The Programme provides that Exempt Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Programme also permits Exempt Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading on a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC) in the European Economic Area and/or quotation by any competent authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system.

The ratings assigned by Moody’s Singapore have been endorsed by Moody’s in accordance with the CRA Regulation. Each of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch is established in the European Union (EU) and is registered under the CRA Regulation. Neither the Notes nor the guarantee of the Notes (the Guarantee) have been or will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any U.S. state securities laws and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or the benefit of, U.S. persons unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available and the offer or sale is made in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other jurisdiction. The Notes are being offered and sold outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S (Regulation S) under the Securities Act and within the United States only (i) to persons who are both “qualified institutional buyers” (QIBs) in reliance on Rule 144A (Rule 144A) under the Securities Act and “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), and the rules and regulations thereunder (each a QP) or (ii) to persons who are both “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) that are institutions (Institutional Accredited Investors) and who execute and deliver an IAI Investment Letter (as defined in “Terms and Conditions of the Notes”) in which they agree to purchase the Notes for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof and QPs. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor has registered and neither intends to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(7) thereof. See “Form of the Notes” for a description of the manner in which Notes will be issued. Registered Notes are subject to certain restrictions on transfer, see “Subscription and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions”. Although the Issuer and the Guarantor will be a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule, neither the Notes nor the Guarantees should constitute an “ownership interest” as that term is used in the Volcker Rule, in a covered fund. However, the general effects of the Volcker Rule remain uncertain and there can be no assurance that the features of the Notes will result in the Notes not being characterised as “ownership interests” in the Issuer or that the features of the Guarantees will result in the Guarantees not being characterised as “ownership interests” in the Guarantor. See “Risk Factors -- The Issuer and the Guarantor will be a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule, which could negatively affect the liquidity and the value of the Notes”.
