MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ELIGIBLE
COUNTERPARTIES 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 Notes 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.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA RETAIL INVESTORS The Notes
are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("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; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, as amended,
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 Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended
(the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 (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.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UNITED KINGDOM RETAIL INVESTORS The Notes are not
intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor
means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation
(EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act
2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000, as amended ("FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement
Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point
(8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of UK
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation
(EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO CONSUMERS IN BELGIUM Notes issued under the Programme are
not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to, "consumers" (consument/consommateur) within the meaning of the Belgian Code of
Economic Law (Wetboek van economisch recht/Code de droit économique), as amended.
