CPP Investments Net Assets Total $539 Billion at 2022 Fiscal Year-End

Strong annual growth despite difficult fourth quarter Highlights: Net return of 6.8% Five-year net return of 10.0% 10-year net return of 10.8% Net assets increase by $42 billion for fiscal year One-year dollar value-added of $10 billion or 2.1% above the Reference Portfolios TORONTO, ON (May 19, 2022): Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) ended its fiscal year on March 31, 2022, with net assets of $539 billion, compared to $497 billion at the end of fiscal 2021. The $42 billion increase in net assets consisted of $34 billion in net income and $8 billion in net transfers from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The Fund, which includes the combination of the base CPP and additional CPP accounts, achieved a net return of 6.8% for the fiscal year, and five-year and 10-year annualized net returns of 10.0% and 10.8%, respectively. In managing the Fund in the best interests of contributors and beneficiaries, CPP Investments continues to build a portfolio designed to achieve a maximum rate of return, without undue risk of loss, while considering the factors that may affect the funding of the CPP and its ability to pay current benefits. Since the CPP is designed to serve multiple generations of beneficiaries, evaluating the performance of CPP Investments over extended periods is more suitable than single years. In the five-year period up to and including fiscal 2022, CPP Investments has contributed $199 billion in cumulative net income to the Fund. Since its inception in 1999, CPP Investments has contributed $378 billion to the Fund on a net basis. “CPP Investments delivered solid returns in fiscal 2022 despite turbulent market conditions in the wake of Russia’s war on Ukraine, supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic and rising inflation,” said John Graham, President & CEO. “Our 10-year performance of nearly 11%, the same as it stood at the end of the last fiscal year, demonstrates the enduring growth of the Fund over the long haul on the one hand, with steady resilience during uncertain times, on the other.” Private equity, infrastructure, real estate and credit investments were the predominant contributors to the Fund’s overall performance in fiscal 2022. The volatility affecting public equities during the final quarter, at levels not seen since the outset of the pandemic, muted returns achieved through the first nine months of the fiscal year. Bond prices also declined in the fourth quarter at a pace unseen in more than 40 years. For reference, CPP Investments’ calendar-year return for 2021 was 13.8%. “We move forward from a position of strength, focusing on our sound diversification strategy and a disciplined outlook beyond current events. Our confidence is grounded in the robust CPP Investments platform, designed for resiliency, with mature programs at scale, market breadth and local presence, amply supported by an admired global brand. Our purpose-driven people are dedicated – with a demonstrable track record of investment performance and operational excellence – to helping current and future beneficiaries achieve retirement security,” added Graham. The appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies during the year, influenced by rising commodity prices and the impact of evolving monetary and fiscal policies across global economies, negatively impacted investment returns with a foreign currency loss of $4 billion. “Looking ahead, we confront uncertain business and investment conditions with higher inflation expectations, potentially worsening supply chain interruptions, tepid global economic growth estimates and international reactions to the war in Europe, all against the backdrop of a persistent global pandemic and climate change,” concluded Graham. Performance of the Base and Additional CPP Accounts The base CPP account ended the fiscal year on March 31, 2022, with net assets of $527 billion, compared to $491 billion at the end of fiscal 2021. The $36 billion increase in net assets consisted of $34 billion in net income and $2 billion in net transfers from the CPP. The base CPP account achieved a 6.9% net return for the fiscal year and a five-year annualized net return of 10.0%. The additional CPP account ended the fiscal year on March 31, 2022, with net assets of $12 billion, compared to $6 billion at the end of fiscal 2021. The more than $6 billion increase in net assets consisted of $147 million in net income and $6 billion in net transfers from CPP. The additional CPP account achieved a 2.8% net return for the fiscal year, and an annualized net return of 7.2% since its inception in 2019. The additional CPP was designed with a different legislative funding profile and contribution rate compared to the base CPP. Given the differences in their design, the additional CPP has had a different market risk target and investment profile since its inception in 2019. The performance of the additional CPP differs from that of the base CPP. Furthermore, due to the differences in their net contribution profiles, the assets in the additional CPP account are also expected to grow at a much faster rate than those in the base CPP account. Fund Five- and 10-Year Returns1 (for the year ended March 31, 2022) Long-Term Sustainability Every three years, the Office of the Chief Actuary of Canada (OCA) conducts an independent review on the sustainability of the CPP over the next 75 years. In the most recent triennial review published in December 2019, the Chief Actuary reaffirmed that, as at December 31, 2018, both the base and additional CPP continue to be sustainable over the 75-year projection period at the legislated contribution rates. The Chief Actuary’s projections assume that, over the 75 years following 2018, the base CPP account will earn an average annual rate of return of 3.95% above the rate of Canadian consumer price inflation. The corresponding assumption is that the additional CPP account will earn an average annual real rate of return of 3.38%. Fund Five- and 10-Year Real Returns1, 2 (for the year ended March 31, 2022) Our Key Sources of Returns Contributions made to the CPP not needed to pay current benefits are transferred to CPP Investments. To help the CPP remain sustainable, we seek to grow assets by achieving returns commensurate with prudent levels of risk. Risk appetite is one of the most important decisions made by CPP Investments. Just as excessive risk could adversely affect the safety and soundness of the CPP, so could being too cautious. We represent the minimum required level of market risk as a simple two-asset portfolio of global public equities and Canadian government bonds for both the base CPP and additional CPP. This serves as our starting point against which we evaluate the incremental impact of our biggest investment decisions. Importantly, CPP