year commencing on or about 30 January 2018, as more fully described herein.
For so long as the compulsory interest provisions do not apply, the Issuer may elect not to pay interest on the

weakening its financial structure.
A Interest and the Principal Amount of the Notes may be reduced following a Supervisory Event, on a semi-
annual basis (see Condition 5.1 (Loss Absorption)).
The Notes may be redeemed (in whole but not in part) on 30 October 2017 and on any Interest Payment Date
(as defined in Condition 4 (Interest and Interest Suspension)) thereafter, at the option of the Issuer. The Issuer
will also have the right to redeem the Notes (in whole but not in part) for certain tax and regulatory reasons.

Stock Exchange for the Notes to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated
