admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s) or market(s) as may be agreed
between the Issuer, the relevant Issuing and Paying Agent and the relevant Dealer. References in this Information
Memorandum to NEU CP being listed shall be construed accordingly. The regulated market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange is a regulated market for the purposes of the Directive on Markets in Financial Instruments (Directive
2014/65/EU). The Issuer may also issue unlisted NEU CP and/or NEU CP not admitted to trading on any market.
This Information Memorandum does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of Article 6 of Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 (the "Prospectus Regulation").

Information Memorandum and any information or representation not contained therein must not be relied upon as
having been authorized.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The Issuer has obtained all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations in connection with the issue and
performance of the NEU CP. The issue of the NEU CP by the Issuer has been authorized under the terms of the
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer dated 31 March 2021.
2. Save as disclosed in this Information Memorandum, there has not been any material adverse change in the
financial statements and prospects of the Issuer since 31 December 2020.

MiFID II product governance/Target market  Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer['s] product approval
process, the target market assessment in respect of the NEU CP has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market
for the NEU CP 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 NEU CP to eligible counterparties and professional
clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the NEU CP (a "distributor")
should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID
II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the NEU CP (by either adopting or
refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

allow the offering to the public of the NEU CP or the
possession or distribution of this Information Memorandum or
any other document related to the NEU CP in any country or
jurisdiction where such offer or the distribution of any such

regulations in force, and shall not offer or sell, whether directly
or indirectly, the NEU CP other than in compliance with such
laws and regulations in force in any such country or
jurisdiction.
Each of the Issuer, the Dealers, the other initial subscribers
and the subsequent holders, if any, agree, or shall be deemed

Tax as amended and Law 29/1987, of 18 December 1987 on
Inheritance and Gift Tax as amended;
(c) for legal entities resident for tax purposes in Spain
which are corporate income tax ("Corporate Income Tax")
taxpayers, Law 27/2014, of 27 November, of the Corporate
Income Tax Law as amended and Royal Decree 634/2015, of
10 July promulgating the Corporate Income Tax Regulations
(the "Corporate Income Tax Regulations"); and
(d) for individuals and legal entities who are not resident

Consolidated Text of the Non-Resident Income Tax Law as

Whatever the nature and residence of the holder of a
beneficial interest in the NEU CP (each, a "Beneficial
Owner"), the acquisition and transfer of the NEU CP will be
exempt from indirect taxes in Spain, for example exempt from
transfer tax and stamp duty, in accordance with the
consolidated text of such tax promulgated by Royal
Legislative Decree 1/1993, of 24 September 1993, and

8

exempt from value added tax, in accordance with Law
37/1992, of 28 December 1992 regulating such tax.
INDIVIDUALS WITH TAX RESIDENCY IN SPAIN
Personal Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de las
Personas Físicas)
Both interest periodically received and income deriving from
the transfer, redemption or repayment of the NEU CP would
constitute a return on investment obtained from the transfer of
own capital to third parties in accordance with the provisions
of Section 25.2 of the Personal Income Tax Law, and should
be included in each investor's taxable savings and taxed at
the tax rate applicable from time to time, currently at the rate
of 19 per cent. for taxable income up to 6,000, 21 per cent.
for taxable income between 6,000.01 and 50,000; 23% for
taxable income between 50,000.01 and 200,000; and 26%
for taxable income exceeding 200,000.
As a general rule, both types of income are subject to a
withholding tax on account at the rate of 19 per cent. .
However, if the NEU CP is registered with a clearing system
outside of Spain, according to Section 44.5 of Royal Decree
1065/2007, of 27 July, the Issuer will make interest payments
to individual holders who are resident for tax purposes in
Spain without withholding provided that the relevant
information about the NEU CP is submitted. In addition,
income obtained upon transfer, redemption or repayment of
the Notes may also be paid free of Spanish withholding tax in
certain circumstances.
Notwithstanding the above, withholding tax at the applicable
rate of 19 per cent. may have to be deducted by other entities
(such as depositaries, institutions or financial entities)
provided that such entities are resident for tax purposes in
Spain or have a permanent establishment in Spanish territory.
In any event, individual holders may credit the withholding
against their Personal Income Tax liability for the relevant
fiscal year and may be refundable pursuant to Section 103 of
the Personal Income Tax Law.
Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)
Individuals with tax residency in Spain are subject to Wealth
Tax to the extent that their net worth exceeds 700,000
(subject to any exceptions provided under relevant legislation
in an autonomous region (Comunidad Autónoma). Therefore,
they should take into account the average trading value of the
last quarter of the year regarding the NEU CP which they hold
as at 31 December in each year, the applicable rates ranging
between 0.2 per cent. and 3.5 per cent (subject to any different
rate provided under relevant legislation in each Spanish
autonomous region (Comunidad Autónoma).
Inheritance and Gift Tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y
Donaciones)
Individuals with tax residency in Spain who acquire ownership
or other rights over any NEU CP by inheritance, gift or legacy
will be subject to inheritance and gift tax in accordance with
the applicable Spanish regional or federal rules. As at the date
of this Information Memorandum, the applicable tax rates
currently range between 7.65 per cent. and 34 per cent.
Relevant factors applied (such as previous net wealth or
relationship among transferor and transferee) determine the
final effective tax rate that range, as of the date of this

