Dematerialised Securities Law as the Fiduciary may appoint from time to time (a Settlement Organisation) (the
Dematerialised Notes), provided that the Dematerialised Notes of the same Series or Tranche are at al times kept in
an issuance account with a single settlement organisation in accordance with the Dematerialised Securities Law.
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveil ance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as
competent authority under the loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières dated 10 July 2005, as amended, which
implements the Prospectus Directive (the Luxembourg Act) to approve this document as a base prospectus for the
purpose of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive. Such application does not extend to money market instruments (as
defined in the Prospectus Directive) having a maturity of less than one year or to Notes (which are not publicly offered)
to be admitted to trading on the EuroMTF (as defined below). By approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF gives no
undertaking as to the economic or financial opportuneness of the transaction or the quality or solvency of the Fiduciary
in line with the provisions of article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Act. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and
to be admitted to trading on (i) the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and (i ) the multilateral trading facilities
Euro MTF of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the EuroMTF). The regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instrument Directive (2014/65/EU of 15 May 2014 (as
amended, MiFID II) (a Regulated Market). The EuroMTF is not a Regulated Market but it is subject to the supervision of
the CSSF. Notes issued under the Programme may also be unlisted or listed and admitted to trading on any other market,
including any other Regulated Market in any Member State of the EEA and/or offered to the public in any Member State
of the EEA. The applicable Final Terms (as defined below) in respect of the issue of any Notes wil specify whether or not
such Notes wil be listed and admitted to trading on any market and/or offered to the public in any Member State of the
EEA and, if so, the relevant market.
Application has also been made to SIX Swiss Exchange to approve this document as an "issuance programme" for the
listing of derivatives and an "issuance programme" for the listing of bonds, both in accordance with the listing rules of SIX
Swiss Exchange. In respect of Notes to be listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, this Base Prospectus and the applicable Final
Terms wil constitute the listing prospectus pursuant to the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange.
The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information in this Base Prospectus pertaining to Notes admitted to
trading on the EuroMTF and/or listed on SIX Swiss Exchange. The CSSF assumes therefore no responsibility in relation
to the issues of Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF and/or listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.
This Base Prospectus wil be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu) in
accordance with article 16 of the Luxembourg Act.
The Notes and any guarantee thereof have not been and wil not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or under the securities law of any state or political sub-division of the United
States, and trading in the Notes has not been approved by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC)
under the United States Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the CEA). No person has registered and no
person wil register as a "commodity pool operator" of the Fiduciary under the CEA and the rules thereunder (the CFTC
Rules) of the CFTC, and the Fiduciary has not and wil not be registered as an investment company under the United
States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the Investment
Company Act). The Notes are being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S thereunder (Regulation S).
Accordingly, the Notes may only be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in an "offshore transaction" (as defined
under Regulation S) to or for the account or benefit of a person who (a) is not a U.S. person as defined in Regulation S
(Regulation S U.S. Person) or (i) if the applicable Final Terms specify that a United States person as defined in paragraph
7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRS U.S. Person) is also applicable, or (ii) if in the case of SGI Index
Linked Notes, Advised SGI Index is applicable or if in the case of Portfolio Linked Notes, Dynamic Portfolio is applicable,
a person who is not a Regulation S U.S. Person or not an IRS U.S. Person unless the applicable Final Terms specify that
only a Regulation S U.S. Person is applicable; and (b) is not a person who comes within any definition of U.S. person for
the purposes of the CEA or any CFTC Rule, guidance or order proposed or issued under the CEA (for the avoidance of
doubt, any person who is not a "Non-United States person" defined under CFTC Rule 4.7(a)(1)(iv), but excluding, for
purposes of subsection (D) thereof, the exception for qualified eligible persons who are not "Non-United States persons",
shal be considered a U.S. person); and (c) is not a "U.S. Person" for purposes of the final rules implementing the credit
risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the U.S. Risk
Retention Rules) (a Risk Retention U.S. Person) (such a person or account as described herein, a Permitted
Transferee). The Notes are available only to Permitted Transferees.

Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes
which are applicable to each Tranche (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) of Notes wil be set out in a
final terms document (the Final Terms) which (except in the case of Private Placement Notes or Notes that must be
distributed in or from Switzerland exclusively to Swiss qualified investors (al as defined in the section entitled "General
Terms and Conditions") wil be filed with the CSSF. The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to
trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the
Fiduciary, the Guarantor and the relevant Purchaser. The Fiduciary may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not
admitted to trading on any market.
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED WITH, OR APPROVED
BY, ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES OR COMMODITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY
AUTHORITY. FURTHERMORE, THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE
MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.
