The Bank has filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-259240) and a preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 30, 2022 (including the base prospectus, the “Prospectus”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the Prospectus and the documents incorporated therein by reference that the Bank has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Bank and this offering.

You may obtain these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Bank or any underwriter participating in the offering will arrange to send you the Prospectus and any document incorporated therein by reference if you request such documents by calling Citigroup Global Markets Inc. toll-free at (800) 831-9146; BofA Securities, Inc. toll-free at (800) 294-1322; CIBC World Markets Corp. toll-free at (800) 282-0822; J.P. Morgan Securities LLC collect at (212) 834-4533 or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC toll-free at (800) 645-3751.

** We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about April 7, 2022, which is six business days following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+6”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their Notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+6, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Notes who wish to trade their Notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery should consult their own advisor.

Any legends, disclaimers or other notices that may appear below are not applicable to this communication and should be disregarded.
