Delivery of the Global Bonds is expected on or about November 17, 2021, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Global Bonds (“T+5”). Under Rule 15c6–1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Global Bonds prior to the Settlement Date may be required, by virtue of the fact that the Global Bonds initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Global Bonds who wish to trade the Global Bonds prior to the Settlement Date should consult their own advisor.
Any distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”) (for the purposes of this paragraph, a “distributor”) subsequently offering, selling or recommending the bonds is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the bonds and determining the appropriate distribution channels for the purposes of the MiFID II product governance rules under Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 (“Delegated Directive”). Neither Peru nor any of the underwriters make any representations or warranties as to a distributor’s compliance with the Delegated Directive.
This Pricing Supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of securities in any Member State of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities. The expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded).
The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in any Member State of the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, “IDD”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. No key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
3
Each person in the EEA who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any securities under, the offers to the public contemplated in this Pricing Supplement, or to whom the securities are otherwise made available, will be deemed to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and agreed to and with each underwriter and Peru that it and any person on whose behalf it acquires securities is not a “retail investor” (as defined above).
Any distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK Product Governance Rules”) (for the purposes of this paragraph, a “distributor”) subsequently offering, selling or recommending the bonds is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the bonds and determining the appropriate distribution channels for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Rules. Neither Peru nor any of the underwriters make any representations or warranties as to a distributor’s compliance with the UK Product Governance Rules.
This Pricing Supplement has been prepared on the basis that the requirement under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and the Prospectus Regulation, as it forms part of United Kingdom (“UK”) domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“EUWA”) (the “UK Prospectus Regulation”), to publish or produce a prospectus for offers of securities does not apply.
The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the IDD, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. No key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and the securities will not be offered or sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK.
Each person in the UK who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any securities under, the offers to the public contemplated in this Pricing Supplement, or to whom the securities are otherwise made available, will be deemed to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and agreed to and with each underwriter and Peru that it and any person on whose behalf it acquires securities is not a “retail investor” (as defined above).
