Legal Investment Considerations May Restrict Certain Investments<br />

The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or<br />

regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to<br />

what extent (1) Notes are legal investments for it, (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and<br />

(3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal<br />

advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based<br />

capital or similar rules.<br />

Taxation<br />

Potential purchasers of Notes should be aware that they may be required to pay stamp taxes or other documentary<br />

charges in accordance with the laws and practices of the country where the Notes are transferred and/or, in the case of<br />

certain Notes, where the Reference Item(s) are delivered. Income or profit recognised by a holder of Notes may be<br />

subject to taxation in its home jurisdiction or in other jurisdictions in which it is required to pay taxes.<br />

Potential purchasers who are in any doubt as to their tax position should consult their own independent tax advisers. In<br />

addition, potential purchasers should be aware that tax regulations and their application by the relevant taxation<br />

authorities change from time to time. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the precise tax treatment which will<br />

apply at any given time.<br />

As described below, the proper United States federal income tax characterisation of certain of the Notes is uncertain and<br />

may vary depending on the terms of the Notes. This may affect the timing, character and amount of income recognised<br />

by a U.S. holder of Notes and the United States federal withholding tax applicable to payments to non-U.S. holders of<br />

Notes. See “United States Taxation”. Each prospective purchaser of Notes should consult its own tax advisers about<br />

the United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to them.<br />

Prospective investors who consider purchasing any Notes should reach an investment decision only after<br />

carefully considering the suitability of such Notes in light of their particular circumstances.<br />

Income or profit recognised by a holder of Notes may be subject to taxation in its home jurisdiction or in other<br />

jurisdictions in which it is required to pay taxes.<br />
