Notice Regarding Offers in the EEA and the UK
The Prospectus referred to below (as completed by these Final Terms) has been prepared on the basis that any
offer of Covered Bonds in any Member State of the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom will
be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the "Prospectus
Regulation") or the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law (the "UK
Prospectus Regulation") by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (the "EUWA"),
as applicable, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Covered Bonds. Accordingly, any
person making or intending to make an offer in any Member State of the European Economic Area or in the
United Kingdom of the Covered Bonds may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the
Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or section 85
of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) (the "FSMA"), as applicable, or supplement a
prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation or the UK Prospectus Regulation, as applicable,
in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorized, nor do they authorize,
the making of any offer of Covered Bonds in any other circumstances.
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 (the "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 (as amended, "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. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as
amended (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.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK 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 United Kingdom ("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 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 (as amended), 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 UK Prospectus Regulation.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended) as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the
Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in
the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

Intended to be held in a manner
No. Whilst the designation is specified as "no" at the date of these Final
which would allow Eurosystem
Terms, should the Eurosystem eligibility criteria be amended in the
eligibility:
future such that the Covered Bonds are capable of meeting them the
Covered Bonds may then be deposited with one of the ICSDs as
common safekeeper (and registered in the name of a nominee of one of
the ICSDs acting as common safekeeper). Note that this does not
necessarily mean that the Covered Bonds will then be recognised as
eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intraday credit
operations by the Eurosystem at any time during their life. Such
recognition will depend upon the ECB being satisfied that Eurosystem
eligibility criteria have been met.
