PRODUCT GOVERNANCE RULES UNDER MiFID II THE TARGET MARKET SHALL CONSIST EXCLUSIVELY OF ELIGIBLE COUNTERPARTIES AND PROFESSIONAL CLIENTS

Exclusively for the purposes of the process of approval of the product which is to be carried out by each manufacturer, the conclusion has been reached, having assessed the target market for the Commercial Paper, that: (i) the target market for the Commercial Paper consists solely of “eligible counterparties” and “professional clients”, in accordance with the meaning attributed to each of these expressions in Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU (“MiFID II”), in Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 20 January 2016, on insurance distribution and in their respective implementing regulations (in particular, in Spain, the Securities Market Law and its implementing regulations); and that (ii) all channels for the distribution of the Commercial Paper to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Accordingly, in each issuance of Commercial Paper, the Manufacturers shall identify the potential target market using the list of five categories mentioned in number 18 of the Guidelines on MIFID II Product Governance Requirements, published on 5 February 2018, by the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”).

BASE INFORMATIVE DOCUMENT FOR ADMISSION (INCORPORACIÓN) OF COMMERCIAL PAPER ON THE ALTERNATIVE FIXED-INCOME MARKET

1. Risk factors

Investment in the Commercial Paper entails certain risks. Potential investors should analyze carefully the risks described in this section, along with all other information contained this Base Informative Document, before investing in the Commercial Paper. Were any of these risks, or any others not described herein, to materialize, the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the companies of the Issuer's group, and/or the Issuer's capacity to make the repayments corresponding to the Commercial Paper upon maturity, could be adversely affected, in which case the market price of the Commercial Paper could fall, resulting in the total or partial loss of any investment made in it.

The Issuer's understanding is that the risk factors described below in this section are the main or material risks inherent in investment in the Commercial Paper. The order in which these risks are described does not necessarily reflect a greater probability of their materialization. The Issuer, moreover, gives no assurance that the account of risk factors provided below in this section is exhaustive; it is possible that the risks described in this Base Informative Document may not be the only ones which the Issuer and/or the Issuer's group are exposed to and there may be other risks, currently unknown or which, at this point in time, are not considered significant, which in themselves or in conjunction with others (whether identified in this Base Informative Document or not) could potentially have a material adverse effect on the activity, the business, the financial position and the results of the Issuer and/or of the companies of the Issuer's group, and/or the Issuer's capacity to make the repayments corresponding to the Commercial Paper upon maturity, in which case the market price of the Commercial Paper could decrease as a result and/or any investment made in it could be totally or partially lost.

In most cases, the risk factors described represent contingencies, which may or may not materialize. The Issuer cannot express an opinion as to the probability of such contingencies materializing.

In this regard, we call the reader’s attention to the exceptional situation generated by Covid-19. Covid-19 – more commonly known as coronavirus – has become a health emergency worldwide affecting citizens, companies and the economy in general, to the point that the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a pandemic, due to both its rapid expansion and its effects. Having been recognized initially in China – in the city of Wuhan – in December 2019, at the date of issuance of this Base Informative Document, according to the WHO’s own sources, coronavirus has spread to most parts of the world, including Spain. That extremely serious situation is not only harming people’s health but its effects on the economy are still difficult to quantify as its progression continues to be exponential. On 13 March 2020, the European Commission (EC) already

estimated a drop of 2.5 percentage points in the PIB of the euro zone, which sheds light on the collateral effects which this pandemic will have on the economy.

In view of this situation, Spain, following the precedents of other European countries with high rates of infected persons – such as Italy – has implemented drastic measures to limit the expansion of the virus, and other measures aimed at buffering the economic effects. These measures include most notably the enactment of Royal Decree 463/2020, of 14 March 2020, declaring the state of emergency, for the management of the health crisis caused by Covid-19. One of the fundamental rights of citizens – the freedom of movement of persons – has been restricted, with the exception of certain stipulated cases, such as to go to work if the company cannot guarantee teleworking, to tend to the establishments that remain open where citizens can obtain products to meet their basic necessities, such as food or medicine, among other situations which are specifically established. This has subjected the citizens of Spain to mandatory confinement in their homes, which will cause a very important drop in sales and in activity by companies and in their profits.

Last 18 March 2020, the Government, with the aim of mitigating the economic effects of this pandemic, published Royal Decree-Law 8/2020, of 18 March 2020, on urgent and extraordinary measures to confront the economic and social impact of Covid-19, which includes some provisions that will have an effect the business activity.

Although, at the date of issuance of this Base Informative Document, it is difficult to make forecasts about the expansion of this pandemic and its effects on the economy, we consider that in view of the particular circumstances of Grupo Pikolin, and the measures that it is carrying out, it will resume its habitual business activity as soon as the state of emergency ends, so that the crisis will not significantly impact its financial statements of 2019, but it will impact its forecasts for 2020, just as will be the case of most companies. The management of Grupo Pikolin has suspended activity at the production and logistics center in Zaragoza and has initiated a temporary collective layoff procedure for all of its workforce.

In this context of uncertainty, in which there is a constant stream of news and the forecasts of different variables are being modified, Grupo Pikolin considers that the best way not to misinform potential investors is to reflect verifiable (past) data and to avoid forecasts which will almost certainly deviate significantly (upwards or downwards) from reality.

1.1 Risks specific to the Issuer or to its business sector

The main risks specific of the Issuer or of its business sector are the following:

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

A. Risks associated with the business sector

Exposure to the bedding industry

Grupo Pikolin is dedicated mainly to the bedding products. The level of exposure to a mature market such as the bedding products sector, along with a high concentration of its billings in very mature markets (82% of the group’s sales in 2019 are concentrated in Europe, where the Iberian market represents half of consolidated billing1 could weaken the Grupo Pikolin's competitive positioning and have an adverse impact on the activity, the business, the financial position and the results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s group.

However, Grupo Pikolin's mapping comprises of a broad spectrum of brands (both general and more exclusive), offering a full product mix within the bedding sector and covering all segments. Furthermore, the positioning obtained by the Issuer group’s brands, leaders in their core markets (in particular, France, Spain and Portugal), is valued positively, in a sector whose performance is deemed to be ‘brand conscious’, representing the main entry barrier for potential competitors in the sector. Besides the ownership of these brands, Grupo Pikolin supplements its commercial activity through the acquisition of licenses from other leading international companies, which permits it to exploit those brands in certain regions, and through independent distributors and franchises.

Connection to the economic cycle and GDP fluctuations

The bedding industry is highly correlated to the economic cycle and the GDP growth. Since the Issuer operates primarily in markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America, it is affected in particular by the economic cycles and GDPs of these markets.

Historically, the most important markets at income statement level, for the Issuer’s group, have been Spain and France, although the expectation is that emerging countries will come to feature more prominently in the income statement of the Issuer’s group in the forthcoming years.

The connection to the economic cycle has been lessened since Grupo Pikolin entered the sector of manufacturing and sale of products for the hospital and geriatrics industry, a market niche that is not as connected to the economic cycle and has a high potential for exportation.

Grupo Pikolin obtains a significant portion of its sales from a limited number of distributors

1 Data as of 31 December 2019. It is placed on record that the financial statements as of 31 December 2019, have been neither prepared nor audited at the date of issuance of this Base Informative Document.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Grupo Pikolin sells its products through establishments specializing in bedding products (of its own or operated under a franchise), and independent distributors.

The risk of exposure to its main customers is different in the Iberian and French markets. According to the company’s data, at 31 December 20192, in the Iberian Peninsula, the 10 main customers represented 44.4% of total sales in that area (the two largest representing 18.6% of total billings), while in France the 10 main customers represented 74.7% of total sales in the region (with the two largest customers representing 57.1% of total billings).

