IMPORTANT ­ EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any
Cover Bonds include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Covered
Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in
the United Kingdom (UK). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more)
of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (MiFID II ); or
(i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive (UE) 2016/97 (IDD), where that customer would not
qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no
key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the PRIIPs Regulation) for
offering or sel ing the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the Covered Bonds or otherw ise
6



making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the
PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds
wil include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which wil outline the target market
assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered
Bonds are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, sel ing or recommending the Covered
Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a
distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in
respect of the Covered Bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination wil be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID
Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product
Governance Rules), any Dealer subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respec t of
such Covered Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respec tive
affiliates wil be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
