All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections

or in any subsequently filed document, which also is, or is deemed to be, incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under the Corporations Act (Newfoundland and Labrador) (the “Corporations
Act”), except in respect of an action by or on the Company’s behalf to obtain a judgment in the Company’s favor,
the Company may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or has acted at the Company’s
request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and
legal representatives (each, an “indemnified person”), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount
paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the indemnified person in respect of a civil, criminal or administrative
action or proceeding to which the indemnified person is made a party by reason of being or having been the Company’s director or
officer or that of a body corporate, if the director or officer to be indemnified (i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view
to the Company’s best interests, and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced
by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. The Company may with the approval of a
court indemnify an indemnified person in respect of an action by or on the Company’s behalf to obtain a judgment in the Company’s
favor or by or on behalf of another body corporate to obtain a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party because of being
or having been the Company’s director or officer or, at the Company’s request, being or having been a director or officer
of such other body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action
where the person fulfils the conditions set out in (i) and (ii) above.
Under Section 207 of the Corporations Act, notwithstanding the
above, an indemnified person is entitled to indemnity from the Company in respect of costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by
the person in connection with the defense of a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the person is made a party
because of being or having been the Company’s director or officer or a director or officer of a body corporate, where the person
seeking indemnity:
| · | was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defense of the action or proceeding; |
| · | qualifies in accordance with the standards set out in the above paragraph; and |
| · | is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. |
In addition, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance for
the benefit of an indemnified person against liability incurred by the person (a) in his or her capacity as the Company’s
director or officer, except where the liability relates to his or her failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the
Company’s best interests; or (b) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of another body corporate where he or
she acts or acted in that capacity at the Company’s request, except where the liability relates to his or her failure to act
honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of that body corporate.
Subject to the above provisions of the Corporations Act, the Company’s
by-laws require the Company to indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or has acted at the
Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, or his or her heirs
and legal representatives against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment,
reasonably incurred by the person in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the individual is
involved because of that association with the Company or such other entity. The Company’s by-laws authorize the Company to purchase
and maintain insurance for the benefit of any such person against such liabilities and in such amounts as the Company’s board may
determine and are permitted by the Corporations Act. The Company’s by-laws further authorize the Company to execute indemnity agreements
evidencing the Company’s indemnity in favor of the foregoing persons to the full extent permitted by law. The Company’s by-laws
provide that, unless prohibited by the Corporations Act, the Company may advance moneys to any director, officer or other person for the
costs, charges and expenses of any such proceeding; provided, however, that such person must repay the moneys to the Company if the individual
is found to not be entitled to indemnification under the Corporations Act.
The Company has purchased insurance against potential claims against
the Company’s directors or officers and against loss for which the Company may be required or permitted by law to indemnify such
directors and officers. The Company has also entered into indemnity agreements with the Company’s directors and officers which provide,
among other things, that the Company will indemnify such persons to the full extent permitted by law. Pursuant to these agreements, the
Company has agreed to provide such persons an advance of defense costs prior to final disposition of a proceeding, subject to an obligation
for such persons to repay such advance if the individual is found to not be entitled to indemnification under the Corporations Act or
otherwise at law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibit Index to this Registration Statement
is incorporated herein by reference as the list of exhibits required as part of this Registration Statement.
Item 9. Undertakings.
| (a) | The Registrant hereby undertakes: |
| 1. | To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; |
provided,
however, that paragraphs 1(i) and 1(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post- effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
| 2. | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| 3. | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
| (b) | The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering hereof. |
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue. |

1.05 COMPENSATION
Compensation, as defined in Subsection 2.01(k) of the
Basic Plan Document, shall be modified as provided below.
| (a) | Compensation
Base - The base for the definition of Compensation described in Section 2.01(k),
prior to
making the additional adjustments described in subsections (b) and (c) below, shall
be as follows: |
|
(1) |
x |
A W-2 definition
as described in 2.01(k)(1)(A). |

as described in 2.01(k)(1)(C). |
| (b) | Additional
Alterations - For all purposes except as noted below (and as found in Sections 6.01
and 15.03 of the Basic Plan Document), Compensation as selected above shall be adjusted by
excluding all of the following (or making the specific adjustments described on the Compensation
Addendum if Option (10) is selected): |
| (1) | x |
Reimbursements
or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), moving expenses, all deferred
compensation, and welfare benefits. |
| (2) | x |
Differential
Wages (as defined in Section 2.01(k)(2)(B)(i)). |

