ii

NOTICE TO CERTAIN EUROPEAN INVESTORS
Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area
This Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that all offers of the Notes will be made pursuant to an
exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to produce a prospectus in connection
with offers of the Notes and is thus, for the purposes of the offering of the Notes, not a prospectus
within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make
any offer within the EEA of the Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this
Prospectus should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or the
Managers to produce a prospectus for such offers. None of the Issuer or the Managers has authorized,
nor does it or do they authorize, the making of any offer of the Notes through any financial
intermediary other than offers made by the Managers which constitute the final placement of the Notes
contemplated in this Prospectus.
Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
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 2002/92/EC (as amended, the "Insurance Mediation Directive") or 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 Notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS
Regulation.

only to persons who (a) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within
Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as
amended, the "Financial Promotion Order"), (b) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d)
("high net worth companies", "unincorporated associations", etc.) of the Financial Promotion Order,
(c) are outside the United Kingdom, or (d) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage
in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act
2000 ("FSMA") in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes may otherwise lawfully be
communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant
persons"). This Prospectus is directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on
by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this

offered to the public in the United Kingdom.

iii

of Article L.41 1-1 of the Code Monetaire et Financier and therefore has not been approved by,
registered or filed with the (French Financial Market Authority (Autorité des Marchés Financiers).
Consequently, the Notes are not being offered, directly or indirectly, to the public in France and this
Prospectus has not been and will not be released, issued or distributed or caused to be released, issued
or distributed to the public in France or used in connection with any offer for subscription or sale of
the Notes to the public in France.

accordance with articles L.41 1-2 and D. 411-1 to D. 411-4 of the French Code Monétaire et
Financier.

iv

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is any statement
that does not relate to historical facts or events or to facts or events as of the date of this Prospectus.
This applies, in particular, to statements in this Prospectus containing information on future earnings
capacity, plans and expectations regarding our business growth and profitability, and the general
economic conditions to which we are exposed. Statements made using words such as "predicts,"
"forecasts," "plans," "endeavors" or "expects" may be an indication of forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are subject to risks and uncertainties, as they relate
to future events, and are based on estimates and assessments made to the best of the Issuer's present
knowledge. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions, uncertainties and other
factors, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which could cause the Issuer's actual results, including
the financial condition and profitability of the Group, to differ materially from or fail to meet the
expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These expressions can be found
in several sections in this Prospectus, particularly in the sections entitled "Risk Factors",
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Market
Overview and Competition", "Business" and "Recent Developments and Outlook", and wherever
information is contained in this Prospectus regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations
relating to its future financial condition and results of operations, plans, liquidity, business outlook,
growth, strategy and profitability, as well as the economic and regulatory environment to which we are
subject.
In light of these uncertainties and assumptions, it is also possible that the future events mentioned in
this Prospectus might not occur. In addition, the forward-looking estimates and forecasts reproduced in
this Prospectus from third-party reports could prove to be inaccurate (see "Sources of Market Data"
for more information on the third-party sources used in this Prospectus). Actual results, performance
or events may differ materially from those in such statements.
Moreover, it should be noted that we do not assume any obligation, except as required by law, to
update any forward-looking statement or to conform any such statement to actual events or
developments. In addition, the Issuer does not assume any obligation and does not intend, except as
required by law, to update any forward-looking statements or to conform these forward-looking
statements to actual events or developments.
See "Risk Factors" for a further description of some of the factors that could influence the Issuer's
forward-looking statements.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial information of the Group as of and for the financial years ended
31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 presented in the text and in tables in this Prospectus has been taken
or derived from the Issuer's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the financial years
ended 31 December 2015, 31 December 2016 (including comparative figures as of and for the
financial year ended 31 December 2015, to the extent such comparative figures have been adjusted in
the Issuer's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the financial years ended 31
December 2016) and 31 December 2017 (including comparative figures as of and for the financial year
ended 31 December 2016, to the extent such comparative figures have been adjusted in the Issuer's
audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the financial year ended 31 December 2017)
(together, the "Audited Consolidated Financial Statements") as well as the Issuer's accounting
records or its management reporting, except as otherwise noted. The Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").
Where financial information in tables in this Prospectus is labelled "audited," this means that it has
been taken from the audited consolidated financial statements mentioned above. The label "unaudited"
is used in the following tables to indicate financial information that has not been taken from the
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements but rather was derived from the Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements, or taken or derived from the Issuer's accounting records or its management
reporting, or has been calculated based on figures from the sources mentioned before. Financial
information presented in the text and the tables in this Prospectus are shown in thousands of EUR (in
EUR '000) except as otherwise stated. Certain financial information (including percentages) in this
Prospectus have been rounded according to established commercial standards, whereby aggregate
amounts (sum totals, sub-totals, differences or amounts put in relation) are calculated based on the
underlying unrounded amounts. As a result, the aggregate amounts may not correspond in all cases to
the corresponding aggregated amounts of the underlying (rounded) figures appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Furthermore, these rounded figures may not add up exactly to the totals. Financial
information presented in parentheses denotes the negative of such number presented. In respect of
financial information set out in this Prospectus, a dash ("") signifies that the relevant figure is not
available, while a zero ("0") signifies that the relevant figure is available, but has been rounded to or
equals zero.
