Not Applicable
3.4 What are the main risks specific to securities?
There are risk factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the risks related to the Notes, including the following:
1) The trading price of the Notes may fall in value as rapidly as it may rise and Noteholders may sustain a total loss of their investment;
2) The Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. If a market does develop, it may not be very liquid. Although application is expected to be made for the Notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange, there is no assurance that the Notes will be so admitted or that an active trading market will develop. Illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Notes;
3) The implementation in France of the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive could materially affect the rights of the Noteholders, the price or value of their investment in the Notes;
4) French insolvency law could have an adverse impact on Noteholders seeking repayment in the event that the Issuer, or its subsidiaries were to become insolvent and could have a material adverse effect on the market value of the Notes;
5) The risk relating to the unsecured nature of the Notes, the absence of negative pledge and debt restrictions with respect to the Issuer, all of which could have an adverse effect on the market value of the Notes;
6) The risks associated with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the UK Benchmarks Regulation), which may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Underlying or lead to its disappearance and as a consequence, could have an adverse effect on the value or liquidity of, and return on, the Notes;
7) The Final Redemption Amount of the Notes is dependent upon changes in the market value of the Underlying(s), which could adversely affect the market value of the Notes. In addition, the Final Redemption Amount may be less than the nominal amount of the Notes and the holders of Notes may lose all or part of the amount of the principal invested;
8) An investment in the Notes does not confer any legal or beneficial interest in the Underlying(s) or any voting rights, right to receive dividends or other rights that a holder of the Underlying(s) may have. Potential losses in value of the Notes cannot be compensated by other income; and
