DISCLAIMER

 

This press release, and the information contained therein, does not constitute
an offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe for the Notes in the United

The offer and subscription of the Notes may be subject in certain countries to
specific legal or regulatory restrictions. The Company accepts no liability
for any breach by any person of these restrictions.

 

This press release constitutes a communication of a promotional nature but
does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of Regulation 2017/1129,
as amended (the "Prospectus Regulation"). The distribution of this press
release may, in certain countries, be subject to specific regulations. Persons

distribution, as amended (the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10)

required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation")

recommending the Notes (a "Distributor") must consider the target market
assessment; a Distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for conducting
its own target market assessment with respect to the Notes (by adopting or
refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
