Taxation in Switzerland
The following is a summary of certain tax implications under the laws of Switzerland as they may affect investors. It
applies only to persons who are beneficial owners of Notes and may not apply to certain classes of persons. The
Issuer makes no representations as to the completeness of the information nor undertake any liability of whatso-
ever nature for the tax implications for investors. Potential investors are strongly advised to consult their own pro-
fessional advisers in light of their particular circumstances.
Swiss Federal Withholding Tax
At present, payment of interest on the Notes and repayment of principal of the Notes are not subject to Swiss
federal withholding tax, provided that the Issuer is at all times resident and managed outside Switzerland for Swiss
tax purposes.
On 4 November 2015 the Swiss Federal Council announced a mandate to the Swiss Federal Finance Department
to institute a group of experts tasked with the preparation of a new proposal for a reform of the Swiss withholding
tax system. The new proposal is expected to include in respect of interest payments the replacement of the exist-
ing debtor-based regime by a paying agent-based regime for Swiss withholding tax similar to the one published on
17 December 2014 by the Swiss Federal Council and repealed on 24 June 2015 following the negative outcome
of the legislative consultation with Swiss official and private bodies. Under such a new paying agent-based regime,
if enacted, a paying agent in Switzerland may be required to deduct Swiss withholding tax on any payments or any
securing of payments of interest in respect of a Note for the benefit of the beneficial owner of the payment unless
certain procedures are complied with to establish that the owner of the Note is not an individual resident in
Switzerland.
Swiss Federal Securities Turnover Tax
The issue and the sale of a Note on the issuance day (primary market transaction) are not subject to Swiss federal
securities turnover tax (Umsatzabgabe). Secondary market dealings in Notes may be subject to the Swiss federal
securities turnover tax at a rate of up to 0.30 per cent. of the purchase price of the Notes, however, only if a secur-
ities dealer in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, as defined in the Swiss federal stamp duty act (Bundesgesetz über die
Stempelabgaben), is a party or acts as an intermediary to the transaction and no exemption applies.
Income Taxation on Principal or Interest
a) Notes Held by Non Swiss Holders
Payments of interest and repayment of principal by the Issuer to, and gain realised on the sale or redemption of
Notes by, a holder of Notes who is not a resident of Switzerland and who during the current taxation year has not
engaged in a trade or business through a permanent establishment in Switzerland to which such Note is attribut-
able will not be subject to any Swiss federal, cantonal or communal income tax in respect of such Note.
For the potential new Swiss withholding tax legislation replacing the current issuer based withholding tax system
for a paying agent based system, see above "--Swiss Federal Withholding Tax".
b) Notes Held as Private Assets by a Swiss Resident Holder
Individuals who are resident in Switzerland and who hold Notes as private assets are required to include all pay-
ments of interest on such Notes in their personal income tax return for the relevant tax period and will be taxable on
any net taxable income for such tax period.
A capital gain, including a gain relating to accrued interest realised on the sale or redemption of Notes by such a
Swiss resident holder, is a tax free private capital gain, and, conversely, a respective loss on the Note is a non tax
deductible private capital loss.
8

Notes without a "predominant one-time interest payment": Holders of Notes without a predominant onetime inter-
est payment (the yield-to-maturity predominantly derives from periodic interest payments and not from a onetime
interest payment) who are individuals receive payments of interest on Notes (either in the form of periodic interest
payments or as a one-time-interest-payment such as an issue discount or a repayment premium) are required to
include such payments in their personal income tax return and will be taxable on any net taxable income (including
the payments of interest on the Notes) for the relevant tax period.
Notes with a "predominant one-time interest payment": In the case of notes with a "predominant one-time interest
payment" (the yield-to-maturity predominantly derives from a one-time-interest-payment such as an original issue
discount or a repayment premium and not from periodic interest payments), the positive difference (including any
capital and foreign exchange gain) between the amount received upon sale or redemption and the issue price (if
the notes were purchased thereafter) will be classified as a taxable interest payment, as opposed to a tax-free
capital gain (differential taxation method). Losses realised on the sale of notes with a "predominant onetime inter-
est payment" may be offset against gains realised within the same tax period on the sale of any notes with a "pre-
dominant one-time interest payment".
c)
Notes Held as Swiss Business Assets and by Private Persons Classified as Professional Securities Dealers
Individuals who hold Notes as part of a business in Switzerland and Swiss resident corporate taxpayers and cor-
porate taxpayers resident abroad holding Notes as part of a permanent establishment in Switzerland, are required
to recognise the payments of interest and any gain realised on the sale or redemption of such Notes (including a
gain relating to interest accrued) and any loss on such Notes in their income statement for the respective tax
period and will be taxable on any net taxable earnings for such period. The same taxation treatment also applies to
Swiss resident individuals who, for income tax purposes, are classified as "professional securities dealers" for
reasons of, inter alia, frequent dealings and leveraged investments in securities.
Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters
The Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters ("AEI") is a global initiative led by the Organization of Eco-
nomic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). It aims to establish a universal standard for automatic exchange
of tax information and to increase tax transparency. Jurisdictions that are committed to implement or have imple-
mented the AEI (such as Switzerland, the member countries of the European Union ("EU") and many other juris-
dictions worldwide) require their Reporting Financial Institutions in accordance with the respective local imple-
menting law to determine the tax residence(s) of their account holders and controlling persons (as applicable) and,
in case of reportable accounts, report certain identification information, account information and financial informa-
tion (including the account balance and related payments such as interest, dividends, other income and gross
proceeds) to the local tax authority which will then exchange the information received with the tax authorities in the
relevant reportable jurisdictions.
More specifically, Switzerland has concluded a multilateral AEI agreement with the EU (replacing the EU savings
tax agreement) and has concluded bilateral AEI agreements with several non-EU countries. In accordance with
such multilateral agreements and bilateral agreements and the implementing laws of Switzerland, Switzerland has
begun exchange data so collected, and such data may include data about payments made in respect of the Notes.
