EXECUTION VERSION
FINAL TERMS
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ The Covered Bonds, from 1 January 2018,
are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, with effect from such date, 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 (MiFID II); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive
2002/92/EC (IMD), 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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the
Prospectus Directive). 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.
