Interests of natural and legal persons involved in the issue/offer
The Lead Manager and its affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, the Issuer and its affiliates and have performed, and may in the future perform, corporate finance and other services for the Issuer and its affiliates, in each case in the ordinary course of business.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Lead Manager and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Issuer or its affiliates. The Lead Manager or its affiliates that have a lending relationship with the Issuer may routinely hedge their credit exposure to the Issuer consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, the Lead Manager and its affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in securities, including potentially the Notes. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes. The Lead Manager and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

On the basis of the issue price of the Notes of 99.328 per cent. of their principal amount, the gross yield of the Notes is 4.375 per cent. on an annual basis. Such amount is not, however, an indication of future yield.
