EXPLANATORY NOTE: DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On February 27, 2015, TECO Energy, Inc. (TECO Energy) filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-202373) (the “Registration Statement”), which registered a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock of TECO Energy, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be offered in connection with TECO Energy’s Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

On July 1, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 4, 2015, among TECO Energy, Emera Inc., a Nova Scotia corporation (“Emera”), and Emera US Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into TECO Energy with TECO Energy continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Emera (the “Merger”).

As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $27.55 in cash, without interest, and TECO Energy has terminated its Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan and all offerings of its Common Stock under existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, TECO Energy is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister and remove all the shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement which remain unissued and unsold as of the date hereof.
