FINAL TERMS

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND UK RETML 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 (IfA) or 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 (11) of Articie 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, MlFID II); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the Insurance Distribution Directive), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Articie 4(1) of MifID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulafion). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/20 14 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

MlfID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market — Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessrnent in respect of the Notes has led to the conciusion 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. My 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 IIis 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.

Ratings: The Notes to be issued are expected to be rated:

S&PGlobal Ratings Europe Limited (S&P): BBB

Each of Moody's and S&P is established in the United Kingdom and the European Union, respectively, and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009(as amended).

Moody's. in its January 2020 puhlication "Rating Symbols and Definitions", described a credit rating of Baa2 in the following terms "Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and suhject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category"

S&P, in its 18 September 2019 publication entitled "S&P Glohal Ratings Definitions", descrihed a credit rating of "BBB" in the following terms: "An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters.
