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 Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); or (ii) 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 II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market – Solely for the purposes of the 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 notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in 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 (an “EU distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturer’s target market assessment; however, an EU 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 manufacturer’s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

This section describes certain selected risk factors relating to the notes.  Please see “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus for a complete list of risk factors relating to the notes.

 On or before the respective redemption date, we will deposit with the trustee money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the notes to be redeemed on that date.  If such money is so deposited, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on such notes (unless we default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) and such notes will cease to be outstanding.
For information regarding notices of redemption, see “Description of Debt Securities—Redemption and Repurchase of Debt Securities—Notice of Redemption” in the accompanying prospectus.
The notes do not contain any provisions affording the holders the right to require us to purchase the notes after the occurrence of any change in control event affecting us.

United States Federal Taxation
Tax Considerations for the floating rate notes due 2027
In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the floating rate notes due 2027 should be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” denominated in a currency (the “denomination currency”) other than the U.S. dollar for U.S. federal tax purposes, and will therefore be subject to special rules under Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury regulations thereunder.  See the discussions in the sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders― Foreign Currency Notes” and “― Floating Rate Notes—General” for further information about the treatment of the floating rate notes due 2027.
Tax Considerations for the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030
In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030 should be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” denominated in a currency (the “denomination currency”) other than the U.S. dollar for U.S. federal tax purposes, and should therefore be subject to special rules under Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. See the discussion in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders― Foreign Currency Notes” for further information about the treatment of the notes. Although there is uncertainty regarding their treatment (and subject to the discussion below regarding deemed exercise of our optional redemption right), the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030 should be treated as providing for a single fixed rate followed by a single qualified floating rate (“QFR”), as described in the sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders― Floating Rate Notes―General” and “―Floating Rate Notes that Provide for Multiple Rates.” Under this treatment, in order to determine the amount of qualified stated interest (“QSI”) and original issue discount (“OID”) in respect of the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030, an equivalent fixed rate debt instrument (denominated in euro) must be constructed for the entire term of the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030. The equivalent fixed rate debt instrument is constructed in the following manner: (i) first, the initial fixed rate is converted to a QFR that would preserve the fair market value of the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030, and (ii) second, each QFR (including the QFR determined under (i) above) is converted to a fixed rate substitute (which should generally be the value of that QFR as of the issue date of the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030). Under Treasury Regulations applicable to certain options arising under the terms of a debt instrument, in determining the amount of QSI and OID, we should be deemed to exercise our optional redemption right if doing so would reduce the yield on the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument. For the purpose of determining QSI and OID, the optional make-whole redemption should not be deemed to be exercised. However, if, as of the issue date, redeeming the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030 on March 21, 2029 would reduce the yield of the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument, the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030 should be treated as fixed rate debt instruments maturing on March 21, 2029 (the “instrument maturing March 2029”). Under those circumstances, if the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030 are not actually redeemed by us on March 21, 2029, solely for purposes of the OID rules, they should be deemed retired and reissued for their principal amount, and should thereafter be treated as floating rate debt instruments with a term of one year (the “1-year instrument”). The instrument maturing March 2029 would be treated as issued without OID, and all payments of interest thereon would be treated as QSI. Interest on the 1-year instrument should generally be taken into account when received or accrued, according to your method of tax accounting, but it is possible that the 1-year instrument could be subject to the rules described under “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders―Short-Term Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
If, as of the issue date, redeeming the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030 on March 21, 2029 would not reduce the yield on the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument, the rules under “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders― Discount Notes―General” should be applied to the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument to determine the amounts of QSI and OID on the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030. Under those circumstances, the fixed/floating rate notes due 2030 may be issued with OID.
A U.S. holder is required to include any QSI in income in accordance with the U.S. holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. holders will be required to include any OID in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield method based on a compounding of interest.  All amounts will be determined in the denomination currency and then translated into U.S. dollars according to the rules described in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Foreign Currency Notes.” QSI allocable to an accrual period must be increased (or decreased) by the amount, if any, which the interest

PS-10

actually accrued or paid during an accrual period (including the fixed rate payments made during the initial period) exceeds (or is less than) the interest assumed to be accrued or paid during the accrual period under the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument.
Tax Considerations for the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035
In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035 should be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” denominated in a currency (the “denomination currency”) other than the U.S. dollar for U.S. federal tax purposes, and should therefore be subject to special rules under Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. See the discussion in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders― Foreign Currency Notes” for further information about the treatment of the notes.

The equivalent fixed rate debt instrument is constructed in the following manner: (i) first, the initial fixed rate is converted to a QFR that would preserve the fair market value of the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035, and (ii) second, each QFR (including the QFR determined under (i) above) is converted to a fixed rate substitute (which should generally be the value of that QFR as of the issue date of the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035). Under Treasury Regulations applicable to certain options arising under the terms of a debt instrument, in determining the amount of QSI and OID, we should be deemed to exercise our optional redemption right if doing so would reduce the yield on the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument. For the purpose of determining QSI and OID, the optional make-whole redemption should not be deemed to be exercised. However, if, as of the issue date, redeeming the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035 on March 21, 2034 would reduce the yield of the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument, the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035 should be treated as fixed rate debt instruments maturing on March 21, 2034 (the “instrument maturing March 2034”). Under those circumstances, if the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035 are not actually redeemed by us on March 21, 2034, solely for purposes of the OID rules, they should be deemed retired and reissued for their principal amount, and should thereafter be treated as floating rate debt instruments with a term of one year (the “1-year instrument”). The instrument maturing March 2034 would be treated as issued without OID, and all payments of interest thereon would be treated as QSI. Interest on the 1-year instrument should generally be taken into account when received or accrued, according to your method of tax accounting, but it is possible that the 1-year instrument could be subject to the rules described under “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders―Short-Term Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
If, as of the issue date, redeeming the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035 on March 21, 2034 would not reduce the yield on the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument, the rules under “United States Federal Taxation―Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders― Discount Notes―General” should be applied to the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument to determine the amounts of QSI and OID on the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035. Under those circumstances, the fixed/floating rate notes due 2035 may be issued with OID.
A U.S. holder is required to include any QSI in income in accordance with the U.S. holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. holders will be required to include any OID in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield method based on a compounding of interest.  All amounts will be determined in the denomination currency and then translated into U.S. dollars according to the rules described in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Foreign Currency Notes.” QSI allocable to an accrual period must be increased (or decreased) by the amount, if any, which the interest actually accrued or paid during an accrual period (including the fixed rate payments made during the initial period) exceeds (or is less than) the interest assumed to be accrued or paid during the accrual period under the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument.
Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders of the notes should read the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “United States Federal Taxation.”
You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
The discussion in the preceding paragraphs under “United States Federal Taxation,” and the discussion contained in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement, insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes.
