MiFID II product governance / target market
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Program Securities may include a legend entitled "MiFID II
Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities
and which channels for distribution of the Program Securities are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Program Securities (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 Program Securities (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 Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any
dealer subscribing for any Program Securities is a manufacturer in respect of such Program Securities, but
otherwise neither the dealer(s) nor any of its respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the
MiFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Program Securities may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR
Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities
and which channels for distribution of the Program Securities are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Program Securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and
Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities (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 UK MiFIR Product
Governance Rules, any dealer subscribing for any Program Securities is a manufacturer in respect of such
Program Securities, but otherwise neither dealer(s) nor any of its respective affiliates will be a manufacturer
for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
Benchmarks Regulation

Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Program Securities may be calculated by reference to certain
reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of Regulation (EU)
2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on indices used as benchmarks in financial
instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds (the "Benchmarks
Regulation") and the Benchmarks Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the
"UK Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference rate does constitute such a benchmark, the Pricing
Supplement will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register
of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets
Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 (Register of administrators and benchmarks) of the Benchmarks
Regulation and whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register of
administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct
Authority ("FCA") pursuant to Article 36 (Register of administrators and benchmarks) of the UK Benchmarks
Regulation. Transitional provisions in the Benchmarks Regulation and the UK Benchmarks Regulation may
have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear in the relevant register
of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the Pricing Supplement. The registration status of any
administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation and the UK Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public
record and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the Pricing Supplement
to reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.

are familiar with the behaviour of the Relevant Underlying or Relevant Factor, as applicable and
relevant financial markets and be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial and
legal advisor) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its
investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Program Securities are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do
not purchase complex financial instruments as standalone investments. They purchase complex financial
instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of
risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in the Program Securities unless it has
the expertise (either alone or with a financial and legal advisor) to evaluate how the Program Securities will
perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Program Securities and the impact
this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio. Each Issuer, and the
Distribution Agents, disclaim any responsibility to advise prospective investors of any matters arising under
the law of the country in which they reside that may affect the purchase of, or holding of, or the receipt of
payments or deliveries on the Program Securities.
Secured Overnight Financing Rate
As further described under "Risk Factors Relating to the Program Securities" below, the interest rate on the
Notes may be SOFR.
SOFR is published by the New York Federal Reserve and is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of
borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. The New York Federal Reserve reports
that SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate and bilateral Treasury repurchase
agreement (repo) transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the Fixed
Income Clearing Corporation (the "FICC"), a subsidiary of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation
("DTCC"), and SOFR is filtered by the New York Federal Reserve to remove some (but not all) of the
foregoing transactions considered to be "specials". According to the New York Federal Reserve, "specials"
are repos for specific-issue collateral, which take place at cash-lending rates below those for general collateral
repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash in order to obtain a particular
security.
The New York Federal Reserve reports that SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of transaction-
level triparty repo data collected from The Bank of New York Mellon as well as General Collateral Finance
Repo transaction data and data on bilateral Treasury repo transactions cleared through the FICC's delivery-
versus-payment service. The New York Federal Reserve also notes that it obtains information from DTCC
Solutions LLC, an affiliate of DTCC.
If data for a given market segment were unavailable for any day, then the most recently available data for that
segment would be utilized, with the rates on each transaction from that day adjusted to account for any change
in the level of market rates in that segment over the intervening period. SOFR would be calculated from this
adjusted prior day's data for segments where current data were unavailable, and unadjusted data for any
segments where data were available. To determine the change in the level of market rates over the intervening
period for the missing market segment, the New York Federal Reserve would use information collected
through a daily survey conducted by its Trading Desk of primary dealers' repo borrowing activity. Such daily
survey would include information reported by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Morgan Stanley, as a primary dealer.
The New York Federal Reserve notes on its publication page for SOFR that use of SOFR is subject to
important limitations, indemnification obligations and disclaimers, including that the New York Federal
Reserve may alter the methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or availability of
SOFR at any time without notice.

Each U.S. government securities business day, the New York Federal Reserve publishes SOFR on its website
at approximately 8:00 a.m., New York City time. If errors are discovered in the transaction data provided by
The Bank of New York Mellon or DTCC Solutions LLC, or in the calculation process, subsequent to the initial
publication of SOFR but on that same day, SOFR and the accompanying summary statistics may be
republished at approximately 2:30 p.m., New York City time. Additionally, if transaction data from The Bank
of New York Mellon or DTCC Solutions LLC had previously not been available in time for publication, but
became available later in the day, the affected rate or rates may be republished at around this time. Rate
revisions will only be effected on the same day as initial publication and will only be republished if the change
in the rate exceeds one basis point. Any time a rate is revised, a footnote to the New York Federal Reserve's
publication would indicate the revision. This revision threshold will be reviewed periodically by the New York
Federal Reserve and may be changed based on market conditions.
Because SOFR is published by the New York Federal Reserve based on data received from other sources, the
Issuer has no control over its determination, calculation or publication. See "Risk Factors Relating to the
Program Securities" below.
The information contained in this section "Secured Overnight Financing Rate" is based upon the New York
Federal Reserve's Website and other U.S. government sources.
