[1] On February 22, 2018, Just Energy issued $100 million of convertible unsecured senior subordinated debentures (the "6.75% $100 million convertible debentures"). The 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 6.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 in each year, and have a maturity date of March 31, 2023. Each $1,000 principal amount of the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures is convertible at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the maturity date and the last business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption into 112.3596 common shares of Just Energy, representing a conversion price of $8.90, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions. Holders who convert their debentures will receive accrued and unpaid interest for the period from and including the date of the latest interest payment up to, but excluding, the date of conversion. The 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures will not be redeemable at the option of the Company on or before March 31, 2021. After March 31, 2021 and prior to March 31, 2022, the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Company on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior notice, at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the weighted average trading price of the common shares of Just Energy on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is given is at least 125% of the conversion price. On or after March 31, 2022, the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Company on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days’ prior notice, at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The conversion feature of the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures has been accounted for as a separate component of shareholders' equity in the amount of $9.7 million. Upon initial recognition of the convertible debentures, Just Energy recorded a deferred tax liability of $2.6 million and reduced the equity component of the convertible debentures by this amount. The remainder of the net proceeds of the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures has been recorded as long-term debt, which is being accreted up to the face value of $100 million over the term of the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures using an effective interest rate of 10.7%. If the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures are converted into common shares, the value of the conversion will be reclassified to share capital along with the principal amount converted. No amounts of the 6.75% $100 million convertible debentures have been converted or redeemed as at March 31, 2018.

[9] On January 29, 2014, Just Energy issued US$150 million of European-focused senior convertible unsecured convertible bonds (the "6.5% convertible bonds"). The 6.5% convertible bonds bear interest at an annual rate of 6.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears in equal installments on January 29 and July 29 in each year, and have a maturity date of July 29, 2019. A Conversion Right in respect of a bond may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time from May 30, 2014 to July 7, 2019. The initial conversion price is US$9.3762 per common share (being C$10.2819) but is subject to adjustments. In the event of the exercise of a Conversion Right, the Company may, at its option, subject to applicable regulatory approval and provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing, elect to satisfy its obligation in cash equal to the market value of the underlying shares to be received. As a result of the debt being denominated in a different functional currency than that of Just Energy, the conversion feature is recorded as a financial liability instead of a component of equity. Therefore, the conversion feature of the 6.5% convertible bonds has been accounted for as a separate financial liability with an initial value of US$8,517. The remainder of the net proceeds of the 6.5% convertible bonds has been recorded as long-term debt, which is being accreted up to the face value of $150.0 million over the term of the 6.5% convertible bonds using an effective interest rate of 8.8%. At each reporting period, the conversion feature is recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss. As at March 31, 2018, the fair value of this conversion feature is US$0.2 million and is included in other non-current financial liabilities. No amounts of the 6.5% convertible bonds have been converted or redeemed as at March 31, 2018.

[14] On January 29, 2014, Just Energy issued US$150 million of European-focused senior convertible unsecured convertible bonds (the "6.5% convertible bonds"). The 6.5% convertible bonds bear interest at an annual rate of 6.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears in equal installments on January 29 and July 29 in each year, and have a maturity date of July 29, 2019. A Conversion Right in respect of a bond may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time from May 30, 2014 to July 7, 2019. The initial conversion price is US$9.3762 per common share (being C$10.2819) but is subject to adjustments. In the event of the exercise of a Conversion Right, the Company may, at its option, subject to applicable regulatory approval and provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing, elect to satisfy its obligation in cash equal to the market value of the underlying shares to be received. As a result of the debt being denominated in a different functional currency than that of Just Energy, the conversion feature is recorded as a financial liability instead of a component of equity. Therefore, the conversion feature of the 6.5% convertible bonds has been accounted for as a separate financial liability with an initial value of US$8,517. The remainder of the net proceeds of the 6.5% convertible bonds has been recorded as long-term debt, which is being accreted up to the face value of $150.0 million over the term of the 6.5% convertible bonds using an effective interest rate of 8.8%. At each reporting period, the conversion feature is recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss. As at March 31, 2018, the fair value of this conversion feature is US$0.2 million and is included in other non-current financial liabilities. No amounts of the 6.5% convertible bonds have been converted or redeemed as at March 31, 2018.

The 6.0% convertible debentures bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31, with an original maturity date of June 30, 2017.

Of the amount paid, $222 million was recorded as a reduction in the liability component of the 6.0% convertible debentures, a non-cash loss on early redemption of $3.1 million was classified as finance costs, and $12.9 million was recorded as an increase in contributed surplus. On February 21, 2017, Just Energy redeemed $94.6 million of the 6.0% convertible debentures.
