General Information

Additional Information Regarding the Notes

1.         Use of Proceeds

            The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be included in the ordinary capital resources of the Bank and, will not be committed or earmarked for lending to, or financing of, any specific loans, projects or programs. The Bank, in partnership with its member countries, works to reduce poverty and inequalities in Latin America and the Caribbean by promoting economic and social development in a sustainable, climate friendly way.

            The Bank's strategic priorities include social inclusion and equality, productivity and innovation and economic integration along with three cross-cutting issues: gender equality and diversity, climate change and environmental sustainability, and institutional capacity and the rule of law. Each strategic priority of the Bank aligns to at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"), with all goals covered within the Bank's institutional strategy, which may be adapted from time to time should the United Nations SDGs definition evolve.

            All projects undertaken by the Bank go through the Bank's rigorous sustainability framework. The framework tracks measurable results, adherence to lending targets and the effectiveness of its environmental and social safeguards. The Bank's administrative and operating expenses are currently covered entirely by the Bank's various sources of revenue, consisting primarily of net interest margin and investment income (as more fully described in the Bank's Information Statement).

2.         Matters relating to UK MiFIR

The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the UK MiFIR regime.  Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an "investment firm", "manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of UK MiFIR.

UK MiFIR product governance / Retail investors, professional investors and ECPs target market - Solely for the purposes of each UK manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is retail clients, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, eligible counterparties, as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate.  Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the UK manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the UK manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

For the purposes of this provision, (i) the expression "UK manufacturer" means RBC Europe Limited and The Bank of Nova Scotia, London Branch, (ii) the expression "COBS" means the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, (iii) the expression "UK MiFIR" means Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and (iv) the expression "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules" means the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook.

Additional Information regarding the Description of the Notes

Form, Denomination and Registration

The Notes will be issued in the form of a fully registered global note registered in the name of CDS & CO., as nominee of CDS and held by CDS (the "Global Note").  Beneficial interests in the Global Note will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in CDS.  Investors may elect to hold interests in the Global Note directly through any of CDS (in Canada), DTC (in the United States) or Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV (in Europe) if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems.  DTC will hold interests on behalf of its participants directly through its account at CDS and Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers' securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective Canadian subcustodians, each of which is a Canadian schedule I chartered bank ("Canadian Subcustodians"), which in turn will hold such interests in customers' securities accounts in the names of the Canadian Subcustodians on the books of CDS.  Except in the limited circumstances described below under "Definitive Certificates", owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note will not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form and will not be considered owners or holders thereof under the Global Agency Agreement. 

All Notes will be recorded in a register maintained by the Registrar and will be registered in the name of CDS & CO. (or such other nominees of CDS as an authorized representative of CDS may advise) for the benefit of owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note, including participants of DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV. 

Definitive Certificates

No beneficial owner of the Notes will be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Notes in definitive form except in the following limited circumstances:  (i) CDS notifies the Bank that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Notes and a successor depository is not appointed by the Bank within 90 working days after receiving such notice; or (ii) CDS ceases to be a recognized clearing agency under applicable provincial or Canadian federal securities legislation and no successor clearing system satisfactory to the Bank is available within 90 days after the Bank becoming aware that CDS is no longer so recognized, the Bank will issue or cause to be issued fully registered Notes in definitive form upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, the Global Note.  The Bank may also at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have any of the Notes held in the form of the Global Note and, in such event, will issue or cause to be issued fully registered Notes in definitive form upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, such Global Note. 

Additional Information regarding Clearing and Settlement

Links have been established among CDS, DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV to facilitate initial issuance of the Notes and cross-market transfers of the Notes associated with secondary market trading.  CDS will be directly linked to DTC and linked to Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV through the CDS accounts of their respective Canadian Subcustodians.

The Clearing Systems

CDS was formed in November 2006 pursuant to the restructuring of The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS Ltd.")  After the restructuring, CDS Ltd., incorporated in 1970, remains the holding company for CDS and two other operating subsidiaries.   CDS is Canada's national securities clearing and depositary services organization.  Functioning as a service utility for the Canadian financial community, CDS provides a variety of computer automated services for financial institutions and investment dealers active in domestic and international capital markets.  CDS participants ("CDS Participants") include banks (including the Canadian Subcustodians), investment dealers and trust companies and may include certain of the Managers.  Indirect access to CDS is available to other organizations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a CDS Participant.  Transfers of ownership and other interests, including cash distributions, in Notes in CDS may only be processed through CDS Participants and will be completed in accordance with existing CDS rules and procedures.  CDS operates in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and  Vancouver to centralize securities clearing functions through a central securities depositary. 

Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures

Initial settlement for the Notes will be made in immediately available Canadian dollar funds. 

