STABILISATION
In connection with any Tranche of Covered Bonds, one or more Dealers may act as a

0072743-0000019 EUO1: 2003284024.8
- vi -

In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Covered Bonds, the Dealer or Dealers (if any)
named as the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising
Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Covered Bonds or effect
transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Covered Bonds at a level higher
than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there can be no assurance that the
Stabilising Manager(s) (or any person acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will
undertake stabilisation action. 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 Covered
Bonds is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier
of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Covered Bonds and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Covered Bonds. 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.
IMPORTANT - EEA RETAIL INVESTORS  If the Final Terms (or the Drawdown
Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled
"Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Covered Bonds 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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, the MiFID II); or (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 po int
(10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling
the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT - UK RETAIL INVESTORS  If the Final Terms (or the Drawdown
Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled
"Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Covered Bonds 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 United Kingdom (UK). For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of
Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal
Agreement) Act 2020) (EUWA); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the FSMA) and any rules or regulations made under
the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 600/2014 as
it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by
virtue of the EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Covered Bonds or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor
in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms (or the Drawdown
Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Covered Bonds will include a legend entitled
"MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of

0072743-0000019 EUO1: 2003284024.8
- vii -

the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate.
Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending such Covered Bonds (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 Covered Bonds (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 product governance rules under EU
Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any Dealer
subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but
otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market  The Final Terms (or the Drawdown
Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Covered Bonds will include a legend entitled
"UK MiFIR Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect
of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are
appropriate. Any distributor (as defined above) should take into consideration the target
market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR product governance rules
set out in 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 Covered Bonds (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 Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such
Covered Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective
affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
Suitability of Covered Bonds as investments The Covered Bonds may not be a suitable
investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Covered Bonds must determine the
suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential
investor should:
(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the
Covered Bonds, the merits and risks of investing in the Covered Bonds and the
information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any
applicable supplement;
(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the
context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Covered Bonds and the
impact the Covered Bonds will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment
in the Covered Bonds, including Covered Bonds with principal or interest payable in
one or more currencies, or where the currency for principal or interest payments is
different from the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
thoroughly understand the terms of the Covered Bonds and be familiar with the
behaviour of any relevant indices and financial markets; and

0072743-0000019 EUO1: 2003284024.8
- viii -

(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible
scenarios of economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and
its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Some Covered Bonds are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors
generally do not purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments. They
purchase complex financial instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield as an
understood, measured, appropriate addition of risk to their overall portfolios. A potential
investor should not invest in Covered Bonds which are complex financial instruments unless it
has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Covered Bonds
will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Covered Bonds
and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
