TAXATION
The following is a general description of certain tax considerations relating to the Notes. It does not purport
to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Notes, whether in the countries mentioned
below or elsewhere. Prospective purchasers of Notes should consult their own tax advisers as to which
countries' tax laws could be relevant to acquiring, holding and disposing of Notes and receiving payments
of interest, principal and/or other amounts under the Notes and the consequences of such actions under the
tax laws of those countries. This summary is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this Offering
Circular and is subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date.
UNITED KINGDOM TAXATION
This section "United Kingdom Taxation" shall replace in its entirety the section headed "United Kingdom
Taxation" in the Base Prospectus (set out on pages 120 to 121 of this Offering Circular).
The following is a summary of the United Kingdom withholding taxation treatment at the date hereof in
relation to payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes. It is based on current law and the
practice of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs ("HMRC"), which may be subject to change, sometimes with
retrospective effect. The comments do not deal with other United Kingdom tax aspects of acquiring, holding
or disposing of Notes. The comments relate only to the position of persons who are absolute beneficial
owners of the Notes. The following is a general guide and should be treated with appropriate caution. It is
not intended as tax advice and it does not purport to describe all of the tax considerations that might be
relevant to a prospective purchaser. Noteholders who are in any doubt as to their tax position should
consult their professional advisers. Noteholders who may be liable to taxation in jurisdictions other than
the United Kingdom in respect of their acquisition, holding or disposal of the Notes are particularly advised
to consult their professional advisers as to whether they are so liable (and if so under the laws of which
jurisdictions), since the following comments relate only to certain United Kingdom taxation aspects of
payments in respect of the Notes. In particular, Noteholders should be aware that they may be liable to
taxation under the laws of other jurisdictions in relation to payments in respect of the Notes even if such
payments may be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of taxation under the laws of
the United Kingdom.
United Kingdom Withholding Tax on United Kingdom Source Interest
1.
Any Notes issued by the Issuer which carry a right to interest will constitute "quoted Eurobonds"
provided they are and continue to be listed on a recognised stock exchange (within the meaning of
section 1005 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (the "Act")) or admitted to trading on a "multilateral trading
facility" (within the meaning of section 987 of the Act). Whilst the Notes are and continue to be quoted
Eurobonds, payments of interest by the Issuer on the Notes may be made without withholding or
deduction for or on account of United Kingdom income tax.
The SIX Swiss Exchange is a recognised stock exchange. The Issuer's understanding of current HMRC
practice is that securities which are listed in accordance with the International Reporting Standard of
the SIX Swiss Exchange may be regarded as "listed on a recognised stock exchange" for these
purposes.
2.
In all cases falling outside the exemption described above, interest on the Notes may fall to be paid
under deduction of United Kingdom income tax at the basic rate (currently 20 per cent.) subject to such
relief as may be available.
Other Rules Relating to United Kingdom Withholding Tax
3.
Where interest has been paid under deduction of United Kingdom income tax, Noteholders who are
not resident in the United Kingdom may be able to recover all or part of the tax deducted if there is an
appropriate provision in any applicable double taxation treaty.
The references to "interest" above mean "interest" as understood in United Kingdom tax law. The
statements above do not take any account of any different definitions of "interest" or "principal" which
may prevail under any other law or which may be created by the terms and conditions of the Notes or
any related documentation. Where a payment on a Note does not constitute (or is not treated as) interest
for United Kingdom tax purposes, and the payment has a United Kingdom source, it would potentially
be subject to United Kingdom withholding tax if, for example, it constitutes (or is treated as) an annual
OC-9
227723-3-1-v3.0
70-40687840


payment or a manufactured payment for United Kingdom tax purposes (which will be determined by,
amongst other things, the terms and conditions specified by the Final Terms of the Note). In such a
case, the payment may fall to be made under deduction of United Kingdom tax (the rate of withholding
depending on the nature of the payment), subject to such relief as may be available.
The above description of the United Kingdom withholding tax position assumes that there will be no
substitution of the Issuer pursuant to Condition 19 (Meetings of Noteholders; Modification and Waiver;
Substitution) of the Notes or otherwise and does not consider the tax consequences of any such
substitution.
SWITZERLAND
General
The following discussion of taxation under the heading "Switzerland" in this section is only an indication
of certain tax implications currently in force under the laws of Switzerland as they may affect investors. It
applies only to persons who are beneficial owners of the Notes and may not apply to certain classes of
person. The summary contains general information only; it is not exhaustive and does not constitute legal
or tax advice and is based on taxation law and practice at the date of this Offering Circular. Potential
investors should be aware that tax law and interpretation, as well as the level and bases of taxation, may
change from those described and that changes may alter the benefits of investment in, holding or disposing
of, Notes. The Issuer makes no representations as to the completeness of the information nor undertakes
any liability of whatsoever nature for the tax implications for investors. Potential investors are strongly
advised to consult their own professional advisers on the implications of making an investment in, holding
or disposing of, Notes under the laws of the countries in which they are liable to taxation and in light of
their particular circumstances.
Swiss Federal Withholding Tax on Notes
At present, payments of interest on the Notes and repayment of principal on the Notes are not subject to
Swiss federal withholding tax, provided that the Issuer is at all times resident and managed outside of
Switzerland for Swiss tax purposes.
On 4 November 2015 the Swiss Federal Council announced a mandate to the Swiss Federal Finance
Department to constitute a group of experts tasked with the preparation of a new proposal for a reform of
the Swiss withholding tax system. The new proposal is expected to include (in respect of interest payments)
the replacement of the existing debtor-based regime by a paying agent-based regime for Swiss withholding
tax similar to the one published on 17 December 2014 by the Swiss Federal Council and repealed on 24
June 2015, following the negative outcome of the legislative consultation with Swiss official and private
bodies. Under such a new paying agent-based regime, if enacted, a paying agent in Switzerland may be
required to deduct Swiss withholding tax on any payments or any securing of payments of interest in respect
of a Note for the benefit of the beneficial owner of the payment, unless certain procedures are complied
with to establish that the owner of the Note is not an individual resident in Switzerland.
Swiss Issue Stamp Tax and Swiss Transfer Stamp Tax
The issue of the Notes and their sale and delivery on the Issue Date to their initial Noteholders is not subject
to Swiss federal securities issuance tax (Emissionsabgabe) and Swiss federal securities turnover tax
(Umsatzabgabe) (primary market).
The trading of Notes in the secondary market is subject to Swiss federal securities turnover tax at a rate of
0.15 per cent. of the consideration paid for the Notes traded, however, only if a Swiss securities dealer, as
defined in the Swiss Federal Stamp Tax Act (Bundesgesetz über die Stempelabgaben), is a party or an
intermediary to the transaction and no exemption applies. Where both the seller and the purchaser of the
Notes are not residents of Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein, no Swiss federal stamp securities
turnover tax will apply.
