Concurrent Offering Substantially concurrently with this offering, the Issuer intends to offer dollar-denominated notes (the “concurrent offering”). The concurrent offering is being made by means of a separate prospectus supplement and not by means of the prospectus supplement to which this pricing term sheet relates. This communication is not an offer of any securities of the Issuer other than the notes to which this pricing term sheet relates. The concurrent offering may not be completed, and the completion of the concurrent offering is not a condition to the completion of the offering of the notes to which this pricing term sheet relates.

 

*Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

 

**We expect that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on or about February 9, 2022, which will be the fifth business day following the date of this final term sheet (such settlement being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next two succeeding business days should consult their advisors.

 

The notes will be represented by beneficial interests in fully registered permanent global notes (the “international global notes”) without interest coupons attached, which will be registered in the name of, and shall be deposited on or about February 9, 2022 with a common depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Euroclear Bank, SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream").
