(1)Issued by Manulife Holdings (Delaware) LLC (“MHDLL”), now John Hancock Financial Corporation (“JHFC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MFC, to Manulife
Finance (Delaware) LLC (“MFLLC”), a subsidiary of Manulife Finance (Delaware) L.P. (“MFLP”). MFLP and its subsidiaries are wholly owned unconsolidated
related parties of the Company. Effective July 1, 2024, the notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), plus
a spread adjustment of 0.32138%, plus 0.72%. With regulatory approval, JHFC may redeem the note, in whole or in part, at any time, at par, together with accrued
and unpaid interest. Refer to note 17.
(2)Issued by MFC, interest is payable semi-annually. After May 23, 2030, the interest rate will reset to equal the Daily Compounded CORRA plus 1.32%. With
regulatory approval, MFC may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on or after May 23, 2030, at a redemption price equal to par, together with accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.
(3)Capital instruments with interest rates resetting in the future that reference Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) and the U.S. Dollar Mid-Swap rate (based on
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)) include the 2.818% subordinated debentures and 4.061% subordinated debentures, respectively. Future rate resets for
these capital instruments may rely on alternative reference rates such as CORRA, the alternative rate for CDOR, and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate
(SOFR) and the alternative rate for USD LIBOR. As at December 31, 2025, the interest rate benchmark reform has not resulted in material changes in the
Company's risk management strategy.

13, 2030, the redemption price shall be the greater of: (i) the Canada yield price as defined in the prospectus; and (ii) par. If the redemption date is on or after May
13, 2030, the redemption price shall be equal to par.

unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

measurement of the subordinated notes into Canadian dollars.
