GOVERNANCE" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which
channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, sel ing or
recommending the Notes (a "Distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment;

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS

If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA
RETAIL INVESTORS", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to

Economic Area ("EEA"). 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 the MiFID II Directive; or (i ) a customer within
the meaning of Directive EU 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4 (1) of the MiFID II Directive; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in
the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling
the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under
the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS

If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK

For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined
in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions
of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("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 UK law by
virtue of the EUWA; or (ii ) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129
as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required
by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in
the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available
to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

"anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "wil " and
similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This applies, in particular, to

not occur. In addition, neither the Issuer nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by
law, to update any forward-looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual
events or developments.

One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series and identical
in al respects, but may have different issue dates, issue prices and/or dates for first interest payments,
