Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, 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.

Consequently, no key information document required by the EU PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of the domestic law of the UK 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.

2. RATINGS

Ratings:
The Notes to be issued are expected to be assigned the following ratings:

S&P Singapore: BBB+

An obligation rated ‘BBB’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. The plus (+) sign shows relative standing within the rating categories.

(Source: S&P, https://www.standardandpoors.com/en_US/web/guest/article-/view/sourceld/504352)

Moody’s Singapore: A3

An obligation rated ‘A’ is considered to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk. The modifier ‘3’ indicates a ranking in the lower end of that rating category.

(Source: Moody’s, https://www.moodys.com/ratings-process/Ratings-Definitions/002002)

Fitch UK: A

An obligation rated ‘A’ denotes an expectation of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

(Source, Fitch Ratings, https://www.fitchratings.com/products/rating-definitions)
