Reference Portfolio
Reference asset	Ticker symbol
Solactive US Diversified EW Equity Daily CAD Hedged 133 AR Index	SUSDD133

The Solactive US Diversified EW Equity Daily CAD Hedged 133 AR Index is an adjusted return index. It aims to track the gross total return performance of the Solactive US Diversified EW Equity Daily CAD Hedged Total Return Index (the "underlying index"), calculated in Canadian dollars, less an adjusted return factor of 133 index points per annum that will be calculated daily in arrears (the "adjusted return factor"). The closing level on November 28, 2025 was 4,348.65. The adjusted return factor divided by the closing level was therefore equal to 3.06% on November 28, 2025. Over the term of the notes, the sum of the adjusted return factor will be approximately 933 index points, representing 21.46% of the closing level on November 28, 2025. The underlying index aims to track the performance of the Solactive US Diversified EW Equity TR Index (the "base index") and hedges the currency exposure to a local currency on a daily basis via FX forward contracts. The base index aims to track the performance of 10 large cap companies from the U.S. stock market across multiple sectors, including telecommunications, financial services, technology, and consumer goods.

The dividend yield of the underlying index on November 28, 2025 was 1.70%, representing an aggregate dividend yield of approximately 11.93% over the term of the notes (assuming the dividend yield remains constant and the dividends are not reinvested).

An investment in the notes does not represent a direct or indirect investment in the reference asset. You have no right or entitlement to the dividends or distributions paid on the reference asset.

How do the Notes work?

The following hypothetical examples demonstrate how the payment you may receive will be calculated and determined under four different scenarios. The hypothetical closing levels used in these examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed in any way as estimates or forecasts of the future performance of the reference asset or the return that you might realize on the notes. All hypothetical examples assume that no events described under "Certain Additional Terms for Notes Linked to a Reference Index" in the income product supplement have occurred during the term. For ease of analysis, figures below have been rounded.

Barrier level/Coupon payment level	Autocall level
70.00% of the initial level	105.00% of the initial level

Example 1: Payment at Maturity (Negative Scenario)

Investor cash flow summary per note
(1) Principal amount paid	CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received	CAD $1.195
(3) Maturity payment received	CAD $44.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3)	CAD $45.195
(5) Return on the notes (annualized)	-10.70%

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates, so the notes are not redeemed early. Furthermore, it is above the coupon payment level on the first and second coupon observation dates and below the coupon payment level on all the others, so you would receive two of the coupon payments.

Lastly, the final level is at 44.00% of the initial level, which is below the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is -56.00%. Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment of CAD $44.00 per note with coupons totalling CAD $1.195 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual loss of 10.70% on the notes).

In this example, the maturity payment is calculated as follows:

$$
\begin{array}{l}
\text{Maturity payment} = \text{CAD} \$100.00 + (\text{CAD} \$100.00 \times \text{final reference asset return}) \
= \text{CAD} \$100.00 + (\text{CAD} \$100.00 \times -56.00\%) \
= \text{CAD} \$44.00
\end{array}
$$

Example 2: Payment at Maturity (Neutral Scenario)

Investor cash flow summary per note

(1) Principal amount paid	CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received	CAD $16.1325
(3) Maturity payment received	CAD $100.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3)	CAD $116.1325
(5) Return on the notes (annualized)	2.15%

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates, so the notes are not redeemed early. Furthermore, it is above the coupon payment level on twenty-seven of the coupon observation dates and below the coupon payment level on all the others, so you would receive twenty-seven of the coupon payments.

Lastly, the final level is at 89.00% of the initial level, which is above the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is -11.00%. Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment equal to the principal amount with coupons totalling CAD $16.1325 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of 2.15% on the notes).

Example 3: Payment at Maturity (Positive Scenario)

Investor cash flow summary per note

(1) Principal amount paid	CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received	CAD $50.19
(3) Maturity payment received	CAD $100.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3)	CAD $150.19
(5) Return on the notes (annualized)	5.97%

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates, so the notes are not redeemed early. Furthermore, it is above the coupon payment level on all of the coupon observation dates, so you would receive all of the coupon payments.

Lastly, the final level is at 80.00% of the initial level, which is above the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is -20.00%. Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment equal to the principal amount with coupons totalling CAD $50.19 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of 5.97% on the notes).

Example 4: Automatic Early Redemption

Investor cash flow summary per note
(1) Principal amount paid	CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received	CAD $8.9625
(3) Maturity payment received (early redemption)	CAD $100.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3)	CAD $108.9625
(5) Return on the notes (annualized)	7.13%

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates until the fifteenth observation date. This results in the notes being redeemed early on the autocall payment date corresponding with the fifteenth observation date. Furthermore, it is above the coupon payment level on fifteen of the coupon observation dates, so you would receive fifteen of the coupon payments before the notes are redeemed.

Lastly, the closing level is at $123.00\%$ of the initial level, which is above the autocall level, so the reference asset return is $23.00\%$ and the notes are redeemed early for a value of CAD $100.00. Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment equal to the principal amount with coupons totalling CAD $8.9625 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of $7.13\%$ on the notes).
