Each of the CGMHI Base Prospectus and the CGMFL Base Prospectus has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland (the Central Bank), as competent authority (the Competent Authority) under Directive 2003/71/EC (the Prospectus Directive) as amended (which includes the amendments made by Directive 2010/73/EU (the 2010 PD Amending Directive) to the extent that such amendments have been implemented in a relevant Member State of the European Economic Area). The Central Bank only approves the Base Prospectus as meeting the requirements imposed under Irish and EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Directive. An electronic copy of this Base Prospectus will be published on the Central Bank's web-site at www.centralbank.ie. Such approval relates only to Warrants which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC (the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive). However, there can be no assurance that such applications will be approved or that, if approved, any such approval will be given within a specified timeframe. Application will be made to the Irish Stock Exchange for the Warrants issued during the period of twelve months after the date of this Base Prospectus to be admitted to the official list (the Official List) and to trading on its regulated market. The Central Bank may, at the request of the relevant Issuer, send to a competent authority of another Member State of the European Economic Area (i) a copy of this Base Prospectus, (ii) a certificate of approval pursuant to Article 18 of the Prospectus Directive attesting that this Base Prospectus has been drawn up in accordance with the Prospectus Directive and (iii) if so required by the relevant Member State, a translation of the Summary set out herein. The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive only applies to Warrants which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area and/or offered to the public in the European Economic Area other than in circumstances where an exemption is available under Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive (as implemented in the relevant Member State(s)). References in this Base Prospectus to Exempt Warrants are to Warrants for which no prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus Directive. The Central Bank has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with Exempt Warrants. Each Tranche is either subject to a Final Terms document (the Final Terms and reference to the applicable Final Terms shall be construed accordingly) or, in the case of Exempt Warrants, a pricing supplement (the Pricing Supplement and references to the applicable Pricing Supplement shall be construed accordingly). As used herein, Issue Terms means either (i) where the Warrants are not Exempt Warrants, the applicable Final Terms or (ii) where the Warrants are Exempt Warrants, the applicable Pricing Supplement, and references should be construed accordingly. 2 References in this Base Prospectus to Warrants being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Warrants are intended to be admitted to trading on the Irish Stock Exchange's regulated market and are intended to be listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange. As specified in the applicable Final Terms, an issue of Warrants may be listed and admitted to trading, as the case may be, on the Irish Stock Exchange and/or listed and admitted to trading on any other regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Manager. As specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, an issue of Warrants may or may not be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on any stock exchange or market other than an admission to trading on a regulated market for the purpose of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Manager. In addition, application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange for the approval of the CGMHI Base Prospectus and the CGMFL Base Prospectus as Base Listing Particulars (the CGMHI Base Listing Particulars and the CGMFL Base Listing Particulars, respectively, and together, the Base Listing Particulars). Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange for Warrants issued during the 12 months from the date of the Base Listing Particulars to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the Global Exchange Market (the Global Exchange Market) which is the exchange regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange. The Global Exchange Market is not a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive.
