1  It is expected that delivery of the bonds will be made upon instruction of the Lead Managers against payment on or about the Closing Date, which will be the fourth business day following the Date of Pricing of the bonds (such settlement being referred to as “T+4”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the U.S. 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 bonds prior to the delivery of the bonds hereunder may be required, by virtue of the fact that the bonds will initially settle in T+4, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.  Purchasers of the bonds who wish to trade the bonds prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.

The Lead Managers acting in their capacity as manufacturers of the bonds in the meaning of Directive 2014/65/EU and implementing legislation (as amended, “MiFID II”) hereby inform prospective distributors for the purpose of the product governance rules under MiFID II that the target market assessment made by the Lead Managers in respect of the bonds in accordance with the product governance rules under MiFID II has led the Lead Managers to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the bonds is eligible counterparties, professional clients and retail clients each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the bonds are appropriate. Any distributor should take into consideration the Lead Managers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the bonds (by either adopting or refining the Lead Managers’ target market assessment), determining appropriate distribution channels and performing the suitability and appropriateness assessment with respect to each client.
