relevant Pricing Supplement (as defined herein) contains all information which is material in the context of
the issue of Notes by the Issuer, that the statements contained in this Offering Circular relating to the Issuer
and the Notes to be issued by it are true and accurate in all material respects and not misleading in any
material respect and that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Issuer, there are no other facts the
omission of which would, in the context of the issue of the Notes, make any statement in this Offering

published information or as approved for such purpose by the Issuer and, if given or made, any such
information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or the
Dealers named under "Subscription and Sale" or any of them.
Neither the delivery of this Offering Circular or any Pricing Supplement nor the offering, sale or delivery
of any Notes shall, in any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs
of the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which this Offering Circular has been most recently

The distribution of this Offering Circular and any Pricing Supplement and the offering, sale and delivery
of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Offering
Circular or any Pricing Supplement comes are required by the Issuer and the Dealers to inform themselves

MiFID II Product Governance/Target Market
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II investment firms'
product governance" which will outline (i) the target market assessment in respect of the Notes, taking into
account the five categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by the European Securities
and Markets Authority ("ESMA") on 5 February 2018, and (ii) the appropriate distribution channels for the
Notes. Any person offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "Distributor") should take into
consideration the determinations made in this legend; however, a Distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (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 II
product governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID II Product Governance
Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise
neither the Issuer, the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer
for the purpose of the MiFID II Product Governance Rules.
Product Classification Pursuant to Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289 of
Singapore)
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "Singapore Securities and
Futures Act Product Classification" which will state the product classification of the Notes pursuant to
section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289 of Singapore) (the "SFA"). Any such
legend included on the relevant Pricing Supplement will constitute notice to "relevant persons" for the
purposes of section 309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
Benchmarks Regulation
Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to an index or
reference rate. If any such index or reference rate constitutes a benchmark (a "Benchmark") for the
purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"), the Pricing Supplement will
specify the relevant Benchmark, the relevant administrator and indicate whether or not the administrator is
included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by ESMA pursuant
to Article 36 (Register of administrators and benchmarks) of the Benchmarks Regulation. However, Article
51 (Transitional provisions) of the Benchmarks Regulation provides that providers already providing a
Benchmark on 30 June 2016 have until 1 January 2020 to apply for authorisation or registration in
accordance with Article 34 (Authorisation and registration of an administrator) of the Benchmarks
Regulation and may continue to provide such an existing Benchmark until 1 January 2020 or, where the
provider submits an application for authorisation or registration, unless and until such authorisation or
registration is refused. Such transitional provisions may have the result that the administrator of a particular
Benchmark is not required to appear in the register of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the
relevant Pricing Supplement. Additionally, certain Benchmarks and administrators may not fall within the
scope of the Benchmarks Regulation. The registration status of any administrator under the Benchmarks
Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not
intend to update any Pricing Supplement to reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.
Stabilisation
In connection with the issue of any Tranche (as defined in the "Summary of the Programme") of Notes, the
Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilising Manager(s) in the applicable Pricing Supplement (or
persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a
view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail
and will act as the central point responsible for handling any request from a competent authority and public
disclosures of information, in each case as required by Article 6(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable
to buy-back programmes and stabilisation measures. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any
stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of
the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no
later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be

conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising
Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