pay received prior to termination of employment. (Severance pay for this purpose would
be amounts other than those described in Section 2.0](k)(2)(B)(ii) and any such
amounts received following severance from employment would always be excluded.) |
| (9) | Amounts
paid to, or on behalf of, the Employee to reduce or offset student loan repayment obligations. |
| (10) | The
Plan has other alterations to the definition of Compensation which cannot be captured solely
by the above exclusions. All alterations to the definition of Compensation will be found
in the Compensation Addendum rather than this subsection. |
Note:
Generally, if the Employer makes no selections or selects only options (1), (2) and/or (3) above, Compensation will not be
required to be tested to show that it meets the requirements of Code Section 414(s) and it will be deemed an acceptable definition
of Compensation for 401(k) Safe Harbor Nonelective Employer Contributions. If the Employer selects any of options (4) –
(9), then it must be determined that the type of Compensation excluded is irregular or additional based on all the relevant facts and
circumstances and must generally meet the following requirements: (1) for Nonelective Employer Contributions other than 401(k) Safe
Harbor Nonelective Contributions, the Plan must either pass the requirements under Code Section 414(s) or must pass the general
test under regulations issued under Code Section 401(a)(4); (2) for 401(k) Safe Harbor Nonelective Employer Contributions,
Compensation must be tested to show that it meets the requirements of Code Section 414(s); (3) for Deferral Contributions and
Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contributions, a Participant must be permitted to make Deferral Contributions under the Plan sufficient
to receive the full 401(k) Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contribution, determined as a percentage of Compensation meeting the requirements
of Code Section 414(s); (4) for Matching Employer Contributions (other than 401(k) Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contributions),
Compensation for purposes of applying the limitations on Matching Employer Contributions described in Section 6.10 of the Basic
Plan Document (for deemed satisfaction of the "ACP" test) must be tested to show that it meets the requirements of Code Section 414(s).
Unless elected otherwise above or in the Compensation Addendum, Compensation will include amounts described in Section 2.01(k)(2)(A) and
(B) of the Basic Plan Document and exclude deemed Code Section 125 compensation. If the Plan is determined to be top heavy
(in accordance with Option 1.22 and Article 15 of the Basic Plan Document), then contributions made pursuant to Section 15.03
of the Basic Plan Document will be based on Compensation without the above chosen exclusions.

provided in Section 5.07 of the Basic Plan Document or as otherwise provided below, Qualified Nonelective Employer Contributions
shall be allocated to all Participants who were eligible to participate in the Plan at any time during the Plan Year and are Non-Highly
Compensated Employees (except as may be modified in the Nonelective Employer Contributions Addendum with regard to prevailing wage contributions)

PROVISIONS AND PROTECTED BENEFITS

SUPERSEDING PROVISIONS
| (a) | The
Employer has completed the Plan Superseding Provisions Addendum to show the provisions of
the Plan which supersede provisions of this Adoption Agreement and/or the Basic Plan Document. |
Note:
If the Employer elects superseding provisions in Option (a) above, unless such provisions are of the type found in Section 8.03
of Revenue Procedure 2017-41 as not causing a plan to fail to be identical (i.e., changes to the administrative provisions of
the Plan, such as provisions relating to investments or plan claims procedures), the Employer will not be permitted to rely on the Pre-Approved
Plan Provider’s opinion letter for qualification of its Plan. In addition, such superseding provisions may in certain circumstances
affect the Plan's status as a pre-approved plan eligible for the 6-year remedial amendment cycle. Superseding provisions which alter
only provisions governed by Title I of ERISA and solely administered by the Department of Labor will not impact the ability of the Employer
to rely upon the Pre-Approved Plan Provider’s opinion letter because they are outside the scope of such opinion letter.
1.27 RELIANCE
ON OPINION LETTER
An adopting Employer may rely on an
opinion letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service as evidence that this Plan is qualified under Code Section 401 only to the
extent provided in Section 7.02 of Revenue Procedure 2017-41. The Employer may not rely on the opinion letter in certain other circumstances
or with respect to certain qualification requirements, which are specified in the opinion letter issued with respect to this Plan and
in Section 7.03 of Revenue Procedure 2017-41. In order to have reliance in such circumstances or with respect to such qualification
requirements, application for a determination letter must be made to Employee Plans Determinations of the Internal Revenue Service.

