IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Cover Bonds include a
legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Covered Bonds 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). 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 Directive
2014/65/EU (MiFID II); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (UE) 2016/97 (IDD), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the PRIIPs
Regulation) for offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors
in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT ­ UK RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Cover Bonds includes a
legend entitled Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors, the Cover Bonds are not intended to be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any r etail
investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of : ( i) a r etail
client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domes tic law
by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018; or (ii) a customer w ithin the meaning of the
provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act, 2000 (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 European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. 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 (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Cover
4





Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Cover Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may
be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds w ill
include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which wil outline the target market assessment in
respect of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Covered Bonds (a "distributor") 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 Covered Bonds (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 Pr oduct
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any
Dealer subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but
otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealer(s) nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manuf ac tur er
for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market - The Final Terms in respect of any Cover Bonds will
include a legend entitled UK MiFIR Product Governance which will outline the target market assessment in
respect of the Cover Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Cover Bonds are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Cover Bonds (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR product
governance rules set out in the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook
(the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules) is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Cover Bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market asses s ment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
product governance rules set out in UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any
Cover Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Cover Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arrangers nor the
Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product
Governance Rules.
