Guarantor and will at all times rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves. In the event of the Guarantor being declared in insolvency under Spanish insolvency law, the rights
and claims of Holders (as defined in the Conditions) against the Guarantor in respect of or arising under the Guarantee will rank, as against the other obligations of the Guarantor, in the manner
more particularly described in "Terms and Conditions of the Securities Guarantee, Status and Subordination of the Guarantee".

Unless otherwise specified or the context requires, references to "dollars", "U.S. dollars" and "U.S.$" are to

as amended.
In connection with the issue of the Securities, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and J.P.
Morgan Securities plc (together, the "Stabilising Managers") (or any person acting on behalf of the
Stabilising Managers) may over-allot Securities or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However,
stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Securities is made and, if begun, may cease at
3

any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the Securities and 60
days after the date of the allotment of the Securities. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be
conducted by the Stabilising Managers (or any person(s) acting on behalf of the Stabilising Managers) in
accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
MIFID II product governance/Professional investors and ECPs only target market Solely for the purposes of
each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Securities has led
to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Securities is eligible counterparties and professional clients
only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Securities to eligible counterparties
and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the
Securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in
respect of the Securities (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
PRIIPs Regulation/Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors The Securities 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 MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning
of Directive 2002/92/EC, as amended or superseded, where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (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 Securities
or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful
under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Amounts payable under the Securities are calculated by reference to the 5 year Swap Rate which itself refers to
ICESWAP2, which is provided by the ICE Benchmark Administration ("IBA") and the Euro Interbank Offered
Rate ("EURIBOR"), which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute ("EMMI"). As at the date of
this Offering Circular, the IBA does appear and the EMMI does not appear on the register of administrators and
benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority pursuant to article
36 of the Benchmark Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) (the "BMR"). As far as the Issuer is aware, the
transitional provisions in Article 51 of the BMR apply, such that the EMMI is not currently required to obtain
authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or
equivalence).