This level of exposure to the risk of customer concentration, which is particularly high in France, is closely linked to the way in which products are distributed in the bedding sector. The Iberian market is fragmented while the French market is considerably more concentrated, what is the main reason why retail sales are not channeled through dedicated stores and franchises, as is the case in the Iberian Peninsula and in Asia.

However, despite the higher exposure to customer concentration risk in the French market, in comparison with the Iberian market, the differences in the ways of distribution in these two markets generate synergies for both parties, bearing in mind that the average payment period for customers in France is shorter than for Spanish customers.

Volatility in the prices of key raw materials could have an effect on the operating margins of Grupo Pikolin

Because it designs, manufactures and markets its products, Grupo Pikolin consumes raw materials whose availability may be limited and which prices can be volatile.

Grupo Pikolin's main raw materials are petroleum based and steel products. The price and availability of such raw materials have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future. Moreover, an adverse evolution in oil prices could also affect the distribution costs of the Issuer’s group, and its activity, its business, financial position and results.

During 2019, oil prices have remained relatively stable, being sold with a slim margin, despite the increase in geopolitical uncertainty. In April, they reached their peak for 2019 at USD 71, and they fell to their minimum at USD 60 in August, before going back up to over USD 66. Initially, prices were pushed up by the recovery of financing conditions, as well as by the electricity cuts in Venezuela and the tensions between the United States and

2 Data as at 31 December 2019. It is placed on record that the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 have been neither prepared nor audited at the date of this Base Informative Document.

Iran. Nonetheless, at the end of the second quarter of the year, the weakening of the world economy caused concerns about the strength of the world’s oil demand, which were amplified by the accumulation of crude oil reserves in the United States.

From a point of view of demand, the weakening of the world economic foundations has contributed to the drop in prices.

Moreover, after the recent confrontation between the OPEP and Russia, due to Moscow’s refusal to support the proposal for a new decrease in production due to the economic impact of Covid-19, both Saudi Arabia and Russia announced increases in oil production. As a result, the oil market is now on volatile, with the oil prices falling during the month of March to levels of around USD 25.

The average price of oil in 2019 was USD 64.5, and according to various analysts including Goldman Sachs, the average price is expected to remain at around USD 30 in 2020. If the prices go up, both the production costs and the distribution costs of Grupo Pikolin could be affected, which could have an adverse impact on the activity, business, financial situation and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer's Group.

Moreover, a variation in energy prices could affect the price of polyurethane foam, polyethylene foam and steel innerspring component parts, having a significant impact on Grupo Pikolin’s costs and reducing its profit margins, which could have a negative effect on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

However, in markets such as Spain and Portugal, the vertical integration policy carried out by Grupo Pikolin lessens the impact of raw material prices on the Group’s margins in those markets. In this regard, Grupo Pikolin is working to lower its overhead costs.

Grupo Pikolin's success depends upon its ability to design, manufacture and market new products that satisfy evolving market demand

Grupo Pikolin primarily designs, manufactures and commercializes mattresses, bases, pillows and other sleep products.

Grupo Pikolin’s competitors may introduce new products and technologies that are more efficient or affordable than Grupo Pikolin’s or that render its existing or new products obsolete or uncompetitive, and this could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

In addition, Grupo Pikolin may be unable to develop and manufacture new products and technologies in a timely and profitable manner, or to obtain the

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

necessary certificates or patents to meet market requirements, or it may not have the capacity to deliver new products and technologies, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

Failure to keep up with new products and technological advances in the market could have a material adverse effect on the ability of Grupo Pikolin to compete effectively in its industry and sector, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

Notwithstanding the above, Grupo Pikolin has a good track record in the ability to continuously improve their products to offer new and enhanced consumer benefits, by strongly and continuously investing in R&D. Innovation entails approximately 1% of Grupo Pikolin’s billings in 20193, with an investment amounting to 4.9 million euros in the last two years, 2018 and 2019.

Intellectual property

Grupo Pikolin holds certain trademarks and patents that enable it to protect a portion of its intellectual property. Grupo Pikolin's ability to compete effectively partly depends on the maintenance and protection of its intellectual property, including the know-how required for its day-to-day operations in relation to the products it designs, manufactures, markets and sells and the services it offers. Grupo Pikolin could, however, fail to adequately protect its intellectual property, and this could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

Grupo Pikolin may be exposed to the risk of occurrence of: (i) a delay in obtaining the relevant approvals for trademarks, patents or other industrial property rights, (ii) failure to obtain them and/or (iii) the fact that even if they are approved, they are insufficient to protect the brand, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

In addition, Grupo Pikolin may have to assume certain costs that could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group, as a result of potential claims by third parties in connection with the intellectual and industrial property rights of Grupo Pikolin, which could also affect its patents or trademarks.

3 Data as at 31 December 2019. It is placed on record that the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 have been neither prepared nor audited at the date of this Base Informative Document

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Potential claims

Grupo Pikolin's activities could expose the Issuer and/or the Issuer’s group to potentially warranty, product liability, accident or other claims and cause Grupo Pikolin to be a party to litigation, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

Grupo Pikolin normally offers general limited warranties to its customers for many of its products, and so could be subject to warranty or contractual claims in the event any of its products and services not complying with contractual specifications. This type of claim could result in product recalls, customers seeking monetary damages and damage to Grupo Pikolin's reputation, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

There can be no assurance that Grupo Pikolin will not have to pay penalties in the future as a result of an increase in failures attributable to Pikolin, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

Worsening of economic and political conditions worldwide, and those of Spain and France in particular

The results of Grupo Pikolin could be affected by the macro-economic and political situation in the countries in which it pursues its business, and in Spain and France in particular, as well as by levels of sovereign debt and fiscal deficit, liquidity and credit availability, unemployment, real disposable incomes, salaries, and inflation.

The profitability and growth of Grupo Pikolin are linked in part to the evolution of the economic situation in Spain and France. Therefore, if these two economies do not continue to improve, become stagnated or contract, this could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

The possible political uncertainty along with the impact which Covid-19 has had up to now or may have in the countries in which Grupo Pikolin pursues its business activity, particularly in France and Spain could also have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

Limitations on Grupo Pikolin's capacity to extend its business through acquisitions or business alliances

Grupo Pikolin is subject to the legislations of different jurisdictions, which may contain stipulations whereby the acquisition of holdings in companies or formation of business alliances are required to be authorized.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Moreover, Grupo Pikolin’s growth strategy, based on inorganic growth (acquisitions), could be limited if it were not capable of satisfactorily integrating the last acquisitions and/or strategic alliances carried out, its international expansion process or the reinforcing of other lines of business, such as the hospital or assistance line, or new strategic segments such as the sale of foam to third parties and the online distribution channel.

In this respect, Grupo Pikolin's capacity to extend its business through acquisitions or business alliances could be restricted or delayed as a result, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

B. Risks relating to the Issuer

Credit risk

Grupo Pikolin is exposed to its customers’ credit risk. However, Grupo Pikolin's main clients are reputable companies with guaranteed solvency, situation that greatly reduces the probability of default. Grupo Pikolin has hired insurance credit guarantees operations for 90% of the billed volume at 31 December 2019. At the same time, in markets such as Spain or France, where Grupo Pikolin operates, the law affects especially to this aspect, to ensure compliance with the maximum period of collection.

However, attention will have to be paid to the legislative amendments that may be approved in the markets in which Grupo Pikolin operates in order to mitigate the impact of Covid-19.

Market risk

Grupo Pikolin is exposed to various types of market risk in the course of its business, including the impact of variations in interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations.

. Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in interest rates may have an adverse effect on Grupo Pikolin’s business, financial position and results. Some of the borrowings of the Issuer’s group are indexed to a variable rate, which in general is linked to interest rates such as the EURIBOR. Any rise in interest rates would increase the Issuer’s group’s financial expenses related to its variable rate borrowings, as well as the costs of refinancing existing debt of the Issuer’s group and the issuance of new debt.

