RISK FACTORS
Uncertainty regarding Brexit and the outcome of future arrangements between the European Union and the United Kingdom may adversely
affect the Canadian economy and our business.
Uncertainty regarding Brexit and the outcome of future arrangements between the European Union ("E.U.") and the United Kingdom ("U.K.")
may adversely affect the Canadian economy due to a decline in international trade, and EDC's business as a result of disruptions to, and uncertainty
surrounding, EDC's business in the U.K. and E.U. On June 23, 2016, the U.K. voted in favor of a referendum to leave the E.U., commonly referred to as
"Brexit." On March 29, 2017, the U.K. gave formal notice under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union ("Article 50") of its intention to leave the
E.U. Article 50 provides, subject to certain circumstances, that the E.U. treaties will cease to apply to the U.K. two years after the Article 50 Notice. The
original deadline of March 29, 2019 for the U.K.'s exit from the E.U. (including any transitional arrangements) has lapsed. However, the E.U. has
agreed to an extension until October 31, 2019 to allow for negotiations around the withdrawal agreement to be finalized. The terms of the U.K.'s exit
from the E.U. are therefore still unclear and will be determined by the negotiations taking place over the coming months.
Brexit is expected to significantly affect the fiscal, monetary and regulatory landscape in both the U.K. and E.U., and could have a material impact
on their economies and the future growth of various industries and supply chains. The political and economic instability created by Brexit has caused
and may continue to cause significant volatility in global financial markets. Brexit could also have the effect of disrupting the free movement of goods,
services, and people between the U.K., the E.U., and elsewhere.
As the U.K. has consistently been one of Canada's top five trading partners in goods and services, to the extent Brexit has an adverse impact on
the U.K.'s economy, or an impact on global trade itself, Brexit may adversely impact Canada's economy and EDC's business. At the same time, the
U.K.'s departure from the E.U. may also trigger efforts to more actively promote trade and investment with non-E.U. markets, including Canada.
Because the bonds are held by or on behalf of CDS, investors will have to rely on its procedures for transfer, payment and communication
with us.
The bonds will be issued in the form of one fully registered global bond which will be deposited with CDS or its nominee. Except in limited
circumstances, investors will not be entitled to receive bonds in definitive form. CDS or its participants will maintain records of the beneficial interests
in the bonds. Investors will be able to trade their beneficial interests only through CDS.
We will discharge our payment obligations under the bonds by making payments to CDS for distribution to its account holders. A holder of a
beneficial interest in the bonds must rely on the procedures of CDS and its participants to receive payments under the bonds. We have no responsibility
or liability for (i) the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, beneficial interests in the bonds held by CDS, (ii) maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to the bonds, or (iii) any action to be taken by CDS on or at the discretion of CDS participants.
Holders of beneficial interests in the bonds will not have a direct right to vote in respect of the bonds. Instead, such holders will be permitted to act
only to the extent that they are enabled by CDS to appoint proxies. Similarly, holders of beneficial interests in the bonds will not have a direct right
under the bonds to take enforcement action against us in the event of a default under the bonds.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Upon issuance, an amount equal to the net proceeds of this issue of bonds (which proceeds may be converted into other currencies) will be
credited by EDC to an account that will support EDC's existing and future lending operations for Eligible Transactions (as defined below). The net
proceeds will then be deducted from the account and added to EDC's lending pool for disbursements made from that pool in respect of Eligible
Transactions.
S-5

"Eligible Transactions" means all transactions (loans) funded in whole or in part by EDC in support of goods, services or projects as determined
under the Green Bond Framework. Eligible Transactions will include, without limitation, those that are aimed at the preservation, protection or
remediation of air, water or soil or the mitigation of climate change. For more information on the Green Bond Framework, see "Green Bond
Framework" beginning on Page 2 of Exhibit 99.11 to Amendment No. 5 to EDC's Annual Report on Form 18-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2014.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES
The following updates and replaces in its entirety the section in the accompanying prospectus entitled "Description of the Debt Securities --
Payment of Additional Amounts."
Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments of, or in respect of, principal of and interest on the debt securities will be made without withholding of or deduction for, or on
account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or charges of whatsoever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of
Canada, or any province or political subdivision thereof, or any authority thereof or agency therein having power to tax, unless such taxes, duties,
assessments or charges are required by law or by the administration or interpretation thereof to be withheld or deducted. In that event, unless otherwise
provided in an applicable prospectus supplement, EDC (subject to its rights of redemption) will pay to the registered holders of the debt securities such
additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as will result (after withholding or deduction of the said taxes, duties, assessments or charges) in the
payment to the holders of debt securities of the amounts which would otherwise have been payable in respect of the debt securities in the absence of
such taxes, duties, assessments or charges, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any debt security:
(a)
a beneficial owner of which is subject to such taxes, duties, assessment or charges in respect of such debt security by reason of such owner
being connected with Canada otherwise than merely by the holding or ownership as a non-resident of Canada of such debt security; or
(b)
presented for payment more than 15 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to
such Additional Amounts on the last day of such period of 15 days; for this purpose, the "Relevant Date" in relation to any debt security
means whichever is the later of:
(i)
the date on which the payment in respect of such debt security becomes due and payable; or
(ii)
if the full amount of the moneys payable on such date in respect of such debt security has not been received by the relevant paying
agent on or prior to such date, the date on which notice is duly given to the holders of the debt securities that moneys have been so
received.
(c)
as a result of any tax, assessment, withholding or deduction required by Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended ("FATCA"), any current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, any law, regulation or
other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and
any other jurisdiction to implement FATCA, or any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under FATCA.
DESCRIPTION OF BONDS
General
The 1.650% Canadian Dollar Bonds due July 31, 2024 in the initial aggregate principal amount of C $500,000,000 will be issued subject to a
fiscal and paying agency agreement to be dated as of July 31, 2019 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement") between EDC and BNY Trust Company of
Canada, as fiscal agent, transfer agent, registrar and principal paying agent (the "Registrar").
S-6

The terms and conditions of the bonds are summarized below and are subject to the detailed provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the
exhibits thereto, including the form of the global bond, a copy of which will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to registration statement no.
333-225889. The bonds and the Fiscal Agency Agreement together constitute a contract, all of the terms and conditions of which the registered holder,
by acceptance of the bonds, assents to and is deemed to have notice of. Additional terms of the bonds are described in the accompanying basic
prospectus under the heading "Description of the Debt Securities".
References to principal and interest in respect of the bonds shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts which may be payable. See
"Description of the Debt Securities -- Payment of Additional Amounts" in the accompanying basic prospectus.
Status of the Bonds
The bonds will constitute direct unconditional obligations of EDC and as such will carry the full faith and credit of Canada and will constitute
direct unconditional obligations of and by Canada. Payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds will constitute a charge on and be payable out
of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada. The obligations of EDC under the bonds rank equally with all of EDC's other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness and obligations from time to time outstanding.
Form, Denomination and Registration
The bonds will be issued in the form of one fully registered global bond registered in the name of CDS & Co., as nominee of CDS, and held by
CDS. Beneficial interests in the bonds 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 bonds directly through any of CDS, Euroclear or Clearstream,
Luxembourg (collectively, the "Clearing Systems") if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in
such systems. Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold interests in the bonds 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,
which in turn will hold such interests in customers' securities accounts in the names of the Canadian subcustodians on the books of CDS. The Clearing
Systems will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for their participants having interests in the bonds. Neither EDC nor
the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records of the Clearing Systems relating to or payments made by such
Clearing Systems on account of beneficial interests in the global bond or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of such Clearing
Systems relevant to such beneficial interests. Owners of beneficial interests in the bonds will not, except in limited circumstances described herein, be
entitled to receive certificates representing bonds or to have bonds registered in their names, and will not be considered holders thereof under the Fiscal
Agency Agreement. Subject to applicable law and the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, EDC and the Registrar shall deem and treat the persons in
whose name the global bond is registered, initially CDS, as the absolute owners thereof for all purposes whatsoever notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. All payments to, or on the order of, the registered holders shall be valid and effectual to discharge the liability of EDC and the Registrar on the
bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. See "Title" and "Definitive Certificates".
EDC will agree that it will permit a beneficial owner of the bonds registered in the name of CDS & Co. as nominee of CDS (or in such other name
as CDS may designate) to exercise security holder rights in respect of its interests in the bonds if CDS (and, if necessary the CDS participant acting for
the beneficial owner) provides EDC with notice that the beneficial owner may exercise such rights in respect of a specific number or quantity of the
bonds registered in the name of CDS & Co. as nominee of CDS (or in such other name as CDS may designate) and EDC will recognize the standing,
capacity and entitlement of the beneficial owner in the same manner as if the beneficial owner had a certificate representing its interest in the bonds
registered in such beneficial owner's name, and any requirement for delivery of a physical certificate to EDC in connection with the exercise of such
rights will be deemed satisfied by the instructions received from CDS.
