In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any)<br />
named as the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising<br />
Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Notes (provided that, in the case of<br />
any Tranche of Notes to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European<br />
Economic Area, the aggregate principal amount of Notes allotted does not exceed 105 per<br />
cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Tranche) or effect transactions with<br />
a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might<br />
otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or<br />
persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any<br />
stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of<br />
the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may be<br />
ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date<br />
of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant<br />
Tranche of Notes.<br />
