The Notes will be issued by Government of the Emirate of Sharjah acting through the Sharjah Finance Department (the "Issuer"). Application is expected to be made to Euronext Dublin by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for the Notes to be listed on its Official List and admitted to trading on its regulated market with effect from 28 July 2020. Application is expected to be made by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for the Notes to be listed on the Official List of the DFSA and admitted to trading on Nasdaq Dubai. Applicationwill be made by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for the listing and trading of the Notes on the Taipei Exchange (the "TPEx") in the Republic of China. The Notes will be traded on the TPEx pursuant to the applicable rules of the TPEx. The effective date of listing of the Notes on the TPEx is on or about 28 July 2020. None of the TPEx, the CBI, Euronext Dublin, the DFSA and Nasdaq Dubai is responsible for the content of the Information Package and no representation is made by the TPEx, the CBI, Euronext Dublin, the DFSA or Nasdaq Dubai to the accuracy or completeness of the Information Package. The TPEx, the CBI, Euronext Dublin, the DFSA and Nasdaq Dubai 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. None of the admission to the listing and trading of the Notes on the TPEx, the listing on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and admission to the trading on the regulated market of Euronext or the listing on the DFSA Official List of the DFSA and admission to the trading on Nasdaq Dubai shall be taken as an indication of the merits of the Issuer or the Notes. REPUBLIC OF CHINA SELLING RESTRICTION 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 Republic of China (the "TPEx Rules"). Purchasers of the Notes are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the Notes except by transfer to the aforementioned professional investors. REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAXATION The following summary of certain taxation provisions under the law of Republic of China (the "ROC") 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 TPEx Rules 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. Interest on the Notes As the Issuer is not an ROC statutory tax withholder, there is no ROC withholding tax on the interest or deemed interest to be paid 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 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 ROC income tax on their worldwide income on an accrual basis. The AMT is not applicable. Non-ROC corporate holders are not subject to income tax or AMT on any interest or deemed interest receivable or received under the Notes. Sale of the Notes In general, the sale of corporate bonds, financial bonds or other securities for public offering approved by the government of the ROC 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. Such Article 2-1 applies, mutatis mutandis, to the sale of foreign currency denominated bonds issued by foreign governments and approved by the government of the ROC for public offering. Accordingly, 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 or other governmental orders 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 and 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 of income for the purposes of calculating their AMT. Non-ROC corporate holders are not subject to ROC income tax on any capital gains generated from the sale of the Notes. However, for non-ROC corporate holders with a fixed place of business (e.g., a branch) or a business agent in the ROC, 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. 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 S.A./N.V.
