This announcement is not an offer, solicitation or sale of securities in the
United States or any other state or jurisdiction, and there shall not be any
offer, solicitation or sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
The securities described in this announcement will only be offered in the
United States to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and
outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in
accordance with Regulation S thereunder. The Notes have not been and will not
be registered under the Securities Act, or under any state securities laws,
and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
This information is for your internal use and may not be forwarded or
redistributed to any other persons.

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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended,
"MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97,
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "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 PRIIPs Regulation.

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 2017/575 as it forms part of
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 (as amended, "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 domestic law by virtue of
the EUWA (as amended, the "UK MiFIR"). Consequently, no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic
law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering and
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.

The information in this announcement is only being distributed to and is only
directed at (i) persons who are outside the UK or (ii) investment
professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Order") or (iii) high
net worth companies, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be
communicated, falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such
persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). The Notes are only

otherwise acquire such Notes will be engaged in only with, relevant persons.
Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this

Act (Ontario), as applicable, and "permitted clients" as defined in National
Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant
