Please note that in this section entitled “Specific Terms of the Notes,” references to “holders” mean those who own Notes registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee maintain for this purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in Notes registered in street name or in Notes issued in book-entry form through DTC or another depositary.

Optional Redemption for the Notes

Optional Make Whole Redemption for 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes

The Bank may redeem the 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to February 14, 2028 (the date that is one year prior to the Maturity Date) (such date, the “2029 Par Call Date”), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date 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 to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

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

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Bank 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). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Bank 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 2029 Par Call Date (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 2029 Par Call Date 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.

P-13

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Bank 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 2029 Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the 2029 Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the 2029 Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the 2029 Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the 2029 Par Call Date, the Bank shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the 2029 Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the 2029 Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Bank 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 Bank’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Optional Make Whole Redemption for 2031 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes

The Bank may redeem the 2031 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to February 14, 2030 (the date that is one year prior to the Maturity Date) (such date, the “2031 Par Call Date”), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date 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 to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

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

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Bank 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). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Bank 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 2031 Par Call Date (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 2031 Par Call Date 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.

P-14

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Bank 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 2031 Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the 2031 Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the 2031 Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the 2031 Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the 2031 Par Call Date, the Bank shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the 2031 Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the 2031 Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Bank 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 Bank’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 Bank may redeem the 2029 Floating Rate Notes at its option (i) in whole, but not in part, on February 14, 2028 (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 January 15, 2029 (the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date), in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Bank may redeem the 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes at its option (i) in whole, but not in part, on February 14, 2028 (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 January 15, 2029 (the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date), in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Provisions Applicable to Optional Redemptions

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 5 days but not more than 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the note will be issued in the name of the holder of the note upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

Unless the Bank defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

The Bank may also redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the date fixed for redemption under the circumstances described in “Description of the Notes We May Offer—Redemption at the Option of the Bank; No Sinking Fund—Tax Redemption” in the Prospectus Supplement.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

We have entered into a terms agreement, dated January 30, 2025, with the agents pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, dated November 8, 2024, among us and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. for the purchase and sale of the Notes. We have agreed to sell to each of the agents, and each of the agents has agreed to purchase from us, the principal amount of the Notes shown opposite its name at the public offering price set forth above.

The agents may offer the Notes to certain dealers at such respective prices less a concession not in excess of 0.150% of the principal amount per 2029 Floating Rate Note, 0.150% of the principal amount per 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Note and 0.200% of the principal amount per 2031 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Note.

The agents may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of 0.100% of the principal amount per 2029 Floating Rate Note, 0.100% of the principal amount per 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Note, 0.125% of the principal amount per 2031 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Note, to other dealers.

After the initial offering of the Notes, the concession and reallowance discounts on the Notes may change. The offering of the Notes by the agents is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the agents’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

We estimate that the total offering expenses for the Notes, excluding agents’ fees, will be approximately $100,000.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the terms agreement, the agents have agreed to purchase the Notes as principal, for their own account at a purchase price equal to the issue price specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement, less the agents’ fees of 0.250% for the 2029 Floating Rate Notes, 0.250% for the 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes and 0.350% for the 2031 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes. To the extent the agents resell Notes to a broker or dealer less a concession equal to the entire agents’ fees, such broker or dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” of the Notes as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The agents have advised us that, if they are unable to sell all the Notes at the public offering price, the agents propose to offer the Notes from time to time for sale in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices to be determined at the time of sale.

In the future, the agents may repurchase and resell the Notes in market-making transactions. For more information about the plan of distribution, the Distribution Agreement (of which the terms agreement forms a part) and possible market-making activities, see “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement. We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on February 4, 2025, which is the third scheduled business day following the trade date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle no later than one business day after the trade date, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise at the time of the trade. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on any date more than one business day prior to delivery of the Notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes will initially settle in three business days (T+3) to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

Certain of the Agents may not be U.S. registered broker-dealers and accordingly will not effect any sales within the United States except in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

Conflicts of Interest

Because Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. is an affiliate of the Bank and is participating in the distribution of the Notes in this offering as an agent, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. has a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering is being conducted in compliance with FINRA Rule 5121. Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. is not permitted to sell Notes in this offering to accounts over which discretionary control is exercised without the prior specific written authority of the accountholder.

Some of the agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the agents or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such agents and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The agents and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in that Member State of the EEA of the Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this pricing supplement may only do so to persons or legal entities which are qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, provided that no such offer of Notes shall require the Bank or any of the agents to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case in relation to such offer.

Neither the Bank nor the agents have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in a Member State of the EEA to any person or legal entity which is not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation.

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared, and therefore, offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
