The CUSA Notes 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 European Economic Area (the “EEA”).

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the CUSA Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the CUSA Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
