Optional Redemption: | Prior to May 3, 2031 (the date that is two months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in C$1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (2) the Canada Yield Price, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in C$1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. “Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any notes being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of the notes, calculated by the Company as of the third business day prior to the redemption date of such notes, equal to the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments using a discount rate equal to the Government of Canada Yield on such business day plus 31 basis points. “Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada selected by the Company, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond maturing on the Par Call Date would carry if issued in CAD in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date. “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on each note that would be due after the related redemption date if the note were redeemed on the Par Call Date. If the redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to a note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on each note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such note to, but excluding, the redemption date. | ||||
