  Relevant Market Rate: EUR mid-swap rate for a term of one year prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (CEST) on the Bloomberg page "ICAP EUR Swaps" (or its successor page) on the Interest Determination Date, as determined by the Issuer, or, if it cannot be determined in this way, a comparable capital market rate for EUR for a term of one year determined by an independent expert of international repute to be appointed by the Issuer, if necessary with reference to existing capital market rates or reference interest rates. If, in the opinion of the independent expert, a recognized capital market rate or reference interest rate for EUR for a term of one year exists at that time and has become established as the standard, the expert shall base his determination on this capital market rate or reference interest rate for the determination of the Relevant Market Rate.

• FINMA measures / Acknowledgment by the Holders of Bonds: In the event of a restructuring proceeding involving the Issuer, FINMA may order all measures to which it is entitled under the then applicable financial market regulations.
  Such measures may also affect the Bonds:
  • whether by way of a full or partial reduction of the nominal value of the Bonds (including a write-down to zero),
  • a conversion of the claims under the Bonds into equity of the Issuer
  • a transfer of the Bonds to a new legal entity and/or in any other way
    In a restructuring proceeding, and in compliance with the legal requirements, FINMA may order the merger of the Issuer with other legal entities and/or its conversion into another legal form, also affecting the Bonds.
    While bail-in is subject to the Swiss Banking Act, including NCWOL protection according to article 30c and 31(3) thereof, Holders of the Bonds also expressly and irrevocably agree, by purchasing Bonds of a Series, to accept the FINMA Measures and their effect on the rights of the Holders under the Bonds as binding on them in full and without limitation even if it should turn out that their position would have been better in a bankruptcy of the Issuer. By purchasing Bonds, they expressly waive the right to bring or in any way assert any claims in this regard against the Issuer, other creditors of the Issuer, FINMA or other legal entities.
• Early redemption: The Bonds may be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at par plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon on the Optional Redemption Date, subject to a notice period of at least 15 and maximum 60 days. The Issuer shall be entitled, subject to the approval of FINMA if applicable, to redeem the outstanding Bonds, in whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of a Tax Change or a Regulatory Change or following repurchase and cancellation of at least 85% of the original principal amount, subject to a notice period of at least 15 and maximum 30 days.
• Issuer substitution: To the extent permitted by applicable financial market regulations, the Issuer may at any time, without the consent of Holders of the Bonds, substitute another legal entity as debtor for the obligations under the Bonds in accordance with Condition 10 of the General Terms and Conditions of the Bonds.
• Changes due to adjustment of financial market regulations: If the applicable financial market regulations enable the Issuer to issue bonds qualifying as additional loss-absorbing funds, the regulatory terms of which differ from those of the present Bonds, the Issuer shall be entitled to make corresponding changes in the terms and conditions without the consent of the Holders of the Bonds, after which the Bonds shall still qualify as additional loss-absorbing funds within the meaning of the financial market regulations subject to certain conditions as per Condition 15(b) of the General Terms and Conditions of the Bonds, including a requirement that the interests of the Holders of the Bonds are not materially affected thereby and FINMA has given its consent to such amendments.