Investments goes beyond this minimum, pursuant to its legislative objectives, by seeking to achieve a maximum rate of return while taking a prudent level of risk. The decisions we have made in accordance with our legislated mandate are to: Target a higher level of market risk than the minimum required as represented by our Reference Portfolios; Use leverage to construct a more diversified portfolio at our targeted level of market risk; and Pursue investment selection and seek returns above and beyond what can be obtained from investing in a public market index. These represent our key sources of returns because, depending on the level of market risk we choose to target or how we choose to diversify the Fund, the outcomes of these decisions have the most material impact on the overall performance of the Fund. We evaluate the successive impact of these decisions primarily over a five-year period, in line with the long-term nature of our mandate to maximize returns without undue risk of loss. Over the last five years, the simple two-asset portfolio representing the minimum level of market risk assumed to maintain plan sustainability generated an annualized net nominal return of 6.1%, resulting from the strong performance of global public equities. Targeting a higher level of market risk, pursuant to our legislative objectives, helped add an incremental annualized return of 3.1%, driven by the higher level of global public equity content in our Reference Portfolios for both the base and additional CPP. Our decision to use leverage to further diversify the Fund incrementally detracted an estimated annualized return of 1.9% from the Fund over the last five years. The Fund’s more diversified portfolio did not keep pace with the returns of the Reference Portfolios, which are more heavily weighted in global public equities. While our decision to diversify into a broader range of asset classes may have detracted value relative to the Reference Portfolios over the past five years, we continue to believe diversification will add value over a longer-term period and provide resiliency during market downturns. Our decision to pursue investment selection added an annualized 2.7% of additional value over the past five years. The value gained or lost through investment selection is measured against comparable risk-adjusted passive public market benchmarks to enable an objective evaluation of the contributions of each active strategy to Fund performance. Overall, the Fund’s performance relative to the Reference Portfolios can be measured in both percentage terms or dollar terms, which we refer to as percentage value-added and dollar value-added, respectively. On a relative basis, the Fund delivered a percentage value-added of 2.1% or a dollar value-added of $10 billion this fiscal year. Over the past five years, the Fund generated an overall net value-added of 0.8% or $10 billion. While not all key sources of return may yield positive results in every period, we believe our comparative advantages support our ability to generate value with a long-term focus. Our investment performance to date supports our belief that pursuing additional sources of returns can increase returns over the long term. Seeking to maximize returns without undue risk of loss from all sources collectively allows us to do our part in contributing to the long-term sustainability of the CPP. For further information on our Key Sources of Returns, please refer to page 20 of the CPP Investments Fiscal 2022 Annual Report. Asset and Geography Mix CPP Investments, inclusive of both the base CPP and additional CPP Investment Portfolios, is diversified across asset classes and geographies: 1Fixed income consists of cash and cash equivalents, money market securities and government bonds, net of debt financing liabilities. Public Equities include absolute return strategies and related investment liabilities. 2As at March 31, 2022, $49 billion of real estate, $48 billion of infrastructure and $26 billion of our private equity investments associated with sustainable energies, which collectively represented 23% of net assets, are managed by the Real Assets investment department. Performance by Asset Class and Geography Five-year Fund returns by asset class and geography are reported in the tables below. A more detailed breakdown of performance by investment department is included on page 54 of the Fiscal 2022 Annual Report. Managing CPP Investments Costs We treat cost management as a tenet of our public accountability as we seek to build an internationally competitive investment platform to maximize long-term returns. While total costs are down compared to the previous year, operating expenses increased by $106 million due to an increase in full-time globally positioned talent, higher incentive compensation, in line with better year-over-year long-term Fund performance, and continued investments in building our technology and data infrastructure. Our operating expense ratio of 27.1 basis points (bps) declined from 29.3 bps the previous year and is also below our five-year average of 29.1 bps. Management fees decreased by $125 million, due to the recognition of management fees last fiscal year which were subject to deferred payment arrangements. Performance fees increased by $98 million driven by strong realizations in our private equity portfolio. Transaction-related expenses, which increased by $172 million, vary from year to year according to the number, size and complexity of our investing activities. Other categories affecting our total cost profile include taxes and expenses associated with various forms of leverage. Page 33 of the Fiscal 2022 Annual Report provides a discussion of how we manage our costs. For a complete overview of the CPP Investments combined cost profile, including year-over-year comparisons, refer to page 52.

Bond issuance In fiscal 2022, CPP Investments continued its leadership role in the global transition to the new reference rates through its U.S. Dollar (USD) issuance platform, with a 3-year USD secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) benchmark totalling US$1.4 billion – the largest 3-year SOFR benchmark by any sovereign, supranational or agency issuer to date. Debt issuance gives CPP Investments flexibility to fund investments that may not match our contribution cycle. Net proceeds from the issuances will be used by CPP Investments for general corporate purposes. With our continued commitment to sustainable investing, CPP Investments grew its green bond presence in the Australian-dollar market with a benchmark 7-year green bond valued at A$750 million. The total issuance of green bonds since inception of the program is now C$6.2 billion. Green bonds enable CPP Investments to invest further in eligible assets such as renewables, water and green real estate projects, and to diversify the investor base.
