d. you have complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”) of the United Kingdom with respect to anything done by you in relation to any securities referred to on the website in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client in connection with the AT1 Securities, you make the foregoing confirmations and acknowledgements on behalf of yourself and your underlying client(s).

Neither this site nor anything contained herein shall constitute an invitation or recommendation to invest or otherwise deal in, or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for, any security.

The AT1 Securities have not been and will not be registered under any applicable laws of any state, province, territory, country or jurisdiction of the United States, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Switzerland or Japan. There shall be no sale of any AT1 Securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

By accessing this Website, you represent and warrant to us that you are doing so for information purposes only.

The AT1 Securities are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the AT1 Securities to retail investors. These include the following:

FCA CoCo restriction: In June 2015, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) published the Product Intervention (Contingent Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 (the “PI Instrument”). The AT1 Securities are not intended to be, and should not be, offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the “UK”).

EU PRIIPs Regulation: The AT1 Securities are not intended to be, and should not be, offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the “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2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II;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 the EU Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 on key information documents for packaged and retail and insurance-based investment products (as amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the AT1 Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the AT1 Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

UK PRIIPs Regulation: The AT1 Securities are not intended to be, and should not be, offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in UK. No key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“EUWA”) (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) has been or will be prepared for AT1 Securities, and making AT1 Securities available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

EU MiFID II product governance: Solely for the purposes of the European Union (“EU”) manufacturer product approval process, the target market for the AT1 Securities is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II and all channels for distribution of the AT1 Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the AT1 Securities (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the AT1 Securities (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

UK MiFIR product governance: Solely for the purposes of the UK manufacturer product approval process, the target market for the AT1 Securities is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (“COBS”), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (“UK MiFIR”) and all channels for distribution of the AT1 Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the AT1 Securities (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules”) is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the AT1 Securities (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The PI Instrument, COBS, UK MiFIR, the UK PRIIPs Regulation, MiFID II and the EU PRIIPs Regulation are, together, referred to herein as the “Regulations”).
