IMPORTANT ­ PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the pricing supplement in respect of any notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of
Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
2







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 ("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 MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended,
the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), 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 Directive. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if the pricing supplement in respect of the notes
includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" but the Issuer
subsequently prepares and publishes a key information document under the PRIIPs Regulation in
respect of such notes, then, following such publication, the prohibition on the offering, sale or
otherwise making available of the notes to retail investors as described in the above paragraph
and in such legend shall no longer apply.
