With respect to the member states of the EEA, including Sweden, no action has been undertaken or will be undertaken to make an offer to the public of the securities referred to herein requiring a publication of a prospectus in any relevant member state. As a result, the securities may not and will not be offered in any relevant member state except in accordance with the exemptions set forth in Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation or under any other circumstances which do not require the publication by the Company of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation and/or to applicable regulations of that relevant member state.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic U.K. law by virtue of the European Union Withdrawal Act (“EUWA”) (“U.K. MiFIR”); and (b) the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (together, the “U.K. MiFIR Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the U.K. MiFIR Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail clients as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, professional clients as defined in U.K. MiFIR, and eligible counterparties as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (“COBS”); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by U.K. MiFIR (the “U.K. Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the U.K. Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The U.K. Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the U.K. Target Market Assessment, the Managers will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties in the United Kingdom.
