IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Covered 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

2016/97, as amended (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, as amended (the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or sel ing the Covered Bonds or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
sel ing the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be

6

within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act, 2000 (the FSMA) and any
rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No
600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for
offering or sel ing the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has

any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds w ill

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 Rule s ), any
Dealer subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but

for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market - The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds w ill
include a legend entitled UK MiFIR 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 the UK MiFIR
product governance rules set out in the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules) 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 UK MiFIR
product governance rules set out in UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any
Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arrangers
nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates wil be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK
