Full announcement via Luxembourg Stock Exchange
13 February 2023. The Issuer announces today an invitation (the "Consent Solicitation") to eligible holders of the Notes to consent, by way of Extraordinary Resolutions at separate meetings of the holders of each Class of Notes, to certain amendments to the terms and conditions of each Class to include therein a new condition relating to the recognition by holders of the Notes of the resolution powers of the Relevant Resolution Authority in relation to the Notes, all as further described under "Summary of the Proposals" below. This announcement does not contain the full terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation, which are contained in the consent solicitation memoranda each dated 13 February 2023 (the "Consent Solicitation Memoranda", and each a "Consent Solicitation Memorandum") prepared by the Issuer. Subject to the restrictions described under "Solicitation and Distribution Restrictions" below, Noteholders may obtain a copy of the relevant Consent Solicitation Memorandum applicable to their Class of Notes from the Tabulation Agent, the contact details for which are set out below. In order to receive a copy of the relevant Consent Solicitation Memorandum, a holder of Notes will be required to provide confirmation as to his or her status.

"Summary of the Proposal
The proposal is to include a new provision in the Conditions of each Class relating to the recognition by holders of the Notes of the resolution powers of the Relevant Resolution Authority in order to maintain the eligibility of such Class as Tier 2 instruments under the CRR and as MREL eligible liabilities (the "Bail-in Proposal").
If the Extraordinary Resolution is passed in respect of any Class, the proposed amendments to the relevant Conditions will be binding on all Noteholders of such Class of Notes, including those Noteholders of such Class who do not vote in respect of, or vote against, the relevant Proposals.
If the Extraordinary Resolution is passed at the relevant Meeting in respect of any Class and the relevant Consent Conditions are satisfied (or waived), the Issuer will determine when execution and delivery of the relevant Supplemental Agency Agreement is to take place and will announce the effective date for implementation of the Proposals.
Noteholders are advised to review the relevant Supplemental Agency Agreement, which sets out the proposed amendments to the relevant Conditions as appended to the relevant Consent Solicitation Memorandum."
