MIFID II product governance / 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 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.

IMPORTANT – EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The notes are not intended 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 2002/92/EC (as amended, IMD), 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.

Purpose of this Supplement

The purpose of this Supplement is to set out changes resulting from updates in the S&P swap counterparty criteria in respect of certain Issuer Swaps.

The date of this supplement is 18 April 2019

The Amendments

The following amendments are being made to the Base Prospectus to reflect certain updates to the S&P swap counterparty criteria.

1. Amendments to "Triggers Tables—Rating Triggers Table" in the Base Prospectus

The section titled "The issuer swap provider" under "Triggers Tables—Rating Triggers Table" is updated in respect of the S&P requirements applicable to the issuer swaps as follows:

Required Ratings/Triggers Possible effects of Trigger being breached include the following

S&P Required Ratings

In respect of issuer swaps corresponding to notes issued prior to 1 April 2019 (the Pre-2019 issuer swaps), for so long as the notes corresponding to the relevant issuer swap are rated by S&P, the S&P required ratings and the corresponding possible effects of the relevant trigger being breached which are set out under "Funding 1 swap provider" apply with respect to the Pre-2019 issuer swaps as though:

  • (i) each reference therein to "S&P relevant notes" were a reference to the notes corresponding to the relevant Pre-2019 issuer swap;
  • (ii) each reference therein to "the Funding 1 swap provider" were a reference to "the issuer swap provider";
  • (iii) each reference therein to "the Funding 1 fixed rate swap" were a reference to "the issuer swap"; and
  • (iv) each reference therein to "Funding 1" were a reference to "the issuer".

In respect of issuer swaps corresponding to notes issued after 1 April 2019 (the 2019 onwards issuer swaps), for so long as the notes corresponding to the relevant issuer swap are rated by S&P, the S&P required ratings and the corresponding possible effects of the relevant trigger being breached are set out below, as though each reference therein to S&P relevant notes were a reference to the notes corresponding to the relevant 2019 onwards issuer swap.

The relevant S&P required ratings depend on which S&P framework is elected by the issuer swap provider from time to time (the S&P framework) and the rating of the notes corresponding to the relevant 2019 onwards issuer swap. There are four S&P frameworks; Strong, Adequate, Moderate and Weak.

Following the loss of any S&P required rating, during the relevant period, the issuer swap provider may, in addition to each of the remedies set out below, elect to change the S&P framework in order to cure the breach of the ratings trigger (i.e. where the issuer swap provider has the required ratings under another S&P framework but does not have the required ratings under the S&P framework currently in effect).

S&P required ratings: The S&P required ratings with respect to 2019 onwards issuer swaps are set out in the tables below.

The issuer swap provider or any relevant guarantor will have the relevant S&P required rating if its issuer credit rating or its resolution counterparty rating assigned by S&P is at least as high as the applicable S&P required rating corresponding to the then current rating of the relevant notes and the applicable S&P framework as specified in the above table.

In respect of a 2019 onwards issuer swap, the issuer swap provider and any applicable guarantor fails to have any S&P initial required rating where S&P framework Strong, Adequate or Moderate applies.

In respect of a 2019 onwards issuer swap, the issuer swap provider and any applicable guarantor fails to have any S&P subsequent required rating where S&P framework Strong, Adequate or Moderate applies.

The issuer swap provider must provide collateral within 10 business days (to the extent required depending on the value of the issuer swap) unless it (i) transfers its obligations to an entity that is eligible to be a swap provider under the S&P ratings criteria, (ii) obtains a guarantee from an entity with the S&P subsequent required ratings, or (iii) takes such other action as is required to maintain, or restore, the rating of the notes corresponding to the relevant issuer swap.

The issuer may terminate the relevant issuer swap if the issuer swap provider fails to provide collateral in respect of the issuer swap in the relevant time period (to the extent the issuer swap provider is required to do so).

The issuer swap provider must use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within 90 calendar days, either (i) transfer its rights and obligations to an entity that is eligible to be a swap provider under the S&P ratings criteria, (ii) obtain a guarantee from an entity with at least

the S&P subsequent required ratings, or (iii) take such other action as is required to maintain, or restore, the rating of the notes corresponding to the relevant issuer swap.

Whilst this process is on-going, the issuer swap provider must also provide collateral within 10 business days (to the extent required depending on the value of the issuer swap).

The issuer may terminate the relevant issuer swap if the issuer swap provider fails to provide collateral in respect of the issuer swap in the relevant time period (to the extent the issuer swap provider is required to do so). The issuer may also terminate the relevant issuer swap if the issuer swap provider either fails to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take the relevant actions or the relevant time period has expired.

In respect of a 2019 onwards swaps, the issuer swap provider and any applicable guarantor fails to have any S&P required rating where S&P framework Weak applies.

The issuer swap provider must use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within 90 calendar days, either (i) transfer its obligations to an entity that is eligible to be a swap provider under the S&P ratings criteria, (ii) obtain a guarantee from an entity with at least the S&P subsequent required ratings, or (iii) take such other action as is required to maintain, or restore, the rating of the notes corresponding to the relevant issuer swap.

There is no requirement to provide collateral whilst the process is on-going.

The issuer may terminate the relevant issuer swap if the issuer swap provider either fails to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take the relevant actions or the relevant time period has expired.
