MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs 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.
EU PRIIPs Regulation / PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA 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; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, 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. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "EU 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 EU PRIIPs Regulation.
UK PRIIPs Regulation / PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK 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 ("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"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "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 Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of 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.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the "SFA") – In connection with Section 309B of the SFA and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations 2018"), the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1) of the SFA), the classification of the Notes to be prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the "MAS") Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

SCHEDULE 1
The section of the Information Memorandum entitled "Programme summary" is amended and supplemented by deleting the information under the heading "Use of proceeds" and replacing it with the following:
"Use of proceeds
The Notes are Green Bonds.
An amount equivalent to the net proceeds of the Notes will be used exclusively to finance or refinance Eligible Green Projects (as defined in Iberdrola's Framework for Green Financing (as amended, supplemented or updated from time to time, the "Framework") available on its website at https://www.iberdrola.com/shareholders-investors/investors/fixed-income/information-related-to-green-finance).
The Issuer's and Guarantor's general green financing documentation (including the Framework) and the second party opinion relating to the Framework ("Second Party Opinion") is available at https://www.iberdrola.com/shareholders-investors/investors/fixed-income/information-related-to-green-finance. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Framework, the Second Party Opinion nor the above website are incorporated in or form part of this Pricing Supplement.
Prospective investors should have regard to the information referred to in this Pricing Supplement and the Framework regarding the use of proceeds and must determine for themselves the relevance of such information for the purpose of any investment in the Notes together with any other investigation such investor deems necessary. In particular no assurance is given by the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Dealers that the use of such proceeds for any Eligible Green Projects will satisfy, whether in whole or in part, any present or future investor expectations or requirements as regards any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or its investments are required to comply, whether by any present or future applicable law or regulations or by its own by-laws or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates (in particular with regard to any direct or indirect environmental, sustainability or social impact of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to, the relevant Eligible Green Projects). Each prospective investor should seek advice from their independent financial adviser or other professional adviser regarding its purchase of the Notes before deciding to invest.
The Dealers have not undertaken, nor are responsible for, any assessment of the eligibility criteria for selecting investments in Eligible Green Projects, any verification of whether the Eligible Green Projects meet such eligibility criteria, or the monitoring of the use of proceeds. Investors should refer to the Issuer's website, the Framework and the Second Party Opinion (if any) for information. A sustainability rating agency or sustainability consulting firm may be requested to issue a Second Party Opinion confirming that the Framework or any Green Bonds issued under the Programme are aligned with the four core components of the International Capital Market Association Green Bond Principles or with any other standard or market practice. No assurance or representation is given by the Issuer, the Guarantor, any of the Dealers or any other person as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of the Second Party Opinion or any other opinion or certification of any third party (whether or not solicited by the Issuer or any affiliate). Any such opinion or certification is not a recommendation by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Dealers or any other person to buy, sell or hold any such Notes and is current only as of the date it was issued.