Grupo Pikolin uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks to which its activity, operations and future cash flows are exposed. Accordingly, in the context of debt transactions, Pikolin has contracted interest rate hedging instruments (interest rate swaps).

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

. Foreign exchange risk

Exchange rate fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the business, the financial condition and the results of operations of Grupo Pikolin. Grupo Pikolin's reporting currency is the euro. However, some contracts entered into by Grupo Pikolin are determined in other currencies or in euros but allowing the customer to pay in its local currency, using market exchange rates in effect at the time of payment, forcing Grupo Pikolin to bear any foreign exchange risk arising between the invoice date and the effective date of payment. This risk is mainly found in the Issuer’s strategic operations whereby it purchases different subsidiaries abroad.

Approximately 18% of Grupo Pikolin's exports were generated outside of the European Union as of 31 December 2019. To be able to manage part of the risk associated with its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, Grupo Pikolin uses foreign exchange forward contracts in respect of net cash inflows and outflows resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions between their subsidiaries and their customers and suppliers, as well as among certain subsidiaries.

Grupo Pikolin follows a conservative interest hedging policy, having contracted low-risk hedging products considered “plain vanilla”.

Liquidity risk

This risk is associated with the impossibility of financing the time lapses between collections and payments.

Grupo Pikolin manages its liquidity risk, ensuring that there is always sufficient cash to cover its debts when they are required for the payment on normal business conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses that might adversely affect the Group’s reputation.

Moreover, Grupo Pikolin reviews its liquidity needs according to the treasury budgets, considering the payment dates of the balances collectable and payable and the forecast cash flows. As of 31 December 2018 and 2019, Grupo Pikolin had the capacity to meet short-term payment commitments with a working capital of 39 million in 2018 and 6.7 million in 2019, mainly due to a reclassification of short- and long-term financial investments. Also, this capacity is favored by a comfortable short-term payment calendar and by the adequate margin of disposable instruments for financing its operations (72 million available between credit facilities, discount lines and MARF commercial paper notes at the end of 2019, besides financial assets and cash valued at 87 million euros).

In addition, the exceptional situation generated by Covid-19 could have a negative impact on the liquidity of companies. In this regard, the general situation of the markets is likely to cause an increase in liquidity tensions in

the economy, and a worsening in the credit market. However, Grupo Pikolin has the capacity to obtain additional financing which, together with the start- up of specific plans for the improvement and efficient management of liquidity, will permit it to face those tensions.

Funding risk

Grupo Pikolin makes regular capital investments for maintenance purposes and, occasionally, for the acquisition of new lines of business or to start operations in a new country.

In the event that Grupo Pikolin is unable to attract capital for its business and operations when so required, its activity, its business, its financial situation and its results could be adversely affected.

In addition, the possibility of obtaining external financing depends on a number of factors that are beyond the control of Grupo Pikolin, such as the situation in the capital market, the availability of credit, interest rates and its business results.

The Grupo Pikolin's difficulty in obtaining additional financing when so required and in satisfactory conditions could have a significant adverse effect on its expansion plans and on its activity, business, financial position, and results.

Grupo Pikolin’s interest or the interest of the controlling shareholders may differ from the interest of the holders of Commercial Paper

Seasonality

Seasonality has an impact on the operating results of Grupo Pikolin and this could mean that comparisons between consecutive quarters cannot be regarded as an accurate indicator of its results.

A significant part of the growth in the Grupo Pikolin's net sales is attributable to the increase in retail sales. Sales of sleep and other products to furniture stores are subject to the seasonality typical of this sector, in which sales generally increase in the second and third quarters. In this respect, any event having an adverse effect on the activity, distribution and sales of Grupo Pikolin during that period of time would negatively impact its results to a greater extent than if they occurred in other quarters, in which sales do not involve such a high percentage of the Grupo Pikolin's total operating results and revenue.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Importance of Grupo Pikolin employees and provisions for unemployment

Grupo Pikolin will need to attract, recruit or retain qualified employees in the different jurisdictions in which it operates and to manage successfully the relationship with its employees. Otherwise, its business and ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of its business will be adversely affected.

Grupo Pikolin also believes its success depends to a significant degree on the continued contribution of its executive officers and key employees, both individually and as a group. The loss of one or more members of its management team, as they have many years of experience in its business and industry, would be difficult to replace without adversely affecting its business.

Furthermore, in fiscal year 2019, one of the Group’s production plants in France was closed, which is why provisions relating to the agreements with the employees of that plant were recognized in the financial statements as of 31 December 2018. The provisions recorded could be insufficient to cover the total amount of possible claims that could derive from these events, which could adversely affect the activity, business, financial situation and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s group.

Additionally, as a result of the public health emergency caused by Covid-19 in the markets in which the Group operates and mainly in Spain, and of Royal Decree 463/2020, declaring the state of emergency for the management of the health crisis caused by Covid-19, in which, among others, the freedom of movement of persons was restricted, approved by the Spanish government on 14 March 2020, Grupo Pikolin has suspended its activity at the production and logistics center in Zaragoza and has presented a temporary collective layoff procedure to its entire workforce in Spain. The possible claims that could derive from this procedure could adversely affect the activity, business, financial situation and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s group.

Tax inspections in course

Grupo Pikolin is exposed to the risk of inspection by the tax authorities, of the taxes relating to the last fiscal years. In case such inspections are unfavorable for Grupo Pikolin, it could adversely affect the activity, business, financial situation and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s group

In particular, at the date hereof, there is only a single inspection in course, which the Issuer considers will not have an adverse effect.

Product liability insurance

Grupo Pikolin purchases and maintains the product liability insurance coverage believed to be consistent with industry practice and sufficient to insure Grupo Pikolin against the immediate financial risk of successful claims based on product liability. Its ability to insure its businesses, facilities and

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

assets is an important feature of its ability to manage risk. However, Grupo Pikolin could be unable to procure adequate insurance, or at terms which are not cost-effective that could be harmful to its results and brand image.

Force Majeure

Accidents, natural disasters, epidemics, terrorism, power loss or other catastrophes may also result in significant property damage, disruption of operations, personal injury or fatalities and reputational damage, which could have a negative impact on the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s Group.

In the event of uninsured loss or a loss in excess of the insured limits, Grupo Pikolin could suffer damage to its reputation and lose all or a part of its manufacturing capacity, as well as future net turnover expected from the relevant facilities. Any material loss not fully covered by insurance could adversely affect the activity, business, financial position and results of the Issuer and/or of the Issuer’s group.

Specifically, the recent appearance of the coronavirus Covid-19, along with the measures applied to contain it, such as the travel restrictions and other measures to discourage or limit movement of people, could have an adverse effect on the level of economic activity worldwide and in the areas where it is present in particular. The scope of the risk posed by Covid-19 in the future is not clear; if the impact of the virus is serious or prolonged, it could have an adverse effect, both on the short and the long term, on the commercial activity, the financial situation and the results of the Group’s operations.

C. Risk derived from Grupo Pikolin borrowings

In order to carry out its activities, Grupo Pikolin, in recent years, has received financing from credit institutions and institutional investors through the bond issuances carried out during the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2018, and the issues of commercial paper carried out in 2019. Therefore, Grupo Pikolin is exposed to the risk of non-compliance with the obligations arising from its borrowings.

In particular, under the commitments assumed by reason of the bond issuances, Grupo Pikolin is currently subject to the fulfilment of various financial covenants (indebtedness limitation, negative pledge, dividend payments restrictions, restrictions on sales of assets and mandatory tender offers of the bonds, investments restrictions, among others). Grupo Pikolin regularly monitors compliance with these financial covenants in order to anticipate any risk of non-compliance and to take corrective measures.

1.2 Basic information on the specific risks related to the Commercial Paper

The main risks of the Commercial Paper are as follows:

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Market risk

These are short-term fixed-income securities and their market price is subject to possible fluctuations, mainly concerning the interest rate. Consequently, the Issuer cannot guarantee that the Commercial Paper will be traded at a market price that is equal to or higher than the subscription price of the same.

