  (Effective Date) 
 
 

Covered Bondholders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Series 2017-1 Covered Bonds when such intermediary would require to receive instructions from a Covered Bondholder in order for that Covered Bondholder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Consent Solicitation before the deadlines specified above. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission of Electronic Voting Instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified above.

Until the Extraordinary Resolution is passed and the Eligibility Condition has been satisfied, no assurance can be given that the Proposal will take effect. If a quorum is not achieved at the initial Meeting or the quorum is achieved and the Extraordinary Resolution is passed but the Eligibility Condition is not satisfied, the initial Meeting may be adjourned for not less than 14 clear days nor more than 24 clear days and any such adjourned Meeting of Covered Bondholders will be held at such time as will be notified to the Covered Bondholders in the notice of adjourned Meeting.

If the initial Meeting is adjourned for want of quorum, the Issuer may elect to terminate the Consent Solicitation prior to the adjourned Meeting with the result that the Covered Bond Proposal is not adopted.
