Notes due 2025 (the "Notes") Guaranteed by Qatar National Bank (Q.P.S.C.) under the U.S.$17,500,000,000 Medium Term Note Programme Issue Price: 100 per cent. Issue Date: 17 June 2020 This information package includes the prospectus dated 18 March 2020 and the supplement thereto dated 14 April 2020 in relation to the U.S.$17,500,000,000 Medium Term Note Programme of QNB Finance Ltd (the " Issuer ") (together, the "Prospectus ") and the Final Terms dated 7 June 2020 in respect of the Notes (the " Final Terms ", and together with the Prospectus, the " Information Package "). The Notes will be issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by Qatar National Bank (Q.P.S.C.). Application will be made by the Issuer for the Notes to be listed on (i) the Taipei Exchange ("TPEx") in the Republic of China (the "ROC") and (ii) the Regulated Market of the London Stock Exchange. The Notes will be listed on TPEx pursuant to the applicable rules of TPEx. The effective date of the listing and trading of the Notes is on or about 17 June 2020. TPEx is not responsible for the content of the Information Package and no representation is made by TPEx as to the accuracy or completeness of the Information Package. TPEx expressly disclaims any and all liability for any losses arising from, or as a result of the reliance on, all or part of the contents of this Information Package. The admission to listing and trading of the Notes on TPEx shall not be taken as an indication of the merits of the Issuer or the Notes. The Notes have not been, and shall not be, offered, sold or re-sold, directly or indirectly, to investors other than "professional investors" as defined under Paragraph 1 of Article 2-1 of the Taipei Exchange Rules Governing Management of Foreign Currency Denominated International Bonds of the ROC. Purchasers of the Notes are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the Notes except by transfer to a professional investor. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Securities Act "). Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined under the Securities Act), except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. There are no manufacturers for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II "). Any person offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor ") should consider (i) the target market for the Notes to be eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II, and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients to be appropriate. However, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market) and determining appropriate distribution channels. ROC TAXATION The following is a summary of certain taxation provisions under ROC law and is based on current law and practice and that the Notes will be issued, offered, sold and re-sold, directly or indirectly, to professional investors as defined under Paragraph 1 of Article 2-1 of the Taipei Exchange Rules Governing Management of Foreign Currency Denominated International Bonds of the ROC only. It does not purport to be comprehensive and does not constitute legal or tax advice. Investors (particularly those subject to special tax rules, such as banks, dealers, insurance companies and tax-exempt entities) should consult with their own tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes. Investors should appreciate that, as a result of changing law or practice, the tax consequences may be otherwise than as stated below. Interest on the Notes As the Issuer of the Notes is not an ROC statutory tax withholder, there is no ROC withholding tax on the interest or deemed interest to be paid by the Issuer on the Notes. Payments of any interest or deemed interest under the Notes to an ROC individual holder are not subject to ROC income tax as such payments received by him/her are not considered to be ROC sourced income. However, such holder must include the interest or deemed interest received in calculating his/her basic income for the purpose of calculating his/her alternative minimum tax (" AMT "), unless the sum of the interest or deemed interest and other non-ROC sourced income received by such holder and the person(s) who is (are) required to jointly file the ROC income tax return in a calendar year is below $1 million New Taiwan Dollars (" NT$ "). If the amount of the AMT exceeds the annual income tax calculated pursuant to the ROC Income Basic Tax Act (also known as the AMT Act), the excess becomes such holder's AMT payable. ROC corporate holders must include any interest or deemed interest receivable under the Notes as part of their taxable income and pay income tax at a flat rate of 20 per cent. (unless the total taxable income for a fiscal year is NT$120,000 or under), as they are subject to income tax on their worldwide income on an accrual basis. The AMT is not applicable. Sale of the Notes In general, the sale of corporate bonds or financial bonds is subject to 0.1 per cent. securities transaction tax ("STT ") on the transaction price. However, Article 2-1 of the Securities Transaction Tax Act prescribes that STT will cease to be levied on the sale of corporate bonds and financial bonds from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2026. Therefore, the sale of the Notes will be exempt from STT if the sale is conducted on or before 31 December 2026. Starting from 1 January 2027, any sale of the Notes will be subject to STT at 0.1 per cent. of the transaction price, unless otherwise provided by the tax laws that may be in force at that time. Capital gains generated from the sale of bonds are exempt from ROC income tax. Accordingly, ROC individual or corporate holders are not subject to ROC income tax on any capital gains generated from the sale of the Notes. In addition, ROC individual holders are not subject to AMT on any capital gains generated from the sale of the Notes. However, ROC corporate holders should include such capital gains in calculating their basic income for the purpose of calculating their AMT. If the amount of the AMT exceeds the annual income tax calculated pursuant to the ROC Income Basic Tax Act, the excess becomes the ROC corporate holders' AMT payable. Capital losses, if any, incurred from the sale of the Notes by such holders could be carried over 5 years to offset against capital gains of same category for the purposes of calculating their AMT. Non-ROC corporate holders with a fixed place of business (e.g., a branch) or a business agent in the ROC are not subject to income tax on any capital gains generated from the sale of the Notes. However, their fixed place of business or business agent should include any such capital gains in calculating their basic income for the purpose of calculating AMT. As to non-ROC corporate holders without a fixed place of business and a business agent in the ROC, they are not subject to income tax or AMT on any capital gains generated from the sale of the Notes. ROC SETTLEMENT AND TRADING The Issuer has not entered into any settlement agreement with Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (" TDCC ") and has no intention to do so. In the future, if the Issuer enters into a settlement agreement with TDCC, an investor, if it has a securities book-entry account with a Taiwan securities broker and a foreign currency deposit account with a Taiwanese bank, may settle the Notes through the account of TDCC with Euroclear Bank SA/NV (" Euroclear ") or Clearstream Banking S.A.