Credit risk

The Issuer is liable with its assets for the payment of the Commercial Paper. The credit risk of the Commercial Paper arises due to the potential inability of the Issuer to comply with commitments assumed, and this can generate a possible economic loss for the counterparty.

Risk of change in the Issuer's credit rating

The Issuer's credit rating could be deteriorated as a result of an increase in borrowings or due to deterioration in its financial ratios, which would represent a decrease in the Issuer's capacity to meet its debt commitments.

On 14 January 2020, Axesor Risk Management S.L.U. ("Axesor") issued a report on the corporate credit rating assigned to the Issuer.

Axesor’s report assigned the Issuer a credit rating of BB. This rating focuses on an assessment of solvency and the associated credit risk in the medium and long term.

There is no guarantee that this rating by Axesor will be maintained over the entire term of the issue of the Commercial Paper. The credit rating could be revised upwards or downwards, suspended or even withdrawn by the rating agency. A downward revision, suspension or withdrawal of the credit rating by Axesor could hamper the Issuer's access to debt markets and impact its financing capacity.

Liquidity risk

This is the risk whereby investors are unable to find counterparty for the securities when they want to sell the Commercial Paper prior to maturity. Even though we will apply for admission (incorporación) of the Commercial Paper to be issued under the aegis of this Base Informative Document on the MARF in order to mitigate this risk, we cannot guarantee there will be active trading thereof on the market.

In this regard, we point out that the Issuer has not signed any liquidity contract and consequently there is no entity obliged to list put and call prices. Consequently, investors may not find counterparty for the Commercial Paper.

Risks derived from the classification and order of priority of debt claims

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

According to the classification and order of priority of debt claims laid down in Law 22/2003 of 9 July, in its current wording (“Insolvency Law”), in the event of insolvency of the Issuer, the debt claims of the investors by virtue of the Commercial Paper are generally to be ranked as ordinary claims (ordinary creditors), being placed behind preference claims and ahead of subordinated claims (unless they can be classed as such under article 92 of the Insolvency Act). Since the Commercial Paper notes are classed as ordinary claims, there would be no order of preference between their holders.

According to article 92 of the Insolvency Law, the following, among others, are classed as subordinated claims:

- Claims which, having been communicated late, are included by the insolvency management team in the list of creditors, and those which, having not been communicated or having been communicated late, are included in such list as a result of subsequent communications, or by the judge when resolving on an action contesting the list.

- Claims for surcharges and interest of any kind, including late-payment interest, except for interest relating to secured loans up to the amount of that security.

- Claims held by any of the persons specially related to the debtor, as referred to in article 93 of the Insolvency Law.

g) Industry

The data relating to the forecasts and estimates set forth below have not taken into account the impact which Covid-19 could have on the economy, so it is necessary to bear in mind possible reductions in the forecasts due to the impact which Covid-19 has had up to now and may have during the year.

(i) Industry introduction

According to the projections drawn up by Transparency Market Research (“TMR”) in April 2018, the global mattresses market will reach 43.43 billion US dollars in 2024. The main factors which point towards growth in the sector are the increase in the construction of residential properties derived from the reactivation of the economy in both Europe and North America, and the growing activity of home refurbishment and growth in the hotel industry worldwide.

The Asia-Pacific region is the broadest market, in addition to being the most dynamic, with compound annual growth of 11% between 2018 and 2025, according to Global Industry Analysts (“GIA”). There are a number of factors which result in its being the most active market, such as: the increase in living standards, increased urbanization and a high level of activity in the construction sector, an increase in rates of ownership of homes - larger in size and with more bedrooms - among the growing middle classes, the growth of the hotel sector, a broader offer of services, improved consumer experience, and improved promotion of services focusing on sleep.

According to the 2018 Mattress Industry Report published by the International Sleep Products Association (“ISPA”), the total mattress consumption amongst the 50 major countries reached USD 27.4 billion in 2017. In accordance with the ISPA’s forecasts for November 2019, in the United States alone, mattress manufacturers sold 38.7 million units in 2017), and also the average unit price of mattresses decreased by 1.7% with respect to the preceding year.

According to this ISPA report, the main manufacturers of mattresses were China and the United States, which are a long way ahead of the other manufacturing countries. China increased its production by almost 5%, up to a figure of 8.7 billion US dollars in 2017.

According to the CSIL World Mattress Industry report of 2018, international trade in mattresses in the 60 largest markets grew by 9% in 2018, up to more than 4.677 billion dollars and it will grow by 7% in 2019 up to 5.044 billion, in part favored by the improvements in the vacuum- packing of mattresses and in transport logistics.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

The United States is the leader in mattress consumption with around 8.2 billion dollars, followed very closely by China with 7.6 billion dollars in 2017. They are followed by Brazil, India, Germany and Canada. The following chart shows the evolution of the mattress consumption in the six largest markets for 2008-2017:

Some Central and Eastern countries, including Russia, Poland and Romania, are still small mattress consuming markets, with significant growth potential.

(ii) Mattress sector by country

France

France is the second European country in terms of mattress consumption according to CSIL. After increasing by 5.5% in 2016 and by 3.0% in 2017, sales in the mattress sector remained stable in 2018, showing improved performance than the furniture sector, where sales went down by 2.7% in 2018, according to the l’Institut de prospectives et d’études de l’ameublement (“IPEA”).

After a year of stagnation in 2018, in a context of growing purchase power and a record number of real estate transactions, consumption in the French mattress sector began to increase again in 2019, reaching total sales of 2.47

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

billion euros, 3% more than the previous year, according to estimations of the Xerfi report of 2019. The increase in sales is based on a greater frequency in the renovation of bedding material and the replacement with products of higher quality and, thus, value, and is the result of factors such as the ageing of the population, the interest in a “good night’s sleep”, and the higher incidence of back problems.

According to the Xerfi report, in 2018, 55% of the French mattress market was distributed through large department stores, whereas 25% is distributed through franchises of bedding specialists, and 5% through furniture stores or other distributors such as hypermarkets.

In recent years, owing to the surge in Internet purchases, this channel has become more important, accounting for 15% of distribution in 2018. The internet purchases are favored by measures such as mass sales promotions or new offers of added value such as free trials for 100 days, offered by various pure distributors of internet sales.

France is a highly concentrated market in which COFEL (Pikolin France) and Adova represent more than 55% of the market, with COFEL being the market leader with a market share of 30% (source: Xerfi report).

Thanks to the growth of the French market and to a lower commercial pressure by competitors, Grupo Pikolin has achieved an increase of 10% in revenues of 20195.

With respect to manufacturing technologies, sales in the French market are led by foam and latex mattresses, followed by spring mattresses.

5 Data as of 31 December 2019. It is placed on record that the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 have been neither prepared nor audited as at the date of this Base Informative Document,

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Spain

The economic crisis affected very strongly the Spanish market. There has as yet been no recovery of the maximum levels of mattress sales recorded in 2007 (3.5 million units), with sales for 2019 amounting to 1.7 million units, although the average price of mattresses has increased by 11% over the period 2010 to 2019, according to the GFK report.) Thanks to this price rebound, the mattresses sector in Spain recorded billings of approximately 830 million euros in 2019, as can be seen from the table set out below.

Units sold (Thousands) 2019 % vs. 2018 Mattresses 1.769 0,91% Pillows 3.860 3,10% Bases 1.229 2,08% Sales € million 830,7 0,33% Source: GFK Although in 2019 the Spanish market practically evened out at the level of sales, the sales of Grupo Pikolin grew by more than 8%.