9

Information Memorandum, between 0 per cent. and 81.6 per
cent.
LEGAL ENTITIES WITH TAX RESIDENCY IN SPAIN
Corporate Income Tax (Impuesto sobre Sociedades)
Both interest periodically received and payments of income
deriving from the transfer, redemption or repayment of the
NEU CP constitute a return on investments for tax purposes
obtained from the transfer to third parties of own capital and
would have to be included in profit and taxable income of legal
entities with tax residency in Spain for Corporate Income Tax
purposes in accordance with the rules for Corporate Income
Tax and subject to the general rate of 25 per cent. . Special
rates apply in respect of certain types of entities.
In accordance with Section 44.5 of Royal Decree 1065/2007,
of 27 July, there is no obligation to withhold on income payable
to Spanish CIT taxpayers (which for the sake of clarity, include
Spanish tax resident investment funds and Spanish tax
resident pension funds). Consequently, the Issuer will not
withhold on interest payments to Spanish CIT taxpayers
provided that the relevant information about the NEU CP is
submitted. However, in the case of the NEU CP held by
Spanish resident entities and deposited with a Spanish
resident entity acting as a depositary or custodian payments
of interest under the NEU CP may be subject to withholding
tax at the applicable rate of 19 per cent. if the NEU CP do not
comply with the relevant exemption requirements specified in
letter s) of article 61 of the CIT Regulations, as interpreted by
the ruling nº 1500/2004 issued by the Spanish General
Directorate for Taxes (Dirección General de Tributos) dated
27 July 2004, which requires that (i) the Notes are offered and
sold outside of Spain, in other OECD jurisdiction, and (ii) the
Notes are admitted to trading in an organised market of a
OECD jurisdiction other than Spain.
Notwithstanding the above, amounts withheld, if any, may be
credited by the relevant investors against their final CIT
liability.
Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)
Spanish resident legal entities are not subject to Wealth Tax.
Inheritance and Gift Tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y
Donaciones)
Legal entities tax resident in Spain which acquire ownership
or other rights over the NEU CP by inheritance, gift or legacy
are not subject to inheritance and gift tax and must include the
value of the NEU CP in accordance with Spanish GAAP in
their taxable income for Spanish Corporate Income Tax
purposes.
INDIVIDUALS AND LEGAL ENTITIES WITH NO TAX
RESIDENCY IN SPAIN
Non-Resident Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de No
Residentes)
(1) Non-Spanish resident investors acting through a
permanent establishment in Spain.
Ownership of the NEU CP by investors who are not resident
for tax purposes in Spain will not in itself create the existence
of a permanent establishment in Spain.
If the NEU CP form part of the assets of a permanent
establishment in Spain of a person or legal entity who is not

10
