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 Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (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 Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

This document is directed only at persons in member states of the European Economic Area, who are “qualified investors” within the meaning of Article 2(1)(e) of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended or superseded (the “Prospectus Directive”). In accordance with the Prospectus Directive, no prospectus is required in connection with the transfer of the securities described in this document. Further, this document is being distributed only to and is directed only at persons in the United Kingdom who are (i) investment professionals falling within Article 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the “FPO”), or (ii) high net worth entities falling within Article 49 of the FPO. The securities to which this document relates are available only to, and any agreement to acquire such securities, will be made only with, such persons. Any other person should not act or rely on this document or any of its contents. Stabilization: FCA/ICMA.


The bonds may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, will not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the 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; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the IMD, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive. Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