As we can see in the following graph, Grupo Pikolin is one of the main competitors in Spain and Portugal. In 2019, it has maintained its leadership position with a 23% share of the Iberian mattresses market.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

It is noteworthy that the GFK report covers a broader range of products than that offered by Pikolin, which includes textiles, bed bases, mattresses and other accessories related to the sleep sector. According to internal data of Grupo Pikolin, and taking into account only the range of products and services in which the group competes, Grupo Pikolin achieved a market share of 28% in 2019.

In the Spanish market, furniture shops were the leading distributors of mattresses to households in 2019 in terms of both value and volume, followed by hypermarkets and specialists.

In Spain, mattress production was traditionally concentrated on the innerspring segment. Over the last ten years, the innerspring mattresses production decreased in comparison with production of foam mattresses. The share in the production of innerspring mattresses declined from 90% in 1997 to the 48.8% recorded for 2019, according to GFK’s data.

The distribution system of the sleep sector in Spain involves a limited number of participants, with 60% of the market being centered on just three players. The remaining 40% is divided up between international retailers, local distributors and the emerging Internet distributors. New consumer habits have favored the emergence of these new market players.

China

China’s mattress production capacity continues to increase very rapidly in recent years due to the fast growth of the domestic property market and the expansion of exports.

Mattress production in China has experienced double-digit growth rates in the last five years, with an average growth rate for the period 2014-2019 of 10% (source: IbisWorld “Mattress Manufacturing in China Report”).

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Thanks to the 11 billion dollars in sales generated by the mattresses industry in China, it has been, since 2011, the second country in terms of mattress production.

Considering the enormous capacity of the local market, mattress consumption continued to increase in 2017 by 9.7% (1% in 2016) (in US dollars), making China the second largest consumer of mattresses in the world, behind the US (source: ISPA).

Besides local consumption, China is the largest producer and exporter of mattresses in the world. In 2017, it exported mattresses valued at 1.1 billion million dolars, followed by Poland, Denmark and Belgium.

Brazil

Brazil is a market which has seen major growth in sales of bedding products in recent years and the economic expectation is that there will be further accelerated growth in sales. In 2019, the economy has been consolidated with a growth of 1.2%.

In 2018, mattress sales in Brazil amounted to 1 billion dollars, making it the third largest consumer and producer of mattresses in the world (according to CSIL). The Brazilian market is dominated by foam mattresses, which account for 83% of the total market (source: Grupo Pikolin internal estimates).

In terms of distribution channels, it is to be noted that a large proportion of sales are made through dedicated stores and franchises.

(iii) Industry trends

According to the World Mattress Industry (CSIL 2018), over the last decade, the most significant growth rates were registered by Asian countries, particularly China and Indonesia. Also some Central and Eastern European countries, including Russia, Poland and Romania, also recorded significant growth figures although they are still low mattress consumption markets, but with significant growth potential.

According to CSIL data, international trade in mattresses amounted to 4.677 billion dollars in 2018 and it is expected to reach 5.004 billion in 2019, with a ratio of exports to production of 14.6%, as compared with 12.7% in 2008.

The reasons behind the future growth in mattress exports are as follows:

- The opening-up of new mattress markets as well as the increasing role of emerging markets, not only in terms of production localization through mattress factories but also in terms of mattress consumption.

- Advances in vacuum packing and transport logistics have facilitated distribution, with the consequential increase in international trade in mattresses.

- New trends which reflect a greater awareness of the importance of sleep, linked to an increase in empirical evidence which relates sleep quality to a healthy lifestyle, are bringing about a shortening of the life cycle of mattresses.

The production of mattresses at the 29 largest manufacturers was 25 billion dollars, 63% of which were spring mattresses. The top exporting countries were China and Poland, followed by Denmark and Belgium.

(vi) International expansion

From a position of leadership in the Iberian Peninsula, Grupo Pikolin decided to expand into the French market in 2001 in order to achieve a leadership position in the south of Europe. Through the acquisition of the French company COFEL S.A.S. in 2009, Grupo Pikolin became the second largest player in the European market.

As market leader in Spain, Portugal and France, Grupo Pikolin decided to expand in 2011 its operations into the Asian market through the acquisition of Dunlopillo Holdings, with headquarters in Malaysia and with commercial operations in more than fifteen countries in Southeast Asia.

In 2016, Grupo Pikolin, in a continued effort to reinforce its international presence, speed up its expansion and increase its billings, entered into a joint venture with Sleep House Brazil. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement with Sleep House Brazil, Grupo Pikolin acquired 51% of a specialist chain, which was a leader in the Brazilian market and had 41 multi-brand stores in Sao Paulo.

In 2017, it executed the transfer of 50% of COFEL, S.A.S. to Steinhoff International Holdings N.V.

In 2018, it completed the acquisition of the Sleep House Brasil chain, purchasing the remaining 49% and thus consolidating its 100% stake in the company.

In 20197, Grupo Pikolin generated most of its consolidated sales in the Iberian Peninsula ( 49%, compared to 51% in 2018) and in France (33%,

just as in 2018,). Brazil’s contribution was maintained (9%; just as in 2018), and there was a slight increase in the participation of Asia (9%; compared to 8% in 2018).

With regard to the sales distribution by product, Grupo Pikolin has a highly diversified product portfolio including three different types of mattress (springs, springs and foam, and foam and latex) that represented, in 2019, 71% (71% in 2018) of sales in value terms; pillows represented 8% (8% in 2018) and different ranges of bases that entail 21% of sales (21% in 2018)..

Grupo Pikolin’s strategy focuses on strengthening its position in those markets that constitute the basis of its operations, continuing with its international expansion process at the same time.

(vii) Main strengths of Grupo Pikolin

The main strengths of Grupo Pikolin are as follows:

1. Market Leader in the Iberian Peninsula and in France. Number one in brand awareness in both markets.

Grupo Pikolin leads the bedding industry in the Iberian Peninsula and in France. The French market is highly concentrated: Grupo Pikolin and its main competitor (Adova) represented 53% of this market in terms of sales.

Grupo Pikolin is also the leader as concerns brand awareness in Spain and France (in France, brand is a key decision-making factor for customers).

2. Vertical integration enables Grupo Pikolin to control production and prices.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Grupo Pikolin is vertically integrated which enables it to control the production, distribution and marketing of its products.

Grupo Pikolin operates with ten factories: four in France, three in Spain, one in China, one in Vietnam and one in Brazil, and it has modern and efficient logistic platforms that won the 2014 Pilot Award (regional level), the 2014 and 2015 CEL Business Awards (Spanish level) and the 2016 ASSET Prize for Financial Excellence.

In 2017, for the third consecutive year, consumers awarded the “Best Product of the Year 2018” prize in the sleep products category to the smart mattress SmartPik!, the first “intelligent” mattress developed in Spain.

Vertical integration allows Grupo Pikolin to adapt to changes in market conditions and economic cycles, through the implementation of efficiency and cost control measures. This also enables Grupo Pikolin to have a very good knowledge of the market, to predict cycles and consumer trends and to adapt production accordingly.

With the recent opening of its two new factories in Spain and France, Grupo Pikolin has increased significantly its production capacity and levels of quality and productivity. In addition, the new foaming unit at its Zaragoza factory is making significant savings in terms of procurement costs and a new line of business.

3. Geographical diversification

Grupo Pikolin is geographically diversified, with most of its sales being generated in the European market. Spain and France are the principal markets in which the Issuer’s group operates, although diversification and international sales to both the Brazilian and the Asian markets are gaining importance.

France is the second most important country at European level in terms of mattress consumption according to CSIL 2018 and Grupo Pikolin is the leader in that market. Similarly, Brazil is the world’s third largest consumer of mattresses (source: CSIL). Through geographical diversification and an increase of international sales, Grupo Pikolin has been able manage its business in periods of uncertainty and has become a more efficient and stronger player.

