Capital and Earnings Improvement Awards On December 30, 2024, the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) granted share-settled performance-based equity awards (the “Capital and Earnings Improvement Awards” or, the “Awards”) under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Plan to the Company’s executive leadership team, including, but not limited to, each of its named executive officers: (i) Christopher M. Gorman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) Clark Khayat, Chief Financial Officer, (iii) Andrew J. “Randy” Paine, Head of Institutional Bank; (iv) Angela G. Mago, Chief Human Resources Officer; and (v) Amy G. Brady, Chief Information Officer. The Compensation Committee granted the Awards to increase long-term Company stock ownership levels by the executives and retain the talent the Company needs to continue to generate and deliver long-term shareholder value from the Scotiabank strategic minority investment. Vesting of the Awards will occur in January 2027 based on the extent to which the Company satisfies certain regulatory capital requirements, as well as pre-determined cumulative earnings per share goals and marked CET-1 capital goals during the two-year period that begins January 1, 2025 and ends December 31, 2026. The maximum payout level for the Awards is 150% of target. The Compensation Committee has capped the total value realizable by any individual executive under an Award equal to 250% of the target grant value. Any shares vesting under the Awards are subject to a one-year holding period. The value of each named executive officer’s Award is as follows (shown at target award levels):   Named Executive Officer    Target Grant ($ value)   Christopher M.
