Distributors should note that the value of the Subscription Rights and the New Shares may decrease and investors may not recover all or part of their investment; the Subscription Rights and the New Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Subscription Rights and the New Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering.
The Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Subscription Rights or the New Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the Subscription Rights and the New Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
