Redeemable at any time prior to May 14, 2029 (one month prior to their maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”) at a redemption price equal

to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the Canada Yield Price, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Notes being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of the Notes, calculated by the issuer as of the third business day prior to the day notice of redemption is given in respect of such Notes, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Notes to be redeemed from the redemption date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield on such business day plus 25.5 basis points.

 

“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada selected by the issuer, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond would carry if issued in Canadian dollars in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date.

 

 

 

 

 

Par Call:

Redeemable at any time on or after the Par Call Date in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Delivery of the Notes is expected to be made against payment for the Notes on June 13, 2024, which will be the second business day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+2”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+2, to specify alternate settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisers.
