Registered Notes may be initial y placed in the U.S. to persons reasonably believed to be Qualified Institutional Buyers ("QIBs") within the meaning
of Rule 144A. Upon an initial placement of Registered Notes in the U.S., QIBs will receive delivery of interests in the Registered Notes through the
facilities of DTC. Subsequent transfers of interests in Registered Notes held through DTC may only be made to QIBs or pursuant to Rule 144, Rule
904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S") or an effective registration statement, in each case under the Securities Act. Transfers
pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S of Registered Notes held through DTC will set le in Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or CDS through the
applicable global Registered Note in each such clearing system outside the U.S. QIBs may transfer interests in Registered Notes to QIBs through the
facilities of DTC.
Beneficial interests in a permanent global Bearer Note or in a permanent global Registered Note will be exchangeable for definitive Bearer Notes or
definitive Registered Notes, respectively, only in the limited circumstances described under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Definitive
Certificates".

IMPORTANT NOTICES
The Issuer has prepared this Offering Circular for the purposes of giving information with regard to the
Programme, the Notes to be issued thereunder and itself as the issuer of such Notes.
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Offering Circular and the
applicable Pricing Supplement for each Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme. To the best of
the knowledge and belief of the Issuer, the information contained in this Offering Circular is in
accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect the import of such information.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET
The Pricing Supplement in respect of the Notes may include a legend entitled "MIFID II PRODUCT
GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET" which wil outline the target market assessment in respect of the
Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target
market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID I is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Notes (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 Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product
Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for a Tranche of Notes is a manufacturer in respect of
such Notes, 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.
IMPORTANT EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "PRIIPS REGULATION
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND UK 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 (the "EEA") or in the United Kingdom
(the "UK"). 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; (i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive
(EU) 2016/97, (as amended) where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID I ; or (i i) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus
Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling those Notes or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing
those Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