Bonds will only be sold in minimum denominations of C $5,000 and integral multiples of C $5,000.
S-7

All bonds will be recorded in a register maintained by the Registrar, and will be registered in the name of CDS & Co., for the benefit of owners of
beneficial interests in the global bond, including participants in CDS, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear.
The Registrar will be responsible for (i) maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of the global bond of CDS & Co.; (ii) ensuring that
payments of principal and interest in respect of the global bond received by the Registrar from EDC are duly credited to CDS & Co.; and
(iii) transmitting to EDC any notices from the registered holders of bonds.
The Registrar will not impose any fees in respect of the bonds, other than reasonable fees for the replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed bonds. However, owners of beneficial interests in the global bond may incur fees payable in respect of the maintenance and operation of the
book-entry accounts in which such interests are held with the Clearing Systems.
Title
Subject to applicable law and the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, EDC and the Registrar will treat the persons in whose name a global
bond is registered, initially CDS & Co., as nominee for CDS, as the owner of such global bond for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and
interest on the bonds and for all other purposes whatsoever, except in respect of the payment of Additional Amounts. Therefore, neither EDC nor the
Registrar has any direct responsibility or liability for the payment of principal or interest on the bonds to owners of beneficial interests in a global bond.
Interest
The bonds will bear interest from July 31, 2019 at a rate of 1.650% per annum. Interest on the bonds will be payable in two equal semi-annual
installments in arrears on January 31 and July 31 of each year, commencing January 31, 2020. Interest will be payable to the persons in whose names
the bonds are registered at the close of business on January 16 or July 16 (the regular record dates), as the case may be, preceding the applicable interest
payment date. Interest on the bonds will cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption or repayment unless payment of principal is improperly
withheld or refused. Any overdue principal or interest on the bonds shall bear interest at the rate of 1.650% per annum (before as well as after judgment)
until paid, or if earlier, when the full amount of the moneys payable has been received by the Registrar and notice to that effect has been given in
accordance with "Notices" below.
Whenever it is necessary to compute any amount of accrued interest in respect of the bonds for a period of less than one full year, other than with
respect to regular semi-annual interest payments, such interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the period and a 365-day
year.
Payments
Principal of and interest on the bonds (including bonds in definitive form issued in exchange for the global bond as described under "Definitive
Certificates") are payable by EDC in Canadian dollars to the persons in whose names the bonds are registered on the record date preceding any interest
payment date or at maturity, as the case may be. The Registrar will act as EDC's principal paying agent for the bonds pursuant to the Fiscal Agency
Agreement. In the event definitive bonds are issued, EDC will appoint and maintain a transfer and paying agent in Luxembourg as further described
under "Definitive Certificates". Ownership positions within each Clearing System will be determined in accordance with the normal conventions
observed by such system. Neither EDC nor the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records of CDS, Clearstream,
Luxembourg or Euroclear relating to or payments made by such Clearing Systems on account of beneficial interests in a global bond or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records of such Clearing Systems relating to such beneficial interests.
If any date for payment in respect of any bond is not a business day, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment until the next following
business day, and no further interest shall be paid in respect of the delay in
S-8

such payment. In this paragraph "business day" means a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York, the City of London, England, the
City of Toronto or in the applicable place of payment are not authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.
All funds held by the Registrar or any paying agent for payment of principal or interest and any Additional Amounts shall be held in trust for the
registered holders of bonds. Any such moneys remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after the date on which such principal, interest or Additional
Amounts shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to EDC, as provided and in the manner set forth in the bonds.
Further Issues
EDC may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the bonds, create and issue further bonds ranking equally
with the bonds being issued pursuant to this prospectus supplement in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to
the issue date of such further bonds or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further bonds) and so that such further
bonds shall be consolidated and form a single series with the bonds and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the bonds.
Any further bonds shall be issued subject to an agreement supplemental to the Fiscal Agency Agreement.
Maturity, Redemption and Purchases
The principal amount of the bonds shall be due and payable on July 31, 2024. The bonds are not subject to any sinking fund, are not redeemable at
the option of EDC prior to maturity unless certain events occur involving Canadian taxation as provided below and are not repayable at the option of the
holder prior to maturity.
