laws and regulations of Switzerland, only the Exchange Offer Memorandum
(including the Base Prospectus, the Registration Document (which is incorporated
by reference in the Base Prospectus), each with any supplements thereto, and the
audited consolidated accounts of the Issuer for the financial year ended 31
December 2009 with the independent auditor's report, and the Final Terms) may be
used in the context of any invitation to Holders of Existing Securities to offer
to exchange their Existing Securities for New Securities pursuant to the
Exchange Offers or any offer of the New Securities for sale or otherwise in or

Portugal
No placement of New Securities, acquisition of Existing Securities and exchange
offer of Existing Securities for New Securities may be made in Portugal except
in circumstances that will result in compliance with the rules concerning
placement of New Securities, the acquisition of Existing Securities and the
marketing of any such transactions, and with the securities laws and regulations
applicable in Portugal generally. None of this announcement, the Exchange Offer
Memorandum, the Base Prospectus or the Final Terms have been nor will be subject
to the approval of the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (the "CMVM"). The
New Securities will not be offered or sold in Portugal or to residents of
Portugal otherwise than in accordance with applicable Portuguese Law.
This announcement, the Exchange Offer Memorandum, the Base Prospectus, the Final
Terms or any transactions contemplated thereby have not been, nor will be,
subject to the approval of, registration with or notification to the Portuguese
Securities Market Commission (Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários, the
"CMVM").
Other than in compliance with any laws and regulations applicable to securities
exchange offers in Portugal, the exchange of the Existing Securities for the New
Securities will not be (i) offered, advertised, or subject to an
investment-gathering procedure in Portugal, or to individuals or entities
resident in Portugal or having a permanent establishment located in Portuguese
territory, or (ii) executed in Portugal or with such individuals or entities.
Accordingly, the placement of New Securities, the acquisition of Existing
Securities and the exchange of the Existing Securities for the New Securities
may not be carried out in circumstances that would qualify as a public offering
in relation to the New Securities and/or the Existing Securities, and therefore
the same cannot be addressed to the public in Portugal and all offers, sales,
exchanges and distributions contemplated by the Exchange Offer Memorandum or in
the Base Prospectus or the Final Terms have been and will only be made in
Portugal in circumstances that, pursuant to the Portuguese Securities Code
(Código dos Valores Mobiliários, the "CVM"), qualify as a private offering of
securities (oferta particular). Thus, the placement of New Securities, the
acquisition of Existing Securities and the exchange of the Existing Securities
for the New Securities has not been and may not be addressed to 100 or more
addressees who are not Portuguese Qualified Investors and no offer has been or
may be preceded or followed by promotion or solicitation to unidentified
investors, public advertisement or publication of any promotional material in
circumstances which would qualify such transactions as a public offer of
securities.
In particular, the Exchange Offer Memorandum, the Base Prospectus, the Final
Terms, the placement of New Securities, the acquisition of Existing Securities
and the marketing of any such transactions are only intended for Portuguese
Qualified Investors.
"Portuguese Qualified Investors" within the meaning of Article 30 of the CVM
includes credit institutions, investment firms, insurance companies, collective
investment institutions and their respective managing companies, pension funds
and their respective pension fund-managing companies, other authorised or
regulated financial institutions, notably securitisation funds and their
respective management companies, all other financial companies, securitisation
companies, venture capital companies, venture capital funds and their respective
management companies, financial institutions incorporated in a state that is not
a member state of the EU that carry out activities similar to those previously
mentioned, entities trading in financial instruments related to commodities and
regional and national governments, central banks and public bodies that manage
debt, supranational or international institutions, namely the European Central
Bank, the European Investment Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the
World Bank, as well as entities whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in
securities and any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at
least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of
more than EUR43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more than EUR50,000,000,
all as shown in its last available individual or consolidated accounts. It may
also include high net worth individuals or certain entities enjoying a wide
experience in trading in securities (namely issuers of securities) who request
to be classified as such, provided that they also comply with certain
requirements and subsequently are registered with the CMVM - it will only be
possible to apply for such registration in case CMVM publishes the applicable
regulation before the end of the subscription period contemplated by the
Exchange Offer Memorandum, the Base Prospectus and the Final Terms.
