PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Bonds 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 EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or both) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive (EU) No 2014/65 (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) No 2016/97 dated 20 January 2016 on insurance distribution, as amended (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. No key information document under Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 is available.
MiFID II product governance / target market – The prospectus for the Bonds contains a legend entitled “MiFID II product governance / professional investors and eligible counterparties only target market” describing the target market assessment with respect to the Bonds and the appropriate distribution channels for the Bonds. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a “Distributor”) must consider the target market assessment; a Distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for conducting its own target market assessment with respect to the Bonds (by adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
This investment restriction is in addition to the other investment restrictions applicable in each Relevant State.
United Kingdom. This press release is intended only for persons who (i) are located outside of the United Kingdom, (ii) have professional experience in matters relating to investments and are “investment professionals” within the meaning of section 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the “Order”), (iii) are referred to in section 49(2) (a) to (d) (high-equity companies, non-registered associations, etc.) of the Order, or (iv) are otherwise persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be communicated (the persons referred to in paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) together being referred to as the “Authorised Persons”).

The Bonds will not be “admitted to trading” on a “regulated market” in the UK within the meaning of the Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market sourcebook (“PRM”) and, accordingly, no document will be required to be published as a prospectus in accordance with the PRM. This press release does not constitute a prospectus for the purpose of the PRM and has not been approved by the Financial Conduct Authority or any other regulatory authority in the United Kingdom.
The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom.

Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook (“DISC”) for offering, selling or distributing the Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.
