MiFID II product governance / target market
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Program Securities may include a legend entitled "MiFID II
Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities
and which channels for distribution of the Program Securities are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Program Securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the

target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities (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 EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any

Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities

offering, selling or recommending the Program Securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to 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 Program Securities (by either adopting or
refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
iii



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 Program Securities is a manufacturer in respect of such
Program Securities, but otherwise neither dealer(s) nor any of its respective affiliates will be a manufacturer
for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
Benchmarks Regulation

Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Program Securities may be calculated by reference to certain
reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of Regulation (EU)
2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on indices used as benchmarks in financial
instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds (the "Benchmarks
Regulation") and the Benchmarks Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the
"UK Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference rate does constitute such a benchmark, the Pricing
Supplement will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register
of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets
Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 (Register of administrators and benchmarks) of the Benchmarks
Regulation and whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register of
administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct
Authority ("FCA") pursuant to Article 36 (Register of administrators and benchmarks) of the UK Benchmarks
Regulation. Transitional provisions in the Benchmarks Regulation and the UK Benchmarks Regulation may
have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear in the relevant register
of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the Pricing Supplement. The registration status of any
administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation and the UK Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public
record and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the Pricing Supplement
to reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.

Offering restrictions in Switzerland
This Offering Circular has been approved in Switzerland by SIX Exchange Regulation in its capacity as Swiss
Prospectus Office within the meaning of FinSA. If and to the extent the Program Securities will be publicly
offered, directly or indirectly, in Switzerland within the meaning of the FinSA or if the Program Securities
shall be admitted to trading on a Swiss trading venue within the meaning of the Swiss Federal Financial Market
Infrastructure Act of 19 June 2015 ("FMIA"), e.g. SIX Swiss Exchange AG (the "SIX Swiss Exchange"), a
prospectus pursuant to the requirements of article 40 et seq. FinSA is required (the Program Securities not
falling into the scope of the requirement to be issued under a prospectus in the sense of the FinSA are
hereinafter referred to as the "FinSA Exempt Program Securities"). Such requirement will be met by an
issuance under (i) a Pricing Supplement prepared on the basis of the pro forma Pricing Supplement in this
Offering Circular that does not specify the Program Securities as FinSA Exempt Program Securities and (ii)
depositing the relevant Pricing Supplement as soon as it is in final form and, in any case, prior to any public
offering in Switzerland or admission to trading in Switzerland of such Program Securities with a Swiss
Prospectus Office in accordance with the requirements of FinSA. The Program Securities other than FinSA
Exempt Program Securities may be publicly offered on the basis of this Offering Circular and the Pricing
Supplement pertaining to the Program Securities in Switzerland in accordance with the requirements of the
FinSA.
As regards FinSA Exempt Program Securities, neither this Offering Circular nor any other offering or
marketing material relating to the Securities constitutes a prospectus pursuant to the FinSA, and neither this

publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland, unless the requirements of FinSA

who owns, directly or indirectly, eligible financial assets of at least CHF 500,000, or (ii) that he/she/it owns,
directly or indirectly, eligible financial assets of at least CHF 2 million.

Supplement pertaining to the Program Securities is registered with SIX Exchange Regulation in its capacity
as Swiss Prospectus Office pursuant to FinSA as soon as in final form and in any case prior to any public
offering in Switzerland or admission to trading in Switzerland of such Securities in accordance with the
requirements of FinSA. Furthermore, the Program Securities may only be offered to Retail Clients in
vi

relating to the Securities (a "FinSA-KID") or a key information document pursuant to the PRIIPs Regulation

State of Program Securities which are the subject of an offering contemplated in this Offering Circular as
completed by a Pricing Supplement in relation to the offer of those Program Securities may only do so in
circumstances in which no obligation arises for the relevant Issuer or MSI plc, which may act in whole or in
part through an affiliate thereof, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as distribution agents (the "Distribution

circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer to publish a prospectus in the EEA, in the UK or in
any other jurisdiction.

None of the Issuers, the Guarantor or the Distribution Agents consents to the use of this Offering Circular (or
any supplement thereto or any Pricing Supplement) by any financial intermediary or any other person for the
purpose of making a public offering of the Program Securities in the EEA or in the UK, and none of the
Issuers, the Guarantor or the Distribution Agents accepts any responsibility for the content of this Offering
Circular to any person with respect to the making of a public offering of the Program Securities by any

such offer. The Issuers, the Guarantor and the Distribution Agents agree and acknowledge that this Offering
Circular may only be used for the purposes for which it has been published, as described further herein.

Act"), nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.