Secondary market trading between CDS Participants will be in accordance with market conventions applicable to transactions in book-based Canadian domestic bonds.  Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules.  Secondary market trading between Clearstream Banking S.A. participants and or Euroclear Bank SA/NV participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional Eurobonds in immediately available funds. 

Transfers between CDS and DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV.  Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through CDS Participants, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV participants, on the other, will be effected in CDS in accordance with CDS rules; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines.  The relevant clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to CDS directly or through its Canadian Subcustodian to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving Notes in CDS, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for settlement in CDS.  DTC participants, Clearstream Banking S.A. participants and Euroclear Bank SA/NV participants may not deliver instructions directly to CDS or the Canadian Subcustodians. 

Because of time-zone differences, credits of Notes received in Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV as a result of a transaction with a CDS Participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the CDS settlement date.  Such credits or any transactions in such Notes settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream Banking S.A. participants or Euroclear Bank SA/NV participants on such business day.  Cash received in Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV as a result of sales of Notes by or through a Clearstream Banking S.A. participant or a Euroclear Bank SA/NV participant to a CDS Participant will be received with value on the CDS settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV cash account only as of the business day following settlement in CDS. 

Transfers Between DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV.  Cross-market transfers between Clearstream Banking S.A., Euroclear Bank SA/NV and DTC participants will be effected in CDS. 

When Notes are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant to the account of a Clearstream Banking S.A. participant or Euroclear Bank SA/NV participant, the DTC participant will transmit instructions to DTC on settlement date and the Clearstream Banking S.A. participant or Euroclear Bank SA/NV participant will transmit instructions to Clearstream Banking S.A. or Euroclear Bank SA/NV at least one business day prior to the settlement date.  One business day prior to settlement date Clearstream Banking S.A. and on settlement date Euroclear Bank SA/NV, will transmit trade instructions to its respective Canadian Subcustodian.  The beneficial interests in the Notes and payments for such beneficial interests will be transferred in CDS by DTC and the respective Canadian Subcustodians for Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV. 

Although CDS, DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of Notes among participants of CDS, DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be changed or discontinued at any time.

Additional Information regarding Currency Conversions

Currency Conversions

Initial purchasers are required to make payment in Canadian dollars.  The Managers are prepared to arrange for the conversion of U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars to enable United States investors to make payment in Canadian dollars.  Each such conversion will be made by such Manager on such terms and subject to such conditions, limitations and charges as such Manager may from time to time establish in accordance with its regular foreign exchange practices, and subject to applicable United States laws and regulations.  All costs of conversions will be borne by such investors.  See "Certain Risk Factors- Notes are subject to exchange rate and exchange control risks if the investor's currency is different from the Specified Currency" in the Prospectus. 

Principal and interest payments in respect of the Notes (including Notes in definitive form issued in exchange for the Global Note as described above under "Definitive Certificates") are payable in Canadian dollars, but owners of beneficial interests in Notes held through DTC ("DTC Beneficial Owners") will receive such payments in U.S. dollars, unless they elect, through DTC and its participants, to receive payments in Canadian dollars as set forth below.  Payments of principal and interest on Notes held through DTC will be converted to U.S. dollars in accordance with procedures established from time to time by CDS and DTC and paid to Cede & Co. for payment to DTC Beneficial Owners.  All costs of such conversion will be borne by DTC Beneficial Owners receiving U.S. dollars by deduction from such payments.  If there is no facility in place between CDS and DTC for the exchange of Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars, payment of the aggregate amount due to all DTC Beneficial Owners on the payment date will be made in Canadian dollars outside of DTC, unless alternative arrangements acceptable to both CDS and DTC are made by the Bank.  A DTC Beneficial Owner may elect to receive payment in respect of the principal of or interest on the Notes in Canadian dollars by notifying the DTC participant through which its Notes are held on or prior to the applicable record date (in the case of an interest payment) or at least fifteen days prior to maturity (in the case of a principal payment ) of (i) such DTC Beneficial Owner's election to receive all or a portion of such payment in Canadian dollars and (ii) wire transfer instructions to a Canadian dollar account with respect to any payment to be made in Canadian dollars.  Such DTC participant must notify DTC of such election and wire transfer instructions on or prior to the third New York business day after such record date for any payment of interest and on or prior to the twelfth day prior to the payment of principal.  DTC will notify CDS of such election and wire transfer instructions on or prior to the fifth New York business day after such record date for any payment of interest and on or prior to the tenth day prior to the payment of principal.  If complete instructions are received by the DTC participant and forwarded by the DTC participant to DTC and by DTC to CDS, on or prior to such dates, the DTC Beneficial Owner will receive payment in Canadian dollars outside of DTC; otherwise only U.S. dollar payments will be made through DTC.  In this paragraph, "New York business day" means a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are not authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close. 

Investors will be subject to foreign exchange risks as to payments in respect of principal and interest that may have important economic and tax consequences to them.
