The Notes will be the Bank’s direct unsecured obligations constituting subordinated indebtedness for the purpose of the Bank Act (Canada) (the “Bank Act”) and, if the Bank becomes insolvent or is wound-up (prior to the occurrence of a Trigger Event (as defined below)), will rank pari passu with all other Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in the Prospectus) of the Bank from time to time outstanding, except Indebtedness (as defined in the Prospectus) that by its terms is subordinated to such Subordinated Indebtedness.

The Notes will not constitute savings accounts, deposits or other obligations that are insured by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Deposit Insurance Fund or any other governmental agency or under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada), the Bank Act or any other deposit insurance regime designed to ensure the payment of all or a portion of a deposit upon the insolvency of the deposit taking financial institution.

Subject to any redemption prior to the Maturity Date, the Notes will bear interest (i) from and including the Settlement Date to, but excluding, the Reset Date, at a rate of 3.803% per annum and (ii) from and including the Reset Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date at a rate per annum which will be 1.432% above the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate.

For purposes of the foregoing:

“5-Year Mid-Swap Rate” means the 5-year semi-annual mid-swap rate as displayed on the Reset Screen Page on the Reset Interest Determination Date. In the event that the 5-year semi-annual mid-swap rate does not appear on the Reset Screen Page on the Reset Interest Determination Date, the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate shall be the Reset Reference Bank Rate on the Reset Interest Determination Date.

“Reset Screen Page” means Reuters screen “ICESWAP1” (or any successor page or, if a successor page is unavailable, an equivalent page of Bloomberg or any comparable provider as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion) as at 11:00 a.m. (New York time).

“Reset Interest Determination Date” means the day falling two business days prior to the Reset Date.

“Reset Reference Bank Rate” means the percentage rate determined on the basis of the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate Quotation provided by five leading swap dealers in the interbank market to the paying agent as at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Reset Interest Determination Date. If at least three quotations are provided, the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest). If only two quotations are provided, the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided. If only one quotation is provided, the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate will be the quotation provided. If no quotations are provided, the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate shall be equal to the last available 5-year semi-annual mid-swap rate on the Reset Screen Page.

“5-Year Mid-Swap Rate Quotation” means, in each case, the arithmetic mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) of a fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest rate swap which (i) has a term of 5 years commencing on the Reset Date, (ii) is in an amount that is representative of a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market and (iii) has a floating leg based on the 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate (or such other short-term rate, if any, as shall have generally replaced the 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate in the relevant market at the relevant time for purposes of such fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest rate swaps quotations, as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion) (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in 360-day year).

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, each outstanding Note will automatically and immediately be converted, on a full and permanent basis, without the consent of the holders thereof, and as of the start of business on the date on which the Trigger Event occurs, into a number of fully-paid and freely tradable common shares of the Bank (“Common Shares”) determined by dividing (a) the product of the Multiplier and the Note Value, by (b) the Conversion Price (an “NVCC Automatic Conversion”). For the purposes of the foregoing:

“Conversion Price” means, in respect of each Note, the greater of (i) the Floor Price, and (ii) the Current Market Price.

“Current Market Price” means the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) or, if not then listed on the TSX, on another exchange or market chosen by the board of directors of the Bank on which the Common Shares are then traded, for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date on which the Trigger Event occurs, converted (if not denominated in U.S. dollars) into U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Rate on the day immediately prior to the date on which the Trigger Event occurs. If no such trading prices are available, “Current Market Price” shall be the Floor Price.

“Floor Price” means the U.S. dollar equivalent of $5.00 converted into U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Rate on the day immediately prior to the date on which the Trigger Event occurs, subject to adjustment in the event of (i) the issuance of Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to all holders of Common Shares as a stock dividend, (ii) the subdivision, redivision or change of the Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, or (iii) the reduction, combination or consolidation of the Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares. The adjustment shall be calculated to the nearest one-tenth of one cent provided that no adjustment of the Floor Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Floor Price then in effect; provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made will be carried forward and will be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, will amount to at least 1% of the Floor Price.

“Multiplier” means 1.5.

“Note Value” means, in respect of each Note, the principal amount of such Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the date of the Trigger Event.

“Prevailing Rate” means, in respect of any currencies on any day, the spot rate of exchange between the relevant currencies prevailing as at or about 12:00 noon (New York time) on that date as appearing on or derived from the Relevant Page or, if such a rate cannot be determined at such time, the rate prevailing as at or about 12:00 noon (New York time) on the immediately preceding day on which such rate can be so determined or, if such rate cannot be so determined by reference to the Relevant Page, the rate determined in such other manner as an Independent Financial Adviser (as defined herein) shall consider in good faith appropriate.

“Relevant Page” means the relevant page on Bloomberg (or such other information service provider) that displays the relevant information.

Trigger Event has the meaning set out in the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (“OSFI”), Guideline for Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR), Chapter 2 – Definition of Capital, effective December 2016, as such term may be amended or superseded by OSFI from time to time, which term currently provides that each of the following constitutes a Trigger Event:

•     the Superintendent publicly announces that the Bank has been advised, in writing, that the Superintendent is of the opinion that the Bank has ceased, or is about to cease, to be viable and that, after the conversion of the Notes and all other contingent instruments issued by the Bank and taking into account any other factors or circumstances that are considered relevant or appropriate, it is reasonably likely that the viability of the Bank will be restored or maintained; or

•     a federal or provincial government in Canada publicly announces that the Bank has accepted or agreed to accept a capital injection, or equivalent support, from the federal government or any provincial government or political subdivision or agent or agency thereof without which the Bank would have been determined by the Superintendent to be non-viable.
