lieu of cash fees on a value-for-value basis. Travel fees are paid in cash.

Before a director’s minimum share ownership is met, at least 50% of their retainer will be paid in the form of DSUs, with the balance paid in cash, Enbridge shares or DSUs, in a percentage mix they choose. Once a director’s minimum share ownership is met, they can choose to receive between 35 and 100% of their retainer in DSUs, with the balance paid in cash, Enbridge shares or DSUs, in a percentage mix they choose. Directors are allocated the DSUs and Enbridge shares based on the weighted average of the trading price of the Enbridge shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the date that is two weeks prior to the date of payment. Directors who do not make a timely election as to the form in which they wish to receive their retainer will receive the applicable minimum amount in DSUs and the balance in cash.

The table below shows the compensation components in which each director’s annual retainer for the year ended December 31, 2025, was delivered.

2.
Directors must hold at least three times their annual US$315,000 Board retainer in DSUs or Enbridge shares within five years of becoming a director on our Board. Amounts are converted to C$ using US$1 = C$1.3708, the published WM/Reuters 4 pm London exchange rate for December 31, 2025. All current directors meet or exceed this requirement except Mr. Few, Ms. Minhas, and Mr. Foshee, who have until May 4, 2027, November 28, 2028, and January 1, 2030, respectively, to meet this requirement.
3.
Mr. Ebel did not receive any compensation as a director of Enbridge; he is compensated for his role as President & CEO. Prior to becoming President & CEO, Mr. Ebel received DSUs as compensation for being a director and continues to receive dividends on those DSUs.

Non-GAAP reconciliation

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A contains references to non-GAAP and other financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, DCF and DCF per common share. Management believes the presentation of these metrics gives useful information to investors and shareholders as they provide increased transparency and insight into the performance of the Company.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors on both a consolidated and segmented basis. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to set targets and to assess the performance of the Company and its business units.

Distributable cash flow

DCF and DCF per common share are measures used for purposes of Enbridge's executive compensation programs. The following table presents the reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to DCF. DCF is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities (including changes in environmental liabilities) less distributions to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests, preference share dividends and maintenance capital expenditures, and further adjusted for unusual, non-recurring or non-operating factors. Management also uses DCF to assess the performance of the Company and to set its dividend payout target. DCF for the year ended December 31, 2025, has been converted to DCF per share by taking DCF of $12,454 million and dividing by 2,180 million, the weighted average number of Enbridge shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025. For purposes of the 2025 STIP award determinations as described on page 36, DCF was converted to DCF per share by taking DCF of $12,417 million and dividing by 2,180 million, the weighted average number of Enbridge shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025. For purposes of 2023 PSU payout determinations as described on page 40, DCF was converted to DCF per share by taking DCF of $12,404 million and dividing by 2,180 million, the weighted average number of Enbridge shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

Our non-GAAP measures described above are not measures that have standardized meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and are not U.S. GAAP measures. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP and other financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available on the Company’s website. Additional information on non-GAAP and other financial measures may be found in the Company’s earnings news releases or in additional information on the Company’s website, sedarplus.ca or sec.gov.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Equity Compensation Plan Information

See Item 11 – “Shares reserved for equity compensation as of December 31, 2025” for information regarding our equity plan compensation on page 55.

Security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management

Beneficial ownership table

The table below sets forth the number and percentage of outstanding Enbridge shares beneficially owned by each of our directors, director nominees, NEOs and all directors and executive officers as a group, as of the date of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A. The number of Enbridge shares beneficially owned by each person is determined under applicable SEC rules. Under these rules, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares over which that person, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting or investment power, plus any shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days, including through the exercise of stock options. Unless otherwise indicated, for each person named in the table, the number in the “Number of Enbridge shares acquirable within 60 days” column includes shares covered by stock options that may be exercised and that vest within 60 days after March 3, 2026, as well as shares acquired on settlement of RSUs within 60 days after March 3, 2026. Unless otherwise indicated in the table, the address of each of the individuals below is c/o Enbridge Inc., 200, 425 – 1st Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3L8.

Handling conflicts of interest and related person transactions

If a director or officer has a material interest in a transaction or agreement involving Enbridge, or otherwise identifies a potential personal conflict, they must declare the conflict or potential conflict. A director who has a material interest, conflict or potential conflict in a matter must abstain from voting on that matter at any Board meeting where it is being discussed or considered. This approach is consistent with the requirements of the CBCA.

In making director independence determinations, the Board reviews related person transactions, assisted by the completion of annual questionnaires by directors and officers of the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, a “related person transaction” is a transaction in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds US$120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Related person means (i) a director, nominee director or executive officer of the Company; (ii) an immediate family

member of a director, nominee director or executive officer, or (iii) a beneficial holder of greater than five per cent of the Company’s shares or an immediate family member of such holder. In 2025, there were no related person transactions that required approval or disclosure.

The SOBC requires that all officers and directors avoid conflicts of interest and disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest. Any actual or potential conflicts of interest disclosed are reviewed by the Company’s Ethics and Compliance Department for appropriate follow-up and reporting. Any waiver from any part of the SOBC requires the approval of the CEO, and for executive officers, senior financial officers and members of the Board, a waiver requires the express approval of the Board. In 2025, neither the CEO nor the Board provided approval of any waivers respecting the SOBC.

Independence

The Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing that the Board functions independently of management. The majority of our directors must be independent, as defined by Canadian securities regulators in NI 52-110, NYSE rules and SEC rules and regulations. Our Governance Guidelines provide that the Board shall consist of a substantial majority of independent directors. The Board uses a detailed annual questionnaire to assist in determining if each director is independent and makes this determination annually or more frequently, as required.

The Board has determined that 11 of our 12 director nominees, including the Chair of the Board, are independent. Mr. Ebel is not independent because he is our President & CEO. Each of the Board’s five standing committees is comprised entirely of independent directors.

Pre-approval policies and procedures

The AFRC has adopted a policy that requires pre-approval by the AFRC of any services to be provided by the Company’s external auditors, whether those services are audit or non-audit related. This policy prohibits the Company from engaging the auditors to provide the following non-audit services:

• bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records or financial statements

• financial information systems design or implementation

• appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports

• actuarial services

• internal audit outsourcing services

• management functions

• human resources

• broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services

• legal services

• expert services unrelated to the audit of consolidated financial statements

• any services or product provided for a contingent fee or commission, either directly or indirectly

• tax services related to marketing, planning or opining in favour of the tax treatment of confidential transactions or aggressive tax position transactions

 

 

The AFRC has also adopted a policy which prohibits the Company from hiring (as a full time employee, contractor or otherwise) into a financial reporting oversight role any current or former employee or partner of its external auditor who provided audit, review or attestation services in respect of the Company’s financial statements (including financial statements of its reporting issuer subsidiaries and significant investees) during the 12 month period preceding the date of the initiation of the current annual audit.

The policy further prohibits the hiring of a former partner of the Company’s external auditor who receives pension benefits from the firm, unless such pension benefits are of a fixed amount, not dependent upon firm earnings and fully funded. In all cases, the hiring of any partner or employee or former partner or employee of the independent auditor is subject to joint approval by the lead engagement partner and the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer.

You can find further information about the roles and responsibilities of the AFRC beginning on page 19.
