The distribution of this stock exchange release may be restricted by law and persons into whose possession any document or other information referred to herein comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. This stock exchange release is not directed to, and is not intended for distribution to or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction where such distribution, publication or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would require any registration within such jurisdiction. This stock exchange release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities or any other securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Securities or any other securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

This stock exchange release is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States and does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the requirements of the Securities Act. There will be no public offer of securities in the United States.

No prospectus has been or will be approved in the United Kingdom in respect of the Securities. This stock exchange release is directed only at (i) persons outside the United Kingdom (ii) "qualified investors" within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (a) who have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Market Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Order") or b) falling within Article 49(2) (a) to (d) of the Order or (c) to whom it may otherwise be lawfully communicated (all such persons being referred to as "relevant persons"). Any investment activity to which this stock exchange release may relate is only available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to engage in such investment activity will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this stock exchange release or any of its contents.

The Securities 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:

(b)     a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of EU MiFID II.

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) 1286/2014 (as amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.
