 Automatic Conversion Settlement Notice must contain certain information, including your CREST or other clearing system
account details (assuming the Conversion Shares are a participating security in a clearing system). Accordingly, in such cases, you (or your nominee, custodian or other representative) must have an account with the relevant clearing system in order
to receive the Conversion Shares or pro rataConversion Shares component, as applicable. Moreover, the Conversion Shares Depository will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether your Automatic Conversion Settlement Notice has
been properly completed and delivered, and such determination will be conclusive and binding on you. If you fail to properly complete and deliver an Automatic Conversion Settlement Notice (and the relevant Securities, if held in definitive form) the
Conversion Shares Depository will be entitled to treat such Automatic Conversion Settlement Notice as null and void.

Although the
Conversion Shares Depository will continue to hold the relevant Conversion Shares or Conversion Shares Offer Consideration, as applicable, if you fail to properly complete and deliver an Automatic Conversion Settlement Notice on or before the Notice
Cut-off Date, the relevant Securities will be cancelled on

Moreover, after the Notice Cut-off Date you will continue to be required to provide an Automatic Conversion Settlement Notice, as well as evidence of your entitlement to the relevant Conversion Shares or the Conversion Shares Offer
Consideration, as applicable. Such evidence must be satisfactory to the Conversion Shares Depository in its sole and absolute discretion in order for you to receive delivery of such Conversion Shares or Conversion Shares Offer Consideration, as
applicable.

We will have no liability to you for any loss resulting from your failure to receive any Conversion Shares or Conversion
Shares Offer Consideration, as applicable, or from any delay in the receipt thereof, in each case as a result of your (or your custodian, nominee, broker or other representative) failing to duly submit an Automatic Conversion Settlement Notice (and
the relevant Securities, if held in definitive form) on a timely basis or at all.

You will have limited remedies.

The remedies under the Securities are more limited than those typically available to our unsubordinated creditors.

There is no right of acceleration in the case of non-payment of principal or interest on the
Securities or of our failure to perform any of our obligations under or in respect of the Securities. Payment of the principal amount of the Securities will be accelerated only in the event of certain events of a
