DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2015 by the Registrants (Registration No. 333-206233) (the “2015 Registration Statement”) to register the sale of up to $750,000,000 worth of the Registrants’ common shares, preference shares, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants to purchase common shares, preference shares or debt securities, share purchase contracts, share purchase units, units, preferred securities and guarantees (collectively, the “Securities”), is being filed to deregister all of the Securities not yet issued under the 2015 Registration Statement.

On August 3, 2017 the Registrants filed an updated registration statement on Form S-3. As a result, the offering of Securities under the 2015 Registration Statement has been terminated and the Registrants desire to remove from registration all Securities registered pursuant to the 2015 Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the date hereof.

Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the 2015 Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the Securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrants hereby amend the 2015 Registration Statement by deregistering all Securities that were registered but unsold under the 2015 Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