The bonds may be redeemed at the option of EDC in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 10 days' and not more than 60
days' notice to registered holders of bonds in accordance with "Notices" below (which notice shall be irrevocable), at 100% of the principal amount
thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, if (a) EDC has or will become obliged to pay Additional Amounts as
provided in the accompanying basic prospectus under the caption "Description of the Debt Securities -- Payment of Additional Amounts" as a result of
any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of Canada, or any province or political subdivision thereof, or any authority thereof or agency
therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes
effective on or after the date of this prospectus supplement, and (b) such obligation cannot be avoided by EDC taking reasonable measures available to
it, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which EDC would be obliged to pay such
Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the bonds then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph,
EDC shall deliver to the Registrar a certificate signed by an officer of EDC stating that EDC is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a
statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of EDC so to redeem have occurred.
EDC may, if not in default under the bonds, at any time purchase bonds in the open market, or by tender or by private contract at any price and
may cause the Registrar to cancel any bonds so purchased.
Definitive Certificates
No beneficial owner of bonds will be entitled to receive physical delivery of bonds in definitive form except in the limited circumstances
described below.
If CDS notifies EDC that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary in connection with the global bond or ceases to be a recognized
clearing agency under the Securities Act (Ontario) or other applicable Canadian or provincial securities legislation, and a successor depositary is not
appointed by EDC within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that CDS is no longer so registered, EDC will issue or cause to be
issued fully registered bonds in definitive form upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, the global bond. EDC may also at any time and in its
sole discretion determine not to have any of the bonds held in the form
S-9

of a global bond and, in such event, will issue or cause to be issued fully registered bonds in definitive form upon registration of, transfer of, or in
exchange for, such global bond. In the event definitive bonds are issued and for so long as the bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and
the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, EDC will appoint and maintain a transfer and paying agent in Luxembourg and notice of such
appointment will be published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange website at www.bourse.lu.
Fully registered bonds in definitive form may be presented at the office of the Luxembourg transfer agent, for registration of transfer or exchange
by the Registrar in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Payments of interest on fully registered bonds in definitive form will be made by the
Registrar by cheque or wire transfer in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Fully registered bonds in definitive form may be surrendered at
the office of the Luxembourg paying agent or such other paying agent appointed by EDC for payment of principal at maturity or on the date fixed for
redemption.
Modification
The Fiscal Agency Agreement and the bonds may be amended or supplemented by EDC on the one hand, and the Registrar, on the other hand,
without notice to or the consent of the registered holder of any bond, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing
any defective provisions contained therein, or effecting the issue of further bonds as described under "Further Issues" above, or in any other manner
which EDC may deem necessary or desirable and which, in the reasonable opinion of EDC, on the one hand, and the Registrar, on the other hand, will
not adversely affect the interests of the holders of bonds.
The Fiscal Agency Agreement will contain provisions for convening meetings of registered holders of bonds to modify or amend by
Extraordinary Resolution (as defined below) the Fiscal Agency Agreement (except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph) and the bonds
(including the terms and conditions thereof). An Extraordinary Resolution in the form of a resolution duly passed at any such meeting shall be binding
on all holders of bonds, whether present or not, and an Extraordinary Resolution in the form of an instrument signed by the holders of the bonds in
accordance with the definition below shall be binding on all holders of the bonds; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment to the
Fiscal Agency Agreement or to the terms and conditions of the bonds may, without the consent of the registered holder of each such bond affected
thereby: (a) change the stated maturity of any such bond or change any interest payment date; (b) reduce the principal amount of any such bond or the
rate of interest payable thereon; (c) change the currency of payment of any such bond; (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment on or with respect to any such bond; or (e) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of bonds necessary for the taking of any action,
including modification or amendment of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the bonds, or reduce the quorum required at any
meeting of registered holders of bonds.
The term "Extraordinary Resolution" will be defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement as a resolution passed at a meeting of registered holders of
bonds by the affirmative vote of the registered holders of not less than 66 /
2
%
3
of the principal amount of the bonds represented at the meeting in person
or by proxy and voted on the resolution or as an instrument in writing signed by the registered holders of not less than 662/3% in principal amount of the
outstanding bonds. The quorum at any such meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution will be one or more registered holders of bonds present in
person or by proxy who represent at least a majority in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting called by
EDC or the Registrar, one or more persons being or representing registered holders of bonds whatever the principal amount of the bonds so held or
represented.
So long as the bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, notice of any amendment will be published in a leading newspaper having
general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange website at www.bourse.lu.
Governing Law
The bonds and the Fiscal Agency Agreement will be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada
and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
