Early Settlement:
Subject to certain conditions described under “Description of the Purchase Contracts-Early Settlement” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, a holder of Corporate Units or Treasury Units may settle the related Purchase Contracts at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second business day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, other than during a blackout period (as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) in the case of Corporate Units. An early settlement may be made only in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units or 20 Treasury Units; however, if the Treasury portfolio has replaced the Notes as a component of the Corporate Units following a successful optional remarketing, holders of Corporate Units may settle early only in integral multiples of 400,000 Corporate Units. If a Purchase Contract is settled early, the number of Common Shares to be issued per Purchase Contract will be equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate (subject to adjustment, as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement).
Early Settlement Upon a Fundamental Change:
Subject to certain conditions described under “Description of the Purchase Contracts-Early Settlement Upon a Fundamental Change” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, following a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) that occurs prior to the 20th business day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each holder of a Purchase Contract will have the right to accelerate and settle the Purchase Contract early on the fundamental change early settlement date (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) at the settlement rate determined as if the applicable market value equaled the share price (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), plus an additional make-whole amount of Common Shares (such additional make-whole amount of Common Shares being hereafter referred to as the “make-whole shares”). This right is referred to as the “fundamental change early settlement right” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
 
The number of make-whole shares per Purchase Contract applicable to a fundamental change early settlement will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the fundamental change occurs or becomes effective (the “effective date”) and the “share price” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) for the fundamental change:

The share prices set forth in the first row of the table above (i.e., the column headers) will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events requiring anti-dilution adjustments to the fixed settlement rates in a manner inversely proportional to the adjustments to the fixed settlement rates, as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
The exact share price and effective date applicable to a fundamental change may not be set forth on the table, in which case:
      if the share price is between two share prices on the table or the effective date is between two effective dates on the table, the number of make-whole shares will be determined by straight line interpolation between the make-whole share amounts set forth for the higher and lower share prices and the two effective dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;
     if the share price is in excess of $100.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the share prices set forth in the first row of the table, as described above), then the make-whole share amount will be zero; and
     if the share price is less than $5.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the share prices set forth in the first row of the table, as described above) (the “minimum share price”), then the make-whole share amount will be determined as if the share price equaled the minimum share price, using straight line interpolation, as described above in the first bullet, if the effective date is between two effective dates on the table.
 
Unless the Treasury portfolio has replaced the Notes as a component of the Corporate Units as a result of a successful optional remarketing, holders of Corporate Units may exercise the fundamental change early settlement right only in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units. If the Treasury portfolio has replaced the Notes as a component of Corporate Units, holders of the Corporate Units may exercise the fundamental change early settlement right only in integral multiples of 400,000 Corporate Units. A holder of Treasury Units may exercise the fundamental change early settlement right only in integral multiples of 20 Treasury Units.

CHANGES TO THE PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

Increase in number of Equity Units offered

The issuer has increased the size of the offering such that the number of Equity Units offered has increased by 2,000,000 Corporate Units (or by 2,300,000 Corporate Units, if the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Corporate Units in full, solely to cover over-allotments), from 18,000,000 (or 20,700,000 if the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase up to 2,700,000 additional Corporate Units in full, solely to cover over-allotments) to 20,000,000 (or 23,000,000 if the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Corporate Units in full, solely to cover over-allotments) (the “Offering Upsize”).

The issuer estimates that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting commissions but before deducting the estimated Offering expenses, will be $976 million.  The uses of proceeds and other information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to have changed to reflect the amount of the Offering Upsize and the use of proceeds therefrom.



Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Exchange Act, 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 Corporate Units on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Corporate Units initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Corporate Units who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisor.

The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus), as amended, in the United States and the Final Base Shelf Prospectus in each of the provinces of Canada pursuant to the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System established between Canada and the United States (File No. 333-236975).  Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement, the Final Base Shelf Prospectus and other documents the Issuer has filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) and the SEC for more complete information about the Issuer and the Offering.  You may get these documents for free by visiting SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR on the SEC Website at www.sec.gov.  Alternatively, the Issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the Offering will arrange to send you the Final Base Shelf Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement if you request them by calling J.P. Morgan Securities LLC at 1-866-803-9204; Wells Fargo Securities, LLC at 1-800-326-5897; BMO Capital Markets Corp. at 1-800-414-3627; or Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC at 1-866-718-1649.

This communication should be read in conjunction with the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Final Base Shelf Prospectus.  The information in this communication supersedes the information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Final Base Shelf Prospectus to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Final Base Shelf Prospectus.  In all other respects, this communication is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Final Base Shelf Prospectus.
