The expected settlement date is December 9, 2025. Both series feature five-year resets to the Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 269.4 bps (Series C) and 251.5 bps (Series D), with floors at their initial coupons, issuer deferral rights of up to five consecutive years, optional redemption windows around first reset and thereafter on interest payment dates, and subordination to all Senior Indebtedness. Credit ratings are expected at BB (high) (DBRS), BB (S&P) and Baa3 (Moody’s).

Underwriters received a 1.00% discount (US$15 million total).
