CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, the Bank makes written and oral forward-looking statements such as those contained in this document, in other filings with Canadian securities
regulators, and in other communications. All such statements are made in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada and the United States. Forward-
looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the economy—particularly the Canadian and U.S. economies—market
changes, the Bank’s objectives, outlook and priorities for fiscal year 2020 and beyond, its strategies or future actions for achieving them, expectations for the Bank’s
financial condition, the regulatory environment in which it operates, the impacts of — and the Bank’s response to — the COVID-19 pandemic, and certain risks it faces.
These forward-looking statements are typically identified by future or conditional verbs or words such as “outlook”, “believe”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “estimate”,
“project”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, and similar terms and expressions.
Such forward-looking statements are made for the purpose of assisting the holders of the Bank’s securities in understanding the Bank’s financial position and results of
operations as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, as well as the Bank’s financial performance objectives, vision and strategic goals, and may not be
appropriate for other purposes.
By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require assumptions to be made and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific.
Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies in 2020, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that will affect the Bank’s
business are among the main factors considered in setting the Bank’s strategic priorities and objectives, including provisions for credit losses. In determining its
expectations for economic conditions, both broadly and in the financial services sector in particular, the Bank primarily considers historical economic data provided by the
governments of Canada, the United States and certain other countries in which the Bank conducts business, as well as their agencies.
There is a strong possibility that the Bank’s express or implied predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that its
assumptions may not be correct and that its financial performance objectives, vision and strategic goals will not be achieved. The Bank recommends that readers not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Bank’s control, including the impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic, could cause actual results to differ significantly from the expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in these statements. These factors include credit risk,
market risk, liquidity and funding risk, operational risk, regulatory compliance risk, reputation risk, strategic risk and environmental risk, all of which are described in more
detail in the Risk Management section beginning on page 58 of the Bank’s 2019 Annual Report, and more specifically, general economic environment and financial
market conditions in Canada, the United States and certain other countries in which the Bank conducts business; regulatory changes affecting the Bank’s business;
geopolitical and sociopolitical uncertainty; important changes in consumer behaviour; the housing and household indebtedness situation and real estate market in
Canada; changes in the Bank’s customers’ and counterparties’ performance and creditworthiness; changes in the accounting policies the Bank uses to report its financial
condition, including uncertainties associated with assumptions and critical accounting estimates; tax laws in the countries in which the Bank operates, primarily Canada
and the United States (including the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)); changes to capital and liquidity guidelines and to the manner in which they are
to be presented and interpreted; changes to the credit ratings assigned to the Bank; potential disruption to key suppliers of goods and services to the Bank; potential
disruptions to the Bank’s information technology systems, including evolving cyberattack risk as well as identity theft and theft of personal information; and possible
impacts of catastrophic events affecting local and global economies, including natural disasters and public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Statements about the expected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Bank’s business, results of operations, corporate reputation, financial position and liquidity,
and on the global economy may be inaccurate and differ, possibly materially, from what is currently expected as they depend on future developments that are highly
uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Additional information about these factors can be found in the Risk Management section of the Bank’s 2019 Annual
Report and in the COVID-19 Pandemic section of the Report to Shareholders for the Third Quarter of 2020. Investors and others who rely on the Bank’s forward-looking
statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risks they entail.
Except as required by law, the Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, by it or
on its behalf.

                                                                                                                               Q3|20 Fixed Income Presentation 2

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING
FUNDING STRATEGY

The main objective of the funding strategy is to support the Bank's organic growth while also enabling it
to survive potentially severe and prolonged crises and to meet its regulatory obligations and financial
targets.

The funding framework consists of 3 pillars:

1.   Pursue a diversified deposit strategy to fund core banking activities through stable deposits
     coming from the networks of each of the Bank’s major business segments;

2.   Maintain a sound liquidity risk management through centralized expertise and management of
     liquidity metrics within predefined risk appetite;

3.   Maintain active access to various markets to ensure diversification of institutional funding in
     terms of source, geographic location, currency, instrument and maturity, whether secured or
     unsecured.

The funding strategy is implemented in accordance with the overall objectives of strengthening the
Bank's franchise among market participants and consolidating its excellent reputation.

                                                                          Q3|20 Fixed Income Presentation 18

 February 2020, NBC published its Sustainability Bond Report and obtained Independent Opinion from VigeoEiris:

In line with the ICMA Green Bond Principles and Social Bond Principles, NBC’s Sustainability Bonds will be allocated to financing of
projects and organizations that credibly contribute to the environmental objectives or seek to achieve positive socioeconomic
outcomes for target populations. Therefore, these are likely to contribute to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (listed
below), by having a focus on:

                              Renewable Energy / Sustainable Buildings / Low-Carbon Transportation /
                                      Affordable Housing / Access to Basic and Essential Services

In FY2019, NBC completed four sustainability bond issuances, including the first international issuance of USD Sustainability Bonds
by a North American bank, as well as Sustainable Structured Bonds issued via tailored private placements:

NBC SUSTAINABILITY BOND FRAMEWORK

For the purpose of issuing Sustainability Bonds, NBC has developed its framework, which addresses the four core
components of the ICMA Sustainability Bond Guidelines and its recommendations on the use of external reviews and
impact reporting:

1.   Use of proceeds
2.   Project selection and evaluation process
3.   Management of proceeds
4.   Reporting

As per the ICMA Sustainability Bond Guidelines: “Sustainability Bonds are bonds where the proceeds will be
exclusively applied to finance or re-finance a combination of both Green and Social Projects.

Sustainability Bonds are aligned with the four core components of both the GBP [Green Bond Principles or “GBP”] and
the SBP [Social Bond Principles or “SBP”] with the former being especially relevant to underlying Green Projects and the
latter to underlying Social Projects.

It is understood that certain Social Projects may also have environmental co-benefits, and that certain Green Projects
may have social co-benefits. The classification of a use of proceeds bond as a Green Bond, Social Bond, or
Sustainability Bond should be determined by the issuer based on its primary objectives for the underlying projects.”

APPENDIX 7 │ OVERVIEW OF SELECTED BANK OF CANADA MEASURES
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank of Canada has taken various measures since March 2020, including:

▪      Added 6- and 12-month Term Repo operations (bi-weekly operations, March 12, 2020), later enhanced to permit up to
       24-month funding (April 15, 2020);
▪      Introduced a Bankers’ Acceptance Purchase Facility (BAPF), started the week of March 23, secondary market purchases of
       1-month BAs issued and guaranteed by any Canadian bank and of sufficiently high quality (minimum short-term credit rating of
       R-1 (low)), subsequently expanded with longer-tenor BAs (March 13, 2020);
▪      Launch of the Standing Term Liquidity Facility (STLF), first announced in November 2019. Under the STLF, the Bank could
       provide loans to eligible financial institutions in need of temporary liquidity support and where the Bank has no concerns about
       their financial soundness. The STLF complements the Bank’s current tools for the provision of liquidity and will strengthen the
       Bank’s role as lender of last resort. The facility launched on March 30, 2020.
▪      Announced intention to broaden eligible collateral for its Term Repo facility to include the full range of collateral eligible
       under the Standing Liquidity Facility, to expand beyond Government of Canada securities and those explicitly guaranteed by
       the crown, this list includes provincial bonds, municipal bonds, government-sponsored pension bonds, commercial paper,