4. Consolidated player with more than 70 years’ experience

Grupo Pikolin the second largest bedding group in Europe. Founded in 1948, Grupo Pikolin has succeeded in consolidating its position in the European market through both acquisitions and organic growth and has become a key player in this market.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Its track record and brand awareness place Grupo Pikolin in a leading position in the French and Iberian markets and consumers identify Grupo Pikolin with a “high-quality product”.

5. World mattress market with strong growth perspectives

According to CSIL, total mattress consumption in the 50 main markets reached USD 27.4 billion in 2017. The United States is the leader in mattress consumption, followed by China, Brazil, India, Germany and Canada.

According to CSIL, in 2018, in the United States alone, mattress manufacturers sold 38.7 million units, meaning revenues of approximately USD 8.2 million. The average price per unit decreased by 1.7%.

International trade in mattresses has grown significantly since 2007, when the market amounted to USD 2.4 billion, as compared with USD 5.0 billion in 20198 (USD 4.6 billion in 2018). Initially, mattresses were manufactured to be sold in local and neighboring markets. However, advances in vacuum packing of mattresses and in transport logistics have contributed to improve international trade in this type of products.

According to Xerfi, billings of 2.47 billion euros are forecast for the sleep sector in France in 2019. The Spanish mattress market has been severely affected during the economic crisis: in 2019, its sales amounted to 1.7 million mattresses, against 3.5 million in 2007. The Spanish market stayed level by unit sales, and was able to maintain the average price in 2019. Despite the slowdown of 2018, the sleep market is expected to resume its growth in the coming years to reach 2.4 million units in 2024.

6. Brands and exclusive patented technologies as a competitive advantage

Grupo Pikolin invested more than 3.1 million euros in R&D in 2019 (1.7 million in 2018). The Issuer has continuously improved its products to offer new and stronger benefits to consumers and higher- quality products.

Grupo Pikolin has brands and patented technologies that differentiate it from its current competitors and act as a barrier to entry for new competitors. Worth mentioning are the 76 industrial designs and 178 inventions registered with the Spanish Office of Patents and Trademarks in the name of Pikolin.

(viii) Agreements and strategic partnerships

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

(ii) the strategic alliance with Steinhoff International – COFEL in France.

With regard to distribution agreements, Grupo Pikolin has held the rights to the Serta brand in Europe since 1999. The Serta brand is owned by Serta Simmons, the leading sleep product group in the USA.

(ix) Declaration on the absence of significant changes in the Issuer's prospects

(i) Income statement

In 2017, the main economic aggregates of the Issuer were affected by the sale of 50% of the holding in COFEL, on 12 January 2017. In 2019, the consolidated sales of the group have increased by 9%. In addition, recurrent EBITDA has improved considerably both in nominal terms (+45%) and in relation to sales (+151 base percentage points) mainly due to (i) the progressive rise in sales prices implemented from mid-2018 and which continued in 2019, (ii) the normalization of the price of raw materials, and (iii) the industrial improvements at the new production plants.

With respect to the rolling fund, there has been a transfer of short-term financial assets to long-term, reducing the figure to 6.7 million euros in 2019, compared to 39 million euros in 2018. Regarding the group’s debt, there has been an important improvement in the ratio of NFD(2)/recurring EBITDA, being 2.59x (3.77x in 2018) mainly due to the improvement in recurring EBITDA.

Analysis of activity:

- Iberia: Sales have grown by 5%, despite the flat performance of the Spanish sleep products market. In 2019, a very substantial increase of recurring EBITDA (+64%) has been achieved, due mainly to the improvement in productivity at the new industrial plant in Zaragoza, and to the increase in sales price of the products offered by the Group.

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

- France: Increase of 10% in sales and of 7% in profit, thanks to the overall growth of the French market and a normalization of the increase in sales prices and a decrease in commercial pressure by its main competitor, Adova. In addition, the closure of the Langeac factory has reduced the production costs and, thus, the company’s profitability has improved.

- Brazil: In 2019, Grupo Pikolin has experienced a recovery of sales in the country, based mainly on the recovery of consumption, with sales at levels which are similar to 2017. Regarding the company’s return, the acquisition of 100% of Sleep House has given rise to a very important improvement in recurring EBITDA due to the organizational restructuring carried out.

- Asia: This is a market with enormous growth potential for Grupo Pikolin, accounting in 2019 for 9% of group sales. Sales in 2019, just as in the preceding year, have grown to double digits and the group has begun to have positive figures at the level of recurring EBITDA.

(ii) Financial structure

Grupo Pikolin’s gross financial debt has increased slightly (+2%) and it has managed to maintain the net financial debt. In fiscal year 2019, there has been an important deleveraging of the group, closing with a ratio of 2.59x the net financial debt over recurring EBITDA compared to 3.77x at 2018 year-end..

Grupo Pikolin’s diversification of funding sources is optimum, with a notable presence of non-bank debt (MARF bonds and commercial paper). The Issuer has a high degree of financial flexibility and autonomy, supported by its high capacity to access external financing sources.

In 2019, cash flow from operating activities has increased substantially, up to 8.4 million euros (+568%), due to the increased level of activity and the improvement in the group’s profitability.

With respect to investment activities, there has been a negative flow of 2.7 million euros, an 85% improvement with respect to the preceding year, due to the progressive normalization of investments after the strong investment in new factories in previous years, and the liquidation of financial investments.

As an overall result, there is a significant increase in Grupo Pikolin’s cash, i.e., 9.4 million, and a positive Free Cash Flow of 1.2 million.

in response to inquiries and requests for information to the MARF.

6. Maximum outstanding balance

The maximum amount of the commercial paper programme will be a nominal of fifty million euros (€50,000,000) (the “Commercial Paper Programme”).

This amount is understood to be the maximum outstanding amount to which the aggregate nominal value of the Commercial Paper in circulation—issued under this Commercial Paper Programme and admitted to the MARF by virtue of this Base Informative Document—shall be limited at any given point in time.

7. Description of the type and class of securities. Nominal value per unit

The Commercial Paper Notes are discounted securities that represent a debt for the Issuer, accrue interest and are reimbursable for their nominal value on maturity.

An ISIN code will be assigned to each issue of Commercial Paper with the same maturity.

Each Commercial Paper will have a nominal value of one hundred thousand euros (€100,000), meaning that the maximum number of securities in circulation at any given time cannot exceed five hundred (500).

8. Applicable legislation and jurisdiction governing the securities

The Commercial Paper will be issued in accordance with Spanish legislation applicable to the Issuer or to the Commercial Paper. More specifically, it is issued in accordance with Royal Legislative Decree 1/2010, of 2 July, which approves the consolidated Corporate Enterprises Act, the Securities Market Act, in their wording in force, and their respective implementing or concordant regulations.

requirements of issuers of securities admitted to trading on an official secondary market, as amended by Royal Decree 827/2017 of September 1.

10. Currency of the issue

The Commercial Paper to be issued under the aegis of the Commercial Paper Programme will be in euros.

11. Classification of the securities: order of priority

The Commercial Paper is secured by no in rem guarantees or third parties. The capital and interest of the Commercial Paper are secured on the Issuer's entire assets.

According to the seniority of debt-claims laid down in the Insolvency Law, in the event of the insolvency of the Issuer the Commercial Paper holders would be ranked behind preference creditors and on the same level as other common creditors, ahead of subordinated creditors (unless they can be classed as such under Article 92 of the Insolvency Act) and would not have any preference among themselves.

12. Descriptions of the rights inherent to the securities and the procedure for executing these rights. Methods and deadlines for payment of the securities and handover of the same

Pursuant to the currently applicable legislation, the Commercial Paper will afford the investor by which it is acquired no present and/or future voting rights over the Issuer.

The economic and financial rights of the investor associated to the acquisition and holding of the Commercial Paper will be those arising from the conditions of the interest rate, yields and redemption prices with which they are issued and which are set out in sections 13, 14, and 16.

