The summary for this series of Warrants is annexed to these Final Terms.
SUMMARY
This section comprises a summary in the format, and with the content, required by Article 5(2) of the Prospectus
Directive.
Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as elements (Elements). These Elements are set out in
Sections A to E below (and numbered A.1 to E.7). This summary contains all the Elements required for a summary
for the type of securities offered under this Base Prospectus and the type of issuer. Because some Elements are not
required, there are gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may need to be
inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and the type of issuer, it is possible that no relevant
information can be given regarding the Element, in which case the Element shall be described as “not applicable”.
Section A – Introduction and warnings
A.1 This summary must be read as an introduction to this Base Prospectus. Any decision to invest in the Warrants should be
based on a consideration of the Base Prospectus as a whole, including any documents incorporated by reference. Where a
claim relating to the information contained in this Base Prospectus is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might,
under the national legislation of Member States, be required to bear the costs of translating the Base Prospectus before the
legal proceedings are initiated. Civil liability attaches only to those persons who have tabled the summary, including any
translation thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other
parts of the Base Prospectus or it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the Base Prospectus, key
information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest in the Warrants.
A.2 Consent by the Issuer will be required for the use of this Base Prospectus in relation to any subsequent resale or final
placement of the Warrants by any financial intermediary.

Section D – Risks
D.2 Key risks
regarding the
Issuer and the
Guarantor
The following key risks affect the Guarantor and, indirectly, the Issuer:
Market Risk: The Guarantor's results of operations may be materially affected by market
fluctuations and by global and economic conditions and other factors. Holding large and
concentrated positions may expose the Guarantor to losses. These factors may result in losses for
a position or portfolio owned by the Guarantor.
Credit Risk: The Guarantor is exposed to the risk that third parties that are indebted to it will not
perform their obligations, as well as that a default by a large financial institution could adversely
affect financial markets. Such factors give rise to the risk of loss arising when a borrower,
counterparty or issuer does not meet its financial obligations to the Guarantor.
Operational Risk: The Guarantor is subject to the risk of loss, or of damage to its reputation,
resulting from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or from external events (e.g.
fraud, theft, legal and compliance risks, cyber attacks or damage to physical assets). The
Guarantor may incur operational risk across the full scope of its business activities, including
revenue-generating activities (e.g. sales and trading) and support and control groups (e.g.
information technology and trade processing).
Liquidity and Funding Risk: Liquidity is essential to the Guarantor’s businesses and the Guarantor
relies on external sources to finance a significant portion of its operations. The Guarantor’s
borrowing costs and access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on its credit ratings.
The Guarantor is a holding company and depends on payments from its subsidiaries. Further, the
Guarantor’s liquidity and financial condition have in the past been, and in the future could be,
adversely affected by U.S. and international markets and economic conditions. As a result of the
foregoing, there is a risk that the Guarantor will be unable to finance its operations due to a loss of
access to the capital markets or difficulty in liquidating its assets; or be unable to meet its financial
obligations without experiencing significant business disruption or reputational damage that may
threaten its viability as a going concern.
Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Risk: The Guarantor is subject to the risk of legal or regulatory
sanctions, material financial loss including fines, penalties, judgments, damages and/or
settlements, or loss to reputation it may suffer as a result of its failure to comply with laws,
regulations, rules, related self-regulatory organisation standards and codes of conduct applicable
to its business activities. The Guarantor is also subject to contractual and commercial risk, such as
the risk that a counterparty's performance obligations will be unenforceable. Additionally, the
Guarantor is subject to anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules and regulations.
Further, in today's environment of rapid and possibly transformational regulatory change, the
Guarantor also views regulatory change as a component of legal, regulatory and compliance risk.
Risk Management: The Guarantor's risk management strategies, models and processes may not be
fully effective in mitigating its risk exposures in all market environments or against all types of
risk.
Competitive Environment: The Guarantor faces strong competition from other financial services
firms, which could lead to pricing pressures that could materially adversely affect its revenue and
profitability. Further, automated trading markets may adversely affect the Guarantor's business
and may increase competition (for example by putting increased pressure on bid-offer spreads,
commissions, markups or comparable fees). Finally, the Guarantor's ability to retain and attract
qualified employees is critical to the success of its business and the failure to do so may materially
adversely affect its performance.

D.6 Key information
on the key risks
that are specific to
the Warrants
The Warrants are being issued with the intention that they will be purchased only by corporations,
partnerships and other entities or individuals having such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Warrants, who are experienced in investing in derivative instruments and who are familiar with
secondary market trading in instruments such as the Warrants. Prospective investors should
conduct independent investigation and analysis regarding the Warrants and the other assets on
which the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor to which the value of the Warrants relate as
they deem appropriate.
The price of the Warrants may fall in value and investors may lose the value of their entire
investment if, among other reasons:
the value of the relevant underlying basis of reference does not move in the anticipated
direction;
the Issuer and the Guarantor are unable to pay any amounts due under the Warrants;
the price and/or value of the assets underlying the Warrants are influenced by the
political, financial and economic stability of the country and/or region in which it is
incorporated or has a place of business;
the Guarantor’s credit rating has fallen due to a perception of a fall in the Guarantor’s
creditworthiness; or
adjustments to the Warrants made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the terms of the
Warrants.
An investment in Warrants linked to Shares is not directly an investment in the Shares.
Warrantholders will not have any rights in relation to the underlying assets nor will it have any
recourse to the relevant issuer of the underlying Shares. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor has
an ability to control or predict any actions of the issuer of the underlying Shares
The Issuer may limit the number of Warrants that are exercisable on any date (other than the final
exercise date).
The Issuer shall have a right, upon giving sufficient written notice, to terminate all the Warrants
in the relevant series prior to the Expiration Date. Any payment a Warrantholder is entitled to
receive following such a termination may be less than what they could have received had the
Warrants been held to the Exercise Date or Expiration Date (as the case may be).
The terms of the Warrants may be amended or the Warrants may be terminated or suspended, in
each case by the Issuer if an Additional Disruption Event has occurred.