U.S. Treasury regulations issued under Section 871(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Section 871(m)
Regulations) general y impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid (within the meaning
of the relevant Section 871(m) Regulations) to a non-United States holder (a Non-U.S. Holder) with respect to certain
financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities (U.S. Underlying Equities). Specifical y,
and subject to special rules from 2017 through 2020 set out in Notice 2018-72 (the Notice), the Section 871(m)
Regulations wil general y apply to Notes issued on or after 1 January 2017 that substantial y replicate the economic
performance of one or more U.S. Underlying Equities as determined by the Fiduciary (or Guarantor) on the date for such
Notes as of which the expected delta of the product is determined by the Fiduciary (or Guarantor) based on tests in
accordance with the applicable Section 871(m) Regulations (for the purposes of the Notice, such Notes are deemed
"delta-one" instruments) (the Specified Notes). A Note linked to U.S. Underlying Equities which the Fiduciary (or
Guarantor) has determined not to be a Specified Note wil not be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m)
Regulations. Investors are advised that the Fiduciary's (or Guarantor's) determination is binding on al Non-U.S. Holders
of the Notes, but it is not binding on the United States Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) and the IRS may therefore
disagree with the Fiduciary's determination.
The U.S. tax treatment of ownership of a Repack Note is unclear. Solely for U.S. tax purposes, a holder of the Repack
Notes wil be treated as the owner of any specified bonds that col ateralised the Repack Notes. In addition, the holder
wil be treated as directly facing the Guarantor on any swaps or other derivatives held by the Fiduciary to hedge its
exposure on the notes (the Hedge). As a consequence of this treatment, to the extent the specified bonds pay U.S.-
source interest income, a holder must provide certain U.S. tax documentation to the Fiduciary to receive such income
free from U.S. withholding tax. In addition, to the extent the Hedge substantial y replicates the economic performance of
one or more U.S. Underlying Equities as determined by the Fiduciary (or Guarantor), a Non-U.S. Holder may be subject
to withholding tax under Section 871(m) as described above. The Fiduciary, Guarantor and holder agree to this treatment,
but investors are advised that the IRS is not bound by this treatment and may therefore disagree with it.
The applicable Final Terms wil specify if the Notes are Specified Notes, and, if so, whether the Fiduciary, the Guarantor,
or a withholding agent wil withhold tax under Section 871(m) Regulations and the rate of the withholding tax. Investors
should note that if the Fiduciary or any withholding agent determines that withholding is required, neither the Fiduciary
nor the withholding agent wil be required to gross up any amounts withheld in connection with a Specified Note. Investors
should consult their tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) Regulations to their investment in
the Notes.
The Notes may be rated at the latest on the relevant Issue Date by one or more rating agencies. The rating(s) of the
Notes (if any) wil be specified in the applicable Final Terms, including as to whether or not such credit ratings are issued
by credit rating agencies established in the European Union, registered (or which have applied for registration) under
Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 16 September 2009, as amended
(the CRA Regulation) and are included in the list of credit rating agencies registered in accordance with the CRA
Regulation published on the European Securities and Markets Authority (www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-
certified-CRAs).
In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not
issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the
rating is provided by a credit agency operating in the European Union before 7 June 2010 which has submitted an
application for registration in accordance with the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused. A rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sel or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, change, or withdrawal at any time by
the assigning rating agency without notice.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes state "Prohibition of Sales to EEA
Retail Investors" as Applicable, the Notes 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 MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended or superseded, 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 (i i) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded, the
Prospectus Directive). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors
in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail
investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II product governance/ target market the Final Terms in respect of any Notes wil include a legend entitled
"MiFID II product governance". Any person subsequently offering, sel ing or recommending the Notes (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 Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination wil be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product Governance rules
under EU Delegated 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a
manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger or the Dealer nor any of their respective
affiliates wil be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR, LIBOR or SGI Indices, which are
respectively provided by the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI), ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (ICE,)
and SGI. Amounts payable under the Notes may also be calculated by reference to one or more other "benchmarks" (as
specified in the applicable Final Terms) for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 8 June 2016 (the Benchmarks Regulation). In this case, a statement wil be included in the
applicable Final Terms as to whether or not the relevant administrator of the "benchmark" is included in ESMA's register
of administrators under Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, (i) ICE and SGI
appear on the register and (i ) EMMI does not appear on such register. As far as the Fiduciary is aware, the transitional
provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that EMMI is not currently required to obtain
authorisation or registration.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as modified
or amended from time to time (the Securities and Futures Act) Unless otherwise stated in the Final Terms in respect
of any Notes, in connection with Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act and the Securities and Futures (Capital
Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the CMP Regulations 2018), the Fiduciary has determined, and
hereby notifies al relevant persons (as defined in Section 309(A)(1) of the Securities and Futures Act), that the Notes are
capital markets products other than prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and
Specified Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and
MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