The date of payment for the Commercial Paper to be issued under the aegis of the Commercial Paper Programme will be the same date as the issue itself, and the effective value of the Commercial Paper will be paid to the Issuer by the Manager Entities (as defined in section 15) or by the investors, as the case may be, through the Paying Agent (as defined in section 15), (as paying agent) into the account specified by this party on each date of issue.

The Manager Entities or the Issuer, as appropriate, could issue a nominative and non-negotiable certificate of acquisition. This document will provisionally substantiate the subscription of the Commercial Paper until the appropriate book entry is made, and will grant the holder the right to request the pertinent certificate of legitimation.

Similarly, the Issuer will notify the payment to MARF and to IBERCLEAR

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

through the corresponding certificate.

13. Date of issue. Commercial Paper Programme validity

The Commercial Paper Programme will be in force for one (1) year from the date of admission of this Base Informative Document on the MARF.

As this is a continuous type of Commercial Paper Programme, the Commercial Paper may be issued, subscribed and admitted on any day during the validity period of the same. However, the Issuer reserves the right not to issue new securities when it deems such action appropriate, pursuant to the cash needs of the Issuer or because it has found more advantageous conditions of funding.

The issue date and disbursement date of the Commercial Paper will be stipulated in the complementary certificates corresponding to each issue. The date of issue, disbursement and admission of the Commercial Paper may not be subsequent to the expiry date of this Base Informative Document.

14. Nominal interest rate. Indication of the yield and calculation method

The annual nominal interest rate for the Commercial Paper will be set in each issue. The Commercial Paper will be issued under the aegis of the Commercial Paper Programme at the interest rate agreed by and between the Manager Entities (as defined under point 15 below) or the investors and the Issuer. The yield will be implicit in the nominal value of the Commercial paper, to be reimbursed on the maturity date.

The interest rate at which the Manager Entities transfers the Commercial Paper to third parties will be the rate freely agreed with the interested investors.

As these are discounted securities with an implicit rate of return, the cash amount to be paid out by the investor varies in accordance with the issue interest rate and period agreed.

Thus the cash amount of the Commercial Paper may be calculated by applying the following formulas:

When securities are issued for a maximum term of 365 days:

N E = n 1 + i 365 When securities are issued for more than 365 days:

N E = (1 + i)n/365

Whereby:

This is an English version for informative purposes only of a document drafted in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

N= nominal amount of the commercial paper

E = cash amount of the commercial paper

n = number of days of the period to maturity

i = nominal interest rate, expressed as an integer value

A table is included to help the investor, specifying the cash value tables for different rates of interest and redemption periods, and there is also a column showing the variation of the effective value of the commercial paper by increasing the period of this by 10 days.

Given the diversity of the issue rates that are forecast to be applied throughout the term of the Commercial Paper Programme, we cannot predetermine the resultant return for the investor (IRR). In any case, it will be determined, for Commercial Paper up to 365 days, with the formula detailed below:

in which:

IRR= Effective annual interest rate, expressed as an integer value

N= Nominal amount of the commercial paper

E = Cash amount at the time of subscription or acquisition

d = Number of calendar days between the date of issue (inclusive) and the date of maturity (exclusive)

IRR will be the annual interest of the commercial paper described in this section for periods of time longer than 365 days.

16. Redemption price and provisions concerning maturity of the securities. Date and methods of redemption

The Commercial Paper to be issued under the aegis of the Commercial Paper Programme will be redeemed for their nominal value on the date given in the document proving acquisition. Where appropriate, the corresponding withholding at source will be applicable.

As they are expected to be included for trading on the MARF, the redemption of the Commercial Paper will take place pursuant to the operating rules of the clearance system of said market. To this end, on the maturity date, the nominal amount of the Commercial Paper will be paid to the legitimate holder of the same. The Paying Agent shall be the entity in charge of making the payment and it accepts no liability whatsoever vis-à-vis reimbursement by the Issuer of the Commercial Paper on the maturity thereof.

If reimbursement falls on a non-business day in accordance with the TARGET 2 calendar (Trans European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System), reimbursement will be deferred to the first subsequent business day without such event having any effect whatsoever on the amount to be paid.

17. Valid deadline within which reimbursement of the principal may be claimed

20. Restrictions on the free transferability of the securities

In accordance with current legislation, there are no specific or general restrictions on the free transferability of the Commercial Paper to be issued.

21. Taxation of the securities

In accordance with the provisions set out in current legislation, the Commercial Paper is rated as financial assets with implicit returns. Income from the Commercial Paper is considered to be capital gains and subject to personal income tax (“IRPF”), corporate income tax (“IS”) and nonresident income tax (“IRNR”). The tax is collected through interim withholdings at source, under the terms and conditions set out in the respective regulatory laws and other standards that implement said laws.

For illustrative purposes only, the applicable regulations will be:

- Law 35/2006, of 28 November, governing Personal Income Tax and partially amending the laws on corporate income tax, nonresident income tax and wealth ax (“IRPF Law”), as well as those contained in articles 74 et seq of Royal Decree 439/2007, of 30 March, approving the Personal Income Tax Regulations, and amending the Regulations on Pension Funds and Plans approved through Royal Decree 304/2004, of 20 February (“IRPF Regulation”).

- Corporate Income Tax Law 27/2014, of 27 November(“LIS”) as well as articles 60 et seq of the Corporate Income Tax Regulations approved through Royal Decree 634/2015, of 10 July (“IS Regulation”).

- Royal Legislative Decree 5/2004, of 5 March, approving the revised Nonresident Income Tax Law (“IRNR Law”) and those contained in Royal Decree 1776/2004 of 30 July 2004 approving the Nonresident Income Tax Regulations (“IRNR Regulation”).

All this is without prejudice to any provincial tax regimes which may be applicable, particularly those corresponding to the historic territories of the Basque Country and of the Regional Community of Navarre, or any other regimes that could be applicable due to the specific characteristics of the investor.

As a general rule, in order to dispose of or obtain reimbursement of financial assets with capital gains that are subject to a withholding at source at the time of transfer, redemption or reimbursement, prior acquisition of the same must be substantiated through a notary public or by financial institutions obliged to perform withholdings. The price of the transaction must also be certified. The financial institutions through which the payment of interest is made or which intervene in the transfer, redemption or reimbursement of securities are obliged to calculate the returns attributable to the securities holder and notify this to both the holder of the security as well as to the Tax Authorities. The Tax Authorities must also be notified of those persons taking part in the aforementioned transactions.

Ownership of the Commercial Paper will likewise be subject to Wealth Tax and the Inheritance and Gift Tax on the date of accrual of said taxes, by virtue of the provisions set out in current regulations in each case.

In any case, given that this summary is not a thorough description of all tax considerations, we recommend that investors interested in acquiring the Commercial Paper to be issued check with their tax advisors or lawyers who could give them personalized advice in view of their specific circumstances. Likewise, investors and potential investors should take into consideration potential changes in legislation or its criteria of interpretation.

Investors that are individuals with tax residence in Spanish territory

Personal Income Tax

In general, capital gains obtained from investments in Commercial Paper by individuals that are resident on Spanish territory are subject to a withholding at source, as interim payment of personal income tax, at the current rate of 19%. The withholding carried out will be deductible from the personal income tax amount, giving rise, where appropriate, to the tax rebates provided for in current legislation.

Furthermore, the difference between the value of subscription or acquisition of the asset and its transfer, redemption, swap or reimbursement value will be considered as an implicit capital gains return and will be added to the taxable base for the financial year in which the sale, redemption or reimbursement takes place. Tax will be paid at the rate in force at any given time, which is currently 19% up to €6,000, 21% from €6,000.01 to €50,000 euros and 23% from €50,000.01 upwards.

In order to carry out the transfer or reimbursement of the assets, the prior acquisition of the same must be certified by notaries public or financial institutions obliged to perform the withholding, and the price at which the transaction was carried out must be evidenced. The issuer cannot perform reimbursement when the holder fails to substantiate such status through the

opportune certificate of acquisition.

