Optional Redemption for Tax

Reasons:

The Issuer may redeem the notes at its option, in whole but not in part, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, if (i) as a result of any change (including any announced prospective change) in or amendment to the laws or treaties (or any rules, regulations, rulings or administrative pronouncements thereunder) of Canada or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, treaties, rules, regulations, rulings or administrative pronouncements (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after April 14, 2026, in the written opinion of our legal counsel of recognized standing, we have or will become obligated to pay, on the next succeeding date on which interest is due, additional amounts (as described in the pricing supplement) (assuming, in the case of any announced prospective change, that such announced change will become effective as of the date specified in such announcement and in the form announced); or (ii) on or after April 14, 2026, any action has been taken by any taxing authority of, or any decision has been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, Canada or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including any of those actions specified in the paragraph immediately above, whether or not such action was taken or decision was rendered with respect to us, or any change, amendment, application or interpretation shall be officially proposed, which, in any such case, in the written opinion of our legal counsel of recognized standing, will result in our becoming obligated to pay, on the next succeeding date on which interest is due, additional amounts (as described in the pricing supplement) (assuming, in the case of any announced prospective change, that such announced change will become effective as of the date specified in such announcement and in the form announced), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) not less than 5 days nor more than 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed.

Optional Make-Whole

Redemption:

The Issuer may redeem the notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to May 3, 2031 (the date that is one year prior to the Maturity Date), at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming the notes matured on May 3, 2031) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the “Treasury Rate” plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued on those notes to the redemption date; and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date. Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) not less than 5 days nor more than 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the notes (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the maturity date of the notes on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the maturity date of the notes, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the maturity date of the notes but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the maturity date of the notes, one with a maturity date preceding the maturity date of the notes and one with a maturity date following the maturity date of the notes, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the maturity date of the notes. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the maturity date of the notes or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Optional Par Call Redemption:	The Issuer may redeem the notes at its option (i) in whole, but not in part, on May 3, 2031 (the date that is one year prior to the Maturity Date) or (ii) in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after April 3, 2032 (the date that is 30-days prior to the Maturity Date), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) not less than 5 days nor more than 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed.

Canadian Bail-in Powers Acknowledgment:	The Notes are subject to bail-in conversion under the Canadian bail-in regime.
