The information on the websites or URLs to which this Base Prospectus refers does not form part of this Base
Prospectus, unless that information is incorporated by reference into the Base Prospectus (see "Documents
Incorporated by Reference"), and has not been scrutinised or approved by the CSSF.
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that, except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) below may apply,
any offer of Securities in any Member State of the European Economic Area (each, a Relevant State) will be
7

made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for
offers of Securities. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant State of
Securities which are the subject of an offering contemplated in this Base Prospectus as completed by final terms
in relation to the offer of those Securities may only do so (i) in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the
relevant Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 1 of the Prospectus Regulation or
supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer,
or (ii) if a prospectus for such offer has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant State or, where
appropriate, approved in another Relevant State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant State and
(in either case) published, all in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation, provided that any such prospectus has
subsequently been completed by final terms which specify that offers may be made other than pursuant to Article
1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation in that Relevant State, such offer is made in the period beginning and ending on
the dates specified for such purpose in such prospectus or final terms, as applicable and the relevant Issuer has
consented in writing to its use for the purpose of such offer. Except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) above may
apply, neither the relevant Issuer nor any Dealer have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer
of Securities in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the relevant Issuer or any Dealer to publish or
supplement a prospectus for such offer.
EEA MiFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Securities will include
a legend entitled "EEA MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect
of the Securities, taking into account the five (5) categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by
the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 February 2018, and which channels for distribution
of the Securities are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Securities (a
Distributor as defined in MiFID II) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a
Distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Securities (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
A determination will 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 Rules), any Dealer
subscribing for any Securities is a manufacturer as defined in MiFID II in respect of such Securities, but otherwise
none of the Arranger, the Dealers or any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the
MIFID Product Governance Rules.
PRIIPs / IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Securities includes
a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold
or otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, any retail investor
in the European Economic Area (EEA). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making
them available to retail investors in the EEA (a Key Information Document) has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation. If the Final Terms in respect of any Securities includes a legend entitled
"Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors Without KID", the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in
the EEA without an updated Key Information Document. 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 MiFID II; (ii) a customer within
the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Regulation.
PRIIPs / IMPORTANT UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Securities includes
a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold
or otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, any retail investor
in the United Kingdom (UK). 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 (EUWA) (as
amended, the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available
to retail investors in the UK (a Key Information Document) has been prepared and therefore offering or selling
the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK
PRIIPS Regulation. If the Final Terms in respect of any Securities includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales
to UK Retail Investors Without KID", the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
8

available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the UK without
an updated Key Information Document. 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 domestic
law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of 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 EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus
Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
