On July 28, 2020, TC PipeLines, LP (the “Partnership”) received notice that, effective August 31, 2020, Sean Brett will retire from TC Energy Corporation, the ultimate parent company of the Partnership’s general partner, TC PipeLines GP, Inc. (the “General Partner”), and resign as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the General Partner. Mr. Brett’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with the Partnership, its management or the Board on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

On July 28, 2020, Walentin (Val) Mirosh notified that Partnership that he will resign as a member of the Board, and any committees of the Board, effective August 4, 2020. His resignation is not due to any disagreement with the Partnership, its management or the Board on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Mirosh’s resignation will result in a vacancy for an independent director on the Audit Committee and the Conflicts Committee of the Board. Following his departure, the Audit Committee will have two members who satisfy the independence requirements of Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Partnership is actively searching for an independent director to replace Mr. Mirosh and to comply with Section 303A.07 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires a listed company’s audit committee to have a minimum of three independent directors.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
