See “Description of Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. | ||
| Optional Redemption: | At any time and from time to time prior to the applicable Par Call Date for each series of the Fixed Rate Notes, the Issuer will have the right, at its option, to redeem such series of the Fixed Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest that will be accrued and unpaid to and including the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below) plus 10 basis points in the case of the 2030 Notes, 15 basis points in the case of the 2034 Notes and 15 basis points in the case of the 2038 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
On or after the applicable Par Call Date for each series of the Fixed Rate Notes, the Issuer will have the right, at its option, to redeem each such series of the Fixed Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption.

| “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the series of such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer. | ||
| “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the remaining term of the series of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed (assuming that the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed matured on the applicable Par Call Date for such series of the Fixed Rate Notes), or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
“Par Call Date” means, in the case of the 2030 Notes, March 29, 2030 (one month prior to maturity), in the case of the 2034 Notes, January 29, 2034 (three months prior to maturity) and in the case of the 2038 Notes, January 29, 2038 (three months prior to maturity).
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each series of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date (assuming that such Fixed Rate Note matured on its applicable Par Call Date for such series of the Fixed Rate Notes) but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such series of the Fixed Rate Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date. | ||
| Change of Control Triggering Event: |
If a change of control triggering event occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem a series of the Fixed Rate Notes, it will be required to make an offer to repurchase each series of the Fixed Rate Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes of such series, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Fixed Rate Notes to the date of repurchase. | |

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
The Notes offered 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”). 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 2016/97/EU, as amended (the “IDD”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014, as amended (“PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market: Solely for the purposes of the product approval process of each of the representatives (each a “Manufacturer”), the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended or superseded) (“MiFID II”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the Manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, and without prejudice to our obligations in accordance with MiFID II, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the Manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS
The Notes offered are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“UK”).

Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook (“DISC”) for offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.
UK MIFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
