Optional Interest Deferral:    Maximum of 10 consecutive years per deferral.

Price to Public:    100.000%


Optional Redemption:    The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Subordinated Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time (i) on any day in the period commencing on (and including) March 1, 2030 (being the date falling three months prior to the Initial Interest Reset Date (as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement)) and ending on (and including) June 1, 2030; and (ii) after June 1, 2030 on any Interest Payment Date or Interest Reset Date, in each case, at a redemption price per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of the Subordinated Notes equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.
Redemption for Tax Event or Rating Event:    At any time upon or following the occurrence of, a Rating Event or a Tax Event (each as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement), the Issuer may redeem all (but not less than all) of the Subordinated Notes at a redemption price per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of the Subordinated Notes equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (in the case of a Tax Event) and 102% of the principal amount thereof (in the case of a Rating Event), in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date fixed for redemption.
Ranking:    The Subordinated Notes will be the Issuer’s unsecured obligations and will rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Issuer’s existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement). The Subordinated Notes will rank equal in right of payment with the Issuer’s Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067 and any of the Issuer’s future unsecured indebtedness if the terms of such indebtedness provide that it ranks equal with the Subordinated Notes in right of payment. In addition, the Subordinated Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s subsidiaries, which are distinct legal entities having no obligation to pay any amounts in respect of the Subordinated Notes or to make funds available for such purpose. The Subordinated Notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to any secured obligations the Issuer may incur as the holders of any such secured obligations would have claims with respect to the assets constituting collateral for such obligations that are prior to claims under the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes will rank senior to the Issuer’s common shares as to the distribution of the Issuer’s assets in the event of the Issuer’s bankruptcy or insolvency.


Trade Date:    February 19, 2025
Expected Settlement Date:   

February 24, 2025 (T+3)

 

It is expected that delivery of the Subordinated Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about February 24, 2025, which is three business days following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). 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 their Subordinated Notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Subordinated Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Subordinated Notes who wish to trade their Subordinated Notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery should consult their own advisor.
