EXPLANATORY NOTE
On January 31, 2020, Fortis Inc. (the “Registrant”)
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-236213) (the “Registration Statement”) registering 810,000 common shares of the Registrant (“Common
Shares”) issuable under the Registrant’s 2020 Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”).
On November 17, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Registrant
approved an amendment to the RSU Plan, which amendment takes effect on January 1, 2022, among other things, to add a “double-trigger”
vesting requirement upon a change of control of the Registrant, meaning that vesting of unvested awards occurs if a participant’s
employment terminates either without cause or for “good reason” within the 24-month period following a change of control (the
RSU Plan, as so amended and restated, the “Amended RSU Plan”).
This
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (this “Amendment”) is being filed by the Registrant
for the purpose of updating the exhibits to the Registration Statement to reflect the Amended RSU Plan. Except as described herein,
this Amendment does not update, amend or modify any other information, statement or disclosure contained in the Registration Statement.