Exhibit 4.7
Compensation, as defined in
Subsection 2.01(k) of the Basic Plan Document, shall be modified as provided below.
| (a) | Compensation
Base - The base for the definition of Compensation described in Section 2.01(k),
prior to making the additional adjustments described in subsections (b) and (c) below,
shall be as follows: |
| (1) | þ |
A
W-2 definition as described in 2.01(k)(1)(A). |

Code Section 3401(a) wages definition as described in 2.01(k)(1)(B). |

| (b) | Additional
Alterations - For all purposes except as noted below (and as found in Sections 6.01
and 15.03 of the Basic Plan Document), Compensation as selected above shall be adjusted by
excluding all of the following (or making the specific adjustments described on the Compensation
Addendum if Option (10) is selected): |
| (1) | ¨ |
Reimbursements
or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), moving expenses, all deferred
compensation, and welfare benefits. |
| (2) | ¨ |
Differential
Wages (as defined in Section 2.01(k)(2)(B)(i)). |

Unused
leave (as described in Section 2.01(k)(2)(B)(ii)(II)). |

Amounts
paid to, or on behalf of, the Employee to reduce or offset student loan repayment obligations. |
| (10) | þ |
The
Plan has other alterations to the definition of Compensation which cannot be captured solely
by the above exclusions. All alterations to the definition of Compensation will be found
in the Compensation Addendum rather than this subsection. |
Note:
Generally, if the Employer makes no selections or selects only options (1), (2) and/or (3) above, Compensation will not be
required to be tested to show that it meets the requirements of Code Section 414(s) and it will be deemed an acceptable definition
of Compensation for 401(k) Safe Harbor Nonelective Employer Contributions. If the Employer selects any of options (4) –
(9), then it must be determined that the type of Compensation excluded is irregular or additional based on all the relevant facts and
circumstances and must generally meet the following requirements: (1) for Nonelective Employer Contributions other than 401(k) Safe
Harbor Nonelective Contributions, the Plan must either pass the requirements under Code Section 414(s) or must pass the general
test under regulations issued under Code Section 401(a)(4); (2) for 401(k) Safe Harbor Nonelective Employer Contributions,
Compensation must be tested to show that it meets the requirements of Code Section 414(s); (3) for Deferral Contributions and
Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contributions, a Participant must be permitted to make Deferral Contributions under the Plan sufficient
to receive the full 401(k) Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contribution, determined as a percentage of Compensation meeting the requirements
of Code Section 414(s); (4) for Matching Employer Contributions (other than 401(k) Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contributions),
Compensation for purposes of applying the limitations on Matching Employer Contributions described in Section 6.10 of the Basic
Plan Document (for deemed satisfaction of the "ACP" test) must be tested to show that it meets the requirements of Code Section 414(s).
Unless elected otherwise above or in the Compensation Addendum, Compensation will include amounts described in Section 2.01(k)(2)(A) and
(B) of the Basic Plan Document and exclude deemed Code Section 125 compensation. If the Plan is determined to be top heavy
(in accordance with Option 1.22 and Article 15 of the Basic Plan Document), then contributions made pursuant to Section 15.03
of the Basic Plan Document will be based on Compensation without the above chosen exclusions.

401(k) Safe Harbor Nonelective Employer Contributions, Compensation must not, for Non-Highly Compensated Employees, exclude amounts
over a certain dollar amount (except as otherwise provided by Code Section 401(a)(17)) and must be tested to show that it meets
the requirements of Code Section 414(s); (3) for Deferral Contributions and Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contributions, a

the limitations on Matching Employer Contributions described in Section 6.10 of the Basic Plan Document (for deemed satisfaction
of the "ACP" test) must be tested to show that it meets the requirements of Code Section 414(s). Unless elected otherwise
above, Compensation will include amounts described in Section 2.01(k)(2)(A) and (B) of the Basic Plan Document and exclude
deemed Code Section 125 compensation. If the Plan is determined to be top heavy (in accordance with Option 1.22 and Article 15

Exhibit 4.8
| 1.10 | QUALIFIED
NONELECTIVE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS |
| (a) | Qualified Nonelective Employer
Contributions - The Employer may contribute an amount which it designates as a Qualified
Nonelective Employer Contribution for any permissible purpose, as provided in Section 5.07
of the Basic Plan Document. If Option 1.07(a) or 1.08(a)(1) is checked, except
as provided in Section 5.07 of the Basic Plan Document or as otherwise provided below,
Qualified Nonelective Employer Contributions shall be allocated to all Participants who were
eligible to participate in the Plan at any time during the Plan Year and are Non-Highly Compensated
Employees (except as may be modified in the Nonelective Employer Contributions Addendum with
regard to prevailing wage contributions) in the ratio which each such Participant's "testing
compensation", as defined in Subsection 6.01(s) of the Basic Plan Document, for
the Plan Year bears to the total of all such Participants' "testing compensation"
for the Plan Year. |
| (1) | þ |
Qualified
Nonelective Employer Contributions shall be allocated only among such Participants described
above who are designated by the Employer as eligible to receive a Qualified Nonelective Employer
Contribution for the Plan Year. The amount of the Qualified Nonelective Employer Contribution
allocated to each such Participant shall be as designated by the Employer, but not in excess
of the "regulatory maximum." The "regulatory maximum" means the amount
prescribed in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2 which is 5% (10% for Qualified
Nonelective Contributions made in connection with the Employer's obligation to pay prevailing
wages) of the "testing compensation" for such Participant for the Plan Year. The
"regulatory maximum" shall apply separately with respect to Qualified Nonelective
Contributions to be included in the "ADP" test and Qualified Nonelective Contributions
to be included in the "ACP" test. (Cannot be selected if the Employer has elected
prior year testing in Subsection 1.06(a)(2).) |
| Note: | Each
eligible Participant who is a Non-Highly Compensated Employee will be considered his own
allocation group. The Employer shall notify the Plan Administrator of the amount allocable
to each group. |

Ms. Judy Michaels, Benefits Director
ITC Holdings
27175 Energy Way
Novi, MI 48377
Re: ITC
Savings & Investment Plan
Dear Ms. Michaels:
I am responding to your request for information
regarding the ITC Savings & Investment Plan (the “Plan”).
International Transmission Company established
the Plan effective March 1, 2003, to provide retirement savings to eligible employees of International Transmission Company, ITC
Holdings Corp. and other related employers that have adopted the Plan (in the aggregate the “Employer”).
I have reviewed the Plan documents, which are
maintained through Pre-Approved Defined Contribution Plan documents with FMR LLC (Fidelity), which were most recently amended and restated
in its entirety effective September 21, 2021, and has been subsequently amended through Amendments (i) effective January 1,
2022, (ii) effective November 15, 2022, (iii) January 1, 2024, (iv) April 1, 2024 (v) effective June 17,
2024 and (vi) effective September 16, 2024. The Employer may rely on the enclosed opinion letter issued by the IRS to FMR LLC
as evidence that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), pursuant
to Revenue Procedure 2017-41. The Plan also is intended to comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”),
including ERISA Section 404(c) regarding the Plan participants control over investment of their assets under the Plan.
The Employer created the Retirement Benefits Board
(“RBB”) and delegated to the RBB certain administrative and management authorities, including selection and removal of investment
offerings available to Plan participants.
The RBB engaged Fidelity and Dykema to review
the addition of Fortis, Inc. stock, which is the parent company of the Employer, as an investment alternative under the Plan. We
determined that the addition of Fortis, Inc. stock would be considered “qualifying employer securities” under ERISA Section 407(e)(1) and
would not otherwise result in qualification or compliance concerns under the Code and ERISA.
California | Illinois | Michigan | Minnesota | North Carolina | Texas | Washington, D.C.
Based on our review of the Plan, we are of the
opinion that the provisions of the written documents constituting the Plan comply with the requirements of the Code and ERISA.
We understand that you wish to file this opinion
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Form S-8 in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of
Regulation S-K promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and we hereby
consent thereto. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
Sincerely,
Dykema
Gossett PLLC
