The Prospectus referred to below (as completed by these Final Terms) has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (the "Prospectus Directive") (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of the Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in any other circumstances.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.
Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Conditions set forth in the prospectus dated 20 July 2011, the Prospectus Supplement No. 1 dated 10 August 2011 and the Prospectus Supplement No. 2 dated 2 March 2012 (together, the "Prospectus") which constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive. This document constitutes the final terms of the Notes (the "Final Terms") described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus.
