The Series 2025B Junior Subordinated Notes 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 (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 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 Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Series 2025B Junior Subordinated Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Series 2025B Junior Subordinated Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA, may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

This Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Series 2025B Junior Subordinated Notes in any member state of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Series 2025B Junior Subordinated Notes. This Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus are not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation.
