Issue of U.S.$1,100,000,000 Floating Rate Notes due 2018
(the "Notes")
Guaranteed by Qatar National Bank S.A.Q.
under the
U.S.$12,500,000,000 Medium Term Note Programme

Issue Price: 100 per cent.
Issue Date: 20 May 2016

This information package includes the prospectus dated 3 November 2015 and the supplement
thereto dated 27 January 2016 in relation to U.S.$12,500,000,000 Medium Term Note
Programme (the "Prospectus") and the Final Term dated 5 May 2016 in respect of the Notes (the
"Final Terms" together with the Prospectus, the "Information Package").

The Notes will be issued by QNB Finance Ltd (the "Issuer") and guaranteed by Qatar National
Bank S.A.Q.

Application will be made by the Issuer for the Notes to be listed on the Taipei Exchange ("TPEx")
in the Republic of China (the "ROC").

The Notes will be listed on TPEx pursuant to the applicable rules of TPEx. Effective date of
listing and trading of the Notes is on or about 20 May 2016.

TPEx is not responsible for the content of the Information Package and no representation is made
by TPEx to the accuracy or completeness of the Information Package. TPEx expressly disclaims
any and all liability for any losses arising from, or as a result of the reliance on, all or part of the
contents of this Information Package. Admission to the listing and trading of the Notes on TPEx
shall not be taken as an indication of the merits of the Issuer or the Notes.

The Notes have not been, and shall not be, offered, sold or re-sold, directly or indirectly to
investors other than "professional investors" as defined under Paragraph 1 of Article 2-1 of the
Taipei Exchange Rules Governing Management of Foreign Currency Denominated International
Bonds of the ROC. Purchasers of the Notes are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the
Notes except by transfer to a professional investor.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered,
sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined
under the Securities Act), except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements



of the Securities Act.

ROC TAXATION

The following is a summary of certain ROC tax consequences with respect to the holders of the
Notes, and is prepared based on current laws and regulations of the ROC. It does not purport to
be comprehensive and does not constitute legal or tax advice. Investors (particularly those
subject to special tax rules, such as banks, dealers, insurance companies and tax-exempt entities)
should consult with their own tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of an investment in the
Notes.

Interests on the Notes

As the Issuer of the Notes is not an ROC statutory tax withholder, there is no ROC withholding
tax on the interest to be paid by the Issuer on the Notes. ROC corporate holders must include the
interest receivable under the Notes as part of their taxable income and pay income tax at a flat
rate of 17 per cent. (unless the total taxable income for a fiscal year is under $120,000 New
Taiwan Dollars), as they are subject to income tax on their worldwide income on an accrual basis.
The alternative minimum tax ("AMT") is not applicable.

Sale of the Notes

In general, the sale of corporate bonds or financial bonds is subject to 0.1 per cent. securities
transaction tax ("STT") on the transaction price. However, Article 2-1 of the Securities
Transaction Tax Act prescribes that STT will cease to be levied on the sale of corporate bonds
and financial bonds for seven years from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2016. Therefore, the
sale of the Notes will be exempt from STT if the sale is conducted on or before 31 December
2016. Starting from 1 January 2017, any sale of the Notes will be subject to STT at 0.1 per cent.
of the transaction price, unless otherwise provided by the tax laws that may be in force at that
time.

Capital gains generated from the sale of bonds are exempt from income tax. Accordingly, ROC
corporate holders are not subject to income tax on any capital gains generated from the sale of the
Notes. However, ROC corporate holders should include the capital gains in calculating their basic
income for the purpose of calculating their AMT. If the amount of the AMT exceeds the annual
income tax calculated pursuant to the AMT Act, the excess becomes the ROC corporate holders'
AMT payable. Capital losses, if any, incurred by such holders could be carried over 5 years to
offset against capital gains of same category of income for the purposes of calculating their AMT.

ROC SETTLEMENT AND TRADING

Investors with a securities book-entry account with an ROC securities broker and a foreign
currency deposit account with an ROC bank, may request the approval of the Taiwan Depositary
& Clearing Corporation ("TDCC") for the settlement of the Notes through the account of TDCC
with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg and if such approval is granted by TDCC, the Notes
may be so cleared and settled. In such circumstances, TDCC will allocate the respective book-
entry interest of such investor in the Notes position to the securities book-entry account



designated by such investor in the ROC. The Notes will be traded and settled pursuant to the
applicable rules and operating procedures of TDCC and the TPEx as domestic bonds.

In addition, an investor may apply to TDCC (by filing in a prescribed form) to transfer the Notes
in its own account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg to the TDCC account with
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg for trading in the domestic market or vice versa for
trading in overseas markets.

For such investors who hold their interest in the Notes through an account opened and held by
TDCC with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, distributions of principal and/or interest for
the Notes to such holders may be made by payment services banks whose systems are connected
to TDCC to the foreign currency deposit accounts of the holders. Such payment is expected to be
made on the second Taiwanese business day following TDCC's receipt of such payment (due to
time difference, the payment is expected to be received by TDCC one Taiwanese business day
after the distribution date). However, when the holders will actually receive such distributions
may vary depending upon the daily operations of the ROC banks with which the holder has the
foreign currency deposit account.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTOR

Application will be made for the listing of the Notes on the TPEx. No assurance can be given as
to whether the Notes will be, or will remain, listed on the TPEx. If the Notes fail to or cease to be
listed on the TPEx, certain investors may not invest in, or continue to hold or invest in, the Notes.
