EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 6, 2015, TECO Energy, Inc. (TECO Energy), Tampa Electric Company and TECO Finance, Inc. (“TECO Finance”) filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-202565) (the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission using a shelf registration process. The Registration Statement contained two forms of prospectuses to be used in connection with offerings of the following securities:

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, on July 1, 2016, TECO Energy terminated all offerings of its Common Stock, Stock Purchase Contracts, Stock Purchase Units and Common Stock Warrants (the “Equity Securities”) under existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. On such date, TECO Energy filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister and remove from registration the Equity Securities.

TECO Energy has now terminated all offerings of its securities and the securities of its subsidiary, TECO Finance, pursuant to 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 and TECO Finance are filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement to deregister and remove all securities of TECO Energy and TECO Finance registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unissued and unsold as of the date hereof. Neither TECO Energy nor TECO Finance will use the Registration Statement in connection with the offer or sale of securities in the future.

The Registration Statement will remain effective with respect to Tampa Electric Company.