In the case of returns obtained through transfer, the financial institution acting on behalf of the transferring party will be obliged to make the withholding at source.

In the case of returns obtained through reimbursement, the entity obliged to make the withholding will be the issuer or the financial institution responsible for the transaction.

Similarly, to the extent that the securities are subject to application of the tax regime set out in Additional Provision One of Law 10/2014, of 26 June, on the organization, supervision and solvency of credit institutions (“Law 10/2014”), the reporting regime set out in article 44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007, of 27 July, will apply pursuant to the wording given in Royal Decree 1145/2011, of 29 July.

Wealth Tax

Investors who are individuals resident in Spanish territory and hold securities representing the transfer to third parties of own capital traded on organized markets are liable for Wealth Tax ("IP") on their total net assets as at December 31 of each calendar year, irrespective of where their properties are located or where their rights can be exercised.

This tax is levied in accordance with the provisions of the IP Law which, for these purposes, establishes a minimum exempt amount per taxpayer of EUR 700,000 and a scale of marginal tax rates which range from 0.2 percent to 2,5 percent, without prejudice to the specific legislation approved, where appropriate, by each Autonomous Community.

In accordance with subarticle 2 of the single article of Royal Decree-Law 13/2011, of 16 September, reinstating wealth tax, amended by article 3 of Royal Decree-Law 18/2019, of 28 December, a 100% reduction would apply to the wealth tax payable, starting on 1 January 2021, unless the application of this reduction is postponed or repealed as in previous years.

Inheritance and Gift Tax

Individuals resident in Spain that acquire the Commercial Paper or rights over it through inheritance, bequest or gift will be subject to the tax in accordance with state, regional and local regulations that apply according to the usual place of residence of the testator or recipient, if he was resident in Spain, or of the acquirer, if the testator did not reside in Spain, in acquisitions mortis causa, and according to the place of residence of the recipient, in the case of inter vivos acquisitions.

Investors that are entities with tax residence on Spanish territory

Corporate Income Tax

The profits obtained by Corporate Tax taxpayers when said profits arise from these financial assets are exempt from the obligation of making the withholding providing that the commercial paper (i) are represented by book entries and (ii) are traded on a Spanish official secondary market of securities, or on the MARF. Nonetheless, credit institutions and other financial institutions that formalize contracts with their clients for accounts based on financial asset transactions will be obligated to withhold on the income obtained by the institutions that hold those accounts. In case of being subject to withholding at source performed as an interim payment of Corporation Tax, the withholding will be made at the current rate of 19%. The interim withholding carried out will be deductible from the Corporate Tax amount payable.

The procedure to introduce the exemption described in the previous paragraph will be the one set out in the Order of 22 December 1999.

The financial institutions that take part in the transfer or reimbursement operations will be obliged to calculate the capital gains attributable to the securities holder and to notify this to both the holder as well as the Tax Authorities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the securities are subject to application of the regime set out in Additional Provision One of Law 10/2014, the procedure set out in article 44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007, of 27 July, will be applicable in accordance with the wording given through Royal Decree 1145/2011, of 29 July.

Wealth Tax

Legal entities are not subject to Wealth Tax.

Inheritance and Gift Tax

Legal entities do not pay Inheritance and Gift Tax.

Investors that are not resident on Spanish territory

Nonresident income tax for investors not resident in Spain with a permanent establishment

Nonresident investors with a permanent establishment in Spain will be subject to a tax regime similar to the one described for investors that are legal entities resident in Spain.

Nonresident income tax for investors not resident in Spain without permanent establishment

To the extent that the provisions set out in Additional Provision One of Law 10/2014 are met and that the nonresident investor without permanent establishment grants its condition, the returns of its Commercial Paper will be exempt from IRNR, on the same terms as those established for income derived from public debt securities according to article 14.1.d) of the IRNR Law, regardless of the place of residence.

In the Commercial Paper issued with a redemption period of 12 months or less, in order for that exemption to apply, the procedure set forth in article 44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007, of 27 July according to the wording given to it by Royal Decree 1145/2011, of 29 July must be followed.

In any case, the interest and other income derived from the transfer to third parties of own capital, obtained other than through a permanent establishment, by residents of another Member State of the European Union or by permanent establishments of those residents located in another Member State of the European Union, will be exempt.

If no exemption applies, the income resulting from the difference between the value of redemption, transfer, and reimbursement or swap of the Commercial Paper issued under the aegis of the Commercial Paper Programme and their subscription or acquisition value, obtained by investors without tax residence in Spain, these will be subject to a tax rate of 19%, without prejudice to what is established in the tax treaties signed by Spain.

Wealth Tax

Without prejudice to the provisions set out in the treaties to avoid double taxation, in general those individuals that do not have a usual place of residence in Spain pursuant to the provisions set out in article 9 of the IRPF Law and who, at 31 December of each calendar year, own properties that are either situated in Spain or with executable rights over the same, are subject to Wealth Tax, without prejudice to any applicable exemptions.

Notwithstanding the above, following the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 3 September 2014 (Case C-127/12), nonresident taxpayers that are resident in a Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area will be entitled to the application of the regulations approved by the Autonomous Region in which their most valuable assets and rights, on which the tax is imposed, are situated, because they are located, may be exercised or must be fulfilled in Spanish territory.

to the wealth tax payable, starting on 1 January 2021, unless the application of this reduction is postponed or repealed as in previous years

Inheritance and Gift Tax

Pursuant to Law 29/1987, of 18 December, governing Inheritance and Gift Tax, individuals not resident in Spain that acquire the securities or rights over the securities through inheritance, bequest or gift and who are resident in a country with which Spain has a treaty to avoid double taxation vis-à-vis this tax will be subject to taxation pursuant to the provisions set out in the respective treaty. In order to apply the provisions set out in this treaty, it will be necessary to prove tax residence through the corresponding certificate validly issued by the tax authorities in the investor’s country of residence, expressly placing on record their residence for the purposes set out in the treaty.

If a treaty to avoid double taxation is not applicable, individuals not resident in Spain will be subject to Inheritance and Gift Tax pursuant to state laws. The tax rate will range between 0 and 81.6%.

Notwithstanding the above, the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 3 September 2014 (Case C-127/12) found that the Kingdom of Spain had breached Community law by allowing differences to be established in the tax treatment of donations and inheritances involving parties not resident in Spain. In order to eliminate cases of discrimination, the law on this tax was amended to introduce a number of rules that would allow the full equality of tax treatment in the discriminatory situations described by the Court. Accordingly, the application of the tax benefits approved by certain Autonomous Regions to residents of the European Union or the European Economic Area will be possible.

Moreover, the Supreme Court has handed down various judgments (the first of them being dated 19 February 2018, appeal number 62/2017) determining that persons resident outside the European Union and the European Economic Area can also benefit from the autonomous community inheritance and gift tax reductions just as any Spanish citizen or resident in the European Union and the European Economic Area. The Court held that the contrary would constitute an infringement of the free circulation of capital which, as the Court of Justice of the European Union has repeatedly stated, applies to third countries. The Directorate-General of Taxes has recently made the same interpretation in its binding rulings V3151-18 and V3193-18.

In this regard, to date, the national legislation of the tax has not been amended to include the criterion of the Supreme Court expressed in those judgments, which constitute case law.

However, the Directorate-General of Taxes, in binding rulings V3151-18 and V3193-18, have admitted de facto the possibility for this group of taxpayers

to elect to also apply the legislation of the autonomous communities.

Indirect taxation on the acquisition and transfer of the securities issued

The acquisition and, where appropriate, subsequent transfer of the Commercial Paper is exempt from the Tax on Onerous Property Transfers and Documented Legal Acts (Stamp Duty) and VAT under the terms set out in article 314 of the Securities Market Act and concordant articles of the laws that regulate the aforementioned taxes.
