(the "Notes" )

Euro Medium Term Note Programme

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND 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 European Economic Area (the EEA) or in the
United Kingdom (the 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 Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as
amended or superseded) (MiFID II); or (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded) (the
Insurance Distribution Directive), 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defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded)
(the Prospectus Regulation). Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended or
superseded) (the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the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.
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 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.
Prohibition of sales to consumers in Belgium: 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
consumer (consument/consommateur) within the meaning of the Belgian
Code of Economic Law (Wetboek van economisch recht/Code de droit
économique), as amended.
